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 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 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....
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS Alex Eduque It is hard to believe that we are entering the last week of the first month of the year. In as much as the holidaze caused frenzy and pandemonium, this month seems to have once again flown us by. For many, this first month of the year was a most stressful one...
IT’S THE SMALL THINGS A week into the new year, and just when we all thought we had the hang of things, omicron has seemingly taken us on a wave of surprise. Numbers are doubling (even tripling) overnight, and despite the fact that we have been living in a pandemic for two years, we still find...
IT’S THE SMALL THINGS Alex Eduque I write this on the eve of Christmas eve. As I think about and ponder over what sparks Christmas in my life, I realized that it ended up filtering down to my senses. The sights and sounds of Christmas; the tastes and smells of the holidays, and of course, more...
