DEAR DIARY: No matter what, don’t give up

>There is a famous cartoon on the web of a frog whose head is inside a crane. The poor frog holds the crane’s neck and looks like he is doing whatever he can to keep himself from being swallowed. Does this sound familiar? Sometimes, life gets us like that. Like the frog, we struggle to keep ourselves from being swallowed by the hardships of life.

DEAR DIARY: It’s not goodbye but see you later

>Leaving on a Jet plane is a song by John Denver, but most people will identify it with its first line All my bags are packed I’m ready to go. My mother loved this song and she hummed it every morning under the bougainvillaea tree as she took a nap. Sooner or later her demise hit us like thunder on a sunny day.

DEAR DIARY: Good looks will get you votes

>Women vote for good looking men. Don’t we? Before you protest, hold it, hold it ladies… We don’t have to look very far to test the theory. Our dear President is a good example. If you voted for JK, how many of you would say that his looks didn’t cross your mind at all when you were voting? Be truthful now.

DEAR DIARY: Do not enslave yourself to beauty

>Tell me one thing ladies, what part of your body do you want to change? You know, that part you want to be bigger or smaller. You don’t have to think hard. I know that you know it. It is good to admit it to yourself that you dislike that part of your body.

DEAR DIARY: Get tested before marriage

>To test or not to test, that is the question. Going for an HIV test can be a very frightening experience; the flash backs about questionable encounters, the crippling self-doubt and even mistrust of your partner can run through your mind.
