		<description><![CDATA[A few years back I joined in on the call to say no to the Philippine Book Blockade because I believed very much in the value of reading, whether this be in the classroom setting or in the comforts of our own rooms, curled up with a good book on cold rainy days. It&#8217;s sad, [...]]]></description>

It has been 14 years since we lost him, and though the pain and sadness of not having him around has faded, it never really goes away. Although he was diagnosed initially with emphysema, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Charice and Justin Bieber guested in a recent Oprah episode, they ended the show with the two youngsters signing a pact promising to stay text-free while driving. This is an encouraging move that hopefully inspires other young people out there (okay, even myself) to not text while driving. Admittedly it is hard to be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, not every Juan can fly after all. Contrary to Cebu Pacific&#8216;s tag line that it&#8217;s time everyone flies (or every Juan as they so creatively coined), there are exemptions to who they are willing to fly. This is the message they gave to the public when they so insensitively tried to coerce a mother [...]]]></description>
