I lived in New York in June 1969 but I am not one of the millions who claim they were at the Stonewall Bar the night it was raided. In those days I was a bit of a ‘bar snob, going only to the ‘better bars’! My partner and I were...

eileenleyva Far as I know, medical science has it that there is an imbalance of hormones, that is why male feel more like female, and vice versa. It is a condition that must never be ignored nor deplored. I have friends who are at the worst of predicaments because of...

Enjoying life now, not when you are retired. Going against convention. Why do one have to wear a certain dresscode, why can't you color your hair blue to work? Who said so? This is their point of view. Lack of structure sparks...

It’s been a few years (thankfully) since my city has dealt with this kind of tragedy. Doesn’t make it any easier though. We lost a police officer tonight. He responded to a market in a known bad area of town for a report of a...

eileenleyva One good life taken away. I feel for the family. The father is the pillar of the home. May the good Lord turn the grief into blessings. May the good Lord grant the children good lives after this senseless tragedy, My prayers.

eileenleyva There is a current water crisis. Prudence dictates that everybody do their best to conserve water. The Mayor of San Juan should have put a stop to the fiesta water throwing festivities. It becomes vulgar when water is wasted at a time when 13 million are very...

eileenleyva @ichipink Media was quick and accurate. The raw interview of the fishermen narrating their story was true, The government wants to change it because a stance against China would affect the incumbent's deal with China. The leadership of our land betrayed us.

eileenleyva The leadership of the land is ant-poor. He wants to eradicate the poor. Thus, he couldn't care less whether the fishermen die,. The lives are nothing to this forked-tongue.

eileenleyva @tech40 It is said that teaching is the noblest of professions precisely because the teacher has the power to cultivate young minds and make the students the best of beings they could be. I will keep a prayer for you. Be the best teacher you could be.
