One more full day and I’ll be off to my hometown. My first time to go back after seventeen months. I feel so excited, but suddenly the thing that had been nagging me at the back of my head comes to the surface this morning when my fellow housemate who had just arrived in our […]
Happy Birthday Maya!
I first met Maya six years ago when we became classmates in College. My first impression of this girl was that she was a tomboy because of her clothes (big shirts, boy-cut pants, rubber shoes & backpack) and her “siga” stance. Now, anyone looking at the present Maya would probably have a hard time imagining […]
Solo Value Meal
Yesterday for some reason, I got very hungry early. So hungry that my head was beginnning to pound. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I told my lunchmates in our YM conference that we should all meet at 12 sharp at the 19th floor for lunch and if they weren’t there, I was going to […]
Tatay’s Tales
My friend Nald has had several interesting experiences while working in Manila. Gay and I were talking about them and I just wanted to recount them here. Boxing Arena. He was in Quiapo to buy a wallet that a friend of ours asked him to buy when a fight (suspected to be a frat war) […]
Can This Be Love?
Our apartment “handyman” was installing a doorknob over the weekend (our old doorknob wouldn’t open from the outside anymore) and we girls were busy watching him when our other housemate suddenly broached an interesting topic: “How can you tell if you’re in love?” It’s a cliché, sure, but that particular question coming from that particular […]
Weight Woes
Most of my officemates give me THAT look whenever I unwrap a sandwich for lunch. They seem to have this idea ingrained into their heads that a meal is never complete without rice and that anyone (me, in this situation) who would do without rice would be better off sticking a knife into herself rather […]
Ambition Should Be Made of Sterner Stuff
If you’ll look at my elementary yearbook, you’ll read that as a kid, my ambition was to be a doctor. That was a lie. My real ambition was to be a journalist. That was what I wrote, but when I submitted that to my moderator, he gave it back to me and asked me to […]
Charmed?
My friend Fli once told me that I must clairvoyant. Sometimes I wonder if she’s right. When I was a College freshman, a friend of mine invited me to their town. I said, “I’ll go if I have the money for the fare.” A couple of minutes later, I stepped on something infront of the […]
Maturity is a Boring State of Mind
When I was in High School, I dreaded graduation. I thought College life would be a drag and I actually wished I’d die right after graduation day so that I wouldn’t have to go through all that misery. Morbid, huh? Turns out I was wrong. I had even more fun in College than I did […]
