Quote for the day:
‘Whatever you give a woman, she’s going to multiply.
If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart. [...]

Just want to share this from a friend’s email. Made me reflect what kind of teacher am I ?
“The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires.”

I personally love this song (composed by one of our church mates). It talks of everyday struggles and surviving life’s demands only to find rest in a faith that there’s a God and that hope of seeing His paradise.

Lalo’t sanglaksa ang hirap at [...]

Last week, my friend and i went to this ocean park in Manila, just behind Quirino granstand. Well it’s not as spectacular as the one in Subic or those other oceanarium you might have visited , maybe not yet. But you’ll see these mantra rays, sharks, variety of starfishes, ‘pinoy’ fishes (usually seen [...]

So much for here and now
that we wish to meet
Taking away all time
and what we have is now
Taking away all space
and what we have is here
Or so we thought, as one famous tongue preached
How come we find it hard still
to find each other
to even hold your hand
those warmth I once knew
to recognize your [...]

She looked up
only dark clouds
another rainy afternoon
her heart refused the dance
the tune of gentle raindrops
tears fell
her eyes deny
This distance ….. this coldness
to demand this distance before its due
but it was not physical space she feared
She knew soon she will have to leave
To seize every chance
is what she willed
only to save new memories
to later [...]

Stardust …..
(got this from Yvaine’s words in the movie Stardust)
You know when I said I knew nothing about love….
Well that wasn’t true
I know a lot about love
I’ve seen it. Seen centuries and centuries of it…
It was the only thing that made watching your world bearable
And all those wars, pain, lies and pains…. made me want [...]

I am currently working at a local university, both as a professor and a program head for a department. Oh no, I’m still young… and literally smaller too for such titles as most people would be surprised about. Well that’s not why I want to share this.
I’ve always been fascinated with teaching… with telling stories [...]
A person’s worth is not measured on one aspect of achievements neither is it determined on the extreme side of failures nor is it gauged on the pieces of learned realizations. It can only be appreciated by looking at the mélange of all these facets. What we say or think at the moment is not exactly who we are, it only speak of what we are at that particular moment.
I have always been fascinated with simple chats that turn into witty exchanges which later become profound conversations then evolve into genuine friendships. . . . whether I’m involved or watching it unfold from afar.
