A Bad Case of Writer’s Block
In writing, there is nothing worse than a very bad case of writer’s block. Writing as a hobby can be fun. You get to write about anything you want, but when you have deadlines to meet and keywords to think of, the task can sometimes become frustrating.

A Few Hours Before 2010
Arthur Rimbaud once wrote that life is the farce we are all forced to endure. In many ways, the past year was a farce: a comedy of everything that can go wrong. A global recession, calamities from nature’s wrath, and the ongoing joke that is Philippine politics. Still, here we are: a few...
