Munting Espasyong Handog ng Dalawang Araw: DSF Matapos ang Tatlong Buwan
Ni Beatrix Bautista Likha ni Aoi Reyes Kalabog ng dibdib dulot ng naghuhuramintadong puso ang siyang umalingawngaw sa muling pakikipagsapalaran para sa kinabukasan. Bitbit sa magkabilaang mga kamay ang patong-patong na gawaing iisang petsa lamang ang hangganan. Nang umapak sa kanlunga’y walang magawa kundi muling humarap sa iskrin kahit pilit na hinahatak ang mga paa…
Kalipayon: Overcoming Obstacles with a Smile
By Olivia Infante and Joaquin Yulo Thumbnail by Pia Punzalan Every single street light in the night-fallen city luminously buzzes with jolts of electricity as neon glow sticks light up the sidewalks.

Dakong Nakaraan: Larong Pilipino
Mula sa mga nayon ng ating bansa, nanatili ang mga bansag na palaro ng ating kultura sa gitna ng dayuhang impluwensiya. Mula sa mga balat ng niyog at buko ng mga nangingisdang komunidad hanggang sa mga sigay na ginagamit sa sungka—heto ang lima sa narakaraming palarong Pinoy mula sa dakong nakaraan hanggang sa kasalukuyan.
Alaala ng Paglalakad
Sa mga mabatong lakaran sa kampus ng Ateneo, ramdam natin ang ihip ng hangin sa pag-apak sa mga nahulog na sanga ng mga puno. Dinig natin ang tunog ng pira-pirasong bumubulok na dahon sa semento patungo sa ASHS.
