A collection of random writings

Over the last few years, I've written a monthly column for C! Magazine and for The Star, a daily broadsheet here in the Philippines. A good friend of mine, and radio partner, Alan Sevilla, has been encouraging me to compile all my articles and publish a book someday. As incredibly flattering as that is, I know I'm a long way from that, which is why I thought I would start small and compile some of my ramblings on the net. Many artciles have a Filipino flavor to them, but I do try to keep them universal in their appeal. The Philippines is the kind of place where you'll never run out of things to write about. I hope you enjoy reading and please feel free to share it with those who you think might appreciate it :) Here are a few to kick things off.
