Sa tren ng byaheng pang-umaga, may bitbit na bag sa kaliwa, sabay hawak sa kamay ng bata. Isangdaang oras ang lumipas ang kamay ay naging kalansay. Patak ng luha, bumaon sa kailaliman ng lupa. Sa dulo ng paa roon tumubo ang ulo ng bagong bata. Sige, subukan mong hawakan. Gumuho…

I haven’t seen much TV shows for the couple of years that I stayed here. Mostly because I can’t understand the rationale about the neverending cycle of love-fight-love-trial-happy ending stories bombarding the tube nowadays. Still, it’s a continuous fascination of people around the globe. Young, middle-aged, old, single, in a…

Ang mga babae, bata man o matanda, kaibigan ang isang salamin. Sa umaga pagkagising, tititig sa kanya’t pilit na aayusin ang buhok at kanyang mukha.

Nais na makitang muli ang taong naglakas loob na suungin ang pagsubok na kaakibat ng pagsusulat. Naging matapang sa loob at…

Nais mang balikan at muling basahin Tanging sa bakas ng natuyong luha makikita Ang dahan-dahang binurang mga nabuong talata Ang kuwento ng aking buhay na isinulat ng tadhana Kaya magsisimula na lamang muli Sa isang piraso ng papel Maputi’t walang laman Nais kong punuin ngunit walang maisulat Patak na lamang…

It’s the second day of 2016 and I’m sick. An exciting way to begin the new year, complete with chills of high fever and sore throat. Unending coughs since this morning. Then there’s the internet. Being stuck at home, prepares me to binge watch and re-watch movies that I set…
