This is an old entry from my old livejournal, dated 06 April 2009. Four years ago. I just finished Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods.” I admit that I am not a big fan of mythology, as much as my sister...
This is an old entry at my old livejournal, dated 11 January 2009. That’s more than four years ago. I don’t want another The Lovely Bones. I should have bought something else when I saw that...
“The manifestation of the design of the food appears vermicular and adds attraction to the new addition to the menu.” -some food blogger describing the swirly mayonnaise on some new sandwich. Ask...
Perhaps you’ve seen the delight and, sometimes, panic of many self-proclaimed readers whenever they are asked to enumerate their favorite books. Delight because it brings about a surge of memories...
When Buccino was New Zealand, my tendency for sadness and insecurity doubled. So we made up an exercise where we would list ten or so things that we feel blessed for. The list goes from mundane (I...
I fail to understand that I might not be as mediocre as I think. In the past, I took so much time nursing the imagined grandiosity of my flaws that I forgot to nurse my better talents. I know it’s...
Fine Print or Not Quite As Because I am starting this journal again, I have the ability to shape it into whatever idea I want it to be. Right now, I think, that idea would be to write about...
This is a reproduction of this essay by William Zinsser. I am going to use this as my creed from now on. Clutter is the disease of American writing. We are a society strangling in unnecessary...
A blank slate. That’s what I have in this blog/ domain now. Apart from my entries in the previous website, I lost my Education Portfolio that I used for graduate school, my most personal of the...
I do not exactly know what I look like. I am 27 years old and I still get surprised at my face whenever I see myself in the mirror. It got to a point where I sometimes think that it is a stranger...
“It makes me smile that people think I am NOT adventurous.” I once tweeted that after those not-so-sober weeknights. If I remember correctly, it was one of those nights that the people who spent...
When I tell people that I am in a long distance relationship, people feel the need to ask me questions most of the time. “Is it difficult?, How do you know he’s not cheating on you? When is he...

Dear Friend’s Secret Lover, Perhaps you think that the circumstances play well on your favor; the benefits of your relationship seem to outweigh all the other things: he’s funny, he’s charming, he...
Dear Zaldy*, Sometimes in my loneliness, I imagine I am meeting my future husband for the first time. He is walking towards me on a bridge, his hand clasping a small black sling bag and his eyes...
Part of the skills that I had been trying to teach my class was the art of questioning. I wanted my students to learn how to ask questions while they read a text. In order for them to fully...
I keep a lot of metaphors for the people in my life. Buccino can be my magnetic north, the life of my compass. My twin sister can be the lifejacket, that without her I do not know how to keep my...
Sometimes I do not know whether I should remind people that I feel lost and placeless. Most of the time, I still do not know where I am going. I feel like a derelict ship floating aimlessly...
Since acquainting myself with the powers of instagram, which is really really late into the game, I seem to never get enough of it. I have become extra annoying on twitter daily because I always my...
~this year is gonna be incredible. This year is gonna be the one. All the planets are lining up for me. This year, I’m gonna have fun. Chantal Kreviazuk, This Year Guys, I have a new job! Whenever...
You can’t trust people so much. I had an ex-boyfriend who used to check calls I made by hacking into my former Globe line account which allowed him to see my bill. I cannot say whether that...
Perhaps in the future we will be tired of each other. We will understand what many things mean, what it means to lose this giddy feeling, what it means to love the person you dislike. We will...
The problem with you, darling, is that you are easy. You’ve always been. You can tell others that you are manipulative but after everything is done, they would realize how petty you really were. It...
> While you are away I will be stronger in my loneliness, and when you return I will rebuild a house of happiness. -Eric Gamalinda, Sutra. (an excerpt) It has become a joke in my previous office...
This is a copy and paste version of DC’s post: The Hundreds Project. I am just sharing it because I am a fan of the flash fiction and stuff like these make me generally happy. From Diane’s Blog: It...
It excites me that a lot of people are excited about this more than I expected. Buccino’s mom, Kath, some friends, and then some more friends seem to be more excited than we are. Not that I am...
Buccino left for New Zealand with a part of their house still under construction for this new restaurant. Buccino’s mom invited Kathrina and me for dinner one time so we got to see it before...
One of the folders I have for one of my classrooms. I wrote notes on it when I realized that the class required a different approach to learning. Notice my smiley in the note. I believe that the...
I look like a little girl in this picture. I’m almost 30 (or I am exaggerating.) Photo Credit: Dewey Sergio. (He’s a genius!) Last Sunday, several of members of our photography group and another...
April has proven to be one of the most “important” months, in terms of my emotional growth. So much has happened last month that I am still catching my breath for it. I am posting a couple more...
