Two weeks ago my cousin got married. Marriage for us is always a family affair. Anyway, the whole “MACEREN” clan went to the wedding. Every time somebody in the clan gets married, the great patriarchs are always entitled to a “no-time-limit” speech. So my grandfather, the great Atty. Silvino Maceren Jr. gave his famous speech, which I heard for more than a dozen times already. He also gave this speech in my wedding. The speech has already sunk so deep into my mind that I am thinking about writing a book about it. According to him, the secret to their more than 50 years of marriage with my Lola Patricia is SALT. He usually begins with this story: There was an old king who one day asked his three daughters one by one if they loved him. The first daughter replied that he loved his father as much as she loves all the gold in the kingdom. The king was so happy to hear how much he was loved by his first daughter. The second daughter said that he loved her father as much she loves all … [Read more...]

New Year goals
Happy new year to all!!! I hope none of us has severed a finger or had gun powder burns due to playing with fire crackers to celebrate the New Year. (I advice you to just sit beside an instead) Today is the first day of the year. We always welcome the New Year with a celebration. Societies and cultures that measure yearly calendars all have New Year celebrations. For who wouldn’t celebrate the arrival of a new year? I really do not believe in coming up with a yearly New Year resolution. It’s just not my thing. But I do have New Year goals. Goals make life a little more interesting. The excitement of any sport is because of a goal. For what kind of sports would that be if there is no net, hole, goal or obstacle to hurdle or conquer? (Speaking of sports, if you are planning to give a gift to me, consider giving gifts to me this year so I will loose weight hehehehe) The timing of a New Year just makes coming up with a goal perfect. For me, the New Year is the best time of the year … [Read more...]

About 111 years ago in the grounds of Luneta Manila, Spanish authorities shot a man. A man who was about to change the course of Philippine history, a man we know today as Jose Rizal. Tomorrow we are once again commemorating the death anniversary of this great man. What was Jose Rizal’s greatest legacy? Why was he chosen to become our national hero ? For most people they believe that Jose Rizal was rightly chosen to become a national hero because he influenced most of our revolutionary leaders through his writings and example although other people believe that he should only be declared a hero not “The national hero.” Most people believed that Rizal’s greatest legacy is his love for his country as embodied in his writings and the actions that he took. I remember taking up a “Rizal” course in college, which was a requirement in order … [Read more...]
