Thank you N


It finally ended on a warm balmy night.
When he finally left us, the rain poured.
Maybe he left me earlier when I was not looking
Or was not minding that he tip toed out of that room
and finally was freed from all the pain and suffering.
That was what I was afraid of,
That I didn't see him.
I was looking hard.
But I didn't see him.
I wished I looked at him for soul and spirit.
Not just body and function.
But he was bigger than me in terms of soul.
I know that because he is on my mind and I am crying.
I did not conquer him but he conquered me.
For so little a body he had so much soul and spirit.
I grope for reasons why it is so hard to get what you want.
But the present has no reasons and answers.
The reasons and answers will just come in time.

Thank you N for coming into my life.

Bonds shared by mortal men last longer than time.

Pity the Church

Long ago I would believe what my priest tells me during sermons because I believed that they have stood for what is right all the time. But after they have loose their moral credibility during the Garci scandal, I have lost my trust. I still have my faith, but them men in robes do not have integrity for me anymore. And so in these calls by the church in Bicol against mining and casino plans, I pity the priests involve. They have lost moral credibility so how can they call for such now.

Baha sa Boracay; The new Venice of Asia,


This picture was taken around 10 am while sipping avocado mango shake at Jonah's and watching tourist wade through seawater which reached the railings of the juice bar. You can see Willy's rock in a distance.


In an uncontrolled growth spurt, the resort island is finding itself sinking with the new influx of building frenzy of luxury hotels at the station one, beach side. There is always a price for progress. But hey, did we really want progress to wind its darkside into paradise.

Locals have complained that during the feast of St. John the Baptist, seawater reached the road, flooding the establishments on the beach. Slowly mother nature is reclaiming the paradise it has given the Filipinos. All because we do not know how to take care of it. I believe a little bit of planning and thinking and conscience could avert the looming catastrophe. This is my first visit to the island when I was not able to walk the whole stretch of beach from Diniwid to station 3. I even noticed that there were new rock formations near Diniwid beach but sadly it was because the cliff gave in during one of the storms.

Tourists have to wade through seawater where the beach were once. The resorts along station one built seawalls. Ha ha ha. This is the end of Boracay as I know it.

PGMAs 3,400% increase in income

Supposing it's really from the stock market increasing your income from 7 million to 155 million in eight years is phenomenal. I just hope the president actully tipped all of us which stocks to buy para sana ganun din ang increase ng income natin. Alin kaya ang stock na magandang bilhin? If that's how much money can be made in the Philippine Stock market, then why are there no investors?

How Dare We Complain!

I am disgusted of people who talk of hoping to come back to martial law days. I am appalled when they say it was better during those days. I think it was better for them, but not for me. Do they really mean deep in their hearts what they are hoping for?
