Drawing Lines: January 2014
http://quietbutnotstill.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 20, 2014. Humble has two meanings. It means NOT PROUD and it means LOW TO THE GROUND. That's Wilbur all over. He's not proud and he is near the ground."-Charlotte, Charlotte's Web. Sometimes, a gentle reminder such as this hits the spot. :-) This list comes from St. Josemaria Escriva, a saint for ordinary people doing ordinary work. Allow me to remind you that among other evident signs of a lack of humility are:. Thinking that what you do or say is better than what others do or say. Letti...

Drawing Lines: Health Rights
http://quietbutnotstill.blogspot.com/2013/07/health-rights.html
Monday, July 29, 2013. Okay, in the last post. I talked about the rights of the unborn. The people who are for RH accuse those who are against it of caring too much about people you can't see that the health and the rights of the people you can. As if pregnancy is a disease. And anyway, women's health is already covered in the Magna Carta of Women. Which is already a law. SEC 17. Women’s Right to Health. – (a) Comprehensive Health. Women’s mortality and morbidity: Provided, That in the provision for.

Tuesday, November 12, 2013. 5 concrete things to make you less self-centered. Photo by Juliana Coutinho. A friend once ranted to me that there’s nothing else to see in EDSA but billboards that feed people with vanity. You can turn heads with your white skin, slim figure, or cool clothes. Every man will fall for your straight and silky hair. Smell like this actress or that model, and hopefully you’ll channel them too. Now, why do we need to be less self-centered? So—how to achieve this? And when you see t...

Drawing Lines: No to lazy solutions
http://quietbutnotstill.blogspot.com/2013/07/no-to-lazy-solutions.html
Thursday, July 18, 2013. No to lazy solutions. Last week, a news story on MMDA’s plans. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a rant or two about jeeps and buses—I won’t deny that their drivers seem not to have learned the basics of traffic rules. But don’t forget that no matter how many complaints arise about the. Here's an old story:. Because it's not pleasant to take public transpo! The way, then, to get people to leave their cars at home is to makeover the whole public transport system. Make it ea...

Drawing Lines: Picky picky

Thursday, July 25, 2013. If you say a new person with unique DNA is not alive. Then explain why this whole development process starts off at that point. I'm glad this article came out in PDI last Sunday. After the July 9 oral arguments at the SC, you'd think it would be clearer to the public why the RH Law is unconstitutional. But no, the media is picky, and it decides not to report a lot of things. So we gotta give The Philippine Daily Inquirer. S op ed piece. :-) Here's something from that article:.

Tuesday, August 28, 2012. What would happen if Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio collaborated in one work of art? In this Palanca award-winning one-act play, Amelia Lapeña-Bonifacio. Puts the two key figures in Philippine history together in a dialogue that gets them to talk of their joys, sorrows, hopes, loves, and special vision for the Nation that they both dream of passing down to the new generation of Filipinos.

Drawing Lines: March 2013
http://quietbutnotstill.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 6, 2013. Art by Aaron Felizmenio. I just came across this interesting article. An online news publication (soon to be print tabloid). It talks about how to be a good voter by describing the bad habits of a bad voter ("bobotante"). Here's one that must be reiterated:. 3 “Di ko kilala mga kandidato. Bahala na sa makikita ko sa balota.”. It's true that before we go vote, we have to do our homework! I like this one too:. 6 “Di na ko boboto, wala rin naman magbabago.”. Your non-vote is an ind...

Saturday, January 5, 2013. A few truths to think about. I suppose it's high time I explain why I do not like contraception, and I fear I have no more excuses to leave it for another day (weekend, month, year) given the fact that I am currently stuck in my room for the next few days/weeks. Also, I am trying very hard not to scratch this chicken pox, and typing gives me a reason to keep my fingers busy doing something else. They're connected to contraception. What makes it different? Any gradeschool kid ca...
