You&#8217;re aboard your car or some public transport, and you’re on your way to somewhere fearsome, something momentous. 
You know the drill. 
Your chest feels like it’s getting drilled. You gulp down inordinate amounts of saliva, and it feels as if a swarm of pupae hitched a ride down into your [...]<br/>

January 8, 2008 marked the kick-off for the University of the Philippines&#8217; Centennial Celebration. The event wasn&#8217;t grand &#8212; it was spectacular. One week has passed and I&#8217;m still euphoric, especially when browsing through my and other people&#8217;s photos and videos.

It was a celebration, all right &#8212; a fÃªte to a dozen or so young poets who survived six months of one badass poetry clinic. (I mean that in a good way.)
