I like being alone.
I like drinking coffee alone, and reading alone.
I like riding the bus alone, and walking home alone.
It gives me time to think, and set my mind free.
I like eating alone, and listening to music alone.
But when I see a mother with her child;
A girl with her lover;
Or a friend laughing with their best friend;
I realize that even though I like being alone
I don’t fancy being lonely.

Before this day ends.
10 Reasons to be grateful:
1. I work two stable jobs—one in a public high school, another one in a Korean academy. I get really exhausted every single day of my life and most of the time I complain about the tediousness of the responsibilities I’ve been taking in both institutions, but I’m happy because this means I still have the energy to use to keep...

Filipino is the “language of the streets” – “how you spoke to the tindera when you went to the tindahan, what you used to tell your katulong that you had an utos, and how you texted manong when you needed sundo na.” These lines, found in a “Manila Bulletin” column now circulating on social media, aroused sentiments that champion the Filipino language Thursday as the nation...
”So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons…But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there…I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won’t tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn’t change the fact that they were upset. And even if...

How ironic that the women most affected by the decisions of political and religious leaders about their wombs and sexual behavior, are accorded the least say on their expressed need for reproductive health services. Although it is their lives that hang in the balance, celibate males and conservative Catholic laity unabashedly speak for them in these matters. Let...

Of Whiteheads and Coffee Stains
The sky was partly cloudy and people were waiting for a bus to stop right in front of the loading/unloading zone. I was thinking about what I could have ridden to get to a particular restaurant where my friend and I had lunch a couple of hours before we decided to go watch a foreign film.
A few minutes from then and it was starting to rain. I stood along the sidewalk with a friend and we...
