Mga kababayan ko, I did not realise that in the autumn of life I would be writing articles. I hated doing that when I was younger but had to do it when I went to college and later to graduate school where I had to write term papers and then the Masters and Ph.D. thesis. I could not believe that since September, 2011, I have been contributing monthly articles to Somos Primos Hispanic magazine and it was Maria Embry, our champion for the cause of the OFWs who talked me into writing articles. I previously wrote articles in the Philippine Inquirer in the year 2002 after I ended up my being a bachelor and then to Sanrokan magazine, a newspaper published by the group from Romblon. I am glad that I am into writing because mental activity is the best way I was told to prevent senility and the dreaded Alzheimer disease especially if a person has a genetic predisposition to this fatal ailment. Writing emails are also one very good mental activity. But writing an article in a magazine is the best. For me writing is also to divert me from mainly taking care of my two very young sons who are 9.5 and 6.5 years of age. Here are the articles and webpages for the articles I wrote for Somos Primos since 9/11. If you want to share my articles to others, be my guest. 9/11 somosprimos/sp2011/spsep11/spsep11.htm#THE PHILIPPINES The Influence of the Spanish Language 10/11 somosprimos/sp2011/spoct11/spoct11.htm#THE PHILIPPINES10/11 The Use of Subjunctive Mood Part 1 11/11 somosprimos/sp2011/spnov11/spnov11.htm#THE PHILIPPINES The Use of Subjunctive Mood Part 2 12/11 somosprimos/sp2011/spdec11/spdec11.htm#THE PHILIPPINES Course in Spanish (Primera Lección) somosprimos/sp2011/spdec11/spdec11.htm#MIDDLE AMERICA The Hispanics in the Twin Cities of Minnesota 1/12 somosprimos/sp2012/spjan12/spjan12.htm#LITERATURE Los Verbos SER y ESTAR somosprimos/sp2012/spjan12/spjan12.htm#THE PHILIPPINES A Joy That We Are All From Diverse Cultures 2/12 somosprimos/sp2012/spfeb12/spfeb12.htm#THE PHILIPPINES 1) Harana in the Philippines, a Personal Experience 2) The Verbs in Spanish, their Unique Categorization, Dynamism of Spanish 3/12 somosprimos/sp2012/spmar12/spmar12.htm#THE PHILIPPINES 1) Remembrance of the song Quiereme Mucho 2) Why the Spanish Language failed to become the Lingua Franca in the Philippines, Unlike its Latin American Counterparts 4/12 somosprimos/sp2012/spapr12/spapr12.htm#Philippines 1) Chabacano and the Lasting Influence and Legacy of the Language of Don Miguel de Cervántes in the Philippines 2) The Practice of Avoiding Eye Contacts and other Philippine Traditions 5/12 somosprimos/sp2012/spmay12/spmay12.htm#THE PHILIPPINES 1) Politics and the Influence of Movie, Media, and Sports Personalities 2) Brain Drain or Brain Deluge/Surplus somosprimos/sp2012/spmay12/spmay12.htm#MIDDLE AMERICA An Easter Reflection 6/12 somosprimos/sp2012/spjun12/spjun12.htm#THE PHILIPPINES 1) 10 Years of Marriage.
