You’re Ok
Among the most insightful learning I got from my private reading is from the 'Four Life Positions.' This is an idiot-proof, straightforward approach on relationships. While some psychology manuals need a college degree or even a master to interpret and apply, this one does not. It's down to earth, practical and very much consistent.
I Wish I Could Have Written This
Here is one of the stories I really like that I wish I could have written it myself…
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box. There are five things you need to know, he told the pencil, before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.
What Does ‘Being Your Self’ Really Mean?
When the lazy anti-social Survivor Series outcast was asked for her reaction to the decision of the tribe, her answer was: 'So what? That's the way I am.
I am not 'plastic'.
I am just being MY SELF."
The Next Level
Last time we talked about 'true friendship.' we also described it as non-sexual, agape, non-erotic. Ideally, when this kind of relationship grows, in the case of a male and a female, they become lovers: Eros.
True Friends
True Friends are priceless. So what does true friendship really mean? How can we consider a person a true friend?
A true friend is the person who’d make you proud of yourself because you did the right thing, but is also the first person who'd dare confront you when you're wrong.

Black Widows
Black Widows are spiders that kill their mates during or right after a glorious sperm deposit. I haven't seen one yet, and not wanting to; they're highly venomous. But I've seen people who lived their lives like Black Widows do.
Heaven’s Warrior
Movies like Nightmare on Elm Street and The Exorcist have given us a grim yet entertaining face of the devil.
BUT, ‘are demons real?’ The answer is 'YES. Are there proof of their existence aside from the Bible and other religious experiences?
Life Is Not Like a Billiard
One of the most dangerous philosophies we could fall into is determinism. For determinists, our behavior, action and decision are just the result of the previous events. When Mila slapped Lane, she reasoned out that it was only because Lane previously flirted with her boyfriend.
Rico and Nicole were getting married because they had 'no choice': she was already pregnant .
Love Is not Blind
Before Facebook, there were these famous slam books going around. And one of the questions you needed to answer was: "What is love?" Most answers I saw were: "Love is blind." Is love really blind?
Divine Shower
Do you know that King James did not take a shower? Well, there were several interpolations why he did not. Until now, there are people who take a bath only once a week, or once a month, or just before marriage. This is very much influenced by the culture rather than the time we're in. Filipinos, for example, would take a shower once to thrice a day.
