There are times in one's life when the only thing that sounds appealing is the thought of leaving everything behind and running (amok) in someplace anew. Sometimes, you get blessed with a few friends who would do just that with you. So last Sunday, some friends and I (with only the littlest nudging… Continue reading Misadventures and part-time bums

Thought Bubble # 6
We were on the summit of my favourite mountain. I was half-asleep. My head was on your chest, cradled by your heart and kept safe by your strong arms. The rest of me, however, was somewhere else -- far enough from both of us, but close enough to come back and take refuge… Continue reading Thought Bubble # 6
Cheers to the Old, Cheers still to the New
I. You have bad years. You have good years. And you have years that are positively out of this world, so much so that you feel writing about it won't give it justice, no matter how hard you try. But then again, I've always been a stubborn kid. So I will. Try, I mean. At… Continue reading Cheers to the Old, Cheers still to the New

On my inability to edit 15 minute ramblings
(This is something I wrote on my notebook while in a lecture today and I'm trying to get used to writing shorthand again, so I'm not going to edit this any further.) Whenever you think that there's nothing you'll ever amount to, remember how you weren't even supposed to be here in the first… Continue reading On my inability to edit 15 minute ramblings
Sometimes I’m creative
I know I probably don’t look the part but I’ve always been into stitching and monochromes and making hopefully useful stuff out of apparent junk. Anyway, I was rummaging through my closet earlier today in hopes of finding something new to wear tomorrow when I stumbled upon a couple year old stash of white shirts… Continue reading Sometimes I’m creative
Thought Bubble # 4
(This blog is becoming nothing but a collection of thought bubbles, I'll have something posted up - my first shawarma-related entry - on Monday. Tuesday latest.) All my life I've always wanted to be an astronaut. The mere thought of being away - literally away - from everything connected to home but still being… Continue reading Thought Bubble # 4
On Unprecedented Disasters
On Friday, 08 November 2013, the biggest typhoon in the recorded history of the world made a landfall in the central part of the Philippines. Not having been able to fully recover yet from a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that happened just a few weeks into October, the towns and cities that form the Visayas islands… Continue reading On Unprecedented Disasters

Alone Time
(Still from the video, Alone Time. Watch here.) Sometimes, we all get just a little too claustrophobic with how the city seems to cage us in - with requirements, deadlines, and responsibilities. More often than not, the only way we can recover and find ourselves is to leave for a bit. And Ana does… Continue reading Alone Time
