Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
— St Francis of Assisi

In a country where the devil wears condoms and the morning-after pill Postinor is illegal, I was surprised to find that the book, Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris, is on sale at National Book Store.

Pro-atheist?

Letter to a Christian Nation is considered to be pro-atheism. The author uses a simple argument to help Christians understand what atheism is…  Continue reading

The stunning images of the Burmese peoples’ popular uprising flowing to the rest of the world through the internet (before the military regime started blocking information) brings to mind the passages of a book I read earlier this month.

When I started reading Seeing, I commented that Jose Saramago’s plot, where disillusioned voters from the fictional nation’s capital voted but left the ballots blank, is not applicable in the Philippines. Blank ballot results would only make electoral fraud operators Comelec and their traditional politician principals very happy.

The book, however, does not only attack the the traditional politicians and parties role in degrading the state institution’s credibility and fomenting disillusionment among the greater populace. In 300 witty pages, Saramago described, like the recent events in Myanmar have clearly shown us, how the State reacts when threatened by the people.

I said goodbye to Makati several weeks ago and transferred to a nice place in Mandaluyong. Now I live in a three-bedroom-three-floor house. Coolness. Problem is if Makati to Pasay is far, then Mandaluyong to Pasay is farther. Right?

This was the first thing that I considered before abandoning my Makati Avenue Condo. Fortunately, I found a great and cheap solution: MRT. When I was in Makati this was not an option that I considered because I had to walk a kilometer to Buendia before I can ride a jeepney to the MRT. That’s simply too much effort for me.

Better in Mandaluyong though. A minute’s walk away from my house and I can ride a jeepney to the MRT. It IS farther, but definitely more convenient. Also, it’s nearer to the Mega Mall, and Galleria. This is a plus for me because there is a Krispy Kreme in the Mega Mall. Read more here.

All the while the ZTE NBN deal was being threshed out in the Senate like it should be, Gloria Arroyo been attempting to pass herself off at the United Nations General Assembly as a topnotcher in three fields where her administration failed miserably: the economy, peace process, and the environment. According to Arroyo, her administration is making headway towards making the Philippines a healthy shade of green.

Environmental activists in this part of the planet don’t exactly approve of this color scheme. According to Kalikasan PNE, if there’s any color that Arroyo is turning the Philippines into, it’s red: an ugly, bloody and messy red. Scarlet soiled with bloodshed. Red of revolts. Glowing red of a volcano before the big bang.

For some time, during my summer vacations in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija, I enjoyed eating hopia. I would usually buy them from my aunt’s sari-sari store at P3.00 per pack. Those were the small hopia with red beans as filling. A summer day won’t be complete without a trip to the store to get a pack or two of hopiang munggo and a bottle of ice-cold POP cola. I would sometimes get the hopiang baboy, only if the red bean favorite is not available.

Whenever I’d drop by their store, my cousins, with an ever-annoying grin, would still tease me, “Hey! We know what you’re going to buy… hopia and POP cola! Correct?!” Like before, I would go back to our house, with no more appetite for lunch or dinner, as I just had my hopia fix.

But that was a few years ago. I’m now an OFW here in Singapore. It was only recently that I came to know about similar delicacies from neighboring Malaysia, Penang’s tau sar peah and Ipoh’s heong peah (Is it why we Filipinos call it hopia?). It was only here that I have seen hopia in an utterly different presentation, somewhat more sophisticated and with a slightly different name. They call it mooncake. It’s still hopia for me.

I was asked by a colleague a question I myself was asking years ago. What do you do to make sure that your relationship lasts?

I am not really sure why he asked me of all people but I guess he knew I went through all kinds of relationships, experiences, and have had my share of being with different men (should I take that as a compliment?). I panicked actually. There I was in front of an expectant person, looking at me with trusting eyes, hoping I could somehow tell him that the world was the way he wanted it to be. I was torn between giving him hope and crushing his world with the truth that was called real life. I decided to be kind.
