Since I Fell For You 3/9/2005
I always thought I'm righter than rain, that no one
can hurt me anymore coz there's not much left of my heart
to break. Since I fell for you, everything's changed.I
got no more barriers for my defense, no more masks to wear
to hide my soul. You took everything you can take and carelessly
flaunt it all around, coz you're cold, you feel nothing
for me. To you, I'm just a conquest, the ever ...

LIVING AND LOVING... 3/8/2005
Have you ever wondered which
hurts the most?
Saying something and wishing you hadn't?
or
Saying nothing and wishing you had?
<br>
I guess the most important things are the
hardest
things to say.
<br>
Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them.
If
you do, they might break your heart...if you
don't,
you might break theirs.

Workaholic’s focus 3/3/2005
God never intended work to become the sole focus of our lives.
When it does-
when it captures all our emotional energy-then work becomes
an idol, a god that rules us.

Eyes On Me 3/2/2005
I often think when I find her, I'll be content, but love
like love has their own setbacks. She's the only one
I want and more, but there are realities I have to face. For
one, she's married, I am, too, in a way, married to my
career. But I sacrificed that for her, for the love of her.
There was a time in my life I needed her, and I couldn't
message her or call her coz her husband is ...

HELP!!!! 2/19/2005
Does ice break? How?
I am a secret admirer of a very nice woman. I dont think she
knows it. Seems like I have answers to everyones problems
but my own. I'm sure she doesn't take me serious
when I , in my subtle way, toss some flowers in her direction
(Spanish tradition). Is there an easy way to go out on a limb?
Walk on thin ice? How do I break it? HELP!!

If only the government officials will emulate what the
Canadian leaders are performing (honest, hardworking,
patient, compassionate who work for the people not for
themselves) then we can still see light at the end of the
tunnel. I was a campus journalist and a student activist
in my time even before Ninoy Aquino was assassinated but

PETS IMPROVE OUR WAY OF LIVING 1/7/2005
When I came to Toronto on the first week of December 1996,

pets.

us after many years. Such visit of relatives for that span
of years is very memorable because of their distance to
us. In the span of 12 years a relative of mine, my auntie had

A CANINE PET IS FOR LIFE 12/25/2004
Dogs are the most wonderful creatures to own because they
don’t brood about the past, they don’t hold a grudge against
their owners. They
seem to know when correction is fair and just, and they definitely
have consciences, which to me proves they also have souls,
although I am
