I haven’t used Photoshop for almost a year now. Back when I was with Sterling Paper, I used that software in my everyday work as I was then handling six graphic artists and supervising their creative output. Of course I wasn’t near their level of proficiency, but I was able to learn enough to make [...]

When I see an open window I want to…
…jump and fly away like Superman
…look out and observe life as it happens
…imagine a beautiful girl pass by and glance at me
…listen to the sweet noise of kids playing patintero, tumbang preso or taguan—something I haven’t seen in a decade
…stare at the sky and imagine what it’s [...]

I often wondered why airport food is exorbitantly priced. The first time I flew, that was when I went to Cebu, I didn’t eat breakfast then so I was very hungry when I entered the passengers’ lounge. I wanted a quick bite so I went to this stall and was surprised when the lady manning [...]

My officemate, Acey, wastes at least two spoonfuls of rice every lunch. I think it’s such a big waste of food. I’ve pointed this out to her but she says she can’t eat a couple of bites more of the rice. I wish she would just offer a part of it to us before she [...]

A white piece of paper was stapled to the bulletin board this morning. Our company is inviting us, employees, to watch the new Indiana Jones movie. For free. It’s their treat.
I would love to go. I haven’t seen a film since… see, I can’t remember the last one. I’m sure it would still be fun [...]

Do you still have a mailbox? If yes, do you still get mail in it?
I’m not talking about the mailbox of your email. That’s never empty even if it’s just full of spam. I’m referring to the tangible one, the old kind of mailbox that the postal service makes use of.
I don’t find any letters [...]

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of discovering the wonder of the printed word. When I am in the bookstore, I always surprisingly find myself having been dragged by my feet at the children’s section. And I don’t get ashamed of picking a brightly colored book, no matter if its jacket says Ages 5 & [...]

When I’m a pedestrian in the busy streets of the metropolis, I take comfort and security that only sidewalks can provide. They keep me away from getting hit by cars, motorcycles and other wheeled contraptions.
There’s only one instance when I would give up the safety of the sidewalk for the danger of the road.
It’s when [...]

I have this theory, a long-standing one, which I have established the day I was made our class’ Sgt.-At-Arms back in Grade 6.
Together with my fellow Sgt.-At-Arms, we were tasked to monitor our classmates as they line up and march every morning during flag ceremony. And with every such occasion I have formed my bias [...]

How long is an office jacket allowed to go unwashed? You know, it’s the type that you leave in your locker or hang on your seat’s backrest at the end of every workday.
Mine has been unwashed for almost two months now. It isn’t stinky, at least I’m quite sure of that. I don’t sweat in the [...]
