The precise events that make up my childhood are somewhat unclear. I have only a handful memories before age 11, and some stories from others, but both can be fallible. When I was about 3 my mom and dad separated. He’d had a vision that he was going to be a prophet, and was told to sacrifice me to prove his worthiness. My mom thought that was a bad idea, packed up my sister and I, and we moved away (to his disappointment… but he’d show up later). One time I walked in and my teacher made some comment abou...

Finding the significance of this gift called life. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. As I walk through the shadows of the valley of death. Psalm 23 remains to be the most popular chapter in the Bible. The psalmist’s way of declaring himself as one who is in need of a shepherd echoes universal pathos of dependence and at times helplessness. Sheeps are direction-less. And in many ways, so are we. You walk. This shows the daily walking, breathing, living along with the trial that surround you. You go thro...Death...

Compassionate Considerations: The Beauty of Tranquility
http://compassionateconsiderations.blogspot.com/2009/02/this-is-picture-taken-recently-as-we.html
Finding the significance of this gift called life. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. The Beauty of Tranquility. This is a picture taken recently as we were driving from Sorsogon back to Manila. It was a grueling drive that started at 4am. At 6:01 AM, I finally saw her. We drove to the Cagsawa Ruins after dropping off Kuya Eugene and company at the Legaspi Airport. After taking several shots, I noticed 2 crosses and I snapped one picture as I tried to capture the serenity of the place. View my complete profile.

Compassionate Considerations: February 2009
http://compassionateconsiderations.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Finding the significance of this gift called life. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. See you soon Lolo Eli. Last Sunday at 11AM, my wife's grandpa was cremated at Loyola Guadalupe. His children and grandchildren were all there - except for those who did not make it from overseas. Mama, Wifey's mom was the eldest among the siblings. I could still remember some of the Lolo Eli anecdotes she shared with us when she was still alive. We proceeeded to the old Makati Cemetery, where we learned that body funerals were...

Finding the significance of this gift called life. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. The dilemma that is, Michael Phelps. He captured the hearts of millions worldwide when he swam to Olympic history last August. He achieved a phenomenon that will not be repeated maybe in several decades. Young, hip, affluent now because of his lucrative endorsements, Michael Phelps is on top of his game. Then this week saw that horrific image of him taken at a party somewhere. The sports hero sniffing marijuana. Michael Phelps...

Contact / Speaking Requests. Finding light, in the darkest of times. Sat with my mom in the living room of my grandmas house, the morning sun pouring through the windows. We were best friends. I was 11, and we had gone through tough times together: abusive husbands, poverty, homelessness, despair, and more moves than I can remember. And even though we hadn’t been able to afford to keep my older sister, we had stuck together. That’s when she told me she was leaving. This is my story. My mom saved me.

Compassionate Considerations: The Agony of Losing One's Job

Finding the significance of this gift called life. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. The Agony of Losing One's Job. Almost everyday a news item would carry stories of companies laying off their workers. It has become a daily announcement that it could probably trigger any of these two reactions:. 1 Feel overwhelmed at the scope and enormity of these job losses. 2 An apathetic attitude because the person hearing the news does not want to feel emotionally uncomfortable. Millions of our countrymen leave the count...

Compassionate Considerations: Wildfires in Australia
http://compassionateconsiderations.blogspot.com/2009/02/wildfires-in-australia.html
Finding the significance of this gift called life. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. The fires are still blazing and 141 people have died. Many of them still trapped in their cars as they were trying to escape. Very horrendous and suspicions have been raised as to the real cause of these fires. Firefighters were really stunned to discover that some of the fires already put out weeks ago were again ablazed by arsonists. It is expected that there will be more casualties when this tragedy is over.
