. Songs that make you go HMMM... On the way to work, I heard song remade by Kyla: I look into your eyes so far away there's trouble on your mind your losing faithhey now let me hold you it'll be okay 'cause i will love you til' they take my heart away Which made me wonder, who exactly are "they" and why do they want to take away her heart?

Launching into Global Frequency-action, I texted a couple of people and found out they were already 25 years old. I texted back, “You’re too old!” One of them replied, “hehehe that’s the first time anyone’s ever that!” A couple of more texts and Andrew Drilon finally replied. Aha! He fit the category. I later remembered that I had Angelo Suarez’s book at home and texted Pepe that they should include Angelo as well. I don’t personally know Angelo, but I’ve read about him, and got his book, and he’s only 20 and already won several Palanca Awards. Bummer. It was just interesting, and a bit shocking, to suddenly feel that generation gap, of not knowing a whole lot of people who are a decade younger than me. It also made me
