Let us forget first that we are christians, or roman catholics, or whatever religion affiliations we have. Let us assume that we are men of logic. And well, of emotions. Then we pose the question of being and nothingness. What if there is none whatever after death? Or should we put it — after life? [...]
Ang Manikang Hindi Nilalabhan
May lumang laruan ka bang itinatago. May kahulugan ba ito? Halika basahin mo ang isang maikling kwentong pambata. ——- “Hindi ko po gustong kalaro si Anjie, Mommy,” wika ni Emerald sa kanyang ina nang matanaw sa bintana si Anjie. “Bakit naman?

SA KANYANG SAPATOS
Teacher’s day pala noong isang araw. Hindi ko naramdaman maliban na lang sa panaka-nakang pagbati ng mga bata. May nagtetext. May nagppopost sa wall ko.

Oh yeah, Mind F, Mother F ‘ er! [Ondoy Year 2 and the Apathetic and Forgetful Us]
When Jofti, a friend from FWP, told me about this project of commemorating Ondoy and writing something of whatever value regarding environment, I must admit.. It didn’t give me a hard on! Sorry for the euphemism but that was my honest reaction. Of course, the eagerness is on writing. But environment? Call me apathetic but [...]
Aral sa Isang Eskinita
Ngayon na lang ulit akong nakapaggala sa sulok ng Padre Garcia. Malapit na kasi ang mga fiesta kaya kailangan ko ng magparamdam. Hindi naman ako magtitinda ng lobo o ng sisiw na may kulay. Tamang gala lang. Trip trip. Para makibalita na din sa mga katropa at kamag-anak. Naglakad lang ako kahit medyo malayo. Namimiss [...]
