Super Why, MSN and the Little Dynamo

As expected, hospital television channels were all just in Korean. My Little Dynamo would say, “But Mommy, it’s in Korean“. He always wanted to go home to his own TV:-). When he can’t really take any Korean children’s show anymore, I just had to share my laptop with him. Much as his Daddy wanted to [...]

Holding and watching your infant undergoing medical tests in pain… he can only cry because he doesn’t have the ability to speak out yet?  ∞ Holding and listening to your toddler crying out… ”Mommy, tell them to stop hurting me“? ∞ Seconds after injection of anesthesia… your toddler suddenly slumps helplessly in your arms?

I know that he has not fought in New York City’s Madison Square Garden yet, although his lesser known brother, Bobby Pacquiao had fought there already. Why do I like [...]

A Korina Country?

So, Mar Roxas gave in to the pressure. He is giving way to Noynoy Aquino, whose greatest qualification and claim for popularity is being the son of Former President Corazon Aquino and hero, Benigno Aquino. One of the greatest (for me) statesmen of Philippine politics, Doy Laurel, gave way to Corazon Aquino back in 1986 as she represented [...]

The Perfect Day – Tuesdays with Morrie

I know. I know. I hate to admit it but there’s no denying, I just finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie. I’m glad that I finally did. Among life’s greatest lessons, Professor Morrie Schwartz’s idea of a last day is what caught me most. Mitch Albom, the author, asked him “What if you had one day perfectly [...]
