Kwentuhan Tayo
Ang hirap magsulat kapag matagal kang natengga. Actually, ang mahirap ay yung makapagsulat ng magandang piyesa. So isasantabi ko muna ang pagpiga ng aking utak at magkukwento na lang ng aming misadbentyurs. Umuwi kasi ako, nagbakasyon ng saglit. Dalawang linggo. Pero andaming nangyari. Epic.

Mga Kaganapan at Mala Exorcism na Hilot
Andaming ganap sa buhay ko. Kape sa umaga, kape bago magtanghali, kape matapos mananghalian, kape bago magmeryenda, kape ulit ang meryenda. Sa sobrang dami ng kaganapan sa buhay ko, kape na lang ang nasa utak ko. Nasaan na ang paghihirap ko nung Oktubre na halos maipasok ako sa Coffee-holics Anonymous para lang maiwasan ang pagkakape?…

Island Guys – Doctor Quail
It was a slow and easy Sunday and my mind was wandering while I was in the morning briefing. It was the ‘around the table’ time and it was our time to bring our news or any info to the table. My turn came and I didn’t have anything important to say. I then listened…

Nasa airport ako no’n at nakapila na para magcheck-in sa counter ng Singapore Air (inemphasize ang airline dahil gusto ko magmukhang sosyal) ng marinig ko ang usapan ng mag-asawang Puti at Pinay.

Magpapahiram na nga lang, Pipila Pa
Nagpunta ako sa bangko para panandaliang ipahiram ang aking perang pinaghirapan sa napakayaman nitong may-ari nang sa ganoon ay patuloy pa itong makapamili ng madaming lupa at makapagpatayo ng madaming mall. Pagdating ko sa bangko ay ga-sawa ang pila. Bilang nagtapos naman ako sa unibersidad na tinawag na Pila Uli Pila ay mani na lang…
