Don&#8217;t hate them. 4.    Don&#8217;t talk when your heart is full. Same logic applies here: either you choke or you&#8217;ll start spitting out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some people, a quick summer getaway means driving towards the coast and soaking up the hot summer sun by the beach. But for my husband and me, because we already live by the beach, we decided to drive inland for a weekend getaway in a farm. Farm &#8220;staycation,&#8221; as most people put it, is [...]]]></description>

Your mind is already made up and I am afraid things would be different from here. We could have been “us.” We could have enjoyed a beautiful starry night together while talking about [...]]]></description>

Is there such a thing as a perfect year? A perfect day already [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have I done something in 2012 that would make me feel proud today? Or, someday? In its first quarter, cocooning myself against change has become a conscious habit. I resisted change. Is it part of human nature to fear change? Or, was I just not very well prepared to my new life&#8217;s demands? How can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All I wanted for 2012 was a baby. But despite storming the heavens with prayers, day and night- the baby never came. Painful as it is to see repeated negative test results in a small pregnancy kit, I never let this loss and frustration define the whole of me. And not to mention, the whole [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find it hard to make a cohesive assessment of my 2012. At one point, I thought it was too fast and yet many times I prayed that it would end. My year was filled with so many memories that to say that 2012 is a memorable year is an understatement. Heartaches I experienced the [...]]]></description>

However, I did wake up that day convinced that the world as I know it has been changed. There’s nothing utterly obvious about it. In fact, the following morning it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hauntings don&#8217;t always have to be the bad kind. Sometimes, we learn to live with them. Other times, we turn them into lessons or good memories. They say that ghosts, the supernatural kind, are trapped in limbo, neither here nor there, caught between time and space. Our ghosts, the figurative kind, may just be the [...]]]></description>
