His crime? Exaggeration.

Ask any woman how she feels about her life at any time and if she indulges you, you would probably revisit what you thought was a simple question. Most likely, she would not give you a tidy linear string of one thing after another but a sea of "things" — an intricate weave of facts that are intimately tied to the tides of her emotions — all the ebbs and flows, the torrents and the calm sways. You get involved with a woman in any way and you are in for the sail of your life.

So what's next for Leo Oracion, Pastor Emata and Romeo Garduce? Endorsements of products at fees as high as Mt. Everest.

Thus, it might explain of why so many of us dipping our toes in the murky waters of our third decade on this Earth are already facing mid-life crisis.
