The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle : In-depth Review
Let me start with a confession: I used to be one of those people who lived perpetually in my head. You know the type – constantly replaying yesterday's conversations, worrying about tomorrow's meetings, and somehow managing to miss the actual life happening right in front of me. That was until I stumbled upon this transformative masterpiece that completely shifted my perspective on what it means to truly live.

The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett : In-depth Review
The Vanishing Half: In-Depth Review A Mesmerizing Tale of Identity, Family, and the Price of Reinvention There are books that entertain you, books that inform you, and then there are books that fundamentally shift something inside you. This masterpiece falls squarely into that third category, leaving me sitting in stunned silence long after I'd turned the final page, grappling with questions about identity, belonging, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.

William Martin, Marratide: Selected Poems
“I draw a snake upon your back ...” It’s one of many lines derived from children’s games that lives on in William Martin’s poetry. Yet it also leapt of the page when I read it in Anna Marra Missa, one of the verses included in Marratide, a newly-published anthology to mark Martin’s centenary year.

Book Review: The Last Lecture
Book Review of “The Last Lecture” Book by Jeffrey Zaslow and Randy Pausch I loved and hated this book at the same time. This book is about Professor Randy Pausch and his life-ending journey with pancreatic cancer. The book was published posthumously with Jeffrey Zaslow providing the finishing touches and ending to the book after Pausch passed. I love this book because it is an honest and intimate perspective from someone dealing with the challenge of cancer. Pausch explains in detail his emotions, thoughts, and actions as he goes through diagnosis, symptoms, treatments, and physical deterioration.

Using Books to Teach Filipino Values
When I handed my son a picture book about a girl helping her grandmother carry a basket of vegetables to the palengke, I didn’t expect it to spark a 20-minute conversation about utang na loob. But there we were—curled up on the couch, him clutching the book, asking why the little girl insisted on helping even when she wanted to play instead.

The Black Rose
On the night of the new moon, when shadows cling thickest to the earth, King Louis takes his pleasure with the newly flowered maidens—those on the trembling cusp of womanhood. He binds them, naked and shuddering, to the gnarled trees of the deep forest, where no living thing stirs but the whispering wind. Then, with cruel precision, he looses his venom-tipped arrows, one by one, until their breath stills and their blood spills upon the roots of the dead earth.
