“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” ― Marcel Proust I only have a week left in my trip and had little expectation of anything else that would make it more special than it already is. However, my sister had one [...]
“What’s your favourite movie?” He asked me during one of our dinner talks. I had a couple of movies in mind I know that are on my list but I knew I couldn’t have given him a smart enough reason to make him want to watch it, too. But, today, I’d be singing a different [...]
In one of them while-my-sister-is-driving conversations, I had mentioned that I’ve always wanted to write one of them “word of the year” blog posts. I’ve been meaning to since that first blog post my sister did on it but as you can see, I’ve never gotten around to do it because (1) I was caught [...]
There are days when my own thoughts are not enough to satisfy what message I feel I’m compelled to say. Those same thoughts are too chaotic and the restlessness it causes in me would only quiet down when I pick up a book and read what others have got to say. These stringed words serve [...]

Though I had said I’ll be around here more often, I went and disappeared for more than a month. Fantastic, yea? I didn’t mean to, really. With life happening all around, sometimes, it’s good to take yourself out of the things that cause you to remain where you are. It’s good to know that there’s [...]
Here are a few notes and snapshots of my recent trip up North aboard the campaign caravan organised by the party of Senator Kiko Pangilinan. I’d like to note, however, that I’m in no way a political blogger, so, be warned that this is merely a traveler’s scribbled encoded thoughts and observations. I agreed to [...]
I betcha it can’t. Ha. Well, not unless you own one of these. It’s a Coca-Cola Drinking Glass and, yes, it can actually tell if your drink is cold or warm. Er, I’m not quite certain what’ll happen if you put in a hot drink since I dare not experiment with the thin glass make. [...]
