Balik-Tanaw: Naaalala Mo Pa Ba Ang “ALAPAAP” CONTROVERSY ng Eheads Noong 90′s?
One day in the year of the pig, August 1995, nagising si Tito Sotto sa maling puwesto ng kanyang kama.

Naalimpungatan siya at nasira ang tulog, bigla nalang may pumasok sa kanyang kukote -“Eureka! Parang pang-adik ‘yung kantang ‘yun ha.”. Nagulat nalang ako isang umaga ng Dekada NoBenta nang makita sa teevee ang mga bandang sumisikat noong mga…

Ang Lalakeng nakaputi
Madaling araw na namang nakauwi si Isabella sa kanyang up and down na pamamahay na siya, dalawang katulong at isang driver lamang ang nakatira. Malakas ang ulan sa labas, pero dahil napayungan siya agad ng mga naghihintay na yaya, ni isang patak ay hindi siya nabasa. Isa iyon sa mga batas niya sa bahay na ito, malaki naman ang pinapasahod niya sa katulong kung kaya naman ay handang handa ang mga ito na gawin ang…

A True Pinay!
We go through life mostly in a trance, we pass by our day-to-day lives in a series of moments, some we remember, some we forget, because they all become so mundane and so ordinary.

Home Maker or Money Maker
(My unique way of greeting all the father out there this Father’s Day) President Barack Obama in one of the interviews of the Ladies’ Home Journal on Sept, 2008 has said, “The best judge of whether or not a country is going to develop is how it treats its women.

100 Things that make Me Smile
Wrote (or typed) this on April 2, 2011 I just read an Afro-Asian piece of literature (can’t remember if it’s Chinese or Japanese), and the author listed things which he finds pleasurable. Figured I do something similar. These things are rated into four categories: 1, 2, 3, and 4. 1 are the things which occur quite rarely, and 4 are the things which always occur. This is a list of 100 things that make me smile,…

THIS ENTRY WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED ON DECEMBER 2, 2009: Thanks to the perpetrators behind the Maguindanao killings, the Philippines is more dangerous to visit than Iraq. We are now top ranked in the list of terrorist countries of the world. Yung ginamit kong passport papunta dito sa Saudi ay may nakalagay na “Not Valid for Travel to Iraq”.

THIS ENTRY WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED ON OCTOBER 29, 2009 Noong junior years ko sa St. John’s Acdemy, isa sa mga pastime ko during breaks ay ang magbasa ng ERAPtion.
