I turned 30 today. I am now officially middle-aged. Can’t help but assess myself– what have I achieved so far? Am I a better person? Am I happier? Ano nga ba ang pinagkatandaan ko?
Eversince I started earning my own money, I stopped making a big deal out of my own birthday. But this year [...]
Coming from a 122-hour hospital watch, one can understand how exhausted I was. It wasn’t the lack of sleep or nourishment that got the better of me. I think it was the thinking, lots of it, within the eery silent, cold, disinfectant-smelling hospital ward, that drained the life out of me.
We rushed my mother to the [...]
A friend came home from Europe last month and became the excuse for late night outs, getting drunk and being foolish. It’s been a long time since I get together with my best friends, (the ones I have since kindergarten) and I realized just how changed we all are now.
Woodie and his wife Joanne have found [...]
I spent the long weekend with the Desperate Housewives TV series marathon. And I can understand why it had become such a popular show. It is every housewife’s struggle, triumph and story. Watching episode after episode of the show, in the darkness and quietness of my living room after everyone else has gone to bed, [...]
I recently learned to play badminton. And I can’t stop myself from playing since. Three months ago, I enrolled in UP’s community sports program, quite reluctantly though, because it entailed waking up early on a Saturday. But my good friends Noemi and Madel prodded me to join. And so I did. After all, I needed [...]
Coming from an afternoon nap, I found my cell phone blinking red and swelling with pending messages. I was asleep for two hours (which is a joy I hold dearly when not working) and was dead to the goings on in the real world. I have 13 messages received. I was quick to think it [...]
Last night, I was watching the news on the development in Lebanon and felt empathy swelling inside me as they showed the reaction of the families in the Philippines. The government is flustered as relatives trooped to OWWA offices, asking for assurances of their loved ones’ safety.
Just like every family I know, I also have [...]
The first thing to go was the shelf. And what a huge space it left. I should be happy having more room to salsa (given that I know how) but don’t feel like dancing. The steel cabinets went next. I never knew I am capable of growing an attachment to such cold, rusty furniture, until [...]
As a teenager, I used to keep and maintain a diary using a hard-bound notebook, adorned with my favorite cartoon characters. After every entry, which I tried to religiously write before going to bed, I keep it locked in my bottom drawer. And I already lost track how many hours I spent reading and re-reading [...]
