Of adversity and adventure
by Stacy Danika S. Alcantara - August 23, 2011 - 12:00am

Perfect to me
by Stacy Danika S. Alcantara - June 12, 2011 - 12:00am

Kindergarten dreams
by Stacy Danika S. Alcantara - May 24, 2011 - 12:00am
I was watching part of the movie Mr. Deeds yesterday while sitting up in bed after being transferred from the recovery room to my private room and then it hit me. Deeds was right. The more we grow up, the...
Saved

Until the violence stops
by Stacy Danika S. Alcantara - April 10, 2011 - 12:00am

It's only the Prologue
by Stacy Danika S. Alcantara - April 3, 2011 - 12:00am
Looking back at roughly a couple of years ago—nice sunny afternoon underneath a canopy of wispy clouds, suffocating but still smiling in an oversized black graduation gown and a morat board hat on my head,...
What gentleman?

The first time I set foot in Japan, I was completely floored by what I saw.
Celebrating the woman
by Stacy Danika S. Alcantara - March 6, 2011 - 12:00am

Table for one
by Stacy Danika S. Alcantara - February 27, 2011 - 12:00am
The next person to ask me if why, at 22, I still don’t have a boyfriend will land the same fate as the taxi driver who won’t give me the exact change for a short trip from Escario to Gorordo-that person...

Dear Jose
by Stacy Danika S. Alcantara - January 23, 2011 - 12:00am
I know you but you probably don’t know me. Okay, let me take that back. You obviously do not know me. I know you quite well ever since I was a little girl.
Sunny side up
