I HAVE FOUND OUT that charity can be very contagious but without the mortal gravity of a viral endemic that I have known happening then and then again on the different parts of the globe. What it lacked in lethality though it gave up with more empathy and compassion...and much much love...

It all started as a one-man social action center in the hinterlands of Guadalupe two years ago and it won converts from Boy Toledo ...

Adrift in the sea of thoughts,
I ponder how I should describe my essence in it's present state.
I have been gloomy all this time,
thinking and thinking on things worth living.
Wounded by despair and anxiety, my soul is famished.
Still, I wonder, what might urged me to do things

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 ...

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.
