I have come across several writers and authors but one who really stands out on my list is Maricel-Laxa Pangilinan.
I am not a fan of the movie-actress, but I am a fan of the mom, wife and writer. She is an inspiration.
I am lucky to have a copy of the book of the first compilation of her articles. It was given to me as a gift by hubby when our relationship was barely a year old. I guess giving me that book that dealt with motherhood, marriage, relationships was a big proof that Alvin was for keeps :D Reading that book inspired me, heaps!
I knew she had a column with the Philippine Star every Tuesday. And I really looked forward to reading it. But, I lost touch with her articles when we migrated here. Until today. A friend, who as a response to the newest and hottest issue in the web about Language and Learning (James Soriano issue), shared a link that led to her column! Yipee! We're reconnected!
I can't wait to catch up with the previous articles she has written and I wasn't able to read.
She was an inspiration and she continues to be one :D
