  • Art Recs: Ashley Mackenzie + Alexander Khokhlov

    Sometimes I forget that images can be more puissant than words.   The visual flair of Ashley Mackenzie‘s works demonstrates a striking transcendence through dimensions. What makes it so evocative is the nature of the barriers that she breaks; previously unthought of physical territories are unravelled and then stitched together through a thematic motion of form.…

  • Dinners with debate, and why they’re so valuable

    …because if I don’t eat with them, I forget to eat dinner entirely. Case in point: right now. I am hunger but it is late.

I stepped into a conference room and found myself saying yes to the challenge and love of debate. I applied to the UP Manila Debate Circle.  Three things,…
