JASMINE IN MY MIND

No one emerges unscathed in this battle field called life where we keep fighting for elusive dreams and ambitions, for a taste of power and success. Funny how we collect scars along the way. We literally are submerged in a life rife with drama, comedy, even horror and full-packed suspense/action thriller. These scars, however, are [...]

Have you noticed one thing in common among social networking sites today?  They’re all swarmed with Father’s Day greetings in varying styles and languages! Here’s a small catch though – I haven’t sent my own Tatay any message yet. So I carefully typed in these words on my mobile phone: “Happy Father’s Day sa pinaka-cool [...]

Sleep seems elusive tonight. The reason I came up with all these blog entries. By the way, here’s a poem by Khalil Gibran I like. Gibran was introduced to me by who else, but the hubby. In 1997, the first ever present/gift he gave me was a collection of Gibran’s wisdom in book form. Hey, [...]

For nearly eleven years, on this day of the week – the ever reliable wife, meaning yours truly (yeah right!) marches out the house with her [...]

Random acts of kindness can be manifested in different ways. A friend going out of her way to ease someone’s burden. Simple gestures you unconsciously do, yet brings cheer to other people. Throwing candy wrappers into proper waste baskets (especially if you’re inside my house.lol). Uttering kind words. Sharing some chocolates. Being patient. The list, [...]
