I know at times, there are some decisions that we would do that may be slightly against what we should do. I think in terms of decision making, there is no exact formula. One would go according to his personality, beliefs, thoughts and personal views in making this decision. It may sound silly for the others, idiot for some, senseless for the majority but the truth is, we all have our own reasons even if others would say that it is wrong. Back in college, I remember asking 10 different people about their thoughts of child abortion. 5 of them said no to abortion, 3 said yes, and 2 said it depends. I expected them to have different opinion of course, but their reason in regards with their answer surprised me. They were... [more]

I know most of us right now is in a middle of something. As we are facing our own battle, pain and struggles, sometimes it is hard to see the silver lining. I myself have faced different problems. I’ve been cheated, I’ve been dumped, I’ve been hurt and once lost. I almost felt like giving up. I’ve seen my dreams falling apart right before my eyes, yet there is nothing I can do to save it. I was never perfect, and I know I will never be. I’ve lacked a lot of things that should have made me a girl of every man’s dream. I’m missing a lot of aspects that should have made ideal. But I learned to embrace my imperfection as a part of me. I have learned that patience is a virtue that... [more]

Everyone of us experienced pain in the past. There is no exemptions to that. Things happen whether we like it or not, prepared or not. And there are times that we cannot do anything about it…but to accept. Some will say… it is meant to be. (destiny is the exact word for it) Perhaps what people failed to understand in life is that, “Our life, is our choice.” There are times in our lives that situations can bring us down, if we allow them. They can crush us and bring us under the enormity of depression and despair that resides in our insecurities, loneliness and any other myriad of negative life situations. What we choose to do with our life because of these situations is really up to us. We can... [more]

I have watched different versions of the tv series Ugly Betty a.k.a Betty La Fea or I love Betty La Fea (the latter is the Filipino version). For me, it is a good story. Although there are different versions and story line, it only portrait one thing… Beauty is not everything. I am not saying this because I am against  beauty. Beauty is beauty… good as you see it. What I am trying to say is that although beauty is a one big factor, there are many things that matter more than beauty does. It is just fine to enhance ourself to look more beautiful and gain self confidence, but for those who cannot afford to… it doesn’t mean you can’t stand out from the rest. Beauty also comes from within…... [more]

The first question here is, “How do you see others and yourself?” Do you see yourself lesser or greater than others? And are you happy by the way you see both? Sometimes, one can become so envy that he almost wish that he is someone else because he envy what others have. Sometimes, one can feel angry because of someone who seems to be different from him. And sometimes, one can feel jealous towards a person who holds power, wealth, brain or beauty just because he thinks that he is lesser and simply he is undeserving and not qualified. Are you one of them? Have you ever been an average student and wish you were someone like your gifted classmate? Have you ever wished you were as rich as you classmate and... [more]
