white balance
can’t figure out the riddle of this time
analogies of times when the rush reaches far
rummages of forlorn youth in the box
lullabies with sad endings in blur
in the clasps of vintage locket, fastened.
Tonight, the lowly begs that these images just fade
over the course of what seems a lasting night…
#TissuePaperPoetry
clasped stares penetrate,
and beyond what the eyes
reach or the soul feels
lives an undeniable desire,
irrevocable judgement of the damned
timid heart, wanting more
one time, just this time
Artsy Cafes in the Pine City
After Chel Yel introduced his favorite place, the Tsokolateira, to us in Baguio, he toured us in two other hidden artsy cafes along session road. Yesterday was rainy Sunday in the summer Capital, and due to limited time, we did not have the grand time to really enjoy the places. However, the places we visited are truly interesting and would easily be on top of my itinerary list on my next visit, which hopefully is soon.
This is what art is about
The National Museum is a just across the University I am attending, and it’s a shame that I only had time to visit it today. Unfortunately, I went there 30 minutes before closing time, so I was not able to explore everything.
This short trip reminded me that the creative and artistic talents of Filipinos and our rich cultural gems are national treasures we all should be proud of.
I will definitely be back soon and I will see to it that I have ample time to admire the talent of the Filipino artists.

Old school
Quaint Cafe
Listening to the stories of two of my officemates, I was really excited to try out this new coffee shop in the City of San Fernando. My dear friends Yel and Randy agreed to finally try it out last Sunday after dinner. Its was a rainy evening, and there were a handful of people in the coffee shop.
We were immediately overwhelmed by the design factor of the shop. There are multiple concepts in the interiors of the place. While this place may interest the Instagram/Tumblr crowd, we all agreed that the designers went over the top. Chef Yel, who has high aesthetic standards, was not a big fan of the flowers scattered all over the place. I felt that whenever a local coffee shop is situated right beside Starbucks, there is always a silent attempt to compete with the SB experience everyone is almost already familiar with.
The coffee experience in general is ok, but the service of Coffee Project-Pampanga still needs a lot of improvement. I am personally willing to give this palace another visit.

TALWI
nanding abak mamulayi ku
panagalan ing oras ning panawun
obat kasakit
sobra kaluwat
manaya, makaynip
meyari ing aldo
ing pagal na pating apun kung bubwat
mewalang antimo bula
keng suluk
na ning mundong masigla
keng gilid na ning lubak

ikit kung agad
