one night, a creature of contradiction buried its fangs into my chest, making my heart skip not a few beats, leaving behind tell-tale marks that asked not a few questions about the nature of order and chaos.

in some dark alley, a harbinger of chaos strayed me into a labyrinth of streets in that unexplored city full of throbbing memories. it whispered some strange stories: spies being sent out to see the comings and goings at someone's door, secret departures and undeclared battles, ...

A close friend of mine recalled nights ago how one incident inside the jeepney gave her stomach muscle cramps the whole night from too much laughing (I might be exaggerating here but she did appear so swept away by it.)

Some nights ago, an old man rode the jeepney she was also riding. When the jeepney rounded at Sanciangko Street, the old man reached inside his pocket for coins but couldn't find one. So he handed the other passengers a bill and added, "Palihug ko. (To the driver ...
