It was a guerra my mother told us. And the enemies were akin to berdugos she recounted. That was why they had to flee for their lives in many dias of walking. Family heirlooms like libros, diamantes, oros, and myriad valuables were taken with them.  When they were in a temporary shelter at the campo, the men had dug-up bomb shelters and every time the piloto del aeroplano would be in near proximity the sirenas of the campo would be an alarma to the people to ran and hide in the bomb shelters, they did not want to die from the bombas. Food was hard to get, my mother recalled that her Papa would have a basket-load of dinero de Japon but it could only buy some pieces of pan de sal. Our grandparents planted vegetables to have more food, plants like tomatos, camotes, and other root crops. My mother was always in a somber and pensive mood whenever she would tell as the cuentos of the guerra. We lost loved ones during that war. Tanque, canyon, riple, and otras mas palabras del Mil

It is a good facility. The whole surroundings are dotted with greeneries. And, it is clean almost sterile to a point. I would say it is better than some Government Facilities. Most importantly, the patients both adults and children are well looked after by the medical staff and personnel. The resident management is the Missionaries of the Poor. The Missionaries of the Poor are based in Jamaica. And the missionaries come from different parts of the globe. Last January, they had help from a twenty-people-team from Sydney, Australia: The Maronites. They stayed for a two-week-mission. I interviewed the leader of the team, George Nasr. He told me about their noble cause. The Charity Mission was founded in 2012 by eight people and it more than doubled as of the present. The volunteers are estimated to be about five hundred people.  It is a privately funded pursuit and a non-profit organization. They have missions in Lebanon, Iraq, India, The Philippines, and in their h

Before Christianity, people believed in the old ways. Superstitions. Beliefs in inanimate objects, the unseen, and the arrangement of things or anything in the universe. An example would be a horse shoe is lucky or a broken thing is unlucky.  It may be cultural. In the field of sociology, total immersion is needed to understand a tribe or a community. Rational and logical thinking makes your strategies solid. Medicine, Science, Modern Technology, and Computer Technology contributed to the recent renaissance in the world. Spiritually speaking, why put your faith in those things when you can place your faith in Lord Jesus Christ? Personally, I can vouch for the many miracles in my life that I attribute to the many answered prayers. Jesus is Pure Light. He will cast all your fears or shadows in your life in bright illumination.  In the final analysis, God created us and He will be the one to take our last breath. However, you may have your own opinion and I do have mine.

You do not have to fight with a bully at all just ignore and walk away. Displace him or her with a walk in the park. Do not let them have power over you. Mind your own business and focus on your own life. After the bullying all they do is be lost in their own thoughts, sleep and do same the following day. So, Make the rental space in your mind really high end. Better yet put a no vacancy sign and bullies will be shot by the Police metaphorically. You do not have to suffer at all. As long as you did nothing wrong you are innocent and do not deserve that treatment. Nobody can make you feel less or damage your dignity without your permission. Avoid them like the plague. If you need to do a Forest Gump go ahead and do so and run! Forest, run! Why are they doing those things to you? Elementary really, evil exists in the world. The devil is lurking for a prey. You may have something that they want. The best thing you can do is just say, no! And, when they realize that no matt

Never give up chasing your dreams foolish as they may seem. You have already gone this far. And, you are still alive. Life is fleeting and we can never be sure what the future will be like for us. Remember that your own late father and mother were writers. A columnist at Naga Times, your father would be proud. And, you know that they already know. Sometimes you feel unsure because what happened in your life is so surreal. Who would have imagined you have been able to become like your father. Yes, there were people who said you could not do it but you have a lot of faith. You have a mother who had a lot of faith. You have a lot of faith in God. Writers are already in the endangered professions list. Many aspire but few are given the gift of writing. Thus, it is a responsibility. You have been writing since high school for the school paper. Now it is 2020. People tell you how blessed you truly are because words just flow like water from the ocean of your mind. Stories: I have b
