My friends, I'm utterly enjoying this state, this consciousness, right now. Wish it were forever. But what is a glimpse but simply that - a short view, a glance, a peek! Who knows how long it will last! That's why I'm capturing the moment, catching sight of the Almighty... the Absolute... the Almighty Absolute... the Absolute Almighty.  ... And sharing with you.  Meanwhile,

Wow! I don't think I want to post anything else after these magical words by Rumi. It is the ultimate wisdom for me... Don't get me wrong. When I say 'ultimate', I don't mean the end. On the contrary, it's a new beginning, a new chapter, in my life. And it's a beautiful, beautiful experience, I just want to remain in deep silence at the moment...

I'm catching up with the girls! I made it to Dodit's birthday lunch with Dulce, Zita, and Jeanette who is visiting from MNL. I tell you, we'll make up any excuse, anything, to see one another. Girls really wanna have fun!

It's been a while since I last visited my blog and here's changing my template again. It really depends on my mood at the moment. Last July, I had a summer look; now it's fall, so a change in color. But I've had this template before. Yes, it's a shade of brown which is one of the many colors of autumn, but it's not really autumn. It's more than that. The background is blank and plain until I

Was I in a Like and Share mood today on FB - that's all I did - Like Share, Like Share, Like Share… the most I’ve ever done in a day!Waste of time? I don’t know, but I, sure, was enjoying…So many beautiful photos and inspiring words being shared on FB today! Wonder why. What day is it today, anything special?

Perhaps, those dolphins just wanted to "sunbathe" for the moment! Or breathe fresh air outside the ocean! Then, maybe, they should have been left alone. Or were they plainly lost? How'd that happen? We, humans, generally don't know why some dolphins, like whales, land on beaches. The people who were there (story below) clearly meant well to help. Hope the dolphins understood our good

My high school classmates and I, ever since we re-discovered one another "eons" ago, or a very long time ago, rather, not a long time ago,... well, not really that long,... (excuses, excuses!!) for our Silver Jubilee, (Oh, gosh!... EONS ago!), have been meeting quite regularly, starting more or less quarterly, and now, more every other month, plus in between, like on occasions -

I was on my way to Starbucks for a chocolate chip cookie which recently, I've been craving for, when I came across the neighborhood's newspaper with the headlines, Sweet!, and guess what it's all about - Chocolate Chip Cookies!! With my recent bout with respiratory allergies, somehow, I loss my appetite. But now that I have recovered, hopefully, there's nothing I want more than

I knew the London Olympics wasn't over yet! Who said I had the Olympics withdrawal syndrome? Look at the pictures below.

Friday night London saw an exhilarating sight. Residents and visitors alike were treated to a never-before-seen sight. A rising full moon as the sixth ring of the Olympic logo that hangs from Tower Bridge. A wonderful spectacle.

Who's playing next? What event is on? What time is... It's over?? The OLYMPICS is over?? OMG! Am I going through post-Olympics depression? What a great Summer Olympics that was in London, oh, London! The royal town - class, rich in history, culture, formidable, timeless, immortal!! The Olympics is over?! I've just said London is an immortal city! London is, but the Olympics is over. I wish I

Words of wisdom that are ever so inspiring, uplifting, motivating, from the OLYMPICS! From athletes, coaches, their families, friends - Hard work. Persistence. Determination. Perseverance. Passion. Fire.  Sure, we hear them all the time, but these are timeless values that uplift our winning spirit, inspire us to keep going, and motivate us to achieve our goals and fulfill our dreams! And

Is Michael Phelps the greatest Olympian of all?  "He's the most successful but not the greatest," a british newscaster said.  "Is Michael Phelps comparable to Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods?" another question from the Olympic news. Jordan and Woods are two of the world's Sports GREATS! If Phelps had stopped in Beijing, or if he had set his same old fire,

It's the sports fanatic in me, you know! I'm in the OLYMPICS' mode right now. From the time I wake up in the morning to the wee hours of the next day's morning, my TV is on unless I'm out. I've eventually stopped looking at the clock after midnight. I must concede, though, that I usually watch and listen to the results on the news prior to watching the NBC Primetime Coverage at night, (
