Why say more than you ought? Learn to leave out some words that belabor expression. First of all I shall give you a lesson in Vocabulary, and last of all in Composition. Omit “of all” as it is unnecessary. I sought him throughout the whole country. Leave out “whole” because it’s already implied in “throughout”.…

It’s officially a holiday here today! Yehey! Since freedom without purpose is boring, I thought of listing some fun things I could do for the long weekend. Wanna have a peek? 1. Grab and wrap some ‘pasalubong’ for my family. I can imagine my sisters’ (and bro) smiles anticipating yummy chocolate bars! Nay and Tay…

Do you seem like losing track? Going back to where you’re from, Digging pain and stain of past, Either hurt, sick or aghast. Bury yesterday I say!

I hate history. We, who live in the past, cannot move ahead. Yet one professor in Phil History I clearly remember for her similarity to Korina Sanchez (hi, Ms. Tantengco!) in looks, in speech..and in notoriety flunking even prospective dean’s listers – made me put up with PNU’s dusty, jurassic, and sleep-inducing library. Prehistory was assigned to me. First year…

Cool breeze greeted my cheeks with its soft kiss as I opened the main door of the flat. Summer waned, winter has slowly crept in. “The best months are to come”, I heard myself say. Most cab drivers knew that many Filipinos are working in the UAE. One of them even happily said he preferred Pinay gfs…
