The book says: To find out what your principles are, envision your own funeral. Imagine that as your casket is being lowered down into the ground, your family and […]
What’s Your Status?
When my OFW friend’s friend found out that she was single, she warned her to steer clear of OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) guys here as a lot of them hit on girls here despite the fact that they’re married back home… which they keep hidden, of course.

Rookie Mistake
Thanks to the internet, it has become so much harder to keep secrets and so much easier to be prone to public humiliation.
