The 25th
I should be doing my laboratory reports. I’ve been making that as an excuse ever since I created this little space in the net (which has spanned exactly two years today). And maybe, some of the people who passed here know that already but to those who don’t and wound up reading this, well…I’d be…

Kinse Minutos
Ilang ulit na ba akong umupo sa silyang ito habang nakatunganga sa kumikindat na cursor ng MS Word? iIlang beses na ba akong nahuli na nag-iisip na baka sakaling sa kabila ng mga salitang ito, baka nababasa mo ‘to? Sa lahat ng pagkakataong ‘yon, ano kaya ang ginagawa mo? Nagmamadali ako dahil ayaw kong abutan…

Lyseria
Lips cut from dew and honey claimed Mine and no longer am I For myself – for I am for this world Of colors, divine, raw and enchanting, Melodious although I swore stillness before – Me stands a dream resting upon my hands, Drowning, engulfing me into a dance, Of limb and lung and hip…

Jaded
For the length that I lived, I catch myself falling for someone from time to time; obsessively and irrevocably admire someone from afar (stalking). And from this longing brought forth by the various men who have been in my life (whether they know or otherwise) is where I draw my passion for writing. That is…

The Next Thing I Break This Coming Year
‘Di na ako magmumura. Hanggang shit nalang. Wala nang putangina. ‘Di na ako iinom ng softdrinks. Mineshine, iced tea, juices, tubig at kape nalang. ‘Di na muna ako magma-Magic. Bubuuin ko nalang ‘yong legacy deck ko. ‘Di na ako mambabara ng tao. Kahit kabara-bara ang nangyayari. Pananatiliin kong visible ang sahig ng kwarto ko. Sana.…

Hintayan Blues
Haplos sa keypad ng celphone. Naghihintay ng mensaheng hindi darating. Punta ka pa? Ang init nanaman. Nakatulog na kalahati ng katawan sa kahihintay. Maagang nagising dahil ayaw sana abutan ng init. Tanghali na. Nawala na ang hamog ng umaga. Nakailang lingon na rin si kuya guard. Bawal ata umupo sa batong mesa. Iced coffee ni…

Altena
Music flows from the foothills Through windswept prairies down Toward silent catacombs and Depths remaining hollow and brimming All the same. As the music reaches me, cornered From I where I rinse my limbs And put them to rest, suddenly I hear the verbatim ramblings, Crisply cutting through the night, My life in rhythmic cadence…

A Few Lines Off The Usual
Nakasayaw ko sa prom ang aking crush mula sa 3rd year (fourth year ako noon). Naiiyak ako tuwing naaalala ko iyong gabing iyon. Isinayaw niya ako sa udyok ng aking kaklase. Sobrang thank you sa kanya. Pero grabe, nakakaiyak lang talaga ang sandaling iyon. Noong nagkadaupang-palad kami. Noong nagrubbing-elbows kami. Oh. My. Gawd. Nakakaiyak talagang…

The Face Behind the Blinking Ref Bulb
The title of this post is pronounced like so: lie-see-ree-uh (with a twang at the end). The previous post (Mortianna) is pronounced like this: more-tea-ah-nuh (also with a twang at the end). I don’t know why I’m actually putting up a pronunciation guide for the titles in my post where I could choose not to…
