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.

A TURKEY FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY

A TURKEY FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY For weeks now, I have been making sideway glances at the beautiful, elegant necked, white feathered turkey tied to the mango tree in the backyard. If I were to be asked, I’d rather give it to you alive rather than served in a platter roasted, baked or stuffed. My heart... Sign in to see full entry.

A FASCINATION WITH GATES

A FASCINATION WITH GATES I have always been fascinated with gates. Yes, gates! In my travels, my eyes would always linger at each and every gate along the way. Each one amuses me in some special manner, stirring feelings of melancholy, excitement, sometimes derision, and wonder. Every gate for me... Sign in to see full entry.

TIME TO ME (more chunks of.....)

TIME TO ME, II ( chunks of.....) The sound of the pendulum is as foreboding as the cry of the wolf in the night. And we hurry. We run. We cram ourselves in buses and in the malls as the clock chases our harried selves in a sinister merry go round. Reaching a place we call home, we slump our tired... Sign in to see full entry.

TIME TO ME .....

TIME TO ME... I have long waited for this moment to write about TIME. Time to me is a resource (which should be) as free, as limitless and as available as water, wind and sun. What could have entered man’s mind when he tinkered with Time? Making a lot of fuss by dividing it into seconds, minutes,... Sign in to see full entry.

Sister Adelle

I got the biggest surprise of the day today........ when towards midmorning, a neighbor Sister Adelle peered through the white ruffled drapes of our living room window to say hi and say she's coming in for an unannounced visit. Munching juicy wedges of sweet and fresh pineapple, I was enthralled to... Sign in to see full entry.

THE GREAT FISHERMAN OF BAGUMBAYAN

THE GREAT FISHERMAN OF BAGUMBAYAN And everywhere, life is full of heroism... -Desiderata Berto stepped inside the training venue a little late. Apelike, barefooted, with mud that has dried on his feet and legs, faded denim shorts, a worn out polo shirt slightly rolled at the sleeves, I took a... 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.
