The Servant Song
Last Saturday morning found Lex and I at the Gesu, at the ordination to the Diaconate of his good friend and mentor, (now Reverend) Frank (he’s the one to the far right in the photo above c/o Bro. Ceci).
It was my first time to witness an ordination, and the atmosphere was one of celebration–rather different [...]

I’ve always believed that creativity was an inherent trait among Filipinos. Be it from the creativity exercised in the visual arts, to the creativity with which the tongue twists and turns tales to extricate oneself from sticky situations (in school, on the road faced with blue or yellow-clad men in uniform, or in thinking of [...]

Staying in poems.
I wrote a couple of poems when I stayed in last Friday night. The reason why I write gains more depth the more I come to terms with my swirling thoughts and emotions. It’s how I make sense and make peace.
Thank you to my muse (in more ways than inspiration).

Tambay lang muna.
This morning, as I was off to work, one of my neighbors asked me, “Papasok ka na sa opisina?”
Looking at myself, cap, slippers, wildly colorful blouse and college-days pants, I realized I didn’t quite look like your regular office drone. And thinking about the office, and my teammates (I can’t bring myself to call the [...]

Who says…
…that breeding is something you’re born with? Check out Peewee, the classiest askal a.k.a. mongrel I’ve ever seen. Whenever I see her, she’s sitting with her front paws crossed before her, her head held regally high. When I took this shot, she noticed me posturing in the distance, and she snobbishly turned her head away. [...]

And they were five.
Five albums in all, with about sixty photos in each (with the exception of the last album) is what kept me busy last Sunday evening. Going through all the photos brought back a rush of very happy memories. Check them out here: Album 1, Album 2, Album 3, Album 4, Album 5.

Rainy day writing
Staying in today (because of the storm outside), I took to writing a letter to one of my host parents in CT. It just struck me how different writing with a pen is from typing on a keyboard. Of course, the act of writing (and on a pretty notecard, no less) would be more deliberate. [...]

Ripening
I think I have one of the most scatterbrained minds. Thoughts fly by, and a gazillion big ideas just pop in my head. I’m grateful to be surrounded by people patient enough to listen to my crazy dreams, and be crazy enough with me. And somehow, some of these harebrained ideas have stuck around long [...]

In the pursuit of happiness…
We stumbled upon these words at the Rockefeller Center. And they just resonate for me.
*****
“I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every
opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.
I believe that the law was [...]
