By Raoul Suarez The new kid sat at the back row again today. He wasn’t really a talker. He was always alone and never really tried to interact with the others except during group activities that required cooperation. We don’t know much about the guy. All we know is that he was from a small

A friend of mine, who is a staunch BBM supporter, joined me for coffee and to do Hasbro Transformers toys unboxing at my house today. We had a few exchanges. Him: What if BBM wins and it turns out na okay sya and he is actually a good leader unlike how the

A letter from my senior – Abraham V. Llera. Dear, Abyan Raoul, I hope this finds you well. We had hearty discussions about a lot of things and you have always wondered what it was like to be in my shoes. Let me tell you a few things before I forget. After

“You lack focus. You aren’t determined enough. You are not successful like your peers.” My old folks would tell me that a lot. Well, give me a break. I have heard this line so many times it is starting to get old. I’m sure you were told things like these too. No?

I have always liked her. I just couldn’t say it. The words just wouldn’t come out. The years have dragged on and the feelings I have for her have been left unsaid. I don’t know why. I should have told her back then. I should have confessed but I never really had

It’s just another Friday at work for someone in the middle-income bracket. I sat there staring blankly at the clock and listening to it tick. Just another quarter of an hour and it will be the weekend soon. The long-awaited weekend is there every week, but we always crave it. We all

I know you are living a hard life. Most of us do. Most of us are born into poverty. Most of us are not lucky enough. We have to struggle daily and hold on to the belief that hard work, honesty, diligence, perseverance, integrity, and all sorts of values taught to us
