Being Extremely Loyal To One’s Alma Mater Confuses Me

The only conclusion I could come up with is that this phenomenon could be attributed to our inherent tribalistic nature. Also, nostalgia is a powerful drug. Even the most logical of people are not immune to the intoxicating taste of reliving the joys of the past. It can, when utilized properly, be a great fuel to serve your present. The past can also be an anchor that prevents you from moving to the future, so there’s that.

Story Time: Listen To The Universe When It Whispers

Back in high school, my friends and I would frequent a computer shop in a back alley near UPV-Iloilo called Backyard.Com (or simply Backyard or BCOM for short). We were at BCOM everyday after school (never ~during~ school because that’s skipping classes and skipping classes is bad… stay in school kids), whether to play PCContinueContinue reading “Story Time: Listen To The Universe When It Whispers”

Story Time: We Tried To Be Human Torch In High School

Story Time: The Day I Drank 10 Cups of Coffee

Coffee is an essential part of many peoples’ lives and I am no exception. It’s basically what’s coursing through my veins instead of blood.

Dancing Waiters of Yupihay

Today marks the 10th year anniversary of my class’ culminating activity for our Home Technology class — a formal dinner! Our section hosted the event for ourselves and the UP High School in Iloilo faculty. Some of the boys, namely myself, Dale, Alvin, Martin, Ace, Fama, and Niño acted as waiters (as part of the requirement to pass the class) and even did a little dance presentation to the tune of “Cherry Lips” by Garbage. The success of the event was the first step in our month-long journey to accomplish all requirements needed for us to graduate.

Spectacular.

I apologize. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Last December 21 was awesome as f**k! Me and my highschool classmates had a Christmas party at this resort in Guimaras. Sure, we weren’t complete, but as long as at leastContinueContinue reading “Spectacular.”
