I am writing you all today because I want to share with you a personal decision. I have decided to respond to a call. It is a call that has followed me now for some time. It is a call that I know we all share, but which we may all respond to in the different ways that are unique to each one of us. This decision to respond to a call is connected with the present condition of this country and its...

And so I ended my personal war without any sense of victory but weighed down by the tears that could not flow.
My hope was that I could heal the scars of my spirit, more galling than those of my body.
My right abdominal muscles were cut through never to grow back and my left knee was mangled.
But the injury of my soul was deeper and despairing.

Tumblr is beginning to look and inherently feel like times when, say, it’s almost an important holiday and you’ve forgotten to do laundry so you must head to the nearest and always dreadful mall to pick up some underwear and socks.

Lessons from Life
kari-shma:
Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio [via: Amazing Posts]

Pay off your credit cards every month.

Here in the Philippines, our economic and political problems are much more severe. There are the huge problems of poverty, education, political corruption, crime, rebellion and so forth. If a superhero existed, for him to don a colorful costume and deal with evil geniuses out to drain Manila bay of water, or fight with an evil creature with snakes for hair, is patently ridiculous.

Most Filipinos fail to see the wonder in Philippine culture because of our failure to see it from within. We look outside and finding that it has nothing like we see in our neighboring Asian countries, we wail and declare we have nothing close to something distinctly Filipino. But Filipino culture has always been welcoming and embracing. The very idea of a Filipino culture is grounded on its...
