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 hated hearing "no" and "not now." To me, "no" and "not now" only meant the same thing -- it meant "never". Continue reading →
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 is nothing but my contribution to the many "foolish" entries written on April Fools' Day.

There are no words for this post. The song says it all for me. Every line is my life spelled-out.
I thank you for the inspiration while I sit here in anticipation of the year ahead... While I wait eagerly for my real life to begin. If only you can be there with me when it happens...
"Let me throw one more dice.
I know that I can win.
I'm waiting for my real life to begin."
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 knew these hands of mine, caring as they are, will never touch someone else's blood. Not because I dread it, but because fate would have it that way. Continue reading →
Let's lighten things up a bit and veer away from the chaos and torment that is Philippine politics.
My dear friends, I share with you my favorite Rod Stewart cover ever.
Originally done by Van Morrison and perfectly rendered by Rod Stewart (him and his oh-so-expressive voice that drives me crazy), "Crazy Love" is an ode to a lover you would want to come home to everyday, do nothing with and yet feel as if there is no place in the world you'd rather be in...and there's no other person you'd rather be with.
A toast to that dream in all of us, to find that someone that will give us "Crazy Love" like no other can. I have found mine. I hope and wish you have found yours too. And if you haven't already, cheer up! There's always somebody for someone and good things come to those who wait. Continue reading →
Many people wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
When I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
The flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
The joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Men themselves have wondered
what they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Now you understand
just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palms of my hands,
the need for my care.
Because I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's my mother and all your mothers
And my grandmothers and your grandmothers
And my great grandmothers and your greats
And my great greats
And yours
And all you women
And Me!
