Note: This is gonna be a very very thinly veiled sort of “metaphor” (excuse me if I used the wrong word, it might be another figure of speech) for somethings that I first tried out this year. Mind…

Song of Maria Clara
Sweet are the hours in one’s native land
Where all is dear, the sunbeams bless
Life-giving breezes sweep the strand
And death is softened by love’s caress
Warm kisses play on her mother’s lips
On her fond, tender breasts awakening
When around her neck, a soft arm slips
And bright eyes, all love partaking
Sweet is death for one’s native land
Where all is dear,...

Letting go of the chains that bind me, only to free fall head first back into reality. Later!
Life or Something Like It, Part 2
Cuatro de Agosto, 2011. jueves
For the first time in the semester (and academic year), I slept in the AS lobby. And for the first time in weeks, I was in that calm place again, where I had nothing on my mind at all. I miss those days, when I didn’t have to think during my time off, and when I get bored, I can think about things that I want to think of, things that I want to busy myself...

Dos de Agosto, 2011. martes
I’ve been thinking lately. About life. About my life. And I started asking questions and questions, why this, why that, et cetera, et cetera. Like an exam, I skipped some questions where I didn’t have an answer yet. Then, the biggest question came. “Where do you want to be?” Trying to answer that one question unraveled everything. I started...

Mi último adiós
¡Adiós, Patria adorada, región del sol querida, Perla del mar de oriente, nuestro perdido Edén! A darte voy alegre la triste mustia vida, Y fuera más brillante, más fresca, más florida, También por ti la diera, la diera por tu bien. En campos de batalla, luchando con delirio, Otros te dan sus vidas sin dudas, sin pesar; El sitio nada...

Veinteinueve se Julio, 2011. viernes

You walk along the middle of the University Avenue, Quezon Hall behind you, the lights of Philcoa in front of you.
Right in the middle of an intersection, you stop walking, face the sky, feel drops of water on your face, and shout at the...
