Sunday, April 19th, 2009Don’t you ever wish you can stretch yourself further than what you’re capable of? I have. Several times and more. I even sometimes wish that there’s two of me. Though, I know that is already reaching. Stretch, yes. Cloning, no. Hehe.

Mind Over Matter
Monday, February 16th, 2009A 5-Year Old Philosopher
“Mind over matter,” my nephew would say, esp on occasions — whilst spending time on the beach — when he found the water a tad bit cold but would still want to stay in simply because he wanted to continue playing in the sea. It was something that his dad would tell [...]
There’s Treasure Everywhere
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009“I’M SIGNIFICANT! … Screamed the dust speck.” — Calvin
Life can be utterly and taxing-ly overwhelming. I’m barely halfway through the entire length of it yet I’m already tired, aren’t you? It’s all the falling, the detours, and the countless disheartening wrong turns. Lost and just about ready to throw in the towel. Yes, quit — [...]
What have you been up to lately?
Saturday, February 7th, 2009Ideas, Goals, etc
It’s fascinating when you find yourself in a state wherein ideas come in great waves that you have to try and rein it in a bit so that you can really digest everything and map out how they could all possible work and be executed.
“Um. Er. Uh.” One would stammer when asked. Dear [...]
The Handorf Humour
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009Just a bit of a precaution though. This post is not suitable for minors. Plus throw in the dimwitted. No need for the likes of you ’round this parts. No sense really. Confused? Then move along. Heh.
Yes, take a seat and rest a bit. It’s time for a bit of a break. No one said [...]
Notes, Doodles, Scrapping and Stories
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008A perennial note-taker, an avid journal writer, a lover of the arts, and having a general fondness for literature. How else can I describe the stuff I busy my hands with outside the usual tapping on the keyboard and fiddling with the camera? I guess I’ve most of them covered.
Notes
Writing is my friend. I can’t [...]
Notes on the New Society of the Philippines
Sunday, September 21st, 2008Photo© 2008 Sasha Manuel
I wonder how many of us remember the significance of September 21 in Philippine history. Personally, I haven’t really given it much thought until last month when I found this old book among old things while I was organising bookshelves in the den PLUS everyone commemorated Ninoy Aquino who was assassinated during [...]
How to Survive Without God
Monday, July 14th, 2008Before you go “Omigod, what blasphemy!” on me, it would be better if you read the entire thing first. That is, if you can get through the first few paragraphs (which I’m wishing you would!) and have the patience to read the rest.

I’m here to admit that there was a time [...]
The Space in Between Us, Building 429: I am where I should be.
Saturday, July 12th, 2008Photo credit (L-R): Sasha Manuel, Jal Manuela, Abe Olandres
From that moment I held a camera in my hands back in 2005 and saw the photos I took, I was hooked. It stirred an unimaginable fiery passion that I didn’t know existed. I just knew I wanted to keep doing it. I didn’t own a camera [...]
Sit With You Beautifully
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008When you think of life, what comes to mind? Do you have what Milan Kundera speak of as “the unbearable lightness of being”? Or are you completely weighed down by the realities?
It’s easy to fall prey to the need to self-preserve. It only means that you love yourself. You know what’s important. You have it [...]
