A week ago I was lucky to have been invited to the 6th RAFI Triennal Awards. An award giving body that recognizes individuals and institutions from Visayas and Mindanao for their respective efforts in improving the lives of the marginalized and in community building. I've attended several award giving ceremonies in the past and after those events I could only come up with...
If you've been following my blog you probably already know about what happened the first time we went to the riverside. I had a nightmare the night it happened. In my dream I woke up with an unbearable hunger and when I went to the kitchen the crazy person was washing the dishes and creepily smiled at me. The lights were off. But the...
Probably the only time I'm outside the house is when I run errands for my Mom or when I come up with project proposals to my unemployed friends.

I'm still mad about what happened days ago. Don't worry I won't go into detail but this is by far the most typical conflict in nearly every poor, working class to middle class Filipino family out there and it's maddening because it's predictable.You know damn well how I hate cliches and when your life starts to become like one, oh God! Spare me...
Blog. Why can't I do such thing? A few years ago I can write 10 blog posts a day. Six of them are news articles, two are feature and the rest are personal but now? Now, I've got nothing!
