From a distance, Dream watched Man staring out at his tiny window, gazing unseeingly at the clouds almost completely concealing the rising moon, sadness hugging him tightly. The soft breeze was sighing, and the crickets were eerily quiet.
Dream’s heart went out to Man, despite himself. After all, they used to be inseparable, the best of [...]

“Jing, be careful that you don’t step on the décor,” mother warned, referring to the glass décor she laid on the floor about three meters from where I was playing jackstone. “It might break.”
“Ok mom,” I replied, wondering if it would indeed break.
I resumed with my playing. But soon, my curiosity as to whether the [...]

Fashion is generally regarded as a paltry topic, but there are a couple of rules in fashion that would do us good if we could apply them to our life. They are the rules on accessories.
When tastefully used, accessories can make a plain ensemble look stylish. They can even make a cheap dress look classy [...]

I stumbled upon a video of JK Rowling’s commencement speech at Harvard University. JK Rowling is the creator of the Harry P otter series, which is among my favorite books. I find her speech very inspiring, so I am featuring it here.
Here are the parts of [...]

There is a hymn inside my heart that begs to be sung,
Waiting for my wobbly fingers to strum
The strings of my soul’s discordant melody.
But my lips refuse to sing the notes
That would pull my soul out of the void;
For though it badly needs to hear the music
It fears the thundering boom of the drums.
So I [...]

A sense of déjà vu washed over me as I took a seat inside the CASAA, the eatery near what is probably the most popular building at the University of the Philippines — Palma Hall — for it is here where the general education subjects are taught. I glanced around, hoping to see someone I knew. Recognizing [...]

.
I was once a pointless sentence, devoid of meaning
But then I learned I had to mean something…
I analyzed my syntax, as well as my words;
The turn of my phrases, the semantics of my world.
I looked into my clauses, and probed my conjunctions
Only then did I see everything was skewed:
Something [...]

AN UNSEEN HAND turned an unusually bright spotlight upon a darkened stage. Out of nowhere, a figure stepped onto the platform, with no idea how he got there or where he came from. Neither did he know what to do. But in his mind, he seemed to be hearing a voice fainter than a whisper, giving [...]
