I’m very sure that no one delights in disease or sickness unless one’s a crackpot, which I assume no one reading this blog is. (My mind’s stoned right now, I think. I feel very high.)
Having said this, I realized that it is a boon when your mind and body are in a pyrexic, intense, and […]

I thought that I had already resolved this issue with my writing in the past, but a close friend of mine had asked me why I wrote about literature so much. I also believe I have alienated some people with regard to my writing style, use of rhetoric, or some idiosyncrasy of mine, so I […]

Every time there is a new season, bloggers come out with their first impressions of shows that have caught their attention. I often shy away from these kinds of posts because no two individual tastes are alike. Even the most similar individuals have some peculiarity and idiosyncrasy to them. I would rather test the waters […]

I have a streak of impulsivity with regard to book or novel purchases, because most of the time novels that one wants are in short number. This is most evident especially in second-hand bookstores: more often than not, the novels that one has failed to purchase because of a lack of money or other reasons […]

Some of my family members arrived in Manila a few days ago. I toured them to the best of my abilities (which was limited since I never went out of home much) and showed them the supposed sights of the place. While I loathe going out much more now, I was able to keep my […]

David Herbert Lawrence was a polarizing figure. Some deem him one of the greatest 20th century novelists, while others disdain his allusive and sensual style. I was never a fan of him or his writings. I had heard all about him from my father and from a professor of mine in literature (she remains to […]

My classes have finally ended: my last examinations were yesterday; by virtue of this, I have become free to do anything I want once again. Since my schedule is loose right now, I have decided to write once more, and I hope also more consistently.
In the online world, memes have grown in popularity among […]

The crux of Cameron’s blog, even with all the tangential discussions regarding anime, is his search for the anime that he could proudly place as his ninth favorite among all the anime he has seen. Although he himself has not commented regarding this, I believe this is so: it is, after all, what is reflected […]

It has been more than a week since I have posted anything decent; as I have said before, however, I have been terribly busy as of late because I am trying to excel in class now and not simply while my time away playing video games or doing nothing. Since this write-up commemorates my 150th […]

It was quite a surprise for me that after I wrote my previous post regarding my blog’s organization, I thought of two highly disparate, and obviously unformed ideas that I planned to write posts on. This is the first; maybe after a day or so, I can also finalize the second fledgling post.
