Summer in Subic {Deetour}

I was supposed to go mountain climbing last Saturday, but some friends told me it’s dangerous to do that during election time, so I switched plans and early Saturday morning found Rome, Caloy and me in Thom’s car headed for Subic. We arrived close to lunchtime and checked in early at Courtyard Inn, where our […]

Voiceless

by

#37 Run in a marathon Done with #37 in my 100-things-to-do-before-i-die list. That makes it the 5th of a hundred. A long way to go, man. Okay, okay, so maybe I ran just a third of the way and brisk-walked the rest, but at least I still ran, didn’t I? And can I help it […]

Below are real life cases, with names changed to protect their identities. Case 1: Angel is a girl-next-door with a pretty face. She once had a […]
