IT IS FATHER'S DAY, June 21, 2009.

I am going up to Mount Babag today and I am alone.

Yeah, alone...

...again.

I have no problem walking alone. I find good therapy in the silence and I love the sound of my voice. I talk to myself. Yes, hum a song. Imitate a bird call. That's what you do when you're bored.

From my home, I rode a public jitney in the ...

Coffee drinkers are more likely to see dead people



According to a research, heavy coffee drinkers are more likely to have hallucinations or feel "the presence of dead people,". A UK-based study quizzed 200 students on their caffeine intake and found those with the highest consumption were also more prone to report seeing, or hearing, things that were not there.

AFTER AN ABSENCE OF more than a month, I am reunited again with Boy Toledo, of Ernie Salomon and, later, with Manwel Roble. Here we are again, maintaining our physical conditioning program walking the mountain trails of Napo to Mount Babag in the middle of an ongoing tropical depression! Just three has-beens so madly in love with these trails. The same three has-beens that would shame guys 25-30 years our junior in a test ...

Sama sa gapnod kung molabay ang panahon. Gutlo lamang ang agian - ang lagiti sa kainit sa adlaw mahimong maghitak na sa tubig nga binanlas sa ulan. Ang tuba nga anaa sugong nga nagbitay sa palwa sa lubi nga nahilakdan sa buwan sa makadaghang higayon nga wa panumbalinga - mamahimong aslom inay tanlas sa katam-is.

I SAW TODAY, November 6, 2009, the felling or the sentencing to death, so to speak, of a jackfruit tree and a mango tree, both full grown and in the prime of their existence, because it gets in the way of a hotel rising in Cebu. Too bad, I wished I have trees as big as those in my lot.

I have tasted their sweet fruit only this year because this is the year that they have started to bloom well, thanks to the ...

My heart longs for happiness
It has buried me in deep sadness
Longing myself to regain it

My heart longs for security
For it has been shattered and molded

Countless times have I shared to others
But ended myself in grief

My heart longs for confidence
Long have I pursued that lifelong dream
Yet reality hurts even more

My heart longs for realization ...
