This Game Will Ruin Your Life (MugenEdition)

The moment I enter my room at night, it's hard to leave my quarters. And the reason for the hermitic disappearance is this:Marie Antoine (the little girl) and Deidre (her dad)I have always wondered how it feels to have so many different lives.

It was the last day of November, and the breeze has become colder. “Where are we going mom?” Tony, the eldest

Force Projection

Everything you are about to hear must never leave this room. What I will tell you concerns not only our national security, but also the state's holdings scattered across the Spratlys.First off, we shall stop calling the South China Sea as West Philippine Sea. Renaming a body of water with a name only this government recognize not only sounds silly, it makes our claims look desperate. Tell the

Travel Guides: Spratlys

"It is noteworthy that the Philippines has receded more and more from the radar of American foreign policymakers as China’s economic weight becomes more and more a tantalizing prospect for American business. Liberal capitalism and totalitarian communism may not be strange bedfellows after all. As for the Philippines and the United States, so much for shared values and historic ties. The lure of

Kendra (Epalogue)

To submerge in worlds of fiction is like swimming in the mind of its creators.- AnonymousHango dito ang kuwento.Paumanhin sa adult content. Naglalawa pa rin ang nawakwak na puke ni Kendra matapos itong maturbo-ranger ni Derek. Basag man ang mukha kakasapak matapos nitong ma-taihan sa puwet ang katalik, pero solb naman ito sa laki at haba ng kargadang naglabas-masok sa kanyang inaagnas na lagusan.

Medyo naparami ang gawaing trabaho nang minsang na-assign ako sa graveyard shift. Dala ng pagka-bugnot at antok dahil sa bago kong schedule, naisipan kong buksan ang aking Facebook account. Unang  tumambad ang status at wall messages ng aking mga kaibigan. Nothing important, kanya-kanyang mga drama sa buhay.  Malugod na sana akong mag-lo log-out nang mapansin ang updates ng kabarkada ko sa

Too attached to this short story, its hard to let go.But its the raket season and Bentusi's assignment requires writing for very young children.  I hope the new revision is more apt for grade one pupils. Apologies for not publishing the Golden Gays final installment.

Anyway, sabi namin, magsusuot kami ng pashmina

Writing For Children

The muses are once again on vacation, and I am in no mood to write a composition. My head is like a primordial soup these days. Ideas slip like a drinking glass held by a well-lubricated hand. But in an effort to share something I learned, let me tell you a story about how my mentorship with Bentusi is evolving lately.Raket season has begun and I was once again asked to write articles for kids.

McDonald's Twister Fries

May isang bata na ang pangalan ay Kulasa. Siya ay marikit, makulit at sobrang adik sa McDonald's Twister Fries. Tuwing umaga kapag papasok siya sa Mababang Paaralan ng Santa Ines ay dadaan muna siya sa tahanan ni Ronald McDonald. Tuwing recess naman ay magpapasama siya sa kanyang teacher na si Ditas (na nililibre niya ng Cheeseburger Meal) para bumili ng Twister Fries sa McDonald's. Comfort

"The planetship no longer speaks to us.""Is that so? Have we totally abandoned the vessel?" Hakkuna inquired."We have no idea Chief Magistrate." Sufoni said "After the rest of the Havok wing left the ship for planetfall, only a handful of our soldiers and their families stayed behind.""I see. And how about the Altair wing?
