An Enlightening Visit to The Doctor

I know I looked like a clown blissfully smiling when I when left the clinic. I’m not going to die soon, not yet and not because of cancer! That is certain. Every time I touch the lymph nodes on my belly and on my left arm, I imagine of dying with cancer. And if I’d be lucky to survive, I imagine myself bald because that’s the after effect of chemotherapy.

A Deja vu Escapade during Holy Week in Danasan Eco Park

Inside the cave, every inch on the icy water with soft minerals brushing through my skin felt like I was reenacting a memorable experience I once had in the past. Every step seemed to unravel each perfect reel from a dream. “I must have been here before,” I told myself.


Before such dream-like adventure inside the cave of Danasan, we had a quite “ride of a lifetime”. It was like traveling on a tormented sea, except that we were

The Perfect Dream I Wasted

A lot of my writings are inspired from my dreams and nightmares. Last night’s was the most vivid dreams I’ve ever had. I woke up reminiscing all the intricate details of my dream. I remember all the names of the character and some of the scenes. I tried to run through my memory if those characters were similar to the movies I’ve watched before. I was certain I haven’t seen them

Reminiscing My Yehey's and Uh-oh's After Graduation

The sweetness of summer heat reminds me of “yehey” and “uh-oh” feelings after graduation. I didn’t have to sleep late at night or wake up early and suffer the cold water every morning. There would be no exams or school assignments so I would have more time for TV and play.

Johnny's Confession - My Boss

Not everyone is born to be a boss. This is what Johnny wrote on his Facebook wall. I talked to him one day and this is his story.

He feels that his career is at stake. The company he’s working for is in crisis, and then his situation gets even worse. Even before the crisis, he already felt that his boss expects him to leave anytime. His

The Love of the Second Language English

English is only my second language. The first language I’ve learned and used (other than baby language) was Filipino specifically the local dialect Bisaya. During my childhood years, my spoken dialect has its distinct intonation that people from the city used to laugh at. I came from Siquijor so I also have a stong “Siquijor accent”, which is a little akin to the intonation of the people from Bohol. I studied college in Iligan City, where I have met different dialects. Since that time, my “accent” seemed to have a new flavor. Whenever I go back home however, it always amazes me how my tongue comfortably tunes back into its original intonation. I just simply love my own dialect! Read more:

I Am Busy - The Lamest Excuse

“Don’t wait for big things before you start.” This was one of the striking lines that seemed to flash in my memory after reading Bo Sanchez’s article. Every week, I keep on receiving emails from him for my Soulfood subscription. Early that day before I opened Bo’s article, I wrote a blog related to success but it was full of questions. I sighed in relief reading his teaching to reaffirm my ‘ideology’. Read more:

How to Become Successful


I want to be an author. I want to be a singer. I want to be a rich businessman. And the list goes on and on. For sure everyone wants something in life, a dream.

I love to imagine myself having all or any of these dreams coming true. It gives me a little glimpse of what I want to see in the future. With a little tease of my future self, I find myself gaining a little more confidence of myself. Imagining however isn’t enough.

Filipinos Should Not Leave The Country

One US dollar is equivalent to 42 Philippine pesos as of this writing. It implies that it only takes to have at least 24,000 US dollar to become a millionaire in the Philippines. That is very enticing, isn’t it? Assuming you have a stable job waiting abroad (not only the US) it is really temping to leave the country. We can’t deny that most Filipinos working abroad have improved their living status. They have big houses, luxurious cars, and other material things. They can afford expensive vacation trips. They can provide expensive education for their children. Behind their lavish living however they have experienced lots of hardships and sacrifices that people in the community are not aware of. With that, I could say they also deserve to enjoy what they’ve acquired abroad. Despite greener pastures abroad, there are still valid reasons Filipinos should stay in the country.

10 Least Viewed Blogs

Like in every store with slow moving items, I would presume that every blogger also has at least one slow income-generating post. It wasn’t that bad as I see it. Sometimes, what writers like to talk about is not what other people want to hear. Despite of that I still continue to write about things that inspire me to write, may it be readers magnet or not. So ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present to you my top ten least viewed blogs.

Tax, Why are You Such a Burden?


It is December. It means not only Christmas celebrations, parties and vacations but also big tax deductions.

Since it is the last month of the year, it is expected that everyone especially those who are employed would receive their bonuses and extra compensations. It sounds like a lot of money, right? That was my impression before. Every time I heard my teachers complaining about their payrolls every December. I thought they were only being greedy. Now, it turns out I am the ones blubbering about what I saw on my pay slip. The world really is round!

I Joined Toastmasters and I Got What I Needed


If you think you’re not good, then you need toastmasters. If you think you’re good enough, then the toastmasters club needs you. This is a favorite quote of area 83, which I heard from a friend club Cancabato Bay toastmasters. I like it because it applies to me both the first sentence and the second sentence. 
A few years ago, I joined toastmasters because I knew I wasn’t good enough as a communicator. I used to stutter in front of a crowd. After being on stage I used to feel like I should have done better, then I would feel disappointed about myself. During my first speech in the toastmasters meeting, I really couldn’t construct my thoughts on stage clear. I was almost talking nonsense.

I Won But Not Again!

Before the speech evaluation contest last October 1 in Cebu, a lot of things ran in my mind. They were all perfect anticipated alibi materials if I wouldn’t win in the contest.

Few nights before the event, I took home a gray colored pen I found during a farewell party I attended. I really couldn’t help the temptation to pick it up though it was just an ordinary pen. I only did it out of stupidity. Then I thought if ever I won’t win, it would be because of karma. So karma came, I didn’t win.
I also thought what I would wear during the contest would matter. I considered that I should wear the same long sleeve and the same pair of jeans during the area 83 contest, where I won.  Instead, I decided to wear my maroon short sleeve polo and a black pair of slacks. That would be a jinx combination of colors if I wouldn’t win. And yes, maybe maroon and black really shouldn’t be paired.
