It was the lovely Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo who taught me about feeling. In one musical theater class a thousand years ago, she said you needed to be aware of all the things around you, to remember how everything felt. And then you tuck these memories away into a chest inside of…

A friend recently told me that upon observation, one can come to the conclusion that i am an urban girl through and through. My initial reaction was of defensiveness, since i’ve always taken great pride in my love for nature. My most peaceful moments take place beside a body of…

I’m a simple girl with simple needs. Small things make me happy, like ice cream breaks, bubbles, walking barefoot and Ely Buendia tweeting the link of the video of our performance to their song, “Disconnection Notice” (originally performed by his band, Pupil).
