I guess there are really some things we can never explain. You love him but you gotta stay away from each other. S-P-A-C-E. It's something you know you both need... so you could think. so you could figure out what you really want. so you could breathe and find yourself. so.. so.. so.. you could clearly feel if love's still there. In love,...

I have lots of people to call friends. Uhm, we all have friends, right? And i miss them now more than ever. My Brokenshirian Family. We have been more than friends, our bond is like that of a family, though I am not really open with them but I was being true in their fronts and in their backs (lol), yet they still...

1. I was born of my parent's prayer to have a baby girl. (They said I was such a princess.) 2. I was born a cute girl and they named me WOW. (believe me, my aunts told me that since I can remember) 3. ...but my younger sister can only utter wo-wo. (Thus my nickname now) 4. I am a cry baby 5....

Everybody’s been talking about it, yes, the Piolo-KC break up. They’re trending topic almost everywhere and I guess I just have to give a comment. What went wrong anyway? Both parties are giving us all question marks and here we are who just love to talk about people, making assumptions. Being both public personalities and famous artists at that, they just can’t live...

How to choose fish: The smell should be fresh and light. Any kind of ammoniac smell, except in stripe fish, should be thrown away. The meat should be hard and elastic, with sticky scales, wet, covered by a light transparent mucus. The abdomen should neither be inflated, nor have signs of tear. The eyes must be clear, shiny and convex, and occupy the...

Tatay (grandpa) died today four years ago. It was a sad moment of our lives just like most people experience when a loved one pass away. We were in tears but he was too precious to God, he was taken away at the right time and had not been allowed to suffer in agonizing pain. He was 86 at that time. The doctor's...

“Push yourself to the limit”, that’s what we’ve been taught. “Strive hard and you’ll succeed”. “Good things come to those who wait”. Nah, being born and raised to follow those who have authority and the elderly; I have learned to endure a lot of obstacles throughout my life, hurdling through to get the inked parchment paper that would become my passport to what...

In this world where all we can trust is ourselves, it's really hard to avoid getting hurt. When all we wanted was to be happy and we do all the goodness and kindness in the world, we could not completely spare ourselves from all kinds of pain. Those kinds of pain we learn to get used to, the pain that causes us inconsolable...

Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind. But not all family is created equal. Just like where nobody's perfect, family comes in all sorts of forms and sizes, with unique experiences and situations. Where everyone tries to please everyone and end up disappointing people who love to criticize, the family as the basic unit of society is no safe from...

For two weeks now, I've been bugging my friends and family, asking them of their signature dishes and specialties so that I can have something to post here. My college friend Chef Kristel Llana, gladly took the challenge. So here's her version of Black Midnight Cake, yes you can drool now :) For two weeks now, I've been bugging my friends and family,...

Why I love Davao Life is good here in Davao and it’s been recognized as one of the best places to live in Asia. For locals, we can have as much fun as we can while being very sure of our safety. It is not a common combination for rising cities but it sure is not the only thing I love about the...

Blame everything for the throbbing headache, it’s one of the things we don’t like to have but still we have them in different forms. Good thing is that everything can be treated and alleviated in some ways. Tension Headache – this feels like a monster’s hand squeezing our brains out. It may start out as stiffness in the neck, forehead, scalp and face,...

The sun is at its highest and strongest points between 10am-2pm so avoid staying under the sun at these hours. Or, you may risk yourself of getting sunburned. Yikes, not healthy for your well-loved skin. You may end up as a toasted boar. Haha. Slather on some sunscreen. The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) number, when multiplied by the amount of time it takes...

cto Adapted from: You Have the Power to Create Love by Bo Sanchez Don’t try to please everyone. Disappoint people. Know your call and answer it. (As the cliché goes, be yourself. Be always true to yourself. No matter how much we try our very best and show the world what we’ve got, people would always have something to say. People love to...

Admit it; we all love to have beautiful skin - radiant, smooth and evened skin tone. Don't deny it majority of us have tried almost everything we saw in the beauty section. And as we look at ourselves in the mirror, our pretty little monsterized faces reflect. After years of trying to find the perfect all-in-one beauty product to solve all my skin...

Even before I learned how to write my full name, I witnessed a not so perfect part of my life. I would prefer not to go on details but I still get a picture of that night my parents separated. We were a happy family and both mom and dad did what they were ought to do, to become the best as they...

-shaking off the long distance saddie- A few would prefer it but most of us would be dreaded to be involved in a long distance relationship. It is being lots of miles away. It's not being physically together with a loved one. It's celebrating special occasions apart. There's the constant longing and the feel of being alone sometimes. And to add insult to...

(The desire for freedom) The hypocrisy would soon be over. I was an above average student and without doubt, I knew I got my nurse license like a piece of cake. I had all the right and privilege to practice my learnt and earned profession in every way to serve my fellowmen. Over a year ago, I was desperately trying to find my...

She’s a devil’s advocate. She is so obsessed of her stick thin body and labels herself as “imperially slim”. Yeah, I need to accept the fact that she makes me feel very insecure for the fact that she’s two inches taller than me, that she doesn’t have to limit her food intake to maintain her figure, she has one of the most creative...
