“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”

- Bob Marley

Sometimes, I wish I could read everybody’s mind so I can find out how people feel about me. But unfortunately, only Professor X has such power. And he’s just some by-product of someone else’s wild imagination.

Maybe being powerless was the reason why you are one of the very few people I granted passage into my life. You’ve seen every atom of my dreams catching up with my reality. You’ve walked upon my grayest alley until my very last shabby corner. But there among the rubbish, you stayed, and cultivated a life. You told me things won’t always be beautiful, and I should find comfort in it. I wish I could just believe that.

One day I will stop asking questions. But maybe not now. In this vast universe, enigmas are scattered everywhere like they belong nowhere. But you…  you are always somewhere in my mind.

Direct from the Studios of…

Have you ever wondered what’s going on inside an artist’s studio, aside from being makalat hehe? Take a peek inside the inner sanctums of contemporary Filipino artists Christina Quisumbing Ramilo, Maya Munoz, Romeo Lee and Leroy New. And see the place where their art was first conceived…

After discovering the artists’ private spaces, I realized that though the saying “no man is an island” is true, we sometimes need time to be alone, just be with our self. Happiness need not be shared all the time. There is a solitary kind.

Sumilon and Oslob Butandings

“I know it’s wrong but I love the way you touch me.”

Oslob, a picturesque town about three hours away from Cebu City, finally found its dot on the Philippine map for its gentle butandings and beautiful Sumilon Island. Regular cost for whale shark watching is P500 per person, while side trip to Sumilon is P2,000 per boat good for maximum of eight persons. Entering the Sumilon Island Resort for day use, inclusive of lunch, will entail additional damage of P2,000 per person.
