The Province In The Sky

posted on Friday, April 17, 2009

Crowned by majestic peaks reaching to the sky, it is no wonder that early natives called the heartland of the Cordillera mountain range �bontoc��a combination of the words �bun�, meaning heap, and �tuk�, which mean top, adjectives that, describe the region�s wild, jagged terrain. Unfortunately the first time I visited my father�s hometown was 4 years after his death in 1979, when my mother prodded my sister to bring me along to the Mountain province and meet my other relatives. I belong to the Bontoc tribe, supposedly the most warlike of the tribes of the mountain province.

posted on Monday, March 16, 2009

Vancouver, Canada has always had the distinct and enviable reputation of being among the best cities in the world to live in. So it was with excitement that I planned a visit when the demands of corporate idolatry allowed me --- the long Christmas break. Although it would fall right into the freezing North American winter season, it did not matter. The best should always have something to offer. Besides, I was told that actually Vancouver is the warmest city in Canada. Winter there is �pleasant� � not as frigid as its sister cities in the east, buried in meters of glacial snow. There would be occasional flurries and light snow that melt in the midday sun. It would be tolerable for tropical mammals as myself.

posted on Friday, October 10, 2008

The blast of heat that whipped against my face came as a bit of a shock when I stepped out of the K-2 Bus in Hong Kong�s cosmopolitan Kowloon District. My memory of Hong Kong was limited to a trip almost 20 years ago. It was a winter holiday when I was decked out in a heavy maroon parka, and revelers were throwing confetti at the crowd walking down the streets during one Christmas Eve.

posted on Monday, September 29, 2008

I wanted to cleanse myself of Metro Manila and all the sordid things in life it hosts � ceaseless yakkity-yak of politics, corruption and daily bombardments on our collective consciousness of images on television.

Graceland Estates and Country Club

by Trina T. Epilepsia
posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2008

After a bumpy three-hour drive from the metro, our group finally made it to Graceland. The drive was difficult with heavy traffic, muddy roads and non-stop rain. Inside our cramped car, the mood was just as stormy. We'd skipped breakfast and and stayed hungry way past noon. As we winded our way to the rain-soaked entrance of the resort, lightning streaked the sky and the clouds were an angry shade of gray.
