Dear Editor,
Hello everyone!
I just came here from Singapore a few months ago and I’m still finding a hard time to adjust to the environment and the family I work with, weekdays kasi ang holiday ko. Isang beses lang day-off na linggo sa isang buwan. I just go to church, visit the parks and sometimes reply e-mails after having an hour of cyber-browsing, then tapos na naman ang maghapon.
I love reading and I try to grab papers that are for free especially on pinoy-related topics. Minsan nakakainis na rin magbasa ng samo’t saring balita, karahasan, kalamidad, koraption (haayyy nakakawalang gana!)… provoking emotions, primarily resentments, anger, hopelessness, though things can and will improve for the better, lalo na sa ating bayan.
I like reading your newsmag because I find it soul-inspiring, unlike others na masyadong comercialized at more on tsismis that has negative impact. “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” is always an eye-opener… same with “Bato-bato sa langit”, moral reminder too.
Your pages have the ability to brighten one dull moment. Two inspiring journeys captured my heart, “Joyzjourney” of Joy Marqueses and “Gems in Journey” of Annabelle Libao. Their thoughts and experiences are very true that I and perhaps many OFW’s, can easily relate with… very uplifting, projecting positive outlooks in life. Health tips is one I look forward too, and IT topics help a lot. I, for one, need to be upgraded. Mr. Sapio is a very inspiring leader and I think Cherry Mon is a great Chef… is it a profession? Well, I laugh at “Joke Lang Po”, and I challenge my Tagalog vocabulary sa crossword… taga Ilocos po ako. Horoscope? Life goes with or without predictions pero enjoy ako for the wishes.
With you, life is less boring. For the wisdom, inspiration and service, thank you. I hope and pray that your publication will continue to provide helpful-healthy reading articles and remain true to serve as voice of every Filipino citizen overseas. More power TF!
Nakikibaka at tumatangkilik,
