One True Love

By Little June on November 22, 2018 / 4,980 views

I was 14 when I had my first boyfriend. I had a crush on him first and he happened to know that at one point so we went to a carnival together during the town fiesta. He talked the whole night about anything and almost everything that he could think of. It was a quick action yet he asked me the second night if I could be his girl. At a young age, so innocent and not understanding what love really is, I was...

A Break In The Clouds

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 20, 2018 / 5,228 views

It had been cloudy, chilly, rainy and gray for three days. It was November. The colorful Autumn leaves had reached their peak and were now falling fast. The hillsides were dotted with the skinny skeletons of bare trees. I pulled my jacket tighter around me as I walked through the gusty winds and saw the leaves swirling to the ground. I tried to smile but couldn't. In spite of delightful intentions the...

Behind Our Setbacks

By Little June on November 19, 2018 / 4,023 views

My story starts when I started working abroad.I'm a nurse by profession. Before my friend and I left, we were told that we will only be having working permit. It was only after a few days of working that we realized that its a pass intended for low income earners. We already know that our salary is low but we were thinking if we will work in the wards, there's night differential, meal allowances, etc....

When You Don't Know What To Do

By Little June on November 16, 2018 / 4,201 views

No matter how busy we get each day, at some point we will have this feeling of emptiness inside us. It's as if something is missing and needs to be done. We may think we just need someone to talk to. Or listening to music can make us feel better. But in my 33 years of existence, I have come to realize and experience that at these times, all we need to do is PRAY. Prayer is the best weapon to...

I Absolutely Love Life

By A Friend on November 15, 2018 / 3,530 views

Just everything about life is so underappreciated, just listening to the radio makes me so appreciative that someone has spent time writing, composing and singing this song makes me so grateful. Simple things like spending time with my cat just brings me such joy. Little things like enjoying a cup of tea and browsing social media and going through dozens of posts that have the intent to entertain,...

Learn What You Want To Learn

I have a degree in business. However, it was my father's decision for me to pursue a business major. He thought that having a business degree would make me more competitive and provide me with more available options in entering a global marketplace. I took his advice. Nevertheless, even though my college experiences were fantastic, I still had no interest in any field of commerce, let alone having a...

The Pulse Oximeter

By Marilyn Lucero on November 13, 2018 / 3,992 views

Eleven years had passed. I looked at her in awe and amazement while she sat down on her hospital bed. She is still that lively and cheerful woman I knew. She is still that someone who sees the world in its colorful hues. A peculiar someone who enjoys life despite its inconveniences. Yet, she is already far from that new and clumsy nurse volunteer we both were when we applied in this hospital eleven years...

A Moment Of Thanksgiving

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 13, 2018 / 5,505 views

It was 28 years ago. I was a young dad with two babies under three. My Mom and Dad had invited us to their home for Thanksgiving dinner. Their tiny house was packed. There was my wife, myself, and our babies. My two brothers were also there with their families as well. The kitchen table was full and people were eating on TV trays and with plates in their laps. We eased around each other so as not to spill our...

A Stranger Just Bought My Dinner

As I type this I'm sitting in a Chinese buffet. When I sat down I patted my pocket and realized I forgot my wallet. I told the waitress as I started to get up to leave, and the guy at the table next to me said, don't worry about it and he gave the waitress a $20. I tried to decline but he just said "pay it...

When A Child Prays

By Marilyn S. Lucero on November 11, 2018 / 3,629 views

It is with a heavy heart to come up with this decision. I have to do this for now or else I would end up giving myself to emotional devastation. I have become so tired. Tired of running so hard to make both ends meet. Tired of thinking what more could I do in a faster way. Tired of always making the impossible. I have painfully decided to let my kids move to another school with a much cheaper rate...

Signs Of The Star

By Maite Dela Luz on November 11, 2018 / 3,133 views

One of my best chilhood memories with siblings was spending many wonderful nights gazing at the sky. We enjoyed the view of the amazing gathering of bright celestial objects above. When everybody's settled and ready, the search for the brightest and biggest star began. As we looked up towards its horizon, before even we could find the brightest and the biggest, we began noticing patterns among...

Blessing In Disguise

By Maite Dela Luz on November 10, 2018 / 3,897 views

Never did I imagine I would land into a place that I used to hate the most. I could only remember those times when all my plans were set for my american dreams. But God I guess must have been teaching me something, something that I could always value throughout my life. My coming here in Saudi Arabia (KSA) turned to be a blessing in disguise. I have learned many things about life: its significance,...

Big Sister

By Sarah on November 10, 2018 / 3,068 views

My fiancee has two younger sisters. I am the youngest of five children, and thus have never had the experience of younger siblings. Lately his sisters (who are both teenagers) have been coming to me to ask for advice. It makes me feel really cool and important, but also a little bit scared that I could be telling them the wrong thing. We come from different religious backgrounds, and I haven't been a...

He lost his mother when he was a...

I've Never Felt More Loved In My Life

By Peach on November 07, 2018 / 3,922 views

My dog was sitting by my parents quietly begging for their dinner. I called her seeing if she wanted to come upstairs with me but she didn’t even take her eyes off the food. I got the hint and went up to my room. A few seconds later she pushed open my bedroom door and came walking in. She picked me over the slight chance of food falling to the...

My Wicked Heart

By Marilyn S. Lucero on November 07, 2018 / 3,506 views

I watched them with a heavy heart as they left until they slowly disappeared. It was such a heart-wrenching sight! While I would be taking a convenient ride home, he would be trudging on foot along the highway, crossing several busy streets and down the rough and muddy road towards home. It would not be an enjoyable strides and a light walk but a difficult and heavy one. He would be pushing papa in his...
