Mindanao, a heartfelt melodrama unworthy of its title
I had an error of judgment. No artist would do enough justice to tell Mindanao’s story than a Mindanawon. But no, I commit this error once more. No artist would do enough justice to tell Mindanao’s story than a bold and willing one. When they first announced that Brillante Mendoza’s new production was entitled “Mindanao,” as a Mindanawon myself, I was thrilled. I thought to … Continue reading Mindanao, a heartfelt melodrama unworthy of its title

Black and Pastel Graciousness
We all know that black is not really a color–at least that’s what I learned in my Art History class. Apparently, it happens to be backed up by Science. According to this website, Black and White are not considered colors because they don’t have specific wavelengths, unlike other colors. They are called monochromes. Since mixing and matching colors is quite tricky, many people would not … Continue reading Black and Pastel Graciousness
My boyfriend asked me to play Ragnarok: Eternal Love, and here’s what happened…
I’m not ashamed of it. I’m playing Ragnarok Mobile: Eternal love because of LOVE–at least during the first month. While some people find love on the Role-playing game, I found it way before Ragnarok’s re-release, in my ever-so-sweet and worthy gamer boyfriend. He wished to be able to play his beloved RPG with me. Hence, to deepen my long-distance relationship with him, I complied. That’s … Continue reading My boyfriend asked me to play Ragnarok: Eternal Love, and here’s what happened…

I know that we shouldn’t believe anything on the internet, but at this point in time, especially in the free media, the one making us alive are not just the readers, but most importantly, … Continue reading The only reason why we should vote (from a cynic’s point of view)

Celebrification 101: My First Experience with Browhaus’ Eyebrow Resurrection
Pictures by Clea B. Blog. There were moments in my life when I tried to pull-off an Alicia Keys (barefaced anywhere, every day) due to my best friend’s challenge. I was half-hearted, but I still did it! I tried being confidently beautiful barefaced. However, for someone like me who has thin brows (close to no hair strokes), pulling off an Alicia Keys was not suggested. I … Continue reading Celebrification 101: My First Experience with Browhaus’ Eyebrow Resurrection
