I was around eight spending one summer with my cousins in that obscure village in Cebu.

Quaint bungalows surrounded by boungavillas, rocky unfinished roads, wide empty lots, an often empty tennis court, fisheries, and lobster ponds comprised what for me was the setting in which I began to learn one lesson I continue to contend with everyday until ( Read more... )

I saw a familiar face the other night. Just like six years ago, I was still chopped liver in his eyes.

He walked-in  in this curious café cum bar in Makati, (he was with this skinny  --of course, of course-- girl whom I remember was with a different guy whose name and face escapes me now. I don’t know why I remember such useless things.)

Ahoy there!

I am in LOVE with the BACYARDIGANS.

I could spend the whole day watching them.  It's just the type of kiddie show that can put an eternal loopy grin on my face.

Janice Burgess is brilliant! Everyone behind it is brilliant! Heehee.  The show's officially in my top 5 list of all-time fave Nick shows (next to Hey Arnold!).  Here's a sample ( Read more... )

A big Congratulations and thank you to my batchmates! :)  To TA, ACOMM, AMP, my Coursemates, Blockmates, Thesis mates, and all those I attended my classes with...one big sweaty hug to all of you!

Speaking of  "all those I attended my classes with..."......SIGH.   It has been 3 days already and I'm still regretting chickening out in the ( Read more... )

That freakin blue rose.

I've been through my Philo orals and I think I bombed it. RAAARR. I can't believe I bombed my finals in my favorite subject....So now I'm going to reward myself by letting go be being shallow for a few minutes.

Kanino ko ibibigay ang blue rose ko? (Teka, may blue rose pa ba? Oh well. Kung wala, hypothetical nalang. Hihi)
