Stories of my Life

Jose Marti, the renowned poet and writer who led the Cuban independence movement, once said that there are three things every person should do in his or her life -- "plant a tree, have a son and write a book."

I have already planted a number of trees, fruit bearing and non-fruit bearing. In 2004, God gifted us with our first born... a son. And two other girls followed. 

Now, I only have one thing left to do, write a book. 

I've written a number of articles, some of them published in local papers and I was a contributing writer to Bo Sanchez' best selling book "40 Stories of Finding Your One True Love". But I don't think I would be able to write my own book. Even if I do, I don't think I'd be able to find a publisher. So writing a blog is the closest I could get to having the "written by" thing. I had a diary when I was younger, but a blog allows me to be more creative with the lay-out.

Life is a journey... and every journey unfolds a story worth writing and reading. This is my life and my journey, thus I get to write the story as I please. I hope you'll have fun reading my stories, I welcome comments and reviews.

Live life to the fullest!!!
