  1. ISTORYA BLOG #108: Remembering the "Scorpion"

    Featured in WARRIOR PILGRIMAGE on January 9, 2011.

    I RODE ASTERN ON the motor tugboat, M/T Koala. The double-engined little tug crossed the Mactan Channel from Pier One, Port of Cebu, to the seas off Bagacay Point to rendezvous with another tug, the M/T Scorpion. It is May 23, 1986 and it is near dusk.

    Going back, I applied for a slot of apprentice marine engineer with the National Stevedoring and Lighterage Corp.1 (NSLC) where they own a fleet of tugs and barges. A ...

  2. We're always on the side of the animal that's being chased.





    The Rabbit, Hare, Bunny or whatever you call this little critter symbolises a lot of things. Love, luck, shyness, speed, growth, rebirth, creativity, family, awareness, perception, abundance, esoteric knowledge and uhm...,food etc. Their exterior of brain exploding fluffy cuteness made some of us, as kids, at one point, want to have one as a pet.


    Like any highly social animals, they ...

  3. Hang in there

    by , 01-02-2013 at 01:46 PM (A Recluse Out of the Hinterlands)
    We are too young to know that if we hang in there, our troubles, whatever they are, will pass.


    Of course, I do not believe that all problems will pass with time. However, one does have a point to think that MOST problems pass with time. It isn't that they simply disappear. It's just that with time, we somehow work them out or situations change in such a way that what was once a problem is no longer.

    The ability "to hang in there" is a big "IF". ...

  4. Crazy little thing called "writing"

    by , 12-29-2012 at 04:45 PM (A Recluse Out of the Hinterlands)
    While ultraviolet rays are merely invisible in my eyes, I was patiently waiting for the vehicle to start.
    I pulled up my phone from my pocket and tried to text some people, but despite, these days are considered zero like a well that has been dried up.


    As the jeepney started, I find myself engrossed in the most desperate thought: to write and draft topics.
    I was feeling a "writer" at the moment.


    I wouldn't mind passengers that come and ...

  7. Act of Being Patient

    Nobody will try to be patient anytime, instead most of us were eager into such thing or let say in any event and I can even consider myself too. A simple word "patience" is easy to understand you know "patience is a virtue" that’s what they say, but yet very hard to practice by most of individuals in fact no one would play their part in a hard way.

    Patience is one of the best weapon in facing the reality of life,
    and also teaches us to become strong and wise,
