Sudden thoughts

I don't have all the answers. But it's great that way. The process of getting the answers I need has been such a grand adventure. 

Besides, where's the fun in knowing everything from the onset?

    Ditto.

    Where's the fun in looking at the last page of a book to make sure a happy ending is in the offing? ;)

    Not me. At least for books. I have been won't to ask if an unknown movie ends with someone dying, though. =D But the sanctity of book endings is to me inviolable. =D

Dahil may hang-over pa ako sa 20 questions

Dahil di pa ako maka get-over sa one act play na yan na puro dialogue. Ito'y pang katuwaan lang naman na kathang-isip. The return of Nina Angela C. Carvajal   “Are you eating that?”   “Yes. Lay off my brownie.”   “Pahingi, kahit kurot lang.”   “Ayoko nga. Your kurot would mean two thirds of my brownie gone.”   “Sobra ka naman! Pakagat nalang.   “Sige na nga. Ang daya mo talaga. Kinain mo na nga yung tatlo and now you’re after my brownie.”   “Haven’t had lunch eh. Ayaw mo kasi akong ilibre.”   “So kasalan ko pa ngayon? Why are you here anyway? Aren’t you supposed to be studying at the library or something?”   “I’m visiting you. Aren’t you touched? Ang sweet ko nga eh, di ba? I’m visiting you in your decrepit studio.”   “Wow! Thanks for the insult. Hay nako, sabihin mo tinatamad ka nanaman kaya tatambay ka ulit dito.”   “Korek! Kaya ilibre mo na ako.”   “I fail to see the connect...

For Lolo Foy on his 90th birthday

Image
October 4, 2012 Dearest Lolo Foy, Happy birthday! You turn 90 years old today and that is, by current standards, no mean feat. I remember that the last time I wrote something like this for you was at your 80 th , when we held a party for you at a function hall in Kamuning, Quezon City. I may have forgotten the name of the place but I remember that we had a tribute for you then as well. Some apo I've turned out to be to have needed ten years to pass by before coming up with something new for you. I have taken you for granted. I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

I am just glad that I can stand in front of you and the family today to be able to thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for me.

Skipping Stones

(Here's something I wrote back in 2005. I stumbled across it again while reviewing my friendster blog and thought, "Hey I like what I wrote." Nhinya thought it was nice, too, and to me that says a lot. So I'm reposting it here. Makes me wonder if I should've used all 9 free electives on creative writing subjects to sharpen my skills, so  to speak.) Someone called out my name and I looked up from the book I was browsing. I looked over the bookshelf and I saw her looking back at me. I replaced the book and walked over to the best sellers section, where she stood. I smiled. She smiled. And like we had always done, we suddenly broke into laughter. It had been a while since we last met and besides the corporate get up we wore, nothing much changed. “Wow, you’re wearing heels,” I said. “Office policy. It makes me look tall, doesn’t it?” she grinned. “Yup. Before you only reached up to my chin but now you’re up to my ear. Great improvement.” ...
