I believe in this… You know why? I’ve met some pretty amazing individuals in my life who have shown much more kindness not only to me but to my family more than the relatives we have. Individuals who are not blood-related to us. Let me tell you about my godfather, Jose. He’s been a constant [...]
I am aware that a child does not have a responsibility to provide for his parents. It is the other way around. When a child is already of age, he has to make his own life and it is understood that he will separate from his parents to create his own family. But there are [...]
I don’t believe in prolonging the life of a sick person. We can see for ourselves if the person is already suffering fighting for his life. Unless there is a guarantee that the person will be cured of his sickness or that he still wants to fight for his life no matter what, then I [...]
A person I know only sees his family when there’s a special occasion being celebrated at home. Or when he badly needs to talk to his parents about something, like if he got in trouble. And during family Christmas parties. He would often tell others that it’s no big deal but you can see, when [...]

I think we will all go to great lengths to achieve our American dream… to permanently and firmly set foot in the Land of Milk and Honey. Filipinos have this preconceived notion of overflowing dollars as long as they are in the United States of America. But the truth is, life is hard wherever you [...]
Let me tell you about this mother who lets her kids walk all over her. She tolerates all their foolish ways and even looks past her kids faults. I was told that the younger kid, a teenage son, wasn’t home at four in the morning. The mother, waking up not seeing her son at home, [...]
I was watching Hoarders in BIO Channel with my sister a while ago. We were talking about how those people can live like that. Mountains of trash and rotten stuff around you inside your own home. Eeek! Two families are featured in each episode. In the episode that we caught today, both mothers were hoarders. [...]
