                    [Summary] => 

In the last 10 years, I have been attending so many wakes, I am continually reminded that I am already in the departure lounge hoping that the flight will be delayed. Wakes are somber — even sad — events, but they also enable old friends — distanced from each other — to meet again and indulge in the dubious pleasure of remembering.

It was very pleasant and relaxed. We all sat in the open air plaza of Serendra and munched on old fashion merienda goodies: chocolate eh and churros, ensaimadas, pandesal with chorizo filling. There were guitars softly playing old songs and we chatted with many old friends we had not seen for a long time.

The dream was to try to resurrect the prominence of the school, St. Theresa’s College, that had, it seemed, gone under from most everyone’s consciousness since our batch graduated. Apparently every batch that graduates from the school thinks the quality and prominence ended with them. The thoughts and comments are similar among the graduates since 1952 (the Golden Girls) till today. Question is – is anyone going to do anything about it?

[Summary] => Last Saturday evening, I caught a documentary on BBC about the military coup in Chile that resulted in 18 years of a particularly harsh military dictatorship. The duly elected president, Salvador Allende, was found dead as the smoke of battle for the presidential palace cleared. Thousands of people were also killed, sent into exile or simply disappeared.The documentary sent a chill down my spine as I recalled those early days after the late President Marcos declared martial law and a hunt ensued for all enemies of the regime.
