My Alma Matter - Holy Name University ( formerly Divine Word College)

I used attend school here, some 5 years ago.

I've walked its aisles, lined in the lobby during payment period before exams, and sweated in its gym. I danced in its stage ( during P.E. dance class), loitered in its empty classrooms and learned to put  on make up in the mirrors of its ladies rooms.

Why I Hate The PUJs in Cebu

I've never owned a car in my life. Reasons: 1.I don't know how to drive; and 2. I don't have the motivation to learn because I don't have the moolah to get a car. That is why I had to suffer the consequences of having to commute- along with thousands of Cebuanos- everyday.

Reflections of a Prodigal Daughter

from her deep slumber she awakens
to he shrill cries of her child,
she slips from her warm covers
and check on the baby she loved so well
to give all the tenderness she thought that you might need
telling you to hush,
and that she'll shoo away the monsters
that had come to haunt you in your sleep,
to let you know that mama is there to care.

Day and night he toils
to be bring forth the fruits of the soil
a labor of love or all his sons
to show them that some things could become grand
out of a cunning hand.
with his plow he braved the sun
until his sweat boils;
with his word he beckons the moon
til his dreams will be their dreams.

First Rain

The earth bursts into a joyful song,
Like wet tongues on parched lips
When th first drops touch soil,
As it quenched its thirst after a long summer spell.

With open arms earth embraces heaven's tears
Eager to welcome the new season,
Like the traveller who yearns
a refreshing bath to cleanse the soul
after a long, long journey

Ah, the beauty of first rain.

Same Sex Romance

I was riding the jeepney one day, when a couple of women hailed it and boarded. One was a real looker- long waves of locks, attractive eyes, flawless skin; while her companion is average looking,  with shortish hair, big shirt. When I disembarked from the jeepney, they went down too. That's when I knew that they were my new neighbors.
