Looking Up
My grandmother was released from the hospital yesterday. Her MRIs showed that she'd suffered a series of diabetic strokes - also known as "silent strokes" - and that some parts of her brain were affected. She will always suffer now from memory loss problems, especially to her short term memory. Her long term memory was also damaged, and her ( Read more... ) -
My grandmother
My grandmother's in the hospital for memory problems. It's intensely disconcerting to sit with her and hear her struggle to remember details. All my life she's been the woman with a memory like an elephant, able to remember names, dates and places with a terrifying degree of accuracy. She astounded my then-girlfriend Tala by recalling that Tala' ( Read more... ) -
Cliff's Notes To Dewi's Birthday
Let me get to what happened last night some other time, preferably when I can upload some of the photographs from Iea's camera ( Read more... ) -
I Hope We Never Die
I've had Everything But The Girl's Cross My Heart playing in my head for the past three days. True Faith, one of my favorite bands, covered it in their new album, so naturally I scoured Limewire for it once I heard it on the radio. It took two days of patient browsing to get it.

Progress
They've opened a Starbucks right behind our subdivision. From home it's a short ten-minute walk out the side gate and into the shopping center, which coincidentally hosts a SM Hypermart, an Office Warehouse, a Watson's, and (thank God) ATM machines. As I manage the household expenses, having ATMs a stone's throw from home is a godsend ( Read more... ) -

Moving On
After three years of working for my family I am finally leaving Holy Angel University.
My last day is July 31. It's a bit sudden, I know, but it's about time I moved on. -
(Untitled)
My behavior over the past few weeks has been terrible. I know I've been a selfish prick. It's one of those things I can see clearly in hindsight, but I assure all of you that being there was a very different experience ( Read more... ) -
I Died Blushing
We showed up at the Ayala Museum after the Manila Jazz Festival, around 1 a.m. There was a party tonight celebrating the launching of Studio 88, a new production house; advertising people were invited, which included Iea and her friends. I got dragged along on the promise of an open bar and good music ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
There's a stack of documents on my desk that needs my immediate attention. Right now it's 2 inches tall, the result of putting together 2 such stacks. I've always said that I follow the stack theory of organization: if it's in a stack, it's organized ( Read more... )
