How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday&#8217;s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

Saan Ka Nakatira? Ano ang ginagawa mo? Where do you live? What do you do?
These two questions define who you are and what your identity is. These two questions either bring you confidence or shame, hope or despondency, contentment or anger. “I live in (fill in the blanks) and I am [...]]]></description>

My wife, Edna, and I will celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary this week. When we said “I do” to each other back in 1979, there were no guarantees our marriage would last. After all, in California, 50% of all marriages end in divorce so we had a 1 in 2 chance that our marriage would [...]]]></description>

Typical Philippine sunset in any of the 7,127 islands comprising the archipelago.
It seems like only yesterday that I got on that jet plane in Manila to get to America. It was never my intention to leave the Philippines.

“No Filipinos or Dogs Allowed” was a common sign that appeared in motels, boarding houses and night clubs in the 1930s in California. While Filipinos have made progress and are now allowed in places where dogs are still not allowed, the California Legislature is one place where dogs and Filipinos are still foreign creatures.

The severe rice shortage that may yet result in food riots in the Philippine has forced the staunchly “Pro-Life” government of Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to concede the need to raise public awareness of population control. After years of rejecting United Nations and USAID funding for family planning programs, the government has finally realized that maintaining [...]]]></description>

(Scenario: A contemporary Filipino in the Philippines saying his evening prayers.  Amidst the rice shortage and rising fuel costs, he still hopes and believes in Divine Providence)
Dear Lord Jesus,
Kumusta ka na? Regards lang dyan kay Father Almighty at kay Holy Spirit.

I asked a friend in Manila what he was doing nowadays and he replied that he wasn’t doing much, just waiting for GMA (Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo) to fall. I asked him if he was at all concerned about the rice crisis we had been hearing so much about. He said that he thought it was [...]]]></description>

Surely this has been the Philippines’ headline for the past week &#38; it’s just sad that cancer strikes again into another popular personality in our home country.
