We’ve been told that parents will always love their children no matter what. But perhaps what very few realize is that the same could be said for kids, too. No matter how much a parent screws up, somehow our little adoring hearts still end up loving them. There are very few reasons (I think) a parent can commit that will make a daughter, as son, walk away and never look back. And even then, you still can’t stop yourself from help hurting.
We simply cannot help ourselves.

When I arrived in the US last September, one of the first things I did was look for the Esquire 75th Anniversary issue. Being a fan of magazines, and having worked for a magazine publishing company, seeing a moving cover (holograms don’t count) is a big step for the industry, both local and foreign.
With that being said, the magazines they come up with here in the US are nothing short of amazing. Don’t get me wrong, I sincerely believe that the talent we have here is at par, or even better than those in most parts of the world. It’s just that the business model is different in the US.
Roles are more properly defined, and thus, more attention is given to the smallest of details. Just compare the staff box of a Pinoy magazine with a foreign one’s, and you’ll know what I mean. Even the culture is different (but […]

I’m a firm believer in signs.
Think going into a one way street at one in the morning, only to get pulled over by cops who were coincidentally manning the area at such an ungodly hour. Sign of ignorance on my part.
And all those late night get-togethers that always seem to push through? Don’t you just love it when those push through more often than those that are planned weeks ahead of schedule?
Me and a few friends were on our way to the beach years ago when we decided to go to Baguio instead. Even if all of us had sun and sand in mind, and the tropical outfits to go with it, the sign pointing north just seemed more appealing.
Simple as it may seem, it reminds me of the other crossroads that have defined my life.
Before I entered this line of work, I already had an idea that the […]

I rarely get emotional with my posts, but I guess at some point in your life, you just end up realizing you’ve come a long way. As I write this, I am seated in a corner of the Las Vegas Mc Carran International Airport.
It just so happens that 6 years ago, I was right in this very airport with two of my closest friends. All of us had just turned 21, and had always wondered how livin’ it up in Vegas was like. Strip clubs. Gambling. We were, after all, legally able to do what we wanted to do. More than that, we were in a city where every single person who comes here has no other intention but to let go.
Without going into details — and let’s just say there was something I did here that wasn’t legal (you can ask me about it in person), taking that trip […]
