A book has a cover and pages made of leaves, but they are more than that; they can define people. They often say, you can definitely judge a person based from the books they read. But as one age as a reader, it will become clear that it is the book that chooses the reader. Not the other way around. 📚

Call for Entries, extended.

The walk of life is our progress, yet as we move to encounter something new, boxes and blocks that carved their essence within us will sooner or later be left behind. It may feel like a void in our vibrance to cut their chains with us but to move forward means to leave them—that, to continue living is leaving something.

In a world where everything is temporary, we all carry concealed jars of leaving aches, but behind the searing poignancy of goodbyes is the art of living and leaving. The call for entries of our Literary Folio is extended, open until May 30, 2023

Upload your entries of goodbyes here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13e3AM8mrKVeDxFP0L6q4Y-Di8tQpra2O?fbclid=IwAR080HCsNUmgfH6EekDgBXNVrw7B-2KOEDQYycxLWA6pBo4Ox_HHl_MQEvE, with the file name “TITLE - [PROSE / POETRY / ART / PHOTO]”.

Old pictures that had been glued to the wall for ages had finally been removed; those pilled-up magazines and books had been arranged on big brown boxes; the scattered paper and broken things were thrown away in the recycling bin—everything that had started the fire had been put out; the burning passion had settled down like the sea; but a tiny little wave, waving hello, could make a tsunami so huge. Stories will end and goodbyes will never be untold. The war has ended and now, it is time to hug them tight. Leaving something behind is not always gray, consonant to goodbyes behind its pricking thorns to say. To the people who had fought with us since day one of our fights. To every entity that nurtured the seed that had grown into a beautiful bud where everyone was free to speak.

We continue here.

Love Lost in Letters

Preserving affection is not always the manifestation of self-shackling toward the endless pit of “I shouldn’t have”. Sometimes, it is protecting what you already have over what you feel, or it is a star you couldn’t grasp, and embrace that its beauty is for your eyes only. The path of confession always ends up divided into two: the surprise route of risk and the safe’s dead end what ifs.

Today, the letters as leaves have been carried by the winds of post-valentine breeze. Admirers with distinct sentiments open in secrecy, of how different forms of love have sprouted and grown, stimulating their entity. As the month of love comes to an end, a sprinkle of pink and red on the air smear the tint of the present to once again invigorate the real Feb feels as we unseal what they feel.

UNP-LS Seizes Heart’s Day Celebration

Color-coded attires. Fancy decorations. Sweet smiles.

All were highlighted in the school for the Valentine’s Day celebration.

The University of Northern Philippines - Laboratory Schools conducted classroom-based programs for each of the grade levels during Heart's Day, February 14.

Love Lost in Letters

Some would say love finds us with an unforeseeable strike while others grasp upon the idea that love is a seed planted to germinate as we carve its fate in our lives. Amidst love’s ineffable spectrum, we still arrive at a conventional notion that love is felt. It could be for your family, and friends, and not limited to lovers, platonic or romantic. To love and feel love is a dove soaring vastness above, yet its reckoned freedom of revelation, in fact, comes with restriction.

You got something to say, but the atoms congested in your throat seem to remain at a standstill; all the hair of your living body appears to be needles prickling your skin; and the butterflies tickle your stomach, hinting at your nervousness. Perhaps you’re holding a love you don’t tell anyone due to the fear of rejection, judgment, or even the loss of sacredness, but you know that your love for them deserves to emanate and be known by the world.

To celebrate this month of love, let The Bud be your confidante as you confess your love to anyone or anything, as you, the sender, remain a secret admirer.

Interested writers are requested to exclude their name and the name of the recipient.

Send your poem of confessions through our e-mail: [email protected] with the file name "TITLE - [PEN NAME]".

The Housekeeper

A huge void is what they are; a blank canvas that no painter wants to use; a feeling of nothing—empty boxes are just all they are. The Housekeeper Twin trails of desperation, Rush down your cheeks, Lassitude takes over. Isolated as you are, The mocking doesn’t stop. It never does. You do not deserve to cry You do not deserve to tire You do not deserve to feel Serve them until your bones give in, Serve them until you have nothing left to give, Serve them. —— Words by: Yansen Rehsya Cabalce Reading by: Rejeane Anne Tabuyo Video by: Rejeane Anne Tabuyo Aireen Jade Ancheta Gerizia Mae Clarisse Estigoy Almira Pe Benito #Bodega 📦

Loud Silence

It doesn't matter if it has a tiny crack or is falling to pieces—it's broken, but why is it still in the bodega? Loud Silence chirping of crickets for years of existence, rain poured thunder roared calmly flowed along the vastness of blank decibel. an urge had woken to let out a roar stored from the beginning of spring filled up to the recent and overflowed as it reached its extent. a still cup provides alarm only when it overflows. to be quiet is not always serenity —— Words by: Jermaine Dwayne Perlas Reading by: Jermaine Dwayne Perlas Video by: Jermaine Dwayne Perlas Jono Ragonton Crystalline Gwyneth Quadra Francis Faey Reyes #Bodega 📦

You're not my ocean

A thread of the past—the trip down the memory lane begins here. The clothes we used to wear now find a place in the bodega. You're not my ocean I saw my initials lying on the sand Said you outlined it To profess your affection And I thought, Maybe that’s just what lovers do But it had no appeal Funny how these seemingly romantic ideals Mean the world and the empty void, At the same time You’re not my ocean You’re just rainwater that goes up And pours back down to me I may have finally figured out, Why you thought of doing such an act It’s because you knew When the sun resurrects I’d be nothing but a folklore Heard from the waves’ mouths —— Words by: Sophia Chan Reading by: Yzabella Devadeb Video by: Angelique Foronda Jeysed Denille Llanes Lourianne Joyce Pla Sarah Jane Luczon Yzabella Devadeb Christian Jehro Ulita #Bodega 📦
