Rice Stones & Stories

Our daily food comes with rice. It’s mainly for Asians but I heard some parts of the world eats rice, too. These are bland, soft, tiny grains that are usually white. I say usually because it has other colors, too! Two weeks ago I saw, though I did not dare taste it, what they call

And we all need inspiration

An afternoon of surfing through the web, I stumbled upon this video. I usually pick videos to watch. I admit that I did not know there are also TEDx talks happening in the country; my apologies for being ignorant, so I got curious with the video title. Just few months back I was kind of

Life goes on…

I had no idea how to start my day. We just got the horrible news last night and we haven’t recovered yet from shock, especially my husband. When you are confronted with life’s reality, you have no choice but face it. My husband has a strange relationship with his dad but he loves him nonetheless.

Never Mind the Dog, Beware of the Owner

The past days has been total disappointment. I did not intend to write about it but what the heck, I might get over it and probably take it off my chest if I write about it. Two days ago, my father’s pet dog bit someone. The scary part is that the dog is not even

I Don’t Like NBA But It Doesn’t Matter

I was told today that I should just accept how our government/politics work or risk being hurt by an Official’s assassin. This made my blood boil. My daughter was diagnosed with a GDD (Global Developmental Delay) months back. At 2 years old, she only babbles. Together with my husband, we moved to the province and

What I See Outside

I find it weird when I look at people today. I wonder what their lives are, their worries, are they happy, what do they desire? Humans desire to connect is imminent in today’s world. They leave their houses, unplug their gadgets, put them in their bags, go to a cafe or at the mall to

Thinking Kindness

A couple came by today and called for someone’s attention at the gate. My husband and I were working in our room, listening to “I will be here for you” by Michael W. Smith. I asked the couple what they’re here for and they offered a trimming service for a small amount of money to

Effective or Defective

We’ve only been here for two days and I can no longer bear the pain of missing my husband so much. For me and my husband, this is our big sacrifice to have a little control over our family. For me, this is my way of getting away from the controlling few. Me and Blyf

Turning Point

A woman’s life is a mixture of all colors, not lined up like a rainbow. One color at a time, a mixture of two or three, sometimes all primary or secondary, at very few instances-All of it. A woman unlike all other human beings possess in itself alone the ability to facilitate harmony or chaos,
