Have a Little Faith

RJ Marmol — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:55:54 +0000

“An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?" — Rene Descartes Photo by nilexuk I can almost swear "someone" is cursing the upcoming presidential elections in May 2010. It's as if "someone" is killing all chances of emergent hope -- "someone" is [...]

Gone too soon

Apprehensively Yours

RJ Marmol — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 09:30:04 +0000

Hmmm. I think we can both agree -- yes, you and me -- that this blog has been out of the limelight for far too long (and by limelight, I don't mean the fabulous kind, blame it on my recent writing vacation, I used the word for lack of a better term). Anyway, for all those [...]

“Not now” Doesn’t Mean “Never”

A retrograde planet will always urge you to look back and fix things that have been left unfinished or unresolved. In that case, the universe is trying to help you by showing you the whole picture so that you can move on with your life. - Aries horoscope, March 2009 When I was a kid, I [...]

Turning 30, Turning Inward

RJ Marmol — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:53:50 +0000

I know it's April Fools' Day. And if only for that reason, I'm not supposed to write anything serious. Because on the contrary, I'm expected to write something really hilarious or utterly impossible to believe. One that will make anyone who read this entry shake his/her head in utter disbelief hoping that what I wrote [...]

Things (Always) Get Worse Before They Get Better

RJ Marmol — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:54:43 +0000

So I was told. And so I believed. Experience merely reinforced that belief. I'm not gonna be particular in terms of the underlying story. But I'd say you have to trust me on this. Career-wise, family-wise, health-wise, political-wise, and all the other "wise" there is -- that proverbial silver lining does lie behind those dark clouds. [...]

Let Me Tell You A Story (Pass The Hat, Please…)

RJ Marmol — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 16:46:08 +0000

Unlike many girls out there, I never really dreamed of becoming a beauty queen or a movie star. Maybe because I hardly had the makings of either or both. Unlike many kids out there, I never really dreamed of becoming a doctor or a nurse. Maybe because although I find it fascinating, intriguing and challenging, I [...]

Let’s Behave, Shall We?

RJ Marmol — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:37:16 +0000

Now, this is wrong. Very wrong. I'm not a Gloria fan myself but hey, I won't do such a thing. Not because I'm an elitist (how can I be an elitist when I don't even belong to the "elite" myself?) but because it is indecent, downright dirty and stupid. I mean, come on people! How [...]

Of Headaches and Aspirins

RJ Marmol — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:51:15 +0000

As a write this post, I am plagued by an annoying and hard to ignore headache. This started at around 2 this afternoon and hasn't stopped until now. And it's almost 11pm. Imagine nine painful hours of consistent and persistent headache. It has made me very unproductive in all the sense of the word (not [...]

Time to Awaken The Rizal in All Of Us

RJ Marmol — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:18:00 +0000

Tomorrow, June 19 we celebrate -- with much gratitude and adoration, Jose Rizal's birthday. For the uninformed few (okay, very very few, if there are actually any), Jose Protacio Rizal is the Philippine's National Hero. I guess there's no need to elaborate on that. I have the pleasure and honor of living (for almost 2 years [...]

The Philippines’ Biggest Problem

RJ Marmol — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 08:58:00 +0000

When asked about the Philippines' biggest problem, specially now that the Presidential elections is but two years away, I suppose one would answer education, governance, poverty, criminality and hordes of others. Not to downplay all the major problems we speak of today, i believe there's an underlying problem that's being overlooked right now -- and [...]
