Welcome to my website, an online collection of some of my written works, both literary and academic.

New pieces FEATURES SECTION: Sports of the Elements, Mika Santos: Scaling New Heights, Get the Ch'i Flowing
My first published work! Sans Magic was published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer's Youngblood section last August 23. Unfortunately, PDI doesn't archive for more than a week, so now the link is lost in oblivion. Thank goodness my mom kept the hard copy! :) A Beginning was also published in you.inq7.net, but I hope the link stays alive. :O The new additions are articles I wrote for YP Magazine, whose operations have unfortunately been shut down by the publisher due to health and financial conditions. Here's hoping that the magazine will eventually come out with its maiden issue.

New pieces FEATURES SECTION: Simply Gege; ESSAYS: Too Much to Lose
New sections CRITICAL ANALYSIS PAPERS and POETRY.
Expect one more paper to be added to the CRITICAL ANALYSIS PAPERS section, perhaps by tomorrow. Oh, and a word of caution about the Poetry section: works found there were done as early as six years ago, so don't expect too much. The four poems I have placed there are personal favorites, as immature as they may sound. I hope you enjoy them anyway. :)

I have added Twenty Years Ago in the SHORT STORIES section. Also added a movie review of Finding Neverland, found under ONLINE WORKS as I have also posted the same review in multiply.com. Some of my works were lost when the old computer was reformatted; luckily, I have hard copies. I'll be in the process of encoding them soon so expect new updates. :)
