A FORMER editor of mine once told me that every little thing we experience in life is brought by “a combination of sheer
coincidence and the choices that we make.” I used to share the same sentiments with her, but failed to admit it, probably because of being too afraid to stand by the choices that I madee. Read More..

Editor's Note
“Vincit Qui Pati tur”
The above-mentioned Latin phrase has an English translation that says, “he conquers who endures.” Attributed to the Roman poet Persius, this remark says much about success as an offshoot of constant persistence and dedication.Read More..

Touch-move
By: NICKKY FAUSTINE P. DE GUZMAN
MORE than the classroom-based lessons I have learned in my four years in college, my stay at the University has taught me an important message in life that is very much applicable once I step out of the walls of my alma mater.

Untimely death of a relationship
By: CAMILLE ANNE M. ARCILLA
A FRIEND once told me that in writing fiction, “death is the best subplot there is.” It sounds too tragic, but I must admit that I also find this remark applicable in real life.
Death, which is often associated with the end of all life forms, also connotes bidding farewell. When someone dies, that person says good bye to Read More..

THIS column crawls out of my mind’s corners hesitantly as I wonder how to begin to write the end. In my four years as a campus writer, I have come to realize that it is the end that is hardest to write. It is because in the end, the writer questi ons if it is worth to begin at all.

An open letter
By: KRISTINE ELIZABETH B. DIHIANSAN
Life is a joke and the joke is in our hands, my friend once said. Believe it or not, one of the biggest jokes that occurred during my four-year stay here at the Faculty of Arts and Letters (Artlets) was when I originally entered as literary writer of this publication--in hopes of honing my literary skills--but ended up as the editor of its Read More..
