Snow Flurry.

It is almost midnight, and I was woken up with the odd chilly temperature here in Cincinnati.* This has been the coldest temperature I have been into. My phone’s weather app dictated its -2 degrees Celsius. I looked through the window, and it was raining. First time. “That’s snow!” I gasped. I realized I am seeing […]

Doble Vista

‘Ingat.’ Yan ang automatic kong sinasabi, sabay tapik sa balikat mo sa tuwing uwian. Ngunit di ka tumango sabay talikod para umakyat sa footbridge patawid sa kalsada pauwi sa inyo.

Inaalala ko kung paano ka nagpaalam sa akin kanina, “Aalis na ako.” Bigla mong pinutol ang tawanan natin habang kumakain tayo sa paborito mong carinderia malapit sa […]

Insignificant.

Please do not leave your valuables unattended. A tear in my eye almost fell when I read that sign at the coffee shop where we had our breakfast right after that race we did for a good cause. The race was set 5:55AM, but you and I arrived an hour early. You told me that […]
