The tides finally embrace
Its long-time lover
Immaculately veiled
As it marches. White
Kisses soothing
The parched
And the laden.
The joy of the morning
And witnesses throng.
The sky’s tenderness,
spreading its golden feathers
Waving in jubilation.
With wind songs joined
In chorus by the seabirds
Of nature’s pure harmony.
With sun’s soft light
Sealed a promise
Of love’s eternity.
This secret place
of your shores.

Room gravitates with clacking sounds from T-square and triangles repelling each other at drafter’s boards. Blood races with time. Sweat drips left watermarks on vellum as inkblots nervously travels the maze of light pencil strokes. There were smudges of graphite dusting above the immaculateness of the paper that the fruity-smelled eraser had not breezed through. Then, forms of squares and [...]

A neighbor who lives nextdoor had a caged lovebird hanging in the hallway in our apartment. I was awakened one morning by its relentless chirping as if I was awakened by some familiar bird songs I once heard from my hometown’s parish church. There was a surging of long distant emotions that was laid dormant through all these [...]

She is [...]

I am sitting here. Stranger as I am. Finally, this is the freedom I always wanted. No one obliged me to be here. Just as my whole being in its truest moment. One with the wind and the sea.
I am sitting here. Just letting the blue sky engulf me. As I record each frame of [...]

Among the fireflies
lies a woman waiting ablazed
with her passion to love.
Like a Venus in her shell,
where nocturnal creatures lay
witness to her secret rendezvous.
She hums a melody
dispersing fear, hoping
for her knight to come.
But the knight will not come,
she knows.
She wanders. She dreams.
Of some galant prince
from a faraway kingdom
to take her away.
Of fairy godmothers
bestowing charm. [...]

Love
before sunrise…
I saw you there among the horizon, peering through the breaking of the first light. That gentleness like the morning star had me longing for more. More of you from the previous night. Let me embrace you like the feathery clouds in their afterglow. How serene am I in your bosom. Not a care in [...]

The world is one big classroom, I must say. And we are all the students learning how to figure out life’s great lessons. Just as we are looking at that big greenboard of countless possibilities of reading, of thinking, of testing ideas, of talking and of course, communicating.
We all sit there in our own chairs and [...]

Munad is the inverted name for “danum”, which in Ilocano (a Northern Philippine dialect) means water. Under Iwag Palattao’s direction alongside with Dato, a Baguio resident artist, they formed a visual artist group of five which included myself. I am the youngest and the least talented, and I don’t have that great artistic talent to venture out, other [...]

The sweet girl has finally became a complete woman. A mother. As I watch little Rian in the webcam, kicking the football toy held by his mom, I cannot hold back the tears from welling my eyelids. I am so happy with this friend who once had the sweetest smile, with her good-naturedness and hearty [...]
