The Punishment That Became A Blessing

I had barely been introduced when she looked at me and asked, almost matter-of-factly: “Sundalo ka pala? Ilan na ang napatay mo?” (So you’re a soldier? So, how many men have you killed?”) For a second, I didn’t know how to react. I didn’t know whether to laugh or to take it seriously and defend myself.

To Live, To Love, To Learn, To Leave a Legacy… and To Laugh Along The Way.

The tagline encapsulates the way I intend to live the rest of my life. It shows the continued aspiration to live a life well-lived, highlighting the key aspects that contribute to a meaningful and fulfilling existence, while adding laughter now to enjoy its essence. Each component – living, loving, learning, and leaving a legacy – plays a unique role in shaping my experiences and relationships that may impact the world around us. Adding laughter puts the joy and the fun – and the life! – in the journey.
