Blogging gives you voice

I chanced upon an inspiring video featuring Glenda Watson Hyatt, and how blogging overcame her condition (cerebral palsy) to vent her opinion, musings, and feelings to the world. Truly, blogging can do miracles.

Bye Lola Vi!!!

She was the one who would always catch us red-handed whenever we would sneak in to Renan’s fridge to score some leftover food or booze during drinking sprees in their pad deep into the night. With one smile and a jolly greeting of “gandang umaga po, Lola Vi, si Romark po ito”, she would nod [...]
