In a matter of weeks, my two younger brothers will be graduating in college and high school respectively. Finally I can now heave a sigh of relief.

Today, I’ve come across an inspiring blog where the author spoke of less and more and why it is of the essence. Let’s face it. Most people nowadays have become too absorbed with the hustle and bustle of life as if it’s ‘cool’ to be so. Women for instance have embraced multiple roles as a [...]

Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was [...]

I only have this to say: W-O-W!
See, even inmates can summon inspiration. I saw this from my cousin’s FB but did not figure out how to make the video appear in my blog until today. They are the “Dancing Inmates” from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security prison. It was so [...]
