A respond to Bel’s challenge. I know. I know. This is risky. To be talking about something men do not have. The Kingdom Masculin might forever ban me. But hey, friends of the opposite sex, you might learn something from this. The species of the Kingdom Feminin are superior in a way. Would you believe that the confident masculine friends are inferior against us, women, when it comes to one thing? Women have this...
One of my blog friends, Major Tom, tagged me. It seems tags are chasing everybody these days. I do not have the habit of remembering exact dates, except those that are really very important, or significant, and require my memory to store. TWENTY YEARS AGO, and that was 1985, a year before I finish college, a year of struggle and pain because Papa’s health was deteriorating. He was diagnosed to have emphysema. He was...
When Papsie was still my boyfriend, he had this to say when asked about women’s virginity, “Hindi naman importante sa akin kung hindi na virgin ang isang babae. Unang-una, minahal mo siya at niligawan nang hindi nalalaman kung ano ang buong katauhan niya. Nai-inlove ka naman ng di inaasahan, nangyayari iyon na di mo naman alam kung sino talaga ang taong iyon. (It is not important for me if a girl had lost her...

(An attempt to short story making) It is almost 5 o’clock in the morning. Elena lazily stretches on top of a cardboard at what seem to be a nook for street children her age. Her stomach is literally growling spared last night by the scanty meal she and her friends call as batchoy. She must get up and look for food. Her little brother will be up soon and cry at the top of...

Umuwi si Kay sa bahay noong isang araw galing sa eskuwelahan nang ako ay nasa banyo at naliligo. Hindi kasi ako pumasok dahil sa sama ng pakiramdaman ko. Para akong tatrangkasuhin. Narinig ko ang boses na garalgal at parang naiiyak. “Ma…” Sagot agad ako, “O, anak, bakit?” “Ang sama po ng pakiramdaman ko,” sagot niya na para bang umiiyak na. “Sandali lang, ‘nak, tatapusin ko lang ito.” Dali-dali kong tinapos ang aking paliligo.

Ever woke up in the morning suffering from a nagging pain in the head, instead of praising God for a beautiful morning that has broken? That is the worst that could happen. And worst, at the instant you open your eyes from sleep. I could have stayed at home to rest yesterday. But my workload and an appointment awaited me. The pain was on and off so I decided to go to work after...
Tagging seems to be “in” lately. I was tagged by Evi and Nico. Now, I am really finding it difficult to chase blogger friends and be the “IT”… The Book Club Tag What’s in a book?A lot of everything. Number of books on the shelves: A number but not really that many. Those that I own or bought: There are those that I own. There are those that were borrowed. There are those that...
