Friend(s) of mine by Zen Bitchin' on Feb 10, 2010By some twist of fate, the start of the project I recently acquired was postponed, leaving me with a 2-week gap I had no way of filling with other bits of work, having refused a short assignment in the end of January. Another source of mild irritatio...

Comfortably numb by Zen Bitchin' on Jan 26, 2010I didn’t expect that I’d be able to write this post, because I felt that the past holiday season went by in a blur, almost a drug-induced haze that it didn’t seem worth writing about. And yet here I am, doing exactly the opposite of...

Return to innocence by Zen Bitchin' on Jan 24, 2010I found this in my 16 year-old cousin’s blog over at tumblr. I’m not sure if she wrote this (it looked as if she got it from another blogger–a friend, presumably) or not. I’ve been reading her posts for quite some time now and...

Be happy by Zen Bitchin' on Dec 23, 2009Perhaps the most perplexing thing about whatever-the-hell-I’m-going-through-right-now is my inability to write about the whole experience. This is something I used to do with ease, since I was young. Whenever I felt troubled, disturbed, and con...

Happy by Zen Bitchin' on Dec 15, 2009I have very few reasons to smile and laugh these days. I won’t give the morbid and grisly details because people are put off by other people’s misery, this I know clearly now. It is not true that misery loves company. People, especially t...

Autumn leaves by Zen Bitchin' on Dec 11, 2009About two weeks ago the winds suddenly blew cold in Phnom Penh. Nights began feeling too cold for me to use the a/c in my room. This happened for about a week before becoming balmy and dry like a summer night again. The trees in the small yard facing...

A watcher’s point of view by Zen Bitchin' on Oct 18, 2009On the surface, I wouldn’t strike anybody as someone cheerful and perky. In fact, I know that it takes me a while to warm up to anybody. At the few social gatherings I attend I would be what people used to call a wallflower–I would talk t...

You don’t know my name by Zen Bitchin' on Sep 4, 2009Kris Aquino had the good fortune of being directed by Ishmael Bernal early in her career. The title of this film escapes me now, what I remember is a scene–a snippet of a dialogue actually, with the character being playes by Christopher de Leon...

Hero by Zen Bitchin' on Aug 1, 2009Yesterday marked the passing of one of the most prominent Filipinos I’ve known in my lifetime. After more than a year of battling colon cancer, former President Cory Aquino passed away peacefully, amidst the flurry of prayers and support from F...

A rose is still a rose by Zen Bitchin' on Jul 31, 2009I already did this in my Facebook page. Joined my fellow Filipinos in praying for the recovery (if not the peaceful passing on) of former president Cory Aquino in her struggle with the big C. They’ve been doing this around the Philippines. Also...
