And to experience the beauty and tranquillity of the night is LIFE itself and I'm just too grateful to be part of this." ~Ricardo Perez

"Reflecting on what LIFE is, how I lived it and what lies ahead. With the sun touching my face-- the same sun that gives radiance to both the holy and the crooks and yet results were never fair. There was never a striking balance. It was always unfair. And the feeling is terrible when you have too many questions yet nobody has the answer. You're alone making your story hoping you make relevance and make your family proud. You're on your own and it's scary to realize that nobody will remember you fifty years after you've left the stage. A stage that was your TIME." ~Ricardo Perez, August 17, 2018

"The DUTERTE Bloggers/Supporters lived by the doctrine of NATIONALISM and PATRIOTISM. We will not tolerate EPAL politicians. We will blast credit grabbers and DESTABILIZERS will be crushed on site. Having said that, ANDANAR's appeal for KINDNESS to these traitors is not NEGOTIABLE. And if he got NO guts to draw the gun because of his politics, then SO BE IT.

"The President, with the little time he has, is working HARD to deliver what he promised to the FILIPINOS and he sent messages of encouragement to participate in the nation building by examining our values and put our common senses into use. Does he care about this “blogger’s "word war’ in any way? I don’t think so. He is the PRESIDENT of the country and he is the President of the Filipinos be it a DDS, a fence sitter or opposition. He made his promises during the campaign and he is committed to delivering it." ~Ricardo Perez on warring SocMed bloggers, 14 January 2018
"The rain that pattered on our veranda reminded me of my Mom's words years ago. She said that she knew about the fears I had concerning paternal issues that had caused me many uncomfortable moments and it will linger but just like the plants in her pots, I am a cactus. Like the spirit of this plant that seemed never to die, with no water or manure, it could flower. The flower smelt fragrant and it will teach me how to grow with problems. I kept that thought happily and I still keep it now. My childhood memories with MOM lies in my heart forever. These memories are just like drills shining all the time. I know I love them." ~Ricardo Perez, 23 October 2013

"'You can't dream when you're surviving.' This was my mother's words from a not so distant past. She was right. I dreamed a lot. A lot in the bag but nothing brought me closer to any because, for each day that came and passed, it offered nothing but loops of opportunities to survive. I lived only to survive. One day I'll just let it all go. One day." ~Ricardo Perez
PILIPINO PROSE
"Ang pagdaloy ng ulan ay nag iwan ng mga tanong kung ano na nga ba ang nagawa ko
sa paglipas ng panahon?
Kumapit ako sa pag-asa pero wala. Wala.
Nabuhay ako upang buhayin ang sarili.
May maasahan pa ba ako?
Maiintindihan ko pa ba ang diwa at hiwaga ng buhay?
Baka hindi na.
Hindi na rin siguro magkakaroon ng katuparan
ang mga pangarap ko na dinaanan na ng ulan."

To never quiet her voice to make someone else feel comfortable. Because no one remembers the person that fits in. It's the one who stands out that people won't be able to forget.” ~Nancy Arroyo Ruffin

"I walk a new path on this late part of day, feeling at peace with the scenic trail and sharing the pulse of nature all around me. My thoughts are light enough to be carried along with the dove’s airy call. I’m not feeling overwhelmed with finding the many penetrating answers to life’s biggest questions. I don’t feel any urgency to attend the latest seminar that will expose what is holding me back from discovering my personal truth. And I do not sense any need to seek and uncover the deepest of spiritual reason. Instead, I simply yield to settling into the heart of where I am, right now.
