IT'S THE SMALL THINGS I write this on Palm Sunday which is actually the official start of Holy Week. This year, it also happens to fall two days after my first church wedding anniversary. And although admittedly (and embarrassingly) it actually slipped my mind until greetings from loved ones came...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS Holy week is upon us, and so is election fever. Thirty days to go, and campaign period in full blast, people are most definitely hyped! With the excitement comes some frenzy, and unfortunately, toxicity as well. Exchanges – both pleasant and unpleasant – are...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS And just like that, it’s April. In a blink of an eye, the first quarter of the year has just passed us by. With the semblance of the old normal returning, days are definitely going by much quicker, and we are once again loading them up like we used to. Gone are the days of...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS I write this on the third week of women’s month, and on the 14th year since the passing of a woman who significantly shaped my life. I now realize more than ever how apt it is that a woman who had shaped so much of who I am today celebrates her birthday in heaven on the...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS I n continuing on with Women’s Month, I too am writing another piece themed around women. This time, closer to home – women, and how I view them, and their roles in the Philippines. To be quite honest, because I was raised in a very matriarchal family, I did not realize...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS March is women’s month. All biases aside, there must be a reason why a full month is devoted to celebrating women. After all, in a world that tends to be so busy, our strength, tenacity, resilience, care, compassion and nurturing among many other traits sometimes goes...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS Ash Wednesday this past week marked the start of the Lenten season for Catholics. For actively practicing ones, here begins the meatless Fridays, and an act of sacrifice to practice for 40 days. More often than not, we tend to define sacrifice as the act of giving up something...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS As love month came to an end, it did so with a bang – literally, and sadly, with Russia invading Ukraine this week. Though the tension has been building up in the past months, we have been hopeful that violence would not be resorted to. Even if this unfortunate situation is...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS The wonders of how much a two year (and counting) pandemic has changed not only the lives of many, but most especially the perspective with which a lot of us now choose to live, and see life through is astounding. Truly, among many other things, we have learned to appreciate...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS Alex Eduque I think timing is perfect that the third part of my series on what I look for in candidates, or what sways me to include someone on my list comes the weekend after the 90-day campaign period has officially kicked-off. People’s passionate energies are at an all...
IT’S THE SMALL THINGS Alex Eduque This is the second part of a three-part series which I started last week where I talk about what the qualities (often overlooked, sometimes shallow) I look for in candidates that could potentially sway me to vote for them, or include them in my list, as I pass...
 It's The Small Things As I was on my YouTube explore page this morning, all the suggested videos in channels (or accounts) I subscribe to, or regularly view all contained either interviews, or some sort of vlog with, or involving, a presidential, vice-presidential, or senatorial candidate....
