    Spiritual Sunday: Flower in the Rain

    ByMae Olandesca April 8, 2012September 11, 2016

    Spiritual Sunday teaches all about life and our Big Boss. Hallelujah!  The Lord has risen!

    Singapore by Feet

    ByMae Olandesca April 2, 2012August 12, 2016

    “Going for a walk is an invitation for surprise.” – William Wordsworth I always love walking!  I started to love it when I was in college as I tried to lose some weight (see Home – Fitness First).  It was an exercise for me and now, it is a recreation!  I prefer walking than just sitting…

    ByMae Olandesca February 29, 2012August 3, 2016

    Months had passed and I’m still thinking of him.  I missed him yesterday, I miss him today, and maybe I will also miss him tomorrow.  Just until when will I miss him?!
