The Quiet Notes
‘Tis the Season for a Make-over
If you’ve been reading my blogs since the start, you’d notice that during the holidays, I would have a post about a make-over, and the things that I would like to achieve for the next year.(That would be my New Year’s post). So, here in my place, the looong holiday...
The Grace in Waiting
"O come, o come Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel. That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear. Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee , O Israel" commons.wikimedia.org This is an advent song which I vividly remember singing in church when I...
How Depression Affects Us
I have always been open with my experience with depression and this blog has been my medium for sending out information about this disease that cripples many. I still have my bouts but the good thing is I already know what triggers it so as much as possible, I try to...
Gratitude for the Proofs of Heaven on Earth
Finally, I’ve finished reading Proof of Heaven. I purchased this e-book about 6 months ago, but I only had the time to finish this lately. This book was written by Dr. Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon , who was privileged to have a glimpse of heaven and actually feel...
The Non-Negotiables In a Relationship
A couple of months ago, I posted something about the list , which supposedly was a list of the qualities I am looking for in a man. I admit, it was quite superficial. Okay, it was very superficial, that’s why I also said that the list was flexible. Of course, you...
The Exodus : Leaving Tacloban After the Storm
It was only on the fifth day that I finally decided to leave for good. It took me that long because I was not able to get to a final decision from my sister. I do not want to leave anyone behind so I have to wait for us to have a fixed and final decision to leave....
Days After Haiyan: We Loot to Survive
My sister and I tried going into the stores to get whatever we can, but we came out empty-handed. If you see the situation inside the stores, you would think twice about looting. In my case, I got afraid when I saw some people went inside stores with kitchen knives to...
Days After Haiyan
The days after the typhoon went by swiftly as morning turns to night faster than it does on December. Mostly because we were forced to be at home at 5 pm, or once the sky started to darken. There was no electricity power, the whole province was in a total...
Remembering Yolanda (Haiyan): My Story
A note before you start — this piece describes the days after Typhoon Haiyan, including scenes of the dead. I've written it plainly because that's how it was. The only thing that's constant is change. Life IS a constant change, so they say. But what if at a snap of a...
New Beginnings As The Single Mom- Officially
I have been off this blog simply because I have been coming to terms with my present status. Though a break up has happened years ago, I admit, it's really been difficult for me to move on. I could have and had started rebuilding my life as a single woman with kids,...
15 Things I Learned from Francis Kong
I always believe that the quest for knowledge is timeless. There should be no expiration date, no age limit to learning. And that is why I always make it a point to invest in something that I would learn. So you just can’t imagine how happy I was when one of the...
The List: Uncut
Disclaimer: Photo:readingcinemas.co.nz Although this is based on my real life experience, the man I am mentioning in this post is still a work of fiction, any resemblance to people is merely coincidental. 🙂 Sorry for the title, I know it's misleading. I did it on...
