across the miles

One day, I was chatting with my sister in Canada and the rest of our family members in the Philippines. I am based in Singapore. With a webcam on, it was fun seeing them. It was heartbreaking, too, because I know how difficult it is especially for my sister to be away from her two kids [...]

The Navigators

I just saw this video few days ago. So surprised to see myself here. Haha. I just remembered Dan J and Mele visited me at SunStar newsroom to do the interview more than two years ago. I am so privileged to have met the Navigators in Cebu ten years ago. They have become like family to me. Through them, [...]

My twelve-year-old niece Cary told me how much she appreciated and enjoyed their class recollection activity few days ago. It’s a time where they gathered and reflected about their lives as they will soon graduate from grade school. I was amazed because I only had that experience when I graduated from university! Oh, well, private schools in the city are definitely [...]

Misty

I’m gonna miss this greenfield. This is what I usually see every morning as I walk to the bus stop to get my ride to the office. I so love it. Cool. Misty. Refreshing. I love to see the grass and leaves still bathing on morning dew. I love the smell of fresh grass. And when I come [...]

the apple of his eyes

Just few hours ago (about 10 pm), I got news from home that my nephew RJ was taken to the hospital. He has high fever. He threw up and nosebled. We prayed for healing and protection. My heart became at peace. I know my Father is with us. This is a very worrisome time, but I smiled when I saw what [...]
