5 AM
(inspired by the song “Kwentuhan” from Sugarfree)
I.
Didn’t realize how late it was
or how fast time has flown by here beside you
The sun is almost up
And still here we are doing nothing
but talk and laugh and talk some more
Like there is no tomorrow
Drowning out all the sorrows of yesterday
with songs and words and laughter
II.
Didn’t realize how much I like being with...

Reading List
“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

hello new friend
In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
Then there is that someone who will rekindle the flame for you.
And so unexpectedly,
You are called to take another chance to trust again in the goodness and sincerity of the human heart.
Friendship. Respect. A meeting of the minds.
No promises this time, only the willingness to believe that:
Love may not conquer everything...

notes from an encounter with a douche bag (or how...
Me, in the office, eating a banana.
Higher authority, stares at me, smiles.
Says, slowly to me, “Ganyan ka pala kumain ng saging” (So that’s how you eat a banana).
Me, visibly embarrassed and disgusted, backs out.
Wants to throw said banana to his face.
The End.
Slippery: The banana in question

One’s destination is never a place, but a new way...
“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it.”
– Mark Jenkins
Snorkeling in the waters of Olango Island in Cebu. So ready for my next adventure! :)

My Mom and Her Sisters Through the Years
Reblogged the pictures above from an October 2010 entry and added a picture taken just this morning:
My mother comes from a big family. She has ten siblings: six brothers and four sisters (one died in infancy). So imagine the bedlam whenever my aunts would come home from abroad. This, of course, doesn’t happen very often.
My mom and her sisters are very close and the PLDT budget cards...

Childhood is the most beautiful of all life's...
I am happy my daughter is having a fun childhood surrounded by her second cousins, nieces, and nephews.
My brothers and my cousins were already in their teens when I was growing up. I had one or two who were my age but I seldom get to play with them because they live in the city and would only come around to our house a few times a year.
I was for the most part, a lonely kid who counts her...

A Trip to Book Heaven

Last night, my friends and I visited a traveling book expo aboard MV Logos Hope, a vessel operated by a charitable Christian organization from Germany.
The crew which is in Manila until March 13, will then sail to Subic for...
