I went to church yesterday with my husband. We do this at least once or twice every few months, to give our donations. I am the atheist, but my husband remains a WASP, but really, he is the one who gets bored with the church rituals and singing, and gets annoyed with soprano voice and […]

I am finally relieved : I am now picky
A little patience goes a long, long way. It was good that I did not drop the ball suddenly. Planning is everything, a means to provide better things. I am finally relieved as a chairperson, being Emeritus would be so much FUN. I can do whatever I can to help, promote and propagate, […]
Read MoreLucky to be retired early
I retired in October, 2015. Such a lovely job with 6-figure income. But, I am not greedy, I have too much already. What will you do if you have too much already? RETIRE. No more waking up early, No more appointments to go to, No more treks to Manhattan via subway, No more dizziness […]
Read More2017 – New Year’s Resolution
2016, was lovely despite some assholes stalking me, and some snakes and termites creating issues, seeking for my attention. My covert fans trying to imitate me, but miserably failed for the last 3 years or so. Sorry, once tested and proven, you will be left in oblivion forever. I need more patience in 2017. […]

Read MoreA HAPI book: From Superstition to Reason: A journey towards HUMANISM
A book that depicts stories of how we became atheists or humanists is finally at the printing press. It was a very long journey for me, imagining this book as the only secular book in the Philippines made for Filipinos and printed in my own country of natal day since 2011. It started as […]
Read MoreTen lepers healed, only One came back to say “thank you”
Gratitude is the mother of success. But, alas, very few people know how to thank those who made the early movements of atheism and humanism possible. I say, remember the ten lepers? that is all the same, nine will leave and forget you, while only one will remember to thank you. No expectation is […]
Read MoreMy graceful exit : Love Conquers all
I have been planning for my graceful exit from my second society since September, 2016. It is time for me to pass the torch of successful activism and advocacy about humanism to the present core. It is the perfect time to leave, since I have the perfect leaders who are as ebullient as […]
Read MoreSomething in November
What’s with November? I am too successful to listen to people’s advice and nonsense. Strong women cry too, to release tears of frustration. Life is not a bed of roses. We learn from past experiences. But what’s with November? November, 2010 – I started my advocacy for secularism and irreligion. I created awareness […]
