Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being
|
|
To love promiscuously without the yoke of guilt,
to savor the illicit, to free sex from love and to find ecstasy in
rebellion, one can hardly stand being unfettered and unbound. The
Unbearable Lightness of Being, French/Czech novelist Milan Kundera
most notable work written in 1982, explores four lives intertwined
in tumultuous times.
Kundera delivers a compelling tale set in the
time of Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia. The book revolves
around inner conflicts of four individuals as they search for love
and happiness. He reveals in detail the patterns that characterize
each protagonist.

Wildfires
|
|
It’s almost unimaginable but true—some 800 wildfires are blazing
in many western states, and in the Midwest, their problem is of an
opposite kind: Stormy weather and flooding in the plains as levees
and dams fail to contain the rushing waters of the Mississippi.

Flowers
|
|
I have a hobby. I love to take photographs of flowers. There is
something about flowers that intrigue me. Part of my morning routine
at our Nazareth Formation House in Batangas is to walk around the
ranch and take pictures of the many varieties of flowers that dot
the landscape.

One sexy cake
|
|
Popular home baker Karen Young’s initial red velvet cake was
somewhat of a misnomer. For one thing, the cake was dark, rendering
null its very name; it was dry; and the icing was some incongruous
combination of cream and something else.
