Chocolates: For that Loving Feeling

Celebrity World Vol. 4 No. 185, February 20, 1995

On the cover: Jao Mapa and commercial model Ruth Pilar Barnett

Chocolate is a commodity probably as popular as Valentine’s Day. So, an article about chocolate, “Chocolates for Valentine: For that Loving Feeling,” is also very popular, such that I had re-written it several times for different magazines.

“Who is this whose glance is like the dawn? She is beautiful and bright, as dazzling as the sun or the moon..... I am trembling; you have made me as eager for love as a chariot driver is for battle.” – Song of Songs 6:11 & 13, The Good News Bible in Today’s English Version.

Can Animals Think

Family Today Vol. 2 No. 2, September 16-30, 1999
On the cover: Siblings Cheska and Patrick Garcia

 

This is probably the only time that my article was bylined “Ernest Lawagan.” Probably just a “typo” on the part of the editors. They also made some editing such that instead of the animals knowing “math and the sciences,” they made it an article about animals having “the ability to think.”

“Wolves and lambs will eat together in peace. Lions will eat hay like oxen, and a snake on the ground will not hurt anyone. They will not hurt or destroy each other on all my holy mountain, says the LORD.” – Isaiah 65:25, The Everyday Bible, New Century Version.

Setyembre 14 sa Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas

          Noong Setyembre 14, 1815, tuluyang nagtapos ang kalakalan sa pagitan ng Manila at Acapulco (sa Mexico) na kung tawagin ay “galleon trade” nang magsimula ang himagsikan para sa kalayaan ng Mexico. Tumagal ang kalakalang ito ng humigit-kumulang 310 taon.
