The Quiet Notes
Soulmates According to Deepak
I have already published this post in another blog that I own, but since it has very few readers, I decided to move some content here. The word is very familiar to all of us. This is what everybody wants to find, the ultimate fulfillment of our lovelife. But do we...
The Five Peso Coin Wisdom
Photo: flicker.com This morning, as I was preparing to keep my laptop, I was surprised to find a 5 peso coin underneath it. I could not remember how I left it there or if it even belonged to me. But who else would it belong to? I’m the only one who has that annoying...
Sky.Sea.Sand.Laiya

Yolanda, The Sea and Me
I have always loved the sea, as can be demonstrated in a poem I wrote in 1999, although this poem has a deeper meaning for me. I was in love with a guy whose name translates to the sea. With or without the guy, I loved the sea. I grew up in a place where you could...

Change: An Antidote to Boredom
Photo: quotationaboutlife.com And so the week had been a kaleidoscope of emotions. I got happy, sad, mad, bad, good and then I started to be an annoying person. Most of all, I started to be out of focus. I don't know what's happening, it's like life is spinning so...
That Magic Wand of Life
We all want to have a magical day every day. Is it even possible? Does waking up on the right or wrong side of the bed really have an impact on how our day is going to be? I don’t think this idiomatic expression holds true. How we feel waking up the next morning has...
