I discovered the library when I was in 1st grade after the school asked us to contribute books to bulk up their shelves in a make-shift room. You’ll kind of have this inkling that this space is a temporary refuge for the titles because of the rough finish of the floors and the unpainted walls. The librarian tried to enliven things up with letter cut-outs from cardboard and colored paper, but you can’t help but feel that the 5 tier shelves were swallowed by all this grayness.
This blog is up for a year now. This started as a platform to write a tribute to Tita Vicky and her importance to my life and in how I process and adapt to my current situation. We are never perfect but it’s great to have someone who exemplify goodness, kindness and generosity.
As been said, she has always been
The PAGCOR gig is the second best job in the world. The best one is the one you dreamed of. Card Dealing, at best, affords you the things that a dream job can provide. I’m speaking not necessarily in terms of financial security but it buys you time. Time you can spend freely without the stress lurking at the back of your head thinking about deadlines or any of the dread from a typical nine-to-fiver.
Steph Curry is the favorite for the MVP race, mainly on the basis that his performance translated into wins, most than any other team in the NBA this year. More importantly he has improved his performance from last year’s numbers, particularly the TurnOvers department resulting to where GSW landed on the road to the playoffs. Harden is able to showcase the peak of his individual talent, almost Kobe-esque. But those type of numbers no longer translate to championships and some voters are persuaded by the individual’s fighting chance to lead his team to the finals.
This is where LeBron comes in, whose consistency is as boring as the Spurs
I walk the stretch of Edsa extension from the corner Roxas Boulevard to MRT Taft at 10p.m. whenever I opt to leave my car and take the train instead. The sidewalk depicts the threat of decay Pasay City seems to suffer from within, similar to a shiny teeth enamel that is rotten from the inside.
It is not a secure walk and I’m pretty sure the city will use that fact that I, along with the daily mob who traverse this dirty street, walk there unharmed. The whole stretch is commercially developed but
Perhaps the most difficult role a parent has to do is to create an elaborate tent of myth to sustain the growth of your children’s imagination. Sure, I’d want to tell my kids the truth and teach them the value of being true and sincere with whatever and whoever they choose to be. But handling the truth about Santa, princesses, and heroes require, you know, kids’ gloves. Are they gonna be better off if we let them crash into the ground until they learn the concept of balance or are they gonna learn better with training wheels? The answer is much much more complex and if it’s gonna be aided only by odds (something like 80% of kids without training wheels perform better…) and not by something absolute, then it means you’d have to find things out for yourself and hope that the result followed the trend.
A prayer is a form of a hopeful song sung to the universe. It means absolutely nothing to a disengaged listener. It doesn’t heal the sick, it doesn’t feed the needy, it does nothing without action. If you believe it will lead you to proseperity, you got the whole prayer figured wrong.
Friday… Payday… Driving… Enduring a two-hour hell. Finding solace with the 80’s music spun by Boom Gonzales of Magic 89.9. There’s no need to check the social networks about how terrible this monstrous Manila madness is. I’m in it, part of it, seemingly woven into it. Maybe I’ll check

This is a story about a love triangle. I’m sorry the title don’t make sense but that’s because most love triangle stories don’t. If you’ve noticed the trend, most love triangles now consists of 2 females and a male. Even the last big hit about two males, one was just biologically male. The Ton Ton Gutierrez vs. Goma to win Sharon or Edu Manzano vs. Christopher de Leon to win Vilma is so 80s. (The 90s was about Robin Padilla blasting a syndicate to win a Sharon/Vina, or Andrew E. kissing all the girls you can only fantasize about. Although on 90s TV, there always seem to be two guys fighting over Thalia.)
So back to my observation about the male centric triangle… Why?
My favorite vegetable since I was a child is Ampalaya. I never outgrew it. The bitterness that presses the brain down as the juice from crunchy gourd escapes and triggers the back side sensor of the tongue. I like it maybe because I have an insatiable sweet tooth. It either makes the sugar I devour sweeter or it lessens my guilt for eating too much cake. Cake is one of mankind’s greatest food invention. I mean it’s not a derivative of something that naturally exists in the world like salad. It’s like when we invented the simple bread, we knew that there must be something more to this! Cake is a proof of creativity, like music. Cake makers are like alchemist to a fan like me.
