Why Sucker for Happy Endings?

During the time that social network sites are starting to boom. Twitter, Multiply, Facebook, Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, They would all want an info about yourself. Some people would love it or may actually think you're cool if you just put a one-sentence show about yourself. I was 18-20 years old that time, practically trying to be a teen, when I started really thinking hard how can I best describe myself in one sentence.  So I looked at books I was reading that time: Harry Potter. Betty &Veronica Comics. Nicholas Sparks. I looked on the videos I was watching that time: Boyce Avenue, JK Rowling stuffs, Oprah (I know), and a Ted Video. Happy Ending movies. Happy endings. yes, I'm a sucker for happy endings. I feel good when I read stories about happy endings. I want happy endings .  About Me Facebook Tumblr Twitter There's no other side on this. Both of me are a sucker of happy endings .

To All My Fellow Filipinos Abroad: We Carry our Flag too, Just Like Martinez in Sochi

Philippines' flag bearer, figure skater Michael Christian Martinez, leads his national delegation during the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. 2014 AFP I was reading about Christian Martinez, the only Southeast Asian Olympian at the Sochi Winter Olympic Games. And... He is a FILIPINO. :) Competing in a prestigious INTERNATIONAL game and alone . Man, it takes a lot of guts to be there. People viewing around the world will see you, judge you. The feeling of  stepping in a foreign soil alone for the first time? New rules, new faces, new language.  And yet, Martinez should stay focus on what he know he do best: Skating. It's very hard to focus with a LOT of stuff going on.  Of course I am a proud Pinoy here. I feel for him . Well, kinda, because I felt exactly the same when I first arrived here in Singapore. Though I didn't marched out the airport with a Philippine flag on my hands, and not a lot of people waiting for me to come out from the arrival hall,
