Bakit tunaw na agad ice cream ko?

Summer na naman. Mainit. Tumatagaktak ang pawis mo. Plak! Plak! Plak! Tama. Ganyan ang eksagerasyong kailangan para sa mainit na kapanahunang pumapaso sa balat mo.

Minsan sa sobrang init, natatakot akong mangyari sakin yung napanood ko isang araw, noong wala akong magawa sa bahay. Sa National Geographic pinalabas yung tungkol sa spontaneous combustion. Marami pa ring teorya kung bakit nangyayari yun. "Posible kayang masunog ako sa sobrang init?"--baliw na yata ako.

Kung napanood niyo naman yung "An Inconvenient Truth" ni Al Gore (kung saan natulugan ko ang kalagitnaan), marahil alam niyo na ang mga panganib na dulot ng Global Warming. Alam na naman talaga natin bago pa nagpaliwanag at nagjoke joke si Al Gore sa kanyang dokumentaryo. Hindi lang natin pinapansin. Ngayon, pansing pansin na. Sana. GRABE na ang init. GRABE.

At kawawa ang mga polar bears.

Masaya pa ba ang summer? Kahit napakainit? Oo naman. (toink!) Sa mga susunod na taon, sunog na tayo. Masaya pa ba iyon? Isipin natin. Maraming taon mula ngayon, may kakanta pa ba ng "I just wanna be on the beach!"? Teka, may beach pa ba kayang mapupuntahan?

Minsan, kailangan lang talaga nating magmasid. MAKINIG.

at Kumilos.

  i took off my shoes by Danielle Moler The house has been different of late. Felt differently, too. It seems empty although it isn’t. Mom has been in the US for quite some time now. We sisters manage having the house all to ourselves, looking after ‘home’ stuff and, well, of each other. Now, waking up everyday brings thoughts I would hardly entertain if I were in another time in the past, particularly in smaller pajamas. Childhood was colored with morning cartoons and playing outside and discoveries that made my young self giddy with wide eyes and little, grand episodes of whoa-look-at-that tugging of somebody else’s shirt. It was a carefree time. And I didn’t even know you have to pay for cable tv, and that there are such things as credit cards. Sometimes I wish life was as simple. Now, I’d open my eyes in the morning and reminisce about how things have changed—the ceiling looks closer, the furniture are smaller, and I don’t have to jump anymore or stand on my toes to see myself

LOVE IS STILL THE ANSWER.

| We're alive. We are loved. And we are worth it. | "It's unfair. Why are there people like them?"  I asked sadly. Like a little girl who witnessed an unamusing prank for the first time. I could hear him breathing on the other end of the line, just listening. I could hear his heart break too, as much as mine. *** I remember talking about prince charming s and happy ever afters in my journal when I was young. My teacher would remark time and again about my optimism, saying that real life is far different from how I would wish to see it---that love is far more complicated than frogs and beasts turning into our dream princes. Far less magical than fairy godmothers and sewing mice. But I loved happy endings. And I was a dreamer. "You are an overly optimistic girl. I fear your optimism will break your heart someday." *** It did. It broke my heart over and over. Yet each time, I tried to pick up the pieces over and ov

SERVE LIFE FORWARD: Travel meaningfully, Live joyfully.

| Boracay, Philippines. 2015 | I have nothing but precious words for Earl for helping me make my first trip to Boracay exceptionally memorable. He made a video of the trip , and I was very thrilled to see it and share it with the family. :) While it is true that you need a budget to travel, there is absolute truer truth  (hehe) in the cliche that the best things in life are free. Things like the feel of the warm sand between your toes as you cruise your way towards that venerably majestic point where the sea meets the shore. Or the cool morning breeze brushing up your face, bringing along with it years and years of stories of natural awesomeness--of a force that formed the rocks that hide beneath the earth, and sustained an island as beautiful as Boracay. Also making life as awe-inspiring as it already is are encounters with people who are lovely and compassionate about the world. They are a great testimony to the wondrous things one can create and inspire with kind
