After All, We’re Only Human April 26, 2011

It’s the middle of the night, I have so many things pending, I should be getting ready for another day of work and yet, I’m writing away my frustrations. Some things haven’t changed.  And the sad thing is that I don’t think it ever will. It’s as if the question I’ve been asking myself since [...]

The long and winding road November 7, 2010

That leads…to where? I guess all we’re looking for is some kind of assurance that we are in fact going somewhere. Maybe that’s why there’s religion. It gives a sense of comfort, of feeling secure, that we’re not just…aimless wanderers waiting for death. But in the end, what ARE we waiting for? What are we [...]

Where is it now, the glory and the dream? September 23, 2010

I’m really, really trying to believe that there’s a plan out there for me. But as days pass and nothing happens (nothing but rejection), I’m starting to believe that there isn’t. Maybe there IS a plan out there for everyone who was meant to have it–and some, like me, are probably just accidents that fate [...]

Universe and You September 8, 2010

So Venus is in my seventh house and I think I’ll have a fit of self-indulgent mushiness because my romance factor is up and I should make the most of it. Yes, I read horoscopes now. Really interesting. But I digress. You know, sometimes, I want to feel that something. It must feel nice because [...]

Of course I’ll be all right, I just had a bad night July 15, 2010

On the Sidelines May 5, 2010

If there is anything I take away from my four Philosophy courses, it is the question of existence. In the end, the question we all ask ourselves is, what is the point of living? My Philosophy of Religion teacher asked our class this question: If taking your own life is so easy, then what’s stopping [...]

Drunk and Throwing Up April 2, 2010

Drinking has become a part of my daily routine. I wake up at 2 pm and by 8, I’m drinking already. I guess it’s the effect of having friends and neighbors who live nearby and are unemployed, just graduated, on summer vacation, and have nothing to do. The question is, why? Why is alcohol consumption [...]

And that was the Ateneo. March 4, 2010

I think the title says it all. Maybe I’ll write another entry when I’m feeling less… muddled. Ironically, I am officially cleared.

Senior’s Syndrome? February 9, 2010

Okay so here I am, finishing up three business plans, two orals, three long tests, and stressing myself over and over again and all for what? Are any of these things guarantees that life after graduation will be better? The truth is that none of them are. Nothing guarantees happiness. So what’s the point in [...]

South of the border, west of the sun. January 24, 2010

Hello blog! I’m back after five months. I really do miss blogging. I was reading through all my past posts and depressive though they were, I’m still glad I wrote them. It really does feel good to have an outlet. And even though that depressive phase is over (hopefully), there’s still the feeling of fulfillment [...]
