June is such a drag.Iloilo became a raging sea. My cousin's family had to be rescued from their rooftop! They had a second floor but the water reached the second floor. They had to sail to safety on board an upturned table, dragging themselves away via rope.My friend's family had to hightail it to their second floor, and their house has never been flooded before. Now they are cleaning it out but

realizing the weirdness of my hours, and the possible dire consequences of such on potential morning appointments, i have lately been engaged in attempts to "normalize" my rhythms. so i say goodnight to those within goodnightie radius at half twelve or one, climb onto my bed, turn off the lights save for my reading lamp, read my amy tan (the opposite of fate) and wait for oblivion to steal me

so here i am, infirm and shmelly, and struggling to write an article past the deadline. my version of events is that i inhaled true friends' smoke the other day, hence, am sick. nevermind that i asked them to come to the true friends' meet-up! hehehe. of course i'm completely to blame. while my bones languish in low-intensity fever, and my lungs throw up phlegm in exasperation at my shenanigans,

my astro dot com said this is the time period for me to know that i am really alone.that relationships are fleeting, and that people come and go, and that essentially, I, am alone. that no one will really know how it feels to be me. just me.strangely enough, this is true. one gf and i used to keep each other company on late nights online. she said it to me repeatedly, "it's nice to know that

i think the hardest thing us women need to do, and therefore the thing that we need to do the most, is really not to settle. not to settle for anything less than what we really truly want with all of us: our hearts, our bodies, our souls. IT. IS. SO. HARD.it's so hard because we don't know that we truly will get what we want. there are no guarantees. there's no one to complain to if nothing

mga cute na nangyari sa buhay in the last few days:1. sobra akong naging busy. as in 5 am na ako natutulog. (pasensiya na sa mga sanay magpuyat at mga laging busy. nahalata na hindi ako yon. pero sleepyhead kasi ako eh. nakadikit ako sa kama ko lagi at saktong 7-8 hours ang natural sleeping pattern ko).2. sobra kong kinareer yong mga susulatin ko na pati ako nasuka na sa sarili ko.

last month, we were invited to the fiftieth birthday of one of our fave feminists. it turned out to be such a treat -- fun with her fab family, the food was yummy, and the party teemed with funny feminists. warm and endearing like the celebrated celebrant. plus wine, music and dancing. last night, we dropped in on "Philippine theater's finest" (hehehe), the UP Playwrights Basilia production. when

Gray/Brown ... means you're suppressing your sensuality, which restricts your ability to be giving. You long to surrender to someone, but you feel that this impulse is weak and must be overcome. You long to achieve a higher status and the esteem of allies who share your high standards, but instead you feel isolated. You need recognition and attention from others. Among other test-takers, 7.83%

spent many minutes of my massage hour in tears last night. my dear juliet must have wondered about the persistent moisture as she kneaded my face in the half-dark. but you know how it is, once you're on track for contemplating the many sorrows of you and your loved ones, there's just no stopping. so i contemplated the many sorrows of me and my loved ones with much amusement, in the half-dark of

Love is... great but it's awful, it's healing but it hurts, hard work yet so easy, it happens or it doesn't, blinds you but opens your eyes... it is beyond anyone's control so let it be.

i never work on Saturday evenings because by that time i've really have had quite enough of anything that can be called work, and all i have time for by then is a little play.so no matter if i still have a paper or two or three that needs doing, i lay off it on Saturday nights because by then i've had an afternoon of facilitating a group therapy session; days and days of work for classes and

apparently, 2007 is the year of the viola. Cool Season Blooming Beauties for the Flower GardenThe National Gardening Bureau picked violas as their flower of the year for 2007. Violas and pansies are such relied upon stalwarts that many gardeners take them for granted and think they know everything there is to know about them. True, violas are easy care plants. But in the gardening world,

a few weeks ago when we met up, she was brimming over with stories. over full, she flowed over. and i sat beside her, and listened.and at the end of it, there had been no time for me. and i felt a little deflated like no connection had been made. the energies hadn't been exchanged. i missed her being in the know about me. but along with love, and acceptance, faith exists in friendship. today, she

perhaps psychotherapy is about creating spaces for that which is hidden/ repressed, and that which is yet to be. and saying, ok. recognizing and allowing. there is no good no bad, just flow.*ruminating about a client: perhaps if you allowed yourself to need them (though they could hurt you, and they have), then they would feel needed, and could let go a little. such was the divide that you got
