Bailing out is not an option! I have to face this. I volunteered for it and nobody, and I mean NOBODY! – forced me to do it. Well, almost nobody, except for that stupid voice inside my head who’s been pushing me since last year, to do things that aren’t really within my comfort zone… [...]
This will be our fourth Earth Hour. We started participating in this exercise the first time we heard about it in Earth Hour 2008, and then again in Earth Hour 2009, and last year’s Earth Hour 2010. I learned that we only missed one year, as Earth Hour only started in 2007 in Sydney in [...]

This is a photo of the podium in iBlog6 I’ve taken last year. I posted this, along with other pictures of the event, in my photoblog… and my caption for this photo was, “Someday, I could be behind this box.” And I was just trying to be witty in my photo captions then… it was [...]

Yesterday, I attended the audition for Batuin, the first Kapampangan rock musical play. Oh no, I did not go there to audition. I went to there to observe the proceedings and eventually write about it and help them promote the play. An advocate of the Kapampangan language as of late, I try to attend as [...]

“What’s your field of discipline?” I was asked by the girl at the registration, and I reluctantly replied, “Writing?” She looked at me like I didn’t make sense at all, paused for a while, and finally wrote “Literary” under my name on the nameplate.
