Ginintuang Payo ng mga Magulang
Hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan ang mga mumunti ngunit Ginintuang butil ng payo na nakuha ko sa aking mga magulang: Si Inay, tinuruan niya ako HOW TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE — “Kung kayong dalawa ay magpapatayan, doon kayo sa labas!

Freewill vs. Destiny
You may have heard others say: “God has a plan for each of us”; “You must fulfill your destiny”; “He is destined to be great”; “I am willing to go through this, if this is God’s plan for me”; or “I need a sign that this is God’s plan for me”. In short, there seems …

On fatherhood and dragonflies
