Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008I know the importance of current events. To know the happenings around you is not only beneficial, it makes you belong to this order of people who think and who care. This may sound a bit elitist but relatively it’s true. But who would have thought o…
out of school
Friday, October 17th, 2008Yes, I’ve been lounging in our house for almost a week exam-free, article-free and basically everything that involves the university. It’s not that I’ve longed to get out of college (heck no, I wanted to extend it pa gani), but I am just enjoying…
camera whores
Thursday, October 9th, 2008There are only a few good photographers in campus and I think there are only two of them. That may not be a good thing but it’s definitely better than none. What’s bad (and sad) is that the two are leaving for good. Primy Cane and Leon Medado, bot…
our lampoon issue
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008The Weekly Sillimanian (tWS), now in its 105th year, is still on the run, still on its toes, and still grilled by both orthodox and heretics. On our last issue for this semester, we just have to give you the hiccups and sorry in advance for the semi-in…

togas
Sunday, September 21st, 2008The truth is we were not exactly sure the real event would grant us to wear these gowns on March. We were not sure if these covered the goosebumps on our skin. We were not even sure if those smiling eyes and grins had totally mantled our confusing desp…
eight days a week
Sunday, August 10th, 2008I’ve been working, writing, and rewriting a lot of times this season that, almost out of desperation to escape this constant repetitiveness or maybe for some other unknown reasons, I fall once again into an urge of listening The Beatles music. Call …
little thing
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008There’s no use keeping this shroud of mystery on me by now. I have my left ear pierced just last Monday. Though only a few have noticed it yet (of course, considering that I didn’t wear training studs the size of hubcaps), of which I and Marianne h…
bulleted
Monday, August 4th, 2008Today, if I’d pursue what is running in my mind, I will do something that is entirely out of my character (or maybe not). I don’t really know. But chances are I’d most probably have it because in the sub-sub-persona in me clearly screams that I w…
silly men
Sunday, July 27th, 2008This is us. Well, just some of us. We are the staffers of the Weekly Sillimanian for this school year. We work till dawn, publish articles, get criticized, and face abomination in countless form. Pardon our shining faces and shabby get-up in this photo…

still tight
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Like mosquito bites, high school reunions give you an itch that only lasts for awhile. This post is long overdue but, like anybody else who sees something’s inserted in an old book and is thrown into the distant pasts, I suddenly remember just right no…

the biggest circle of friends
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008It is official. On the 21st night of June in the year 2008, at Royal Suites Inn, the birth of something so glorifying in the time of distances and nostalgia has finally arrived. The Biggest Circle of Friends (BCF) is now existent. It is, ironies aside,…

heads up
Monday, April 28th, 2008Blame the appearance of this post to Marianne (hey, now you’re mentioned here in two consecutive entries!). If not for her countless attempt on “beautifying” her blog, I wouldn’t have done the same thing and stay completely satisfied with my o…
making a scene
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008I confess our home is relatively close to nature but amazingly, in my whole stay in this forested area, there’s this invisible boundary that seems to separate us humans from the non-humans. It’s like we are living in our own space as they’re enj…
online break
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008I totally forgot something that I have been planning to post in this blog for a long time when three people (a brother-in-law, an officemate, and a close acquaintance) made me remember just a while ago. It is about my very weird break as an online pose…
the legalization of the pact
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008The Union is a drinking and anesthetized discussion group based in Dumaguete. Founded by publication staffers of the Weekly Sillimanian in the school year 2006-2007—which was originally composed of news writers, feature writers, and one member of the…

culprits
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008These are the people who bring you the paper. From sports wannabees to frustrated circus performers, your student publication - the Weekly Sillimanian - never runs out of larger than life characters. Okay, we love narcissism so we’re grabbing this c…
Some Similarities
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008It sure is funny seeing these two giant magazines having the same (well, not exactly the same) concept and theme for their covers. Perhaps love makes us all think sympathetically alike. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun reading them especially Reader’…
How to Cheat the Best Way
Saturday, October 20th, 2007Stealthily looking a seatmate’s exam paper, relaying sophisticated hand signals, tucking tiny papers in every available space of a folded handkerchief, or simply exchanging answer sheets when the teacher’s eyes wander a moment or two—these are s…
Fading Youth & Vanity
Friday, September 14th, 2007Imagine how life would be if one day, a scientist would finally discover “The Fountain of Youth”. Or if there were some type of miracle cream that would completely eradicate all signs of aging. Wouldn’t life be soo sweet for us women then?
Unfortunately, age sneaks up on us unexpectedly, and there is no escaping the [...]

Gravel by the Bend
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007The littlest things imprinted in our minds serve as our sources of poignant nostalgia.These memories may bring a twitch of smile or even guilt on my face. For example, I remember one sun-drenched day at the age of four when I built stunted castles out …
