Featured in www.pinoyapache.blogspot.com on October 8, 2010 IT IS SO HOT today. A perfect Sunday for training. Camp Red takes the trail of Napo to the Babag Mountain Range. Coming along is Dr. Abe Manlawe who is preparing himself for the Mount Apo climb with the Cebu Mountaineering Society come June. It is May 23, 2010. I am the trail master for today. Boy Toledo and Ernie Salomon will assist me and we will have two low-frequency handheld radios for this occasion. New ...
It never fails. Every classmate I had way back in college or high school never misses to make it part of their social interaction to ask me (come reunions and batch homecomings), "Are you married?" For the life of me, over the years, I have mastered and have come up with my rather suave-version-of-a-reply, "I'm not seeking. I'm just looking." I'm not about to discuss here my often epic fails at finding and keeping lasting relationships and bumping or rubbing elbows ...

i didn't join this job to look good or to brag about what i do. its just perks that comes with my job. my personal reasons went south when i realized that i joined this job to protect and bring home the people i work with. and no matter who you are or what branch of military service you are in. bring you back from the battle fields of Iraq, Afghanistan or where ever you in the globe is my reason to fight. this is the words that i would always tell my guys...

Whoever has not been beset with Hamlet's lines, "To be or not to be, that is the question"? We all, at many points in our lives, have found ourselves in the middle of a crossroad. With the many choices we have to make, our options are literally narrowed down (our own skill at deduction, put to the test) to two most difficult choices. Should I take this course or not? What if I follow my heart more than my mind? Will this hurt if I go through this? These are, more often than ...
"Without pain, one cannot write," so quips my Literature teacher way back in college. Like children with faces beaming and reflective that of a five-year-old (who just learned that they could make shake out of kamias), we asked our teacher, "What happens when there is no pain, Miss?" She simply answered, (matter-of-factly, as if her answer equates that of the knight's incessant question where the Holy Grail was), "then, slash yourself." There is something ...

Let's face it. Letting go sucks. It is that day when you realize that all your delusions about falling and staying in love with whom you once thought to be Mr. Right ends. What's worse, it just doesn't occur in a day. It is a journey of sorts, which either leads you wrapped with a straight jacket to the nearest mental ward or to the nearest Yoga center. Boy meets girl, or so I thought (if this is told in the point of view of the girl, where everything else, like in the movies, becomes ...
