Marami pala akong di namamalayan.   Maraming pangyayari sa kasaysayan ang di ko pala nasusubaybayan. Maraming usapang may katuturan ang di…

  • The Red Tent

  • Yin Vibes

    ·

    Dark. Negative. Passive. Moon. Feminine. That’s what Yin means. Immobile. Constrained. Just like a pupa: never feeding..never moving. Maybe I lack plans. Or worse, I seem to lack direction. I don’t want this loneliness to eat my being. Not now. Contentment or complacency? Maybe I am not thankful enough. My sense of balance has probably…

  • Gising, Nay.

    ·

    I’m grateful I got home safely. Salat man sa pasalubong na karaniwang inaasahan sa nagbabalik-bayan, nakakatuwang masaya naman ang pamilya ko sa pagsundo sa akin mula sa paradahan ng jeep. Nagkwentuhan. Naglitratuhan. Nagtawanan. Nagkainan. Nabanggit din lang ang kainan, daig ko pa ang nagdadalantaong naglilihi kung makahirit: “Nay, Mais.. mani.. mangga..” ang ilan sa aking…
