Veronica Decides to Die

I adore Paulo Coelho.My friend Sussette introduced him to me. She has all his books.Once upon a time, Coelho became a rage here. I guess everyone was reading his books although half of these people do not understand the depths of his writings. I have to admit I am an idiot myself. His writings were so lyrical, so poignant, so deep that I don't think I was able to scratch the surface of the depthness.Sometimes, I wonder if Coelho meant his books...

Barry's Answer to Kathryn

It is not too often that someone impresses me with the brilliance of their reasoning or their mind. Mr. Barry Young's response to my post impresses the hell out of me.After reading my post -- this was his response --Tinggay, when somebody tells you something, especially on the Internet, that may shake the foundation of your beliefs, you should always ask them to provide credible references for their claims. The problem with the Internet is that anyone can say anything.And the problem with Kathryn's claims is that they are about 80% incorrect....

Gossipmongers

Beware of what you speak.The other day, a neighbor came over and told my mother that one of my "workers" were stealing stuffs from me. That she saw a plastic of our product in the worker's room. You see, we took in our neighbors as employees.We live in one of the poorest areas here in the city and sometimes, my mother goes overboard with her zealousness. She's like all for saving her neighbors from poverty and ignorance.Anyway, my mother was really...

A walk with Paige

My little girl is teaching me the word APPRECIATION.Earlier this evening, I went for a walk with Paige. The houses across the street were demolished and so there left a wide space of green grass. The bridge across our house going to the mall was finished so with the wide space of grass, a bridge and a setting sun -- a walk is always appropriate.Paige is amazed with everything.We always take some time to look at the sky, the setting sun, the birds,...

Fairy Godmother Sells the Squids

Today marks the first day of our new business. It went well.It never occurred to me though that I'd go into squid business because I hate squids.You see, back when I was in High School, my father got into this squid phase where all he wanted to eat was squid. Squid, squid and squid. We practically ate squid 3x a day! You could say that at some point in my life it was our staple food. So, my sister and I hated squids.There was this one time when...

Interesting Blogs

Every now and then I come across really interesting blogs. And when I say interesting, I mean REALLY, REALLY INTERESTING.Check out Kathryn's blog. This is a remarkably interesting story about a man with a wife who was able to live his dream of being a woman in a span of two years. Kathryn was never attracted to men though. She was just raised to feel and think like a woman. She learned to equate self-fulfillment, completion and happiness with being a woman. This need was insatiable which led to this amazing journey.Another blog I find really...

Is Jesus Christ a Fairy Tale?

I am a Roman Catholic. I have been a Roman Catholic before I could even say, "Dumb-ass".I was baptized three months after I was born; so you could definitely say I had no choice on the matter.I studied in a Roman Catholic School for 12 years.By the time, I got out of that school, I was definitely a hard-core Roman Catholic.And if that 12 years weren't enough, my parents made sure that I see all other religion as false and Roman Catholic doctrine...

Payday Loan Debt Settlement

It gets really frustrating, doesn’t it? Paying off your payday loans. You almost wish you didn’t take the loan in the first place. Are you trapped in that vicious pay-loan cycle where you keep securing a loan just so you could pay off an existing one? You took that loan and I bet you said to yourself, “I am going to pay this off next payday.” But now, you’re stuck with loans and you’re paying off one loan with another loan. Unfortunately, there...
