Nuclear Winter I am standing under the evening sun, its iced heat cooling my burned soul. Quickly, the zinnias and marigold wrinkled in despair, fading into oblivion. Our shadows lasted a lifetime of insanity- the petals dropped, my chocolate skin sagged. The acid rain finally fell from the great beyond Standing at the dusty crossroads, time stood still for a moment Reaching for my folded-faded umbrellas; I tried to ward off...

The Philippines’ Mt. Mayon, the most active volcano in the island has once again shown the world her legendary beauty albeit dangerously during the past few days. But I can only watch the colorful but deadly spectacle on the videos available in the Internet having been left the Bicol region a couple of years ago and now living half a world away from my hometown of Tiwi in Albay. Mayon, which rises at 2462 feet above sea level, is one of several active volcanoes in the Philippines (the Country being part of the Pacific Ring of Fire) and one of the most destructive wherein in 1814 buried the town of Cagsawa, killing an estimated 1,000 residents where the only reminder of that fateful day is the famous Church ruins and its Belfry which is now a National Park that attracts thousands of tourists year round.

It is amazing how a piece of clothing, a swimsuit for that matter, can be the subject of so many debates and discussions over the years. It revolutionized the way common people viewed and perceived the human body and how we dressed in public. It has captured the imagination of every one of us. Its influence and relevance was studied and analyzed repeatedly by so-called ...

Today in the Gregorian Calendar is the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of the third millennium or in short it is 06/06/06 which many people especially those who believe in esotericism is the number of the beasts which was further reinforced by the Holy Bible in-- Revelation Chapter 13, Verse 18, “Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast: for it is a human number; his number is six hundred and sixty- six.” The number 666 which was attributed as the Devil’s number by blind followers of religious zealots is also studied extensively by mathematicians as well as cryptology and numerology enthusiasts for ages and you’ll be amazed by the hundreds if not thousands of results with both scientific and inane relevance to our beliefs and knowledge that will further lead us to think on how complex the human brain works. The study of Gematria came to the fullest here. It has affected a lot of people and even inspired a cult among heavy metal followe...

I understand the dark gestures and the complexities of your answers As well as the hues of your inactions that were subtly painted by your pale palette in the canvas of life while aboard the Yellow Submarine behind the blues and beneath the shades I saw Lucy in the Sk y with Diamonds! John Lennon… the prolific singer- songwriter, the war- activist, the Peacenik, the former Beatle, the Dreamer, the Working ...
