Lola's Philosophy

By Bo Sanchez

“Bo, what’s your secret for being holy?”
Yeow! Questions like those make my stomach do triple somersault inside. But instead of screaming till my lungs explode, “I’m not holy!” I answer their question with great solemnity.

“I suffer for Jesus as much as I can,” Their eyes dilate, their jaws drop, and their bodies freeze. I go on, “I sleep only two hours a day so I can pray more; I put broken glass inside my shoes, that through the pain of each step, I mortify for the sins of the world; and I only eat a bitter food so that I will hunger more for the pleasures of heaven...”

Start Afresh, Build from the Failures of Your Life

By Bo Sanchez

I was sexually abused when I was eight years old.

A cousin who was ten years old lived with us for some time, and as a curious kid, I was in awe in him because he seemed so strong and skilled and in control.

“Do this or suffer the consequences,” was his favorite line to me. He’d use it when he wanted me to do errands for him, like buy Coke or chips from the sari-sari store. He’d used it when he abused me sexually.

Bloom Where You are

By Bo Sanchez

I’ve been traveling too much. I sometimes wake up in the morning wondering what city I’m in. Am I in Davao? Or Bacolod? Or Toronto. Or L.A.? Or Jakarta? Or Cebu?

Everything is a giant blur.

But at moment I step outside into the sunny day and inhale the heavy, poisonous, potent, mutant, radioactive, genetically –altering, tuberculosis-causing, cancer-inducing fumes of the air...

Let me tell You a Story

By Bo Sanchez

Perfect

There was a man who was looking for a perfect woman. So he searched for her far and wide, someone who was intelligence, beautiful, and charming..., (Note: This is not my personal story, no matter the man similarities, okay?) And after many years of exploring and waiting, he finally found her. So he courted her to ask for her hand in marriage. But sadly, she rejected him. (Sob) In his misery, he realized why; she was searching for the perfect man.

Romance in the Air

By Bo Sanchez

Be forwarned.

The greatest calamity in this world is about to happen.

Two women dropped by my office one day and said, “Bo, we’re thinking of putting you on TV.”

“On TV? Uh...should I sit or stand on it?” I inquired. "No, no, no,” they groaned, “You’ll appear in a program!”

I Love Rubber Bands

By Bo Sanchez

Let me tell you a crazy story I heard recently. There’s this husband who out of sheer love for his wife decided to prove it to her. So he swam the widest oceans, crossed the deepest rivers and climbed the highest mountains to show his deep devotion to her. But, in the end, she divorced him. Why? Because he was never home. (Get it?)
