10 years ago I graduated from DLSU. 10 years ago I would never imagine that I would be doing what I am doing today. Yes, it has been a decade since and there were a lot of life lessons learned, expectations that were not met, disappointments, and of course successes too. 10 years ago, I…

An Education
I have always wanted to be an editor.

Granted, these shows, filled to the brim with compelling stories don’t get many viewers because unbelievably, most people…
Rant and Rave: Welcome to Night Vale
Rating: Welcome to Night Vale (WTNV) is your ordinary community radio show narrated by the eloquent host Cecil Gershwin Palmer (voiced by Cecil Baldwin).
