Typical Filipino: Stages of Marriage
To a Filipino couple who commit themselves to a relationship through marriage, indeed, the phrase "till death do us part" is kept for a lifetime. Note that, since the Philippines is a predominantly Christian nation, there is no premise that allows for a divorce to occur after marriage. Nowadays though, a couple who jumps into the bandwagon of marriage and later realizes that the union has no future due to "irreconcilable differences" has an option to file for annulment as an exit door to end the relationship. It should be noted however that this exercise of freeing oneself from the bonds of marriage is only for a few couples who have the money to spend for the litigations and the stamina to endure the long process.

Striking A Balance
Being a woman is no joke especially if you are a wife, a mother, a teacher, a cook, a 24-hour tech support gal, a masseuse, a driver and everything else to your family. Chances are you will be too busy taking care of other people that you end up forgetting about your own needs.
I am a bit of everything that I've mentioned above, and trust me, when you aren't careful, things could get out of hand. If you are "all work and no play" you end up losing yourself amid the nitty-gritty of things. Besides no woman can be an effective mother and wife if she isn't a happy woman unless of course she is a docile person--one who seems okay with being pushed around all the time.

Seducing My Curiosity for the Supernatural
A Story From the Old Days
I grew up hearing stories about witches, witchcraft, black magic, supernatural spells and more. But this one story somehow is clearly etched in my memory. It’s the story about my father’s grandfather who displayed some kind of a supernatural ability.
According to my father, his grandfather stood a little over four feet, and yet according to him, he’s capable of pulling with one arm, to the shore a boat that can only be moved by ten men. It’s really fascinating how things like that could be possible.
