Let LOVE truly win

Last June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States of America, in a landmark decision, ruled that all bans on same-sex marriage in all states are unconstitutional. This means gay and lesbian couples can now marry in all 50 states. The world rejoiced and social media erupted in colorful rainbows. Of course, there were also those who were not as happy, which is not really any less surprising. With issues like this, there will always be a divide. I can accept and respect that. What I cannot accept is the mudslinging that happens between these groups; the name-calling, the sweeping generalizations, and the sometimes idiotic debates where the parties only seek to speak and not listen or understand. It all eventually becomes personal, and, for some, ruins relationships. Is it really so hard to agree to disagree? Must every post supporting one side be marred with hateful and preachy posts from those espousing the other side? Can one not express their opposition without being

Philippine Independence Day 2015

I will forever be proud of every Filipino and my dear beloved country, the Philippines. While we know we are not truly independent, we have tasted the freedom that our forefathers so bravely fought and died for. May we continue to fight to keep this freedom in our own unique way. May we triumph over those who try to take this freedom away from us. And despite the many difficulties that we encounter in our lives, may we continue to be everyday heroes and inspire the world with our story wherever we may be. We are with GMA-7 in dedicating this beautiful cinematic version of the Philippine National Anthem , Lupang Hinirang, to every hardworking Filipino around the world, our everyday heroes. Raise that flag, Pinoy! Natatangi ka!

French fries: friend or foe?

By -

Ever since I can remember, I have always loved (worshipped, more like) French fries. This greasy, calorie-loaded appetizer has become my go-to food, my comfort food, when times get a little too much to handle. (French fries and bacon, actually, but bacon deserves a special post of its own.) During my college days some x years ago, I would find myself walking to a McDonald's outlet at nearby Ayala Center Cebu all by my lonesome self. I wasn't hungry, no. I was simply craving for some of their crispy, salty French fries, and would order the largest one available. Then, Potato Corner opened shop at the same mall. They have French fries in all flavors -- cheese, barbecue, sour cream, chili barbecue, wasabi, and more. They also sell them in various sizes -- from those small pouches to quarter-of-a-kilo tumblers. To a French fries addict lover like me, I have found my own piece of heaven. groupsmore.com And apparently, Yaku and Tating did, too. I wonder if I may h

I hate goodbyes

I hate goodbyes, so don't think I don't care if I don't spend hours in long tearful embraces or lingering kisses. It's just not my thing. I don't like saying goodbye. And why say goodbye, in the first place? It's not like we're not going to see each other again. It's a small world. One way or another, we are going to meet again -- in this life or another. Goodbyes for me are endings. I don't like endings, especially with people I hold so dear. For me, saying goodbye is putting an end to a relationship, closing a book, so to speak. If I say goodbye to you, that means I am closing my life to you, that you are no longer part of my world. So know that if I don't say goodbye, it means I still want you in my life. And I'd rather say, "Till we meet again," and look forward to that day when we do see each other again and make it seem like I didn't leave at all.

My summer in Bohol

Hi, I am Tating. I am spending my summer vacation with my lolo and lola, my papa's parents, in beautiful Bohol. My kuya Yaku came with me earlier in April, but he had to go back to Cebu for his piano lessons. I am having the time of my life here in Bohol with my Pa Do and Ma Ping, my cousins Kuya Intoy, Mommy Paula, and Ate Istin, my nephews Janjan, Nixon, ZJ, and my niece Maane. I always spend my summer vacations here. I love Bohol. It is a lovely place that will always be dear to my heart. I wish Mama and Kuya were here. I also love the beautiful beaches, the green mountains, and the overall peace of the province away from the city. I will tell you more about them soon. For now, this is my "Hello, world!" post. Hope you enjoy reading our little adventures.
