  • Weekdays and breaks: a not-summary of events

    A graduation Some things end with a happier note; my sister left Ateneo de Manila with a degree in Comm Tech Management and lots of memories (but not a lot of tears). Okay, so this part serves a very simple purpose. I just want to remember what happened, ha. We spent two nights and three…

  • Opinion: Paano na si Dolly?

    There’s a lot to be said about education in the Philippines.

    You know you’ve been affected by one too many bio lectures when your first reaction when seeing this in tumblr is not to “aww” or reminisce about movie-related moments. It’s to think: wow, that’s really, really wrong. And my second reaction of giggling inside my head probably isn’t because of (SCIENCE!!), but I can’t help but be…
