- Goodbye Joel…
Joel (not his real name) lived 6 meters away from my house in Bikol. He was a nice guy close to my age. When I went home last June, he was kind enough to say ‘hello’ despite my obvious indifference and even shared his umbrella with me against the sun’s piercing heat while I was [...]

- Sunshine & her erasers
When I was in second grade (I can walk to school by myself then), I did
a lot of pencil drawings in class. Our teacher would often go out &
she’ll ask us to do heaps & heaps of drawings. It is perhaps to keep
us busy & glued to our seats. The drawings [...]

- Sinigang Sunday
It’s Sunday again and yes, I was at the kitchen getting my hands full with pork meat, onions, tomato, beans, spinach, radish and of course, the wonder pouch - Sinigang Mix sa Sampalok with Gabi. I had a dry week so I needed some soup and what better way to have than a bowl [...]

- Unbelievable…I actually won $500 voucher…
I don’t like Saturdays. I’m usually downcast & it’s so hard for me to cheer up. It’s a little weird but this how I feel on Saturdays - down & dejected. Early in the day, I will begin missing home. I will stare for hours at whatever is in my sight and contemplate [...]

- Manananggal attacks!
It was a night like most nights – serene & quiet. The loudest sound one could hear were the insects humming incessantly almost to no end. Geckos from time to time will sing their hymns adding variety. Other than that, it’s just tv in our household buzzing.
Our eyes were glued to the tube catching up [...]

- Have you watched Disturbia yet?
I’m beginning to love M1. They have this SunPerks scheme wherein you’re given rewards based on your SunPerk points. For 400, I got a pair of tickets for Disturbia at Cathay Cineleisure which I must say have better seats than GV. They gave me best seat location too!
For a DreamWorks helmed movie, Disturbia is quite [...]

- View from my window
Thought I’d share the view I’m treated at 14th level from my block.
That’s the rooftop garden of a car park building. It was completed months back. Not really sure though if this is open for strolling already. When I went for a visit not long ago, the stairways were blocked.
I get spooked by this sometimes. [...]

- Sundays at the Kitchen
Sundays, you will find me in the market or in the kitchen. Mornings will be pretty much shopping for a week’s supply and cooking up a big plate enough to last me for days. I would normally have same menu for a day not unless I opted to go out & eat. But since I’m [...]

- Did you visit a Faith Healer?
When I fall sick over a span of days & I don’t seem to get any better, one of the many advices I will get is to go to an albularyo (faith healer).
Visiting them is quite an experience – even more mystifying than being a student in Hogwartz. It’s fun too!
So one day I [...]

- Joseph & his elves
One old memory of mine that I always find amusing if not weird is about Joseph.
Joseph (not his real name) was a classmate in my first grade (I can remember that far).
He claimed he goes to school atop a jackfruit leaf which magically flies him down beside the canteen. He has an elf friend for [...]
