(A poem by M. Angelou)
There are some nights when
sleep plays coy,
aloof and disdainful.
And all the wiles
that I employ to win
its service to my side
are useless as wounded pride,
and much more painful.

“Marlene says her son went into hiding because they knew they were up into an influential person - the victim’s father - and couldn’t possibly find justice in the country. But if her theory is to be believed, if in fact her son is the victim of a conspiracy, then wouldn’t his innocence be his [...]
Lately, my inner censor prevents me from blogging. I do keep a small notebook where my scribbles and outlines are contained but I wonder why I can’t compose a sensible entry. Psychologists, according to Erica Jong, has a more appropriate term for this. Flow state (characterized by the suspension of the sense of time, the [...]
Surprise, surprise! I got all excited this morning after seeing some old copies of National Geographic Journal at the market, dating as far back as 1977. So “high” the feeling was, I only left the stall after taking with me issues that belonged to the ’70s and ’80s era. My seeming affinity with antiques, relics [...]
Just for the fun of it, I recorded one of my favorite songs called “It’s too late” by Carole King. The song (from King’s Tapestry Album) bagged a Grammy’s in the ’70s. But hey, I wasn’t born yet at the time it became a hit. Take note of the lines that got flat. Haha. I was actually inspired when my husband posted his version of Beatles’ Oh Darling in his blog and so I came up with my own using my magic sing. Now you know how I sound like when I sleep at 2 am and wakes up at 6 the next day.
A courier service messenger came with a package for me the other day. This is unusual, I thought. I seldom receive gifts now that I’m a parent except from generous girl friends who happen to have the same initials (my kumareng M, and my good friend M). I was puzzled while alighting from the tricycle [...]
A Facebook friend’s status reads: “He who breaks a resolution is a weakling; He who makes one is a fool. (FM Knowles)”. Somehow it made me a bit hesitant to do a blog entry on this.
A resolution, most of the time is like a wick in an oil lamp, burning passionately at the beginning, then [...]
I unearthed two of the numerous poems my husband wrote for Faith and Elmo (almost a decade ago).
Baby Talk
(for our 4-month-old Elmo)
Ang sabi sa babasahin,
kausapin lang raw kita.
At maipupunla sa isip mo
ang mga binhi ng aking salita.
Maaani ng iyong dila
sa pagtanda, upang patalasin
ang bawat katagang
lalaya sa iyong bibig at diwa.

We had a simple but the best Christmas this 2009. This is memorable for us because in the past we spend the season away from each other.
I posted some of our pictures here.
Have a blessed and joyous Christmas! Cheers!
How far can one go to feed his obsession has always been a mystery to me. What does it take to be socially acceptable? Does excessive love for beauty justify murder? To what extent will you go to keep beauty within your grasp?
These questions bugged me after watching Perfume: The story of a Murderer. Perfume [...]
