lent
Mt. Palay-palay, April 5, 2012. SMS from a distant relative (April 3, 2012, 6:58PM): The season of LENT reminds us that the life we have and the material possessions we hold are simply LENT to us. We are but pilgrims here on earth who will pass by only once. We bring nothing when we die. [...]

…and my world was stirred…
Michelle called me up to meet Bong at his office. She was clueless what the meeting was for. All she knew was Bong filed his leave early today. He is taking the week off from work. Michelle only shrugged her shoulders when I met her along the corridor to Bong’s office. Bong had file folders [...]

when my world stopped before i did
I was dead tired when I arrived home. My wife welcomed me but I brushed her aside. I asked how the children were and without waiting for an answer, I headed to our bedroom. I just kicked off my shoes, removed my tie and threw it at the bedside table. Then I immediately dozed off. [...]

Bumubulong-bulong siyang tumakbo sa kuwartong nasa itaas. “Anong problema nun?” baling ko sa kanyang ina na kasalukuyang naglalagay ng mga pinggan sa hapag-kainan. “Hindi binigyan ni Jojo ng pambili ng dagdag na regalo,” sagot ni Gina habang iniaayos ang mga [...]

REPOST: puga(s)
Hunyo 12, 2010 Mahal kong Cora, Kumusta ka na? Sana ay parati kang nasa mabuting kalagayan. Maayos naman ako dito maski papano. Ipagpaumanhin mo na ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob na sumulat pagkaraan ng halos isang taon. Sana ay humupa na ang iyong galit at hinanakit sa akin. Hindi na ako magpapaliwanag. [...]
