Rita and I date way back! She is my schoolmate in high school and my housemate and gimmick mate in college.

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a military's wife? We fret about our husbands coming in late from their overtime while they worry if their husband is even coming back alive and well. Through my blogging I met Glaiza, the blogger behind Moomy Musings, a mother and a military wife.
Over blog events, we have come to get to know each other. She's funny, real and dedicated to rearing her only child in what she terms as a "geographically single mom" status.

IBA NAMAN! Congressman Teddy Casino doesn't fit the realm of traditional politics. And for that, he has my ears. He is not an actor nor the son of a politician. Instead, he earned his way to Congress by staying on the streets pushing for good governance, justice and equality.
He is a relentless fighter for the marginalized and is an advocate of many causes that I, in the comfort of my home, am not willing to lift a hand for. As a UP alumna, the phrase, "Kung hindi tayo, sino?" is a phrase I have long abandoned because it is just too inconvenient. And I thank people like Teddy who has dedicated their lives actively seeking and advocating for the universal good. As a congressman, he has authored bills that protect the welfare of the poor and a seat in the senate would further the causes of this altruistic man. And for this he has my vote.
He is my dear editor-in-chief when I served as a writer for UPLB Perspective, the collegiate newspaper of UP Los Banos. He has been a very supportive mentor in my early years as a writer and he has a good heart. You know the feeling when you meet someone and you remark to yourself, "he is a good man," that is what I get when I see Teddy, good and selfless. And for this he has my active support.
This interview is meant to give all of us a peek of who Teddy is as a father, as he shares his fatherhood style, how he balances family life and government service and his dreams and aspirations for his kids. Get to know him ... he is a parent just like us:-) [Read more...]
