Just scribbling my tears away today.

Nothing is more painful than burying your own child. I am scribbling my tears away. On Mother’s Day, my heart bleeds again and reawakens the pain of losing my daughter in my arms. Nov. 17, 2019…it’s almost five years, nak, we fought hard the evil cancer until the end. And my pain lingers on th...

Happy Monday, dear readers. What a show it was, , the new era of Philippine fashion!

The journey from Manila to Manhattan (a brand movement they created) by fashion designers Bessie Besana, Wilson Niñofranco Limon, Veejay Floresca, and Michael Leyva was long and challenging. But these young and flourishing couturiers wowed their audience and were received with an approving applause

This episode of Conversations with MM with Cristina Dc Pastor and Rosales is one of best and substantial convos in 2022. The public health concern on women's reproductive health and rights still is relevant to this date. With the overturn of Roe v Wade, the lives of women are imperiled by the decision of the SC which was grossly unjust and criminal.
Main message: Cannot fix what ain't broke for the sake of politics. Roe v Wade was part of the broad spectrum of reproductive health programs and rights of women. You cannot politicize it.
Red flag: The Supreme Court, all political appointees, can actually reverse gains of civil rights movement that nourished democracy in the US. So be warned and be vigilant.
