Strapless Saturday: 10 Types of Jeepney Commuters

It's funny how commuting made me come up with these generalizations. Haha.

Strapless Saturday: Back to School!

Obviously, my short stay here in my hometown still won't compensate the time I haven't visited. But because it was longer than the usual, I got to squeeze in one important thing I've planned way, way back: the journalism workshop for students.

Strapless Saturday: Feed and Satisfy Hunger

It was after she walked out of the cubicle, I realized she was still figuring out how to turn on the faucet. With wandering eyes, the little girl turned the faucet handle, trying her luck if water comes out. It was supposed to be pushed. 

I guided her with the soap dispenser, as she was on her toes while reaching for it. (Also, she was wondering how soap was in liquid form, flowing out from that foreign object, and not a solid block.) 

"Walang pong pamunas?" I checked the cubicle again for a tissue roll and noticed that she wasn't able to flush the toilet. After flushing, I handed the tissue over her dripping palm. 

"Paki-ayos naman po nung damit ko." Then I saw those eyes of ignorance and innocence. I willingly did what she asked and twisted the ends of the oversized shirt at her back, making it tighter atop her pink flowy dress. 

After fixing, the little girl attempted to pull the heavy restroom door, but to no avail. I opened it for her, and she ran as fast she could, back to the hall, along with the other kids. 

It was a win-win situation for both of us. It was a day of discoveries for the little girl and me.

Strapless Saturday: From a Rookie [PBA Fan's] Perspective

[To keep this blog alive, I shall have my weekly posts titled "Strapless Saturday."]

Just before the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Rookie draft 2013, I noticed my Facebook and Twitter feeds were already hyped with excitement on who will be placed on what team. I came to realize that our very own college hoops players will be advancing to be pros already. That's why. Boy, made me feel old.


The recognition on most of the players to be drafted was inevitable. These were the people we once cheered and jeered for. And now, the school pride won't matter anymore. (Well... not really. Hahaha.) It's a matter of who will make it to the cut and if these players will stand out on the national basketball league.

And so, the D-Day came. Teams have picked and traded. Former allies became [basketball court] enemies and, quite unexpectedly, enemies became allies.

Yes, bro?

Yup, college hoops no more.
