Ego sum vita


Hi. I created you, and you, and you, and you, and you. You don’t believe me. I know. But I did. You see, I was fascinated with the world before it even came to be, and because of that I loved it. I witnessed how the sun loved the moon though they could never meet. I watched as the stars danced in the night sky, circling the universe, clinging to every ray of light. I sought this rock you live in today, and wrapped it in a cloth cut from my own robe to make it a home. I oversaw the bond formed between the land and the sky, and how the sea would send kisses to the shoreline whenever they touched.. I lived for this, but I was not contented. You see, there was only two of us in the beginning. Mortem and I were the best of friends. I would send him gifts, and these gifts would be the best that I could offer. After all, Mortem was not just my friend. He was also my lover. We were in love. Time came when I had run out of gifts to give him, and I felt hopeless knowing that my imagination has already reached its limits. But alas, I was me after all, and I didn’t give up. I always wanted the best for him. So I started chanting. Ego creo quod loquor. I create as I speak. I spoke of the love between the sun and the moon, of the light that emitted every time the stars danced in the night sky, of the rock that I had cradled until it became a home, of the sweet kisses from the sea to the land and the sky.  I spoke of love, and faith, and hope, and joy, and kindness, and everything good in this world. And with every word I spoke, the universe conspired to make it reality. And thus, you were born, and you were beautiful. And I couldn’t imagine any better gift to my lover than you. I never stopped speaking of the good things, adding you into the mix created more of you, slowly filling the home I created. And all of you were beautiful, and all of you I sent to meet your father, Mortem, as everlasting symbols of my love for him. And he loved you. He kept you safe. He kept you forever. And my dear, remember this in your journey to your father’s embrace: you are special. For I am life and he is death, and we are your parents.

Benjo Cruz: The Lugaw King of Bulacan

Image
Bienvenido M. Cruz Jr., most commonly known as “Benjo” by his friends and colleagues, was born on December 22, 1977 in Bambang, Bulakan, Bulacan. He is a 39-year old businessman from which sprung the brands “Lugaw Republic” and “Juice Colored”. Hailed as the “Lugaw King of Bulacan”, Benjo wasn’t your usual successful businessman. For one, he had a very humble start. It was not all luxury and money at first. In 2004, he flew to Japan to become a singer in cultural shows performed there. “Sa Japan, oo, six months lang yun. Kaya ako nagkaroon ng puhunan dahil sa pag-aabroad.”, he said. Benjo was in Japan from December of 2004 to March of 2005, but wasn’t able to come back to Japan because of some dispute between the Philippines and Japan at the time. Luckily, he stayed in the Philippines and invested in his first ever business enterprise called “Kiss King of Balls”. “Mahabang kwento actually. I started business May of 2005, but it was not Lugaw Republic. It’s Kiss King of ...

Pampanga: Oh surREAL!

Image
MARCH 11, 2017— It took a lot of brainstorming to figure out where our group was going to travel. We decided on the fact that we all want to keep it local. So we decided on Pampanga— Bacolor, Pampanga, to be exact. San Guillermo Church Before the trip, I did a little background check on San Guillermo church. I found out that it was first constructed by Augustinian Friars (same as the old churches in Bulacan like the one in Calumpit and the one in Bulakan), and it has stood its ground for nearly 440 years. But that’s not what peeked our interest into paying a visit. The church was as strong as an independent woman (no joke). It was hit by an earthquake in 1880 and was rebuilt in 1886, but that’s not the most tragic part. More recently, it fell victim to the aftermath of Mt. Pinatubo’s 1991 eruption, burying half of the church’s structure in lahar. But now, onto our visit. When we got to San Guillermo, we immediately took interest in the church’s grounds, more commonly known...

Just Wanted To Let You Know

Hi. I don’t know if you can read this, but I’ll type it anyway. Maybe someone could relay this message to you. We’ve been together for so long, and this is the first time I’ve thought of finally revealing our special relationship to the world. I know, I know, why didn’t I think of this sooner? I’ve loved you since the first moment I laid my eyes on you. The first time I held you made me feel like I’m going to be addicted to you, and believe me, I wanted to fall into the sweetest addiction you can offer. At first, I didn’t know how to approach you. I didn’t know what I should do to understand you. I didn’t know what I should do to make you trust me. But eventually, I did. I've been nothing but patient with you—memorizing every curve on your face, learning your strengths and weaknesses, even enduring the times when you didn’t want to cooperate with me. I wanted to mold you—to make you see how much you mean to me, to make you see how much you matter, to make you see how ...
