The Ocean of My Being: Happy 10th,
http://bago-a-raga.blogspot.com/2013/12/happy-10th-ocean-happy-new-year.html
Happy 10th, Ocean. I have been trying to open Blogger. For a few days now, but it hasn't been cooperating with me! I was half expecting it to act up again as I was trying to open it a few minutes ago but, to my surprise, it worked and opened without me having to restrain myself from pounding on my 'enter' key like a maniac! I guess this is Blogger. S New Year gift to me! And, I hope it stays this way the whole year of 2014! But, seriously, I hope it does! December is a very important month for this blog!

The Ocean of My Being: February 2004
http://bago-a-raga.blogspot.com/2004_02_01_archive.html
Last night, I was listening to the Il Postino. The Postman) original soundtrack when, as usual, I started to cry. I was listening to Pablo Neruda. How could you not love someone who would always be there to listen to your childish thoughts and foolish ideas? How could we not love him? On our third year in High School, Kuya Reynill, knowing how much I loved classical and instrumental music, introduced me to the Dying Young. Every time you hear that piece, you’ll remember me, right? That made my day. Then,...

The Ocean of My Being: March 2004
http://bago-a-raga.blogspot.com/2004_03_01_archive.html
I am so sad right now. Early in the morning the day before yesterday (about 2:30), we went to take our dorm-mate, Naonao. Naonao is, or I should say was, a dorm-mate. Her room was just across mine. We didn’t really become friendly friends. From then on, Naonao and I always took lunch and dinner together. She would jokingly say, You’ll never eat alone. In the short time that we were together, she became no less than a confidante, a bosom friend, a sister. She decided to take a Leave of Absence. I believe ...

The Ocean of My Being: Weathering Disasters
http://bago-a-raga.blogspot.com/2013/11/weathring-disasters.html
It's been exactly a week since part of the Philippines. Was hit by Super Typhoon Yolanda. Here in Marawi City. We had strong winds and rain. And, along with these strong winds and rain came photos and videos of other parts of the country. We watched in horror as photo after photo and video after video made clear to us how strong a Storm Category 5 was and what a storm surge could do to places. Through the news coverage and social media, we watched Yolanda. Pummel a huge part of Eastern Visayas. Is being ...

The Ocean of My Being: Who Run the World? Mens!
http://bago-a-raga.blogspot.com/2014/10/who-run-world-mens.html
Who Run the World? It was a really good experience. Recently, a friend of mine lent me her copies of Bebang Siy's books, It's a Mens World. And It's Raining Mens. As I've always wanted to read them, I finally did with such hunger and gusto as can only be compared to when a girl who's feeling down devours chocolates and ice cream! To say that I loved both books is an understatement! The feelings, emotions, and realizations that she was talking about in her books were spot on! Dear Bebang Siy,. Hehe:-) Jok...

http://bago-a-raga.blogspot.com/2004_01_01_archive.html
But, in all my years of reading, nothing prepared me for what I have just read a while ago. It was a news item (from London). I guess nothing would prepare me for such news! I saw it in one of the forums in. And it totally shocked me! The title, Boy, 15, Raped His Mother. Made me feel sick! As I read through the news item, I was just thinking, ". God, what is the world coming to? I just couldn't believe something this sick could actually happen in 'real' life. I know of the Oedipus syndrome. And, knowing...
