Creativity and originality are among the traits parents must have when naming their kids. Especially so if you live here in the Philippines. [I gathered that these two traits are not required in other countries, so that explains why they have common, “boring” names! (Peace, peace! Just jesting. This is not supposed to be a [...]

There’s something that’s gravely ailing the world today. And it’s not global warming. It’s our hearts turning cold and unfeeling.
The culprits probably thought it was a good joke, so they took video footage of it and uploaded it in the internet. After all, it’s not often that one would “be lucky” enough to witness an [...]

Slumber shamelessly enticed and beckoned
and my pen, tired from scuffle, succumbed.
In the abyss of dreamlessness she lodged
frozen, lying there totally unperturbed.
Precious solitude, my pen found in the chamber
Wailing, none was heard; not a single whimper.
But in there too, was a whole army of rust
Nourishing my pen with its scrumptious crust.
The stillness of the chamber, my [...]

Sometimes when I look at the story of the original sin backwards, it strikes me that it is very much like the myths that we know today. There are times that I go thinking that maybe the story was created in an attempt to explain some of man’s predicaments: why there are temptations, why man [...]

If good pictures could launch thousands of ships, and meaningful words could reach the depths of the soul, allow me then to put my lines and images together. If they could at least launch a wooden boat and touch one weary soul, then I would know I’ve done something good.
Taken from my essay If Life [...]

She floats like an eagle
And whispers like the breeze.
She soars high like hope;
She’s calm like peace.
She’s a storm when she rages;
A nightingale when she sings.
She is sadness when she wails
And bliss when she beams.
She is a small step that leaps;
The blood that travels in the veins.
She is a cool wind that revives;
A fire that warms [...]

Opportunity and Humanity faced each other at the Chieftain Hall. This was to resolve Humanity’s complaint against Opportunity.
Humanity claimed that Opportunity was not doing his job, which was to regularly present himself to Humanity and his people, and give them all the chances in life that they deserved.
After proper introductions were made, the chieftain [...]

Angel, you came and filled our hearts with gladness
Your smiles, so sweet; they turned away the sadness
Your stay so brief, our hearts would burst with grief
But for the hope of seeing you again, with your wings so swift.
Peaceful is your sleep now, our dear little angel
The harsh world, you can no longer feel.
In your sleep, [...]

Have you ever experienced things that you would dismiss as simply coincidence had you not been praying for them, and had your heart had not been so sure they were signs from up above?
I have had experienced this sort of thing several times before. And I experienced it again today.
When I purchased Paulo Coelho’s book, [...]

“Why would I jump when I can glide smoothly? Why should I take a plunge when I can dip one foot at a time?”
“Rolling stone” is what my father calls me. Since I graduated from the university six years ago, I’ve changed employment several times that he had to keep reminding me: “rolling stones [...]

.
It’s summer; the sun’s smiling brightly
But autumn reigns inside me.
I feel like a tree who just lost a leaf
Because you left; now inside my heart
Is a terrible heartache.
Help me feel I am no tree
And you are not a leaf;
Instead, you are a river, and I am a creek.
Though we are from different worlds,
We came [...]

Let’s not walk through this road, forgetting
.
That only when we let trust stay afloat
Will we be able to drown our cloak of doubt.
.
For dreams don’t soar in our sleep
Because only when we are wide awake
Are we able to give them wings.
.
And only when our courage learns to fly
Are we able to crash our fears.
