I see you in my dreams. You are that little silhouette in the dark. Yet you are also the bright figure in the light. And although I always see you, you are always unknown.
I never fail to ask for your name, in order to search for you in the real world perhaps. But you always, [...]

Heating Emotions

In: Letters, Non-Fiction Thoughts, Rants

I hate it when I say “I love you,” and yet I don’t get any response from you. Don’t you know how hear those three words are uttered or texted? I know you know because you said that you could actually count the number of times you said those words. But just a response? Just [...]

During a performance last May 9 in SM Baguio, Candy Pangilinan, a comedian, said twice: “Tao po ako, hindi po ako Igorot (I am human, not an Igorot.).”
This statement was reminiscent of a sentence in Carlos P. Romulo’s book “Mother America,” published on 1943 in Garden City, New York by Doubleday, Doran & [...]

Utilitarianism in New Light

In: Academics, My Own, Non-Fiction Thoughts

This morning, in my Philosophy class, we were talking about John Stuart Mill’s theory on Utilitarianism. As always, I wasn’t really listening. I was reading The Mammoth Hunters by Jean Auel. But the topic on Act Utilitarianism and Rule Utilitarianism caught my attention. Yes, I may be talking in another language here but believe me, [...]

The Legends of the Old

The Legends of the Old
by: Elizabeth Carla Pekas
there are some stories meant to be told,
like the legends of the old.
there are some stories meant to be discussed,
like the legends of the old.
there are some stories loved and retold,
like the legends of the old.
there are some stories meant to be forgotten,
like the legends of the old.
there [...]

These are the beginnings of various blogs in the future. Random jots that suddenly pop into my mind when I see, hear, smell, taste or touch something.
“Pining for you.”
“At what point do you expect me to give up? When everything in the world I’m believing in is gone?” 
(This one has been with me [...]

Keeping mum.

In: Letters, My Own, Non-Fiction Thoughts, Poems

“good night, mum love ya (kiss)”
“love you too sweetie :-)”
 
For the longest time I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to say the word “mum” to you again. If the opportunity ever presented itself in the past, my lack of guts stopped me from saying it. And now, for some unknown reason, I [...]

Riddle me this. Riddle me that.
 
Blood frozen for all eternity.
A simple manipulation of nerves.
A tweak of time, and of destiny.
Results to a singular curse.
 
A heart still beats for the life it holds.
A mind doesn’t think, doesn’t care anymore at all.
A shake of a body, of the hips.
Results to a singular curse.
 
It may be forever. It [...]

Post Graduation Jots

In: Non-Fiction Thoughts

Finally. After the longest time of trying to make a blog about how I felt and still feel about graduation and separation.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
Graduation seemed so final. The only thing that kept me from thinking of this is your reassurance that we’ll still keep in touch. And I dealt with what I felt.
For a time I may [...]
