Just came home from a day trip to Tagaytay with the father’s side. Well, not literally just came home. It was to celebrate our paternal grandmother’s birthday; we surprised her with bad singing, flower bouquets and a chocolate cake during her stay for a triennial congress in CMCS.

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…

My life tonight.
Ehem. So. First: This morning, my brother and I dropped Ate Risa off to a bus station in Pasay. She’s staying in Bicol for eight days, taking a needed break from the hassle of our house and at the same time leaving me all alone to fend off dust bunnies, scrounge for food and the…

Prose/Poetry: Memory
I was in Chuy and Kiko Eatery when this happened. From Pablo C. Bueno’s wake. Dated 11 March 2012 from my pocket journal, unedited. One The Eternal Adoration A million steps and a thousand falls are etched onto the skin of these floors and walls. Each gentler and rough step, or hesitant footfall (your first step,…
