To These Souls

The souls...
She had three names and I wondered how was she being hard up in writing her complete name her kindergarten days. She grew up in Taguig because of her Papa's work in Metro Manila. With the rest of the family, except for their Papa, she came to spend the rest of her life in the rural. We were sophomores then when we met.  She spoke the dialect though in twisted tongue. I oftentimes ate not only lunch and enjoyed off-class hours in their place. As much as we had fun days, we also shared different times until the high school batch fragmented to pursue college.
We found catching up elusive and for the last time I heard about her was she was so sick-- so incurably sick until she demised.
I tried to contact her family to attend her funeral but I was not able to go.
To her soul, may she rest as with the seas of souls she is with...

World Day for Cultural Diversity

21May. World Day for Cultural Diversity. (Christ), in whom the whole building being fitted together,grows into a holy temple in the L-rd (Ephesians2:21) In the next coming years, I cannot imagine my daughter, a half-blooded Igorot whose father speaks Tagalog, mother who speaks Kankana-ey and Ilocano and schoolmates who speak Kapampangan or teachers speak English, how her liner would be. Further imagination brings me to hearing her say, "Adiak like idiay kung nasaan sina Lolo tan awan unay tao."

World Reading Day 2020

This was my preggo days. Unbeknownst, I visited my OB-Gyne just thrice. The first two for the sonography of the tiny life budding in my tummy. The third time was because of an impending urinary tract infection. I had more time reading this book than supposed visits to an OB-Gyne. G-d had been so good to me and had me a safe delivery of a daughter. The self-help book reached another hand of an expectant friend.  Whiling time during not-so-hectic clinic duty,  I laid a book to gorge on. One co-employee barged in for a photo op.  I met these young minds when I was in Caloocan. One day, we found ourselves dating threesome in a library. Suddenly, I felt like I belonged!  Ah! The student days. No, I don't want to mention my "extended" years of stay studying that degree Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

[) \/ |\/| 2016: For the Win

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.  -Albert Einstein           My life consort sparked me an idea on how to review. I know a certain way won’t apply to everybody else but let me try to win you with some of what I believe in.          Studying demands a hard-core mental job. A sound body comes a sound mind. Start with a healthy lifestyle. Remember your science teacher blah-ing about go, grow and glow foods, needed hours of sleep and physical exercises.          Commencement wanes for another starting line and the board exam high days seem to be accelerating. You are so fresh from all the feeds from your college professors (industrious they are!) and years of studying. So strike the board immediately. Though some intend to do self-review, consider a review center for it may be the step one can do to the least....
