“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
Another month gone so fast. The story of my life the past year: time flying past and me chasing hard after […]
What’s happening on the 14th? Just the usual for me. A Thursday EDL class, enjoying the “provincial” feel of Diliman, and packing for a school immersion trip in Zambales the next day. Happy thought, I’m on leave on the 14th. That week is also when people will converge on the UP Fair, and the day […]
Thursday 2:00pm: I am cramming another paper due 5:30pm. I have not written anything really technical the past couple of years, and it shows. Approaching the 24 hour sleepless mark and only a blank Word document to show for it. Plus flourescent green stabilo marks on my hands and a much abused hand-out. Sorely tempted […]

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,

1. long talks with friends
2. reading borrowed or library books
3. hugs
4. walking along the edges of […]
Tomorrow, I will be busy with what I do best: uprooting myself and my meager bundle of belongings into a new “home” in Quezon City, near UP. SInce I am an NPA (no permanent address), home is where I spend the most time sleeping. That is now a solo room just big enough to fit […]
I just enjoyed five platefuls of spicy caldereta, chopsuey, rice and chicken lollipops in our team’s victory lunch. Now, I am a nursing a very full stomach and massaging a sore jaw. Which reminds me…
This x-ray of an unknown person’s teeth is from the Internet.
Unfortunately, it bears a good resemblance to my actual lower jaw. […]
The Lantern Parade 2007 - UP Diliman Style I spent my undergraduate years in the UP Manila-PGH campus and was pretty much content with our version of the Lantern Parade. As I remember, each college would make a lantern that would follow an annual theme or would best show their field of expertise. The parade went through […]
