Carpio That is both an easy and a difficult question. Yes, I do present my true self to others. The moment I step outside of my house that is who I am, what you see is what you get. However, My jobs do not define me. My strengths do not define me. My weaknesses do not define me. My successes and failures do not define me. I am imperfect. Human. I am prone to error and misgivings.

My identity is I am God's creation. May God love me as I am. God bless you my friend!

How are we today? he added. And he exclaimed it has been a long time. You aged a bit cuz... Richardson re...

Peter's visitor is at it again. It started when the Autumn leaves turned into shimmering spectrum of shades of pastel colors. He noticed the bird when he woke up one morning while sipping his cup of tea, he saw the winged creature flying like a hummingbird by the mirror.  It was amusing the bird thought that the reflection it has seen was that of another. Then, he became somber as he realized that it was on the contrary a stark experience of a friendship. Why? Because from that unforgettable early cold morning the bird kept coming back to visit it's so-called friend. It became all the more endearing as he observed when he came back from Scotland that the bird is still a regular visitor. The bird he admired for the sole reason that though it was not real its' loyalty was sublime. Peter thought to himself. Such loyalty. Quite a splendid friendship. Then, he surmised come to think of it some human friendships though real could not compa...
