Over lunch yesterday, I watched this endearing little movie called Juno. It was a fun film, both smart and unpretentious, and manifesting the same characteristics as Little Miss Sunshine that made me love that film so much.
As lunch break was only an hour, I only got to screen the first half of the movie. Eager [...]
After winning the year end poker tourney with a bunch of high school buddies on new year’s eve (getting an ace-high straight on a no-look, all-in on the final hand, san ka pa?), I remarked that the game signified redemption from an otherwise bad year. It was a mere 400 pesos, but on a symbolic [...]
Last night marks the second time in as many nights that I went to Ateneo to hear mass.
It’s funny though, how several years removed from my graduation, I’ve actually been to Ateneo more times than my alma mater La Salle. I’ve been there enough to distinguish Xavier, Kostka, Bell and the Rizal library, among [...]

It was weird seeing you in my dreams again.
And like most of my dreams, it was wild and convoluted, occasionally bending the laws of logic. One minute, I was with a friend shopping for pink pearls in Dhaka, the next, I was riding an escalator in a mall in Manila.
Of course, you showed up [...]
Six months have passed, and I find myself walking along familiar territory again. There’s this comfortable feeling that I get during these revisits to places I love, with my mind absorbing the mundane beauty that escapes the everyday.
Things may have not changed much from then, with the same souls walking hastily along these crowded streets, [...]
Dear stranger,
Superficial as it may seem, I generally distinguish a good day from a bad one based on whether or not I hear the sound of your voice. Yes, I’m a sad case, but that’s how my life has unwillingly evolved.
On those good days, I manage to catch you on the line while I [...]
