This Side of Heaven

My name is Aisa O. Manlosa. I'm at multiply because I love to write and blogging is an important part of my joy. There are sunny days and rainy days in my side under heaven and I write in both occassions. This is never because I just want to publish and not just because I want people to hear me out. Many times, it is because I take it as a way of talking to myself. And so what you will find here are true.

I have an opinion about practically everything that matters. But I don't always speak them out. I almost always, write them down. Someone did say that sometimes there is a greater gift than having the right words. It is knowing when not to say them. I believe that. There are just exceptional moments that call for such exceptional wisdom.

I love to ponder on matters about life. Sometimes they are trivial, at times they are very important. But when they are meditated in the light of God, they are equally worth much while. And that's what I do in this page.

Those who first meet me will think I am silent and in fact they are right. I am not so in the company of family and close friends.

Welcome to this site. I appreciate your dropping by. I love to get comments especially when they engage me in discussion.

I hope before leaving, you help yourself to bits and pieces of thoughts that may inspire. Events can strengthen and weaken, encourage and discourage, enrich and smother, but in the end, what we become is always determined by the choices we make. Please choose to make the best of your reading here.

God bless you!
