  • Maslow’s Theory of Needs – A Revisit

    ·

    Do you agree that only the poor are spared from the futility of life? We struggle for food and shelter so we find meaning in toil. It had me thinking, what would have I pursued hadn’t I been busy providing for my basic survival needs? Maslow’s pyramid showing the hierarchy of human needs came to…

  • The Talking Windowglass

    ·

    I caught myself staring blankly out the window, “What a dour,” the glass hissingly sneered, Unawed, unthinking, I shrugged off its crack, Alas! Once more it hummed:”why’re your eyes sad?”   “Quit worrying,” murmured I, while shivering in the cold. “It’s no use”,I urged it to let me sulk. Lament nor yield to gloom: none…

  • Beastly

    ·

        Handsome actor, cute actress, recycled script, predictable plot- Beastly should really be the last movie on your weekend watch list. I won’t go as far as 100 words to prove why you should not waste your time on it. I can forgive teenagers who want Alex Pettyfer or Vanessa Hudgens so much, they’d…

  • Sweet Sleep

    ·

    Do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep…

You might also run into some pictures of her tutees, workmates and adventures. Poems and stories and more.” How pushy, I thought (haha). It turned out,…

Congratulations, Ate! Click here to view the Secondary Level LET Passers, April 2011. Back in 2006, I also went through the agony of waiting for the LET Results.…

  • CNN Channel Wanted

    ·

    Ilang taon na rin akong di nababahala na walang telebisyong natutunghayan o inaantabayanan araw-gabi. Ngayon lang. Ngayon lamang na nagkaroon ako ng pagkakataong tumutok sa CNN Channel nang halos dalawang oras na walang patid. Marami pala akong di namamalayan.   Maraming pangyayari sa kasaysayan ang di ko pala nasusubaybayan. Maraming usapang may katuturan ang di…

  • The Red Tent

    ·

    How should humans, women especially, deal with jealousy and possessiveness? Especially ones that last half of their lifetime? I read “The Red Tent” full of wonderful expectations and Anita Diamant, its author, never failed to meet those. Jacob’s wives, Leah, Rachel, Bilhah, and Zilpah, were captured vividly in Dinah’s eyes. Miss Diamant has my utmost…

  • MANIPESTO NG ISANG DAYO

    ·

    ni Pat Villafuerte 1. nakahihirin ang bawat paglunok ng laway na sinaid ng mga pagbilin at pagpapaalala habang ang bawat bisig at mga labi ay nag-iiwan ng bakas ng pangungulila. di mahawan ang sapot ng pagluha na binikig ng putul-putol na pangangaral at paninisi, ng pangangatuwiran at pagtanggap, ng pagbabalik-loob at pagpapatawad. sa nalalapit kong paglisan, kayraming…
