Just so you know

The bell tower stand still tanned in the dusking sky. The afternoon is long, the birds are rendering west as they follow the setting sun, and the townsmen are retiring to their respective roofs before the evening falls. While all other people are returning home, she is walking against the flow by heading to the bus terminal. Down the alley she pass by the beautifully crafted bouquets of flowers in a boutique and followed a day dream that one day, she will be given one of those by a man who truly love her. In the glass window there is a signage written in velvet red – Valentine’s Day, and then a curve of smile in her lips showed upon knowing today is a special day. For a moment she thought that this day would be extraordinary because she will be meeting the man who have waited for two years and invested a trust worthy relationship before he could officially ask her to be his girl.   She was only 17 when they first met in a feast where all of the farmers gathered to ...

Denial is abundant when you are at the point of breaking down. Denial is living by the truth that never exist. Denial is pointing out the obvious that was never really there. Denial is believing we are not. We deny because we are afraid of hurt. We deny because we are tired of explaining. We deny because refuse to accept. We deny because don't want to believe. But the hardest part of denying is when it leaves us no choice but to suppress our own happiness for the other.  That point in denial when you are about to Love... again.

In the existence of diversity, we cannot deny the fact of idealism that separates each culture from one another. The Philippines for one is a multi-cultured archipelago enriched with religious beliefs and customs, and that hasn’t changed as far as history can remember. There is however one speck in the history that is worth remembering by our fellow countrymen - the undying peace talk between the Philippine Government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.               Liberation in its political context is over rated by socio-economic interest, the oppressed, and the hungry for power, thereby creating conflict that leads to upholding of armed forces causing chaos. The peace talk in Mindanao depicts the controversy of the stronghold of the Moro people protecting their homeland. The evolution of this controversy is basically rooted upon the heart of the Islam community who became the minorities of the region after nurturing the lan...

Memoirs. Nostalgic. Innocence. Today I write about childhood, a childhood that was at the very least was a part of everyone’s happiness. I am pretty sure that I started to talk when I was 3 because my first memory of someone asking me a question is about my age and I always say 3. I used to play with the little boys in town, I never had Barbie or teddy bear to hug when I sleep, and my hair was never long so I thought – I must be a boy? We lived in a swampy piece of land nearby the Church, and every time I hear the bells ring, I thought another wedding is about to happen and I wish I could see the bride walking down the aisle. I love going to church because I had the chance to buy my favorite cotton candy - the pink one, even until now actually J  Every afternoon we fly kite with my sister nearby the swamp and that was the time when I had to learn how to whistle, otherwise I don’t get the wind to blow my kite. I love to shower in the rain, it’s the only time I exper...

Badian, Cebu. 3-3-2014 What an opportunity to join Team Hydra's Team Building in Kawasan Falls - my favorite water spot in Cebu. Actually salingpusa rako diri, waahhahah! pero makisawsaw na nga rin pag may time . We stayed at Gradeur Resort in Badian, a very comfortable and clean place to relax, the rate is very affordable too. Achieved! lol!    We had tons of funny moments with this kalurky bunch of funny folks, hahahha! Green jokes ang Peg  It was my first time in Badian Beach and I love the peaceful white beach, it reaches the far south side of Cebu that is why you can see the Negros mountains .. amazing!   My favorite part is going to Kawasan Falls, though we weren't able to climb up to the 2nd and 3rd falls we had a great wacky time underneath the splashing waters... It's worth the ride!! wweehaaahh!  Watching the sunset together with your friends was lovely.  At night we played the Pinoy Henyo and I answer 2 items, nyaha...

Cebu. 10.15.13 8:12 AM MLA. It was a fine weather when I was on my home from an over night shift. In a few seconds I thought a plane was about to crash when I saw the people staring upward while running inside their houses, but when I knew a magnitude 7.2 hit Bohol I tried to focus going home and praying that everything should be fine way back home. A few minutes later everyone was calm but some aftershocks went on shaking the grounds, until 3 more weeks we still feel some tremors. The last year's quake was most agonizing because I was 8 months pregnant and I have to do the evacuation 2 times that day... The funny part was when everybody has already gotten out of the building except for the pregnant woman who was struggling her way down at the fire exit, lol! that was the effect of adrenalin rush for normal people. In the afternoon a Tsunami false alert created a panic in the whole downtown, I was in the 5th floor while watching the people scrambling around like a disturbed col...
