The Interim

Hi guys... This is going to be a short message to y'all... I have been neglecting posting anything on this blog since I am very busy with work and other activities... Siguro naman maiintindihan niyo... Well, there has been a lot of promise on the writing front, and nakapagpasa ako ng mga isinulat ko sa mga workshops at mga publishing entities... Promise, I will update this at least once a week... Thanks, and stay tuned to further developments...

through the looking glass, and other writings

sinimulan kong magbasang muli ng mga aklat sa aking munting aklatan... marami pa pala akong hindi pa nababasa sa mga ito, at mahirap magbasa ng kaunting oras lang ang kaya mo; lalo na kapag mayroon kang hanap-buhay, at ang mumunting oras na natitira sa araw mo ay mas gugustuhin mong gamitin sa pagpapahinga... pero, ginugugol ko ang aking oras sa pagbabasa ng mga aklat na hindi ko pa nababasa, katulad na lamang ng isang aklat na nabili ko sa Dia del Libro noong 23 Abril...

after a long, long time...

this is my first blog post after almost three years... never knew that i would ever need it, to be honest... but, i have promised to myself that i would be more attentive and create an outlet for my creative juices and sparks of ideas...

here is the first poem i wrote after a long time of hiatus...

Parallax

No one man thinks that

everything would be possible,

fear always creeps in,

making you lose focus,

ambition, sanity; even life

is not safe from the blackness

of terror, its icy grip always

closes in and reaches for

your heart, numbing every

little action, every muscle

in your body, leaving you

paralyzed and weak, staring

in disbelief at your own

figment of dark imagination.

- For little Enzo

yesterday, i saw a new comic character in artasia called pilak... i'm thinking of going back there to buy a copy, but i'm a little apprehensive of it...

neglecting...

i have been neglecting my blog for many months now... always saying i am busy with these or busy with those... to set the record straight, i have really been busy... my girlfriend feels that she has been neglected for so long, frustration evident in her short, calculated gestures of communicating with me... yes, i have been a bad boyfriend, and i have learned a very valuable lesson in humility... neglect is not a very good action, and having many excuses to be somewhere else and doing something else does not help at all...

summation of x is...

Virtual assimilation of a person would have been successful, if it were not for that person’s problematic behavior. But, whenever people escape in to the virtual world, everything is only postponed, the inevitable laid in pause mode, until they “escape” from the unreal via reality check. It is somewhat clichéd to think of it this way, but it’s the truth. No one escapes, only delays the chain of events they have let loosed by making a decision. and that decision cannot be proven right or wrong, until the following events would have answered it... 

an upcoming sci-fi flick from Finland has been giving me shivers of anticipation... the movie, Iron Sky, is about one of the lost sci-fi topics ever to become circulated rumors, Nazis in Space... the trailers were so impressive that my friends and i were thinking of demanding to see it in our country... support Iron Sky, and the nazis-in-space would be revived...
