Walls
You build your walls, pretending not to hear us down below. We cry, wanting to see you, until, one by one, they leave. I stay when they disappear. I climb when they run away. Why do you stay there, above? Why do you build, ever high? Whenever I get close to the peak of your solid wall, you build and build and build high, making sure I never reach the top, and scale my way down to your...

Know that this story does not, in any way, attempt to insult anybody. It’s supposed to be some sort of satire or whatever, so if you feel offended, then please, stop reading.
It’s dusk, and the bells are calling the faithful to mass. It’s getting pretty late. The rain isn’t that strong, but there’s a steady downpour. I have to go home. I’m sure God will forgive me for skipping mass...

Man up, Church. It’s time you own up to all the shit you’ve been doing.

If I could study everything, I would.
However, I can’t really do that. So, I’m aiming for something that might be able to cover the fields I want: the humanities and the social sciences.
I’ve already got the humanities covered thanks to my BFA Creative Writing course. Now: it’s time to double with an AB in Social Sciences.
Oh these dreams of mine.

Lack of Passion; Lack of Inspiration
I’ve been writing short stories for a little over two years now. Since I sat down in class and suddenly came up with what I believed was a unique idea. Opening that dilapidated notebook, I spent four days in between classes during my third year in high school and, on the fourth day, finally finished a short story. After years of notebooks filled with unfinished tales, I finally felt a little...

Greece’s parliament was expected to defy angry protesters on the streets of Athens and endorse a deeply unpopular package of savage austerity measures in order to try to avoid a sovereign default and retain the euro as its currency.
With eurozone leaders declaring it was time for Greece to put up or shut up and that Athens’ promises could no longer be believed,...

Hi. I’ve been working on two stories for over five months and I’m this close to finally finishing one of it.
I’ll share it once I’ve got it workshopped by WriterSkill (the Ateneo writing org-thingie).
Or maybe I won’t. I don’t know the rules about Palanca submissions that have been published online or whatever.
Okay, so I haven’t exactly been working on...

Blah
I stick with my belief that the world needs a couple more artists.
So, I’m sticking with my Creative Writing degree.
I have always believed that words have this great effect on people.
When people say “actions speak louder than words,” they failed to realize that writing is a great action, unequaled by many others.
Rizal wrote a book and he became immortal. Immortal. Do you...
