Read MoreMy Silver Wedding Anniversary
More than 25 years ago, I met a man, as handsome and generous as can be. A real gentleman, a WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant). A teacher in profession with a Post-Master’s degree in education. What else can I ask for. I married for love, I got more. Love has no religion. I tell you, […]
Read MoreKnowledge with money
I used to believe that knowledge is powerful, until I created a nonreligious society. It needed cash infusion for events, gatherings and convention. I founded PATAS in 2011. The convention costed me a fortune. But, alas the new leaders cannot even recognize me as the founder. They cannot even send a miniscule of gratitude that […]
Read MoreHAPI Founder Message and More
“I want to see the sunset of religion” – Ms M Greetings from NYC, USA! The advent of social media made me conquer barriers in communication, especially on Facebook. While in NY, which is over 8,000 miles total straight line flight distance away, I was able to create a society that can eventually change the […]
Read MoreRetirement and Fulfillment
I retired 5 years ago, because I had enough of the BS at my job. Their philosophy kept clashing with mine.. They were too unethical, putting profits first, before patients. I do not even miss my six figure income, and bonuses. I do not miss wearing my signature suits, bags and shoes, in fact, I […]

That some people could be really wrong and strong. Since 2013, HAPI has been successful, with peak s and valleys galore. But, […]

Read MoreSomething good out of the pandemic
One day, I thought, what to do when I cannot travel in pandemic? Something good needs to come out of this season. AH, what about an application for a DC.. Did not think of that for the past > 20 years. Ok, gotcha. Did it in October, Lo and behold.. a DC in Nov. […]
Read MoreToxic Filipino Culture
I have been giving a lot, since I came to the USA since 1990. Bottom line.. I give, whenever I can. And true enough, when I cannot give anymore, I was humiliated and badmouthed, as if they had money with me. The self-entitlement is glaring, and such a common denominator in the pinoy culture. I […]
