Life Is My Inspiration
This section contains a compilation of my writings, as a
child and onwards to my present age.
THE EPITOME OF LOVE
Is it in the way you look at me that makes me fall for you,
the gentle way your eyes caress,
the twinkle that besets the darkness of your stare,
the happy glow your face takes on when I reach your sight?
Is it in the way your fingers lock with mine
that sends shivers through my soul,
the assuring touch that holds me close,
and wipes away the tears that fall?
Is it in the way we join that spreads fire,
the passion invoked with longing and need?
The epitome of love becomes pronounced in a single breathless
moment,
when our persons bend and twine together,
the breaking point reached and we can only cry,
but in the end we only laugh,
when I would much rather go one way and you the other,
but then we stop and choose the corresponding path,
when I would choose to fly and you to run,
and we reach a horizon where the earth meets the sky.
The epitome of love that builds upon layer and layer
of trust, hope, faith and dreams;
the blood that oozes out of every wound,
and climaxes in a spectral threshold of living
and dying in the confines of your love.

once in a while, you may happen to chance upon a movie with a storyline that could
be very well be your own. You end up submerged in the movie because of the portrayed
emotions that mirror your own.
Romantic movies can help you find that hidden spot in your heart that's always
believed in true love. You reconnect with that part of you that's vulnerable in
every sense of the word to all the hurt and pain and joy that you can only come
to know by completely and selflessly opening yourself up.+

Attack on America Hits Close to Home: Our Family's Personal
Plight on September 11, 2001
A
day to remember in American history. The phone rang at 6:00 am California time,
and I was overcome with grogginess as I hurriedly reached for the telephone next
to me before it rang a third time. Lyle, my one year old son was soundly asleep
next to me, and I didn't want to wake him up. "Hello?" I greeted sleepily. A coworker
was waking me up to tell me that a plane had crashed into New York City's World
Trade Center, and "the buildings were blowing up". +

• What is Cornbip?
The Philippine word for the processed good, Corned Beef.
• Does Corned Beef Really Have Corn?
Corning is a form of curing; it has nothing to do with corn. The name comes
from Anglo-Saxon times before refrigeration. In those days, the meat was
dry-cured in coarse "corns" of salt. Pellets of salt, some the
size of kernels of corn, were rubbed into the beef to keep it from spoiling
and to preserve it.
• Why Cornbip?
Cornbip is a common item found in many household pantries. It's a relatively
inexpensive, quick meal to serve and can be cooked in several ways that
can satisfy anyone's hunger.
Although this site doesn't really have anything to do with food nor cooking,
I have chosen this domain name because its contents are best served to
an audience with an unfussy appetite for an eclectic mix of photos and
