True, writing remains to be my first love but my husband and I have been discussing a lot about my writing career and we have both come to the conclusion that it should be done because I’m passionate about it and not because we need to put bread on our table.

I recently attended a very empowering business seminar and I am so enthusiastic about being beautiful and about life in general. I never fall for just about any business opportunity that would come my way but today’s seminar was quite different–it caught my fancy. I mean, how many companies would include the concept of believing in [...]

Just as Julie Vega’s photograph on the right is slowly fading, so will memories of her if no one would do anything to let the world know that she once existed.
It’s already 23 years since Julie’s fateful death yet there are still some people who are trying to keep her memory alive. Just like her [...]

On August 29, 2008 my husband met the two faces of customer service. The unpleasant one showed itself first–fortunately. I’m saying he’s still fortunate because, at least, the day ended well with the pleasant experience. This is what I actually mean:

How many parents still tell bedtime stories to their children, honestly? I mean let’s face it, bedtime stories take up minutes of your precious time as a busy parent. Sometimes, the extra minutes that you should have spent on a nice warm bath still goes to that mommy-and-baby-bonding-time called storytelling.

What better love story would there be than LOVE STORY? This classic film is also a classic tear-jerker as it tells the story of a rich boy who falls in love with a poor girl. And just when you think all is going well with them, the bomb drops and you have to deal with [...]

As early as first grade, I’ve made stick figures with thought clouds just to express all the stories that are bottled in me. By fifth grade, my uncle has given me a book entitled Tom’s Midnight Garden. This book spurred gazillions of ideas and from then on, I wrote non-stop. I was able to produce [...]
