Living With Myself and Leaving it Be

A good number of people are probably going to despise me for the decision I’m about to announce. They’ll probably think I’m shallow and superficial, with not an ounce of patience in me. This won’t stop me from this decision. I’m giving up on my little brother. It seems as if he’s been brought up [...]

I Admit It All

A friend of mine came up to me yesterday, telling me about another old friend. She asked me if I had talked to that friend recently, if I had any contact with him at all after so long. Bluntly, I said no. It was awkward how she insisted-over and over- that I should try contacting [...]

Okay, I admit it.

I am JEALOUS.

Seems Like “Oh My Word” Isn’t ‘My Word’ Anymore

That’s just wonderful, Mister Supreme Court of Midnight Chief Justice Renato Corona. You have now taken away every single Filipino’s intellectual property rights. Yes, that is correct. You have taken it away and thrown it over to the trash bin. Last October 15, 2010 a new “right” was added to us Filipinos, as promulgated by [...]

Falling In Love With The Hero That Should’nt Have Died That Early

I was reading a book by Virgilio Almario entitled Ang Panitikan ng Rebolusyon(g 1896) just the other day, and as I stared the first chapter, I yawned a bit, thinking it was going to be another history lesson. “Ang Mga Dapat Malaman ng Mga Anak Ng Katipunan” it said, and it didn’t attract me at [...]

YES! In your face.

Yeah, you can take all that paper and shove it into your face, man! I did it! I passed my Literature 131 class in blooming flying colors! Ehem. It’s great, you know. It’s such a wonderful feeling to pass something you never even knew you could, let alone get such a good grade as a [...]

Stick A Fork In My Heart; It’s Done.

Dilemmas, dilemmas… It’s frustrating, the way some people think that you like them back, just because they like you. Even worse when you really dont. Even more if you like someone else. It’s even MORE horrible thinking about this while typing in a net cafe with a bunch of uncivilized asses screaming at each other’s [...]

Deals With The Devil

Perhaps the most notorious and the most classical character to ever grace the pages of literature, The Devil is one persona long been explored and depicted. He has come in many shapes and sizes, sometimes as an old man, and sometimes as a big, fearful creature, laughing at the helpless souls of the underworld, his [...]

Fables and Folk Tales: The East and The West in Retrospect

I. Introduction Fables, as defined by www.about.com, is “a short allegorical narrative making a moral point, traditionally by means of animal characters that speak and act like human beings”. They have long been read and taught to us, passed down by either reading or by oral teaching, and have been a staple for every child’s [...]

Awkward Day

So, I’m 18 years of age as of today (but that wont be official until 3:45 later in the afternoon), and I’m not sure how to react to it. The only thing I mostly despise about this is because I’m not at home sleeping my ass off. Instead, I’m here, in my dormitory, working on [...]
