Special Kind of Boring
Sometimes, I wish I could be a better person and not this half-assed excuse of light and dark. I wonder why you’d want to be with me. I’m an emotional blackhole every month. I’m this kind of person you don’t really know until you try. I’m this brand of boring on any other day. You…

Morning, 24th
If I had stopped when I had the chance to have not loved you as I should not, would this future change? Or would it still be this: another verse, another song this of sorrow and painful regret? — In my head, I call him a thousand names. My hands touched him a thousand times.…

Sahigaan
Months happened Along lightyears, between Celestial space; Dawn broke upon The purple haze clouding My head; Time and space Ran across the yard And I think I loved you In the lifetimes spent Across my bed.

Regalia
Night shades swinging on The rooftops hovering Above my head; Whistling things on wings Sounding like carols From heavenly choirs; The toymaker runs the night On mammal-powered engines And imaginings; I’m stuffed to the brim Sitting by the keys Hearing your voice singing Across the Milky Way.

Mataas na Paaralang Pang-Agham ng Maynila
I graduated from MSHS. It’s a school located along Taft Avenue and it is home to some strangely normal people. Not that it’s anything noteworthy but the people there aren’t exactly what people assume them to be. When we were in high school, we were also subjected to the usual drama. Every once in a…

Dekada Nobenta
Ako’y bente-anyos na. Dalawang dekada na ang alaala ng 90’s. Tulad ng mga imbang martial law babies (80’s children), may sarili ring angking ka-weird-uhan ang mga bata ng henrasyon ko. Siguro, wala kaming maipagmamalaking people power o kaya mga iniyakang radio-drama. Wala rin kaming alam tungkol sa toning water at nutri-bun. Kung tutuusin, marami pa…

Ob(e)session
Ang random ng maraming bagay sa mundo. Pero sabi ng pari kanina, kasali raw ang lahat sa iisang grand plan. Sa tingin ko, kulang lang sa vetsin ang buhay o di kaya’y masyadong malaki ang canvas na inilaan para sa ating lahat. Kaya ‘di pa ako kinakabhan dumating ang 2012, marami pa kasing space na…

S(w)ervice
When the world was younger and smaller than how I see it now, there had always been a pot of gold at the end of the proverbial rainbow. Consequently, it was never quite clear which rainbow everyone had been talking about. As I pranced through jumpers and flared denims, the world started to lose a…
