Catharsis

My head is a far cry from reality A place where hearts can wear out Freely, openly, realistically Where today is ours to keep As every other tomorrow will be    Among our pocket-sized visions Are remnants of my ambitious ones  Within which I conceal my fervor Within which you…

Santan during sundown

It was dark outside as days went by quicker during October. I walked down the alleyway to my apartment after a tiring day. A bloomed santan caught my eye. Its crimson-red color is still the same as it used to be. Similar to the red cigarette I had on my…

Mas Mahal ni Tatay si Emman

HINDI ITO mapapansin sa paghuma ng araw. Mistulang kailangan lang ito kapag aalahanin. Mabigat, magaan, komplikado at minsan bitak-bitak. Hindi gaya ng gripo na maaaring paikot-ikutin at basta-basta na lang gagalawin. Bawal ito hawakan kung wala kang lisensiya, mamaya madisgrasya ka pa. Iba-iba rin ang klase ng manibela, kapag nakakabit…

Sorbetes

GA-GRADUATE NA ng kolehiyo si Jun. Sa wakas, matatapos na rin ako sa pagpapaaral. Sa kabila nito, parang mas gusto ko na lang na manatiling tagabayad ng matrikula. Nang makaalis ng kolehiyo, isa-isa nang nagsipag-alisan sa bahay ang aking mga supling… naglalakbay, nagsisilang ng sarili. Uuwing paminsan-minsan, padalang nang padalang.…

KASALUKUYANG NAGPUPULONG ang student council ukol sa palatuntunang isasagawa sa nalalapit na anibersaryo ng pagkakatatag ng paaralan. Sinusubukan din nilang mangalap ng pondo para sa mga proyekto. Sa gitna ng diskurso, naglabas ng suhestiyon ang presidente ng konseho, at may alaalang nangibabaw sa isip ng prinsipal. Kumakaripas ng takbo ang…
