While waiting for a friend earlier at the park, I couldn’t help but notice the number of homeless, old people there. One particular old lady sat there looking as if she did not get enough sleep the night before. Maybe because it was raining real hard last night. I noticed a taho vendor stop beside … Continue reading
Ever since my first year in college, this has been my everyday’s last mental image of Bicol University College of Arts Letters. My friends and I would always leave BU when the sun is down. The Pyramid, which actually looks like a turtle when you’re seeing from the BU Pillars, is a favorite tambayan (hangout place) for … Continue reading
Maybe you noticed that I haven’t been uploading or pasting anything here. I was on the hospital for days (and it was slightly bad). My platelet count was slightly low, I had cough (and phlegm that I can’t get out), and on and off fever. I took this photo the night I asked ma and my … Continue reading
So earlier, we got a visit from Journalism Class 2011 (who are now based in Manila and Leyte). This is probably the fastest day of my Day To Day days. We talked all afternoon, remembered the days when they were still in college, and danced to the beat of everything they played at McDonald’s. But … Continue reading
So earlier, I needed to take a walk and I just took these guys for an unplanned trip around Daraga (or wherever it was). The thing is, I think I flunked the midterm exam in Investigative Journalism two days ago (come on, who would not need a walk after not having anything on his test … Continue reading
If you think I’d grow tired of this menu… think… again. Just near our house (and where I used to work) is a silogan (sinangag, itlog/fried rice, egg). My friends and I would always order bulaksilog (chicharon bulaklak/pig intestines). “Always” means we are bad customers; we never give the other stuff in the menu a … Continue reading
The first time I heard about the nutrients in maluggay (Moringa oleifera, or horseradish), I was in high school. Our Biotechnology teacher was selling Malunggay polvoron (shortbread). That was in 2008 (it may have started in 2007). My classmates and I even joked that someday there will be other products with malunggay as the main … Continue reading
I haven’t been blogging here on WP for days. Anyway, the day after my last post here, I was with birthday girl Uwe, Elaine, Jeff, Zandra, Tin, Jom, Abby. It was my Uwe’s birthday last 7th, so on the 8th, we all went out for pizza. It wasn’t just pizza. We pigged-out on three types of … Continue reading
Today was fun. White Out, the symposium where students talk about how plastics (white pollution) affect the environment, and the creatures in it, was revived by new organizers. Last year, we started White Out: The Green-Minded Revolution. We’ve been in three Bicol University campuses and an elementary school in Sorsogon. Months after that, the ban … Continue reading
Everyone close to me know pretty well that I love my magazine collection. And the magazines that I treasure more than anything else that I own: my National Geographic collection! Recently, many have been asking me if they could borrow National Geographic magazines from me. Since the day that I realized that I am losing … Continue reading
