Until when will her critics try to oust her? Until she voluntarily steps down? Or until there is a reason, how absurd and trivial it may be, to impeach her?

The next question is: Is there anyone who can?

For the many complaints, for the numerous scams, for the countless controversies she and her stalwarts have embattled, has there any reason or case considered more magnanimous, Read the rest of this entry »

You are my joys…You are my hopes…You are my strengths.

No one can ever come close. To you I give everything I own.

To you I share my all.

You both are the loves of my life…You two are the lights of my paths.

My Gia…My Geline, you two are my precious!

My heart and my soul love and live because I have YOU!

My heart bleeds…

I am a paradox! I am shallow yet deep…tamed yet tough…proud yet humble… harsh yet kind…noble yet stupid…betrayed yet remained trusting…joyous yet grieving…hurt yet unharmed…defeated yet triumphant…dying yet living…i am an epitome of all the ironies of life: all painful yet everything is an emblem of its real pulchritude.
