Les Miserables Has Been Part of My Life

I was on a break from work and ended up looking at some Lea Salonga videos on YouTube.

Les Miserables has always been one of my favorites. From my dad's fully memorized bedtime story (about early to late 80s),

Once You Cheat, There's No Turning Back

It was considered cheating.  I was caught flirting with other people through text messaging, while in front of my loved one.  So be it.  I was given another chance...

How Christianity Separated My Family

     Many people claimed to have benefited when Christianity was introduced to their town/country/family.  That was about a long time ago.  Not many of them talk about what disadvantages they got out of it.  Not in my own experience, but my ancestry, have one example of a disadvantage... when they were given christian names.

The Last Of Your Last Name

     Recently, I attended our first clan reunion.  It's supposed to be a gathering of all my relatives from my father's side.  Some showed up, some didn't.  But one of the main purpose of this gathering is to know the huge family tree.  Our ancestry, our lineage, our legacy, whatever you call it. When I got back home, there was one thing that shocked me.  My dad and his brothers are the last ones to carry the name "Man-a".

Filipinos, you're proud of that?

Korea = leading in Robots
Philippines = leading in Social Media Use

Who Could Come Up With Such Stories?

So let me get this straight...

     A man sleeps on the top bunker and had some "nocturnal emissions".  His semen fell on the woman sleeping on the bottom bunker.  How it got there, I don't know.  How it got the woman pregnant, I can't tell more.  But she did!

When Friends Turn Homophobic

     It's not that I keep my preference from anyone.  Just that I don't talk much about it because I don't want to make a big deal out of it.  However, I get transparent sometimes.  A little hint here and there.  I often do so online because words are the only means of showing who I am.  Should someone meet me in person, he/she would be able to tell just after a couple of minutes.  I don't really need disclosure.  Well, most of the times.
