Who you calling a freak?
by Nicola M. Sebastian - June 23, 2012 - 12:00am
Oh my gosh, I’m such a geek.” You know the type. A babe in tortoise-shell glasses flippantly tossing about the statement, backing it with an admission of watching Big Bang Theory, or writing in a Moleskine...
Meet the modern Maria Clara
by Nicola M. Sebastian - June 9, 2012 - 12:00am

Once upon a time, basically yesterday, there was a little song that could.
Kahuna sunrise
by Nicola M. Sebastian - March 25, 2011 - 12:00am
There’s a new silhouette on the shoreline of San Juan, La Union, and it definitely does not belong to a coconut tree, bahay kubo, or even an unassuming traveler’s hostel.
Baler-bound
by Nicola M. Sebastian - January 22, 2011 - 12:00am
It’s amazing how a New Year, a concept invented by a creature that’s obsessed with beginnings and ends, seems to scrub the days clean again, sweeping away all the accumulated dirt of past doings under...

Going gypset
by Nicola M. Sebastian - April 16, 2010 - 12:00am
My sister once told me — after having traveled around Mexico for a couple of months, much to my parents’ chagrin — that anyone who backpacks for longer than a year or two is usually more than a...
Zambapalooza 3: Putting the fun in fundraising
by Nicola M. Sebastian - December 5, 2009 - 12:00am

What would Jesus do?
by Nicola M. Sebastian - August 1, 2009 - 12:00am
He stands alone. Shouldering the burdens of a sinful, shameless world. A man who can never be one of us.

by Nicola M. Sebastian - August 1, 2009 - 12:00am
The Philippines may have chalked up a couple of Miss Universes and biracial celebrities in the quest for global glory, but what you may not know is that we’ve produced a winner for an unlikely category in...
Taylor-made, just for you

Colour deficiency disorder
by Nicola M. Sebastian - July 4, 2009 - 12:00am
Despite the rise of the metrosexual, there are still guys out there who find fashion as unfathomable as those impossible crossword puzzles in the Sunday paper. Truth is, the answer to all your wardrobe riddles...
