A WHITE HAIRED FAIRY IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD

A WHITE HAIRED FAIRY IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD The thought of meeting a real fairy in my neighborhood has never occured to me until today. Not until I heard one of her teary eyed Cinderellas say, "She was my fairy godmother with the golden carriage and the magic wand, but one who did not have a curfew.... Sign in to see full entry.

On Alice and the Cheshire Cat

WHITE DAISIES FOR MY SISTER-IN-LAW

WHITE DAISIES FOR MY SISTER-IN-LAW I have known her for 25 summers. And who ever knew that on this silver year, she will say goodbye? She was 61, too early for twilight. Lord, I prayed, maybe you can extend her life? Turn silver into gold? Just so she will be able to see and kiss her grandchildren?... Sign in to see full entry.

SOME FREE LUNCH AND MORE!

Some Free Lunch and More…. I wondered what I would write about today. Suddenly, I was at a loss for stories. I said it aloud, hoping somebody could help me in my dilemma. A friend and work mate seated beside me says, “You can write about me. The simple lunch we shared this noon; my transformation!”... Sign in to see full entry.

ONE BLESSED SUNDAY

ONE BLESSED SUNDAY I have always been intrigued by the story of Jonah, the erstwhile messenger of God who was swallowed by a great whale. The Bible says Jonah was only tasked to speak a few words to the errant people of Nineveh. These were “Repent! Or Nineveh will be destroyed in 30 days.” But Jonah... Sign in to see full entry.

GOD GIVES ME A BREAK, AND HOW!

MY GOD GIVES ME A BREAK, AND HOW! I take off my bus and walk into the early morning fog today. And for a while, my eyes see through the mist, the hazy outline of towering pines and rolling terrain, of pretty townhouses neatly tucked in a row and long stretches of grasslands. Greens softly melting... Sign in to see full entry.

AN UMBRELLA STORY

AN UMBRELLA STORY If there is anything I like most in myself, it is laughing out loud and mighty at my little follies! Imagine my day today, running in the heavy rain with my big black traveling bag over my head and laughing tauntingly at myself as I hopped from store to store in this city, looking...

WALKING MOM

WALKING (the) MOM My two older sons, the Artist and the Musician walk me home tonight. A little tipsy with too much red wine at the Rotary induction party, I boldly challenge them to take the full length of the two blocks towards home. A beautiful night it was, drenched in the mists of a cool... Sign in to see full entry.

FIRST LOVE, IS IT REAL? (MY STORY)

FIRST LOVE, IS IT REAL? (MY STORY) Is there really a phenomenon called first love? How real is it? If we have a first love, then we surely have a second love, a third and so on and so forth? Does it follow? I quite didn’t get it, until now. When you’re young, things seem to be as muddled and hazy as... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I love traveling. It doesn’t matter where. It could be imagined or real. But going places and learning about people have always fascinated me. In fact, I can say that I find much of my greatest joys just finding out what people dream about, what they cry and hurt about, what they laugh about. Personalities fascinate me no end. People are beautiful. Everyone has a story to tell. I learn a lot from others. I am enriched and humbled by knowing and interacting with others. I have also this nagging burden to share my wanderings and wonderings with you so that somehow, the roads that we take could be entwined and lead us to the one great road of learning and loving and growing……together. Watch out for my next blog! Will start Part 1 of an exciting story. It is about a woman named Maria, well known in her little town of Buruanga, AKlan, (Northwest Panay Peninsula), near Boracay, the Philippines who gathered the best shells in these parts of the sea.
