Irony of ironies, we ordered vegan pizza for Independence Day. It's an American food.
Watching Heneral Luna on netflix, it's a movie that depicts the patriotism and heroism of the Filipino.
Unfortunately, the movie also shows...

Gosh, am I late to the punch. My apologies in advance.

I am fully aware that there are huge differences in attitude as between Americans and Europeans when it comes to patriotism. As a Brit, I take the line that patriotism is something to be handled with great care and certainly not...

Many times over the years, I've heard people talk about Lawyers, and how they screwed everything up. I can't deny that we have a system of justice, and compensation that favors lawyers. I can't deny either, that there are many...

This is totally mind-boggling. A Korean choir sings 'Bayan Ko.'
Bayan Ko is the Filipinos' fight song, or a battle cry song. We sing the song when we are oppressed, or persecuted. Bayan Ko is a declaration of love and patriotism...

We know what patriotism is and where it begins, but does being patriotic not allow us to speak out against all we believe is wrong with what our country and its flag have come to represent?

When I was young, I did my best to fight for freedom from the Marcos dictatorship. I did think mine was an ugly fight, for I was rising against a fellow Filipino, unlike Joe Rizal and Andy Bonifacio who fought the Spaniards, and...

One year ago today, my father had the wonderful experience of being flown to Washington, DC on an honor flight, in recognition of his service during World War II. Since that trip, my mother, his wife of nearly 70 years, died. I...

Hi everyone,
This will be an odd 4th for me in some ways. I am the first born child of Russian immigrants and for me, and for my family, the U.S was a bright light after war torn Europe. Those who know me, know that I am no fan...
