Transitions. We start small. We always do. We start small and frightened and too unwilling to take the plunge. We start as strangers, as fledglings thrown to the world, and we start by pretending that we know what we’re doing when we don’t. We start by opening our eyes and slowly unfurling ourselves, by reaching… Continue reading Cheers to the new

An attempt at remembrance
[I haven't written in a while, but I've been seeing a lot of mountain photos on my feed, and I hope this can serve as a reminder to leave no trace.) About a month ago, a group of friends and I climbed Mt. Maculate in Cuenca, Batangas, a very easy dayhike with a spectacular view… Continue reading An attempt at remembrance
For When You Feel Ugly
[Author's note: so recently I've been having really bad esteem issues, and it was hampering my efforts in productivity. Thus, this. Sorry, readers, recently my posts have been very personal. I'll write about my Maculot Clean-Up Climb experience soon!] 17 October, 2014, over a bottle of wine. Hey, Joy. Chin up. There will be more days like… Continue reading For When You Feel Ugly

After calling… Continue reading On Spontaneous Spontaneity (I am not lost to the redundancy of this title)

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
Thought Bubble # 2
There are currently 7.046 billion people in this planet. Each person with a different name, a different face, a different story, and a different future. Each person just waiting to be unfolded. One girl might come from an abusive home, one boy might have been fourth of seven adopted children, another might be… Continue reading Thought Bubble # 2
Thought Bubble # 1
(23 October 2013. Sagada, Mountain Province.) So let me tell you about the world 300 million years ago. 300 million years ago, the world was divided into two. A body of water and a body of land. A yin and a yang. A binary of zeros and ones that we now call Pangaea. Slowly, however,… Continue reading Thought Bubble # 1
