Mission almost-impossible: finish a collection in 365 days, and counting. It’s my second night away from home. I didn’t get to sleep much; I was. An exact translation for the Filipino term. Escapes me; the term. Doesn’t capture the traitorous way my body searches for familiar scents, for pillows shaped by our contours, for carlights playing on the ceiling, or for a bed that creaks when I turn to my right but not when I turn to my left. Our home has carved itself on my body. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Mission almost-impossible: finish a collection in 365 days, and counting. Writing on the go. Traveled three hours this afternoon to Bataan, where I will hold a technical writing workshop in the next two days. I was the only passenger in a comfortable rental van. The drive, though pleasant, wasn’t how I wanted to use my very limited me-time. So I got out my laptop and started writing. I got carsick–I often do–so I positioned my index fingers to find the trusty ridges on letters. 1 I should write. My m...

Mission almost-impossible: finish a collection in 365 days, and counting. I’m writing on acid-free paper, and wondering if my thoughts are worth the paper’s archival value. Writing on acid-free paper. A few weeks ago I was writing a speech for a homecoming event, and rediscovered some truths: that our success is only as good as our legacy. May the message I had written strike hard, strike true. A father’s heart. My third post for my column. Read the rest of the column post here. The father heart of God.

Mission almost-impossible: finish a collection in 365 days, and counting. It takes a village to raise a mother. My latest post. Today Anna asked me five why’s in quick succession. When I ran out of answers, I had to do the only quick survival tactic available to tired mothers: I pointed out the window and shouted, Look! So what if every slapstick comedian does that? It worked this afternoon.). One day Anna is going to ask us, why is the sky blue? The rest of the post is here. Photo credit: Best Books.
