A Nook in Baguio

THE SUNDOWN and the foggy atmosphere surround the forgotten toys as I reflect on the memories tied to them. One thing is certain: everything seems unchanged, hopefully for the better. Yet the remembrance of this place eludes me, as does the time I truly inhabited through capturing this moment. The…

Seek refuge, wearied soul

Seek refuge, wearied soul for the times have taken a toll Your face deserves a gentle kiss Of the countryside’s breeze   Let the sand immerse your toes Let it calm your sole sore from all the chase   Slowly approach the coast inch by inch until you are soaked…

Revenge Bedtime Procrastination

IT SEEMED pointless to stay up late, tonight of all days. There were no quizzes, discussion boards or assigned readings.  But when I fell onto my bed, sleep did not come easy. My mind could not help but dwell on all the things I had left unfinished. My feet were…

As Dawn Hits

Heal thy troubles and woes  Knock on their wooden hearts Wipe tears with their cotton hems Plead to their beady eyes Heal sorrows with strands of hair   For when dawn hits No place is safe again   When everything is refused Cease to question yourselves When you refuse to…

A heartfelt revelation

Photo by Jessica Luna/ THE FLAME EVERY 1st of November, my mother always insists on traveling from our hometown all the way to Cabanatuan. I never knew why we had to travel that far just to attend a mass, let alone was I interested enough to ask. Today is the…
