My blog-friend of mine, Captain Jepoy who blogs at Captain’s Log emailed me today about the plight of the people in Barangay Sta. Lucia in Novaliches, Quezon City. It so happens that Lalaine’s aunt – their home and everything else (Lalaine is connected to Jepoy) was washed away by the same deluge that affected thousands [...]

A soothing sound with an ambiguous roar
Calm yet dashing
Soft but forceful

Always waiting for tide’s sudden gush
Excited of its coming
Waiting for its embrace.
The tide kisses the sand each time they meet
And each time they [...]

IMHO, I think that there is a necessary court order or legal basis in order to conduct surveillance on a private individual. Especially if the [...]
