i just realized it's founders week in silliman. i'm getting homesick.
funny quirk of a sillimanian: no matter where you are from, whether davao, manila or ghana, a sillimanian will always say, "mouli ko'g dumaguete".
i guess, we've all found our true selves here so it'll always seem like a birthplace to us.

Hi Teng,
Being a Sillimanian is amazing isn't it? I've been attempting to write about what it means to me, and i failed miserably. there's more to it than what i could manage to translate into words.
you are correct there ... we did found ourselves in Silliman so it's home ... and the brotherhood that immediately comes to life among every Sillimanian is but a small glimpse of this truth ... and i stated, Silliman opens the gateway to the past, when we lived the best days of our lives.
I am sorry to hear about your godson. I hope that you have all been able to turn this regretable experience into something positive, like a valuable lesson in his young life. that time in prison should teach him to keep these gangs at least 100 km away from him. i am not saying that he got involved with them, but he will do well to stay away from anybody who is remotely associated with these gangs.
wishing him nothing but smooth sailing from now on. best regards.
by the way, you're from Davao right? In case you havent stumbled on Dom Cimafranca yet, you might want to check this out:
