Happy Thanksgiving!
To all my family and friends in North America celebrating this occasion, Happy Thanksgiving!
And to all of us here who in one way or another still suffer under our absurd political system and endure the embarrassment of incompetent services (Arroyo = Arrovo) we still have a lot to be thankful for, we who have internet [...]
If I Could . . .
Tagged by my niece-in-law Teacher Sol
If I could be in one place right now… I would be up in the mountains of Tuburan, the first place in the world where I discovered peace.
If I could give something of myself to my friends… it would be desire to live for the moment, and to never let [...]
I’ve never Kippled
I have always pessimistically thought that putting up a blog was an invitation for people to throw rocks at you. I was thinking exactly that when I first put up my blog at blogspot. That’s why it is always refreshing to get kind comments from readers who happened to drop by, and even those who [...]
A Night at the Theatre
Sam and I went out alone together for the first time tonight, to watch my friend Ralph’s recital at the Summer Workshop of Repertory Philippines. They put on the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls, and Ralph played Brother Arvide Abernathy, a missionary from the Save-A-Soul Mission and grandfather to Sarah Brown. And he sang this [...]
The Second Time Around
“So. What do you plan to do with yourself up here?”

Paracetamol every 4 hours (for the fever)
Yun ang nadecipher ko sa resetang sinulat ng doctor ko kanina. Urinary tract infection nga, gaya ng suspetsa namin ni Sam since last week pa. That explains the chills for the past three nights, the latest of which was [...]
Another Voice
And now I turn you over to my friend Ralph, who has written about something I feel strongly about, but do not have the words to express. Ralph, as with other things in his art, says it so well.

In Advance
As we’ll be very busy on Valentine’s weekend* I would like to leave the following lines to my partnerless-but-still-hopeful friends, to encourage you and let you know that there is a happy ever after, that there are second chances, and that love is still as perennial as the molave (i mean the tree, not the [...]
