REUNION PICK-UP LINES.....

The Christmas season is also a time for organizing and attending reunions. So what are the usual topics and questions? 

Here they are, without further ado…….

Show Some Balls Please Mr. Secretary

 

For the past couple of years, it has been a normal recourse for cabinet officials to resign or quit their post if they are not able to deliver the goods to their countrymen. As of late, Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho Petilla made public his intention of leaving his post, for his failure to bring electricity to Yolanda-hit provinces on the eve of Christmas day.

Part of Your World.......

"Sometimes, we wish to be a part of someone else’s world."

 - tweeted by your blogger last December 15

The photos they post and the status updates they compose give us a peek into their lives – the comings and goings. When they are sad and blue, we wish to be beside them, to offer a warm embrace, and uplift them up with words both comforting and reassuring.

A Journey to Healing by Miles Magbanua (guest writer)

December 5, 2012 / National Kidney and Transplant Institute

A year ago today, we received one of the most heart wrenching news of our lives. After almost 4 months of diagnostic tests to determine what was causing him severe bone breaking pain, we were finally given the answer. I remember sitting in front of his doctor, weakly asking, "What does my son have, Doc?", although deep inside I knew it was something terrible.

Doc answered, "he has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia."

To Anne Curtis: You Cannot Turn Back the Hands of Time

Anne Curtis is an actress, TV host, model, endorser, and as of late, an aspiring “singer”. But she will not be remembered for the aforementioned predicates to her name “Anne Curtis.” So far, she will be remembered for her slapping rampage at Prive Luxury Club, early morning of November 23, 2013.

By now, I guess all of you already know the whole story and who were at the receiving end of her slapping spree. I was shocked with her behavior, caused by intoxication that brought to her perhaps the worst mishap in her life and career. Very unbecoming for someone perceived to be kind, well-mannered, sweet, and sophisticated.

Views About Death.....

 

September 12, 1973 - November 30, 2013

The untimely and tragic demise of Hollywood actor Paul Walker at a very young age of forty has prompted me to write something about this appalling phenomenon we call death. Of all the things that can happen to us, death is the most feared of all – whether it is our own death or that of another person. Death is as common as the sun rising every morning, or leaves falling from trees. But admit it or not, we have not yet accustomed ourselves to it. When will we be used to it and comfortable with it? When we are already six feet under the ground I suppose.
