I’ve been in and out of discussion with my sister regarding parenting and each time, she’d think that I am not in the position to comment about it because I am not a parent. While I agree that I am not a parent, I beg to disagree that I don’t have the right to say what’s on my mind about parenting. This is not to say that I am right and she’s wrong but I just want to voice out my opinion on what kids should learn these days and what not to. Regardless, it’s her discretion to listen or not. On gadgets… we both think that gadgets disrupt a child’s creativity. Gadgets make them think that everything comes fast. Why, internet is so fast that videos in HD are streaming at full speed. Gone are those days when you wait for commercials in order to watch the 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th part of the whole episode. Gadgets buy time on a child’s attention but it also shortens their patience and sense of imagination. On getting what they want… I do think that there is a time for everything. For...

You get this feeling of humility when you let others speak without interrupting. During my younger days, I thought sharing your mind is the thing. I get this familiar bliss of knowing that I know a lot. I get high in thinking that somehow, I get ahead on information. I get to be a know-it-all in my own right. But nowadays, I think that more than contributing more in conversations by sharing my ideas, I am leaning towards listening in what others would want to say first. And whether or not it fits my own idea of a certain topic, I seem to care less. I learned that we can agree to disagree or disagree to agree. I don’t need to conform because sometimes, the thing about right or wrong,   it is subjective. Rather than defending why I like WHITE more than Black, I understand now that there is no need for it. What I Like is purely mine and I own it. I don’t need anybody to agree with me. I have come to accept that we are born in our own uniqueness. What is tr...

Out of sight, out of mind. I seem to be really getting the hang of it. Remember when a good friend left SG recently? Well, we’ve been very close. Skyping every day about everything. When I’m upset, her line is always open to all my complaints, when I’m sad and feeling blue, she’d hear me out and give me advice. She was there, every single day, we chat our hearts out, having a reason to talk about every time. Prior to her going back to PH for good, I was feeling really emotional. I mean, who wouldn’t? I kept on thinking about having no one to share my struggles with on a daily basis. I kept on feeling burdened that I’d have to completely withdraw myself from her, because she will be having a new life and I don’t want to impose myself on her. She promised me that we will keep in touch. Of course, I think so too. People are so connected nowadays with the innovation of technology. However, I have come to realize, that although people change, the effect of the ...

“Lonely kasi pag walang girlfriend” And I kept silent and tried my best not to think about it. First, I appreciate the honesty but loneliness is not a good reason to be in a relationship. I have been single practically all my life and loneliness is not unfamiliar to me. But thinking that I need to be in a relationship because of it, just doesn’t feel right. I believe that the only reason for me to be in a relationship is because I sincerely love and care that person. I can’t take being in a relationship just for the sake of being conveniently called “taken”. Honestly, I’ve never been taken not because I never intend to but because I believe that there is that someone who makes me consider changing my relationship status. Perhaps for some, it comforts them to be in a relationship to give that sense of purpose or sense of belongingness but not in my case. I truly believe that relationships are best when you enter it with the foundation of love. Second, ...

 I’m so spent up! Normally, I’d travel during this month. It’s like a culmination and a reward’s month for working so hard for the past year. Much like graduation to students. This year, I was planning to go to Canada because my visa will be expiring in October and it’s such a waste not to use it, (they might not give me a visa again, God forbid!) however, I was not given a leave to fly off and spend at least 2 weeks there. Too bad! But when I think between flying to the US/ Canada and Europe, I don’t know why I’m much drawn to the latter. I think that there are so much to see in Europe and the experience will give me so much more memories. When I was in my early 20s, Europe is that big cloud hanging above my head, all pearly and sparkling and I’m just an ant trying to store food, bit by bit, day by day. In saying so, you get the picture right? Europe is an impossible dream. But by the end of my 20s, it seemed reachable. At 30, I was able to make it happe...

So I watched a Korean show whereby K celebs are coupled together and would go through a “for show marriage” it’s called, We Got Married. There’s this particular couple that I am so obsessed about. The guy reminds me of a boy and a man at the same time. He’s very detailed, the diary detailed type. He’s into making bouquets, hands on in choosing couple shirts, bracelets etc. he brings in huge backpacks with wet tissues, umbrellas, towels and toiletries. he volunteers to cook, clean up and household chores for his wife. He even debones chicken wings and gives those to his wife to eat. On the flip side, he’s into big motorcycles, the Harley Davidson bike types. He’s into motocross. He knows how to plant vegetables ‘cause he used to live in the countryside. He leads, more or less. The girl on the other hand is active, intimidating and strong. She’s competitive and would bet on every game they played. She likes to drink and she’s not that organized. She’s caring if she wan...

There are days when I feel like I don’t want to get married at all and there are days when I feel like I need to rush to meet a good guy and marry asap. And today I feel like the latter. Blame it on the Royal Wedding! My friend said, “Meghan is soooo damn lucky!” I agreed but then it got me thinking, hey, her life will change BIG TIME. It’s really not at all good if you think about it. For one, although she’s an actress who seemed to be used to the limelight, she had days where she quietly jogs in the park and perhaps eat burritos on a bench without a care in the world. She had nights wherein she can freely go and be oblivious to the surrounding eyes ‘cause let’s face it, she’s not much of a paparrazied big time celeb. With her marriage to a Prince of Wales, she’d be subjected to unending scrutiny. She’d have royal guards all over her and perhaps, be in her best look every time of the day. When you think about it, isn’t it pretty exhausting, restricting eve...
