Monday, September 22, 2008. My 18 Hours Under ICU. It felt like ages when the doctor pulled me aside “Can we talk? After making a quick look at him in all the tubes, I started making calls. The doctor gave the green light to get the loved ones over to kiss and say goodbye! The pendatang journalist. Disgusted, disoriented and despaired. It was the point of no return. Whatever support to the government had just evaporated. It was abuse in the first degree. Period. These days, in addition to protection we a...

http://metta88.blogspot.com/2009/11/ugly-ogling-ogre.html
Monday, November 9, 2009. Once upon a time, there lived an ugly ogling ogre who had a kind heart. He was a vegetarian. He was in love with Ohoho. Huh? Did I get your attention? This year, I have the chance to reacquaint with this power as I was roped in to teach. I become a ‘Jataka Penglipur Lara’ to a bunch of 7 and 8 years old kids. Theoretically, it should be a stroll in the park especially since the stories are all compiled in the text book. Lo and behold! Either I arouse them or I lose them! I downl...

Sunday, January 25, 2009. 100 Trillion Thrilling Note. Zimbabwe will introduce a 100 trillion dollar note as the once prosperous country battles to keep pace with hyperinflation that has caused many to abandon the country's currency. The new 100 trillion dollar bill would be worth about $300 in U.S. currency. A loaf of bread in Zimbabwe now costs about 300 billion Zimbabwean dollars! Like most commodities, the price increases every day. The kids would be overwhelmed to receive suitcase after suitcase of ...

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Once upon a time, there lived an ugly albino who had a kind heart. He was a vegetarian. He was in love with Dino. Huh? Did I get your attention? The power of storytelling is something that we fully understood and enjoyed as children, but somehow forgot as we grew older. We seldom remember key points stated as stark, bare facts. But we do remember stories and the powerful principles and messages that are subtly embedded inside them. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. He also urged parents...
