English Pronunciation
If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.
After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud.
Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I...

God's Own Eyes
Saint Lucy tore her beautiful eyes out to get rid of a suitor. Does God really find this pleasing? He created her in His image and likeness and she would just mangle her face just like that? Why didn’t she just escape or explain her refusal to be courted? Couldn’t she serve God while keeping the beauty that He blessed her with?

There’s this band I don’t like and the vocalist sounds too tired after just a few lines. Too bad can’t be too vocal about it since I know them personally.
Just sayin’, hate that I can’t rant! haha

Uuuyy... ni-rape nya, yihee!
Mother uses the word RAPE loosely around here. Today we watch a Koreanovela and she sees a husband carrying his wife around the house.
To this she says: “Ano ba yan, na-rape na nya.”
Sometimes the term RAPE to her means SEX. I heard her say once:
“Sabi nila hindi na raw virgin si Angelica, ni-rape na raw siya ni Derek.” — which to my understanding meant they had...

OLO Mercy
I write profiles of Catholic saints and when I came across the story of Our Lady of Mercy, I almost cried. It was said that when she appeared, she carried two bags of coins to ransom Christians imprisoned by Moors. Mothers will do anything for us, especially Her.

My first grade teacher once called my parents to the office to tell them I need to get accelerated. I didn’t want to because that would be abnormal. I still wonder what would have happened if I got ahead.
I just remembered this incident because of our report on Gifted Children. May suspetsa talaga ako na gifted ako dati! hahahaha!!!

Religious Chain Letter?
Disappointed that there is a chain letter using the name of “Miracle Mother of Vailankanni”. It says if you don’t print out 1,000 letters, something bad will happen. If you do, you get whatever you want. I have enough faith in God to throw it in the trash and continue praying the novena. It takes countless amount of effort more than just photocopying letters for a wish to be...
Transition Year

There are days when I feel my heart forgets to pump that I have to take a deep breath to nudge it. I haven’t figured out why that happens.

If I’m going to blame something for my height, it’s the TV and late night shows.
Giving my father my ATM may be my first step to an altruistic lifestyle.
