January 3, 2007"makuha ka sa tingin," yun marahil ang una mong iniisip kapag mayroong nangahas sumingit sa napakahaba at tipong magpakailanmang pila. "mabunggo ka sana," yun marahil ang panalangin mo sa taong singit ng singit sa traffic habang ikaw ay tahimik na tumatahak sa isang linya ng kalsada. "eto racumin", yun marahil ang gusto mong ipakain sa mga taong nambalasubas sayo. nais mong pasabugin ang sss dahil sa tagal ng pag proseso sa pensyon mo. ang sarap sigurong i-choke slam ang taong nang aaway sayo. ang gandang pagmasadang nakabitin ng patiwarik ang mga mmda sa flyover ng edsa. ang sarap sigurong ilibing ng buhay ang mga hiphop. tama lang na gripuhan sa tagiliran ang boss mong panay ang pahirap sayo. malapit mo nang batukan ang taong nangungulit sayo… at syempre lahat ng ito ay pawang kuro-kuro lamang na dala ng matinding imahinasyon.
hindi mauubos ang listahan ng mga bagay na nakakabadtrip lalo na kapag sa iyong pananaw, ikaw ay naglalaro ng tapat at malinis. kailangan lang ng pasensya upang makaiwas sa kapahamakan. sabi nga ni axl rose "all we need is a little patience." o diba! ginawan pa ng kanta ng guns and roses. uy bestfrend sana mabasa mo ito. alam kong nanlilisik na yung mga mata mo sa galit dahil sa kakulitan ko. pero salamat sa pagtitimpi. libre nalang kita mister kebab sa sabado. tapos libre mo ako ng movie (joke lang). nay, kahit hindi ka marunung mag internet at siento por siento hindi mo mabasa ito, nagpapasalamat ako sa araw araw na ginawa ng poong maykapal hindi ka nauubusan ng pasensya sa akin. tang and ating, takot ako sa inyo kaya di ko kayo masyado kinukulit.

It is a good day to die
January 2, 2007i lie half-dead with Sol's gentle ray filling the gaps
beneath the sheaths, it slowly slits my soul's straps
like a clean slate with no trace of hate
to god i succumb, i entrust my fate
whether it be eternal damnation
in hell with no chance of pardon
a highway to the road of perdition,
or the less traveled path of human reason
inside the golden gates that admits only love divine
no possessions, nothing is yours nothing is mine
unaffected by the hands of time
it is a good day to die, so it seems
much better a funeral!
with a clear day and a gentle breeze
i know it doesn't get any better than this
but wait, what is this smell?
fried rice sautéed to perfection,
it's scent tempting and taunting me to it's direction
it is not a good day to die, so it seems
not when mom is cooking breakfast on a Sunday morning

January 1, 2007Boom! As another “Boga” shoots up. I wasn't prepared so I was surprised by the monstrous sound, quite frankly, I jerk every time something blows up unexpectedly. I don't drink coffee so I think caffeine overdose is out of the question. Two hours from now, 2006 will go down in the history books just like last year and all the previous years before (sounds familiar eh?). There are a lot of things that happened in 2006 that I would never forget, and this could be the reason for this blog entry. I also thought that blogging, since its catching attention worldwide, would be a in list of must-do-before-the-year-ends stuff section. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the type who jumps into the bandwagon on sight. I just want to give it a shot, no harm in trying right? In addition, writing relieves stress especially when you have suppressed or piled ideas that you cant voice out in public. Freedom died the day GMA grabbed the presidency. Also, I can avoid raps for unintentionally writing utterly malicious posts. ( evil grin) Idiotic but pragmatic.
On the contrary, I feel the lack of writing prowess. I am not a writer and obviously I don't have any influence in the society I belong to. I am just your average joe. I don't have good grammatical foundation and I am a little hazy on prepositions. The verdict is that my work is teeming with grammatical lapses. But who cares anyway? Sooner or later I'll stop this crap, just like my previous endeavors that never gone farther than second base. But then again, I might discover something. I might actually learn something in the process and pass second base! Maybe you can tell me something I don't know. Why did Ultimate Warrior suddenly disappear in the WWF? What do you think of gathering all our waste and dumping them in outer space? What are the names of the cast of Smurfs? Can someone lose fifty per cent of his hearing when he falls from a wheel-barrow? These questions, although senseless, require tons of research and they bother me in my idle moments.
This year opened a new door for me. I got a chance to study again in a good university after getting my ass whipped in a large pharmaceutical company. I also experienced my first heartbreak and my first major car accident. Ouch! I can still remember the grim face on my sister when she saw her car in the middle of EDSA Quezon Avenue with a bent hood, wrecked bumper and, busted headlights. Plus an unforgiving screeching sound on the front wheel every time you step on the breaks. It was also the year when my sister left to study in a far place. I never thought that she was damn serious when she said she wanted to be independent. All I can do is root for your success and wait for the balikbayan box containing an Xbox360, Ipod Nano and a bundle of greenbacks. Time check. 1 hour left before the year officially ends. I realized that I have just typed a few lines and seventy per cent of it is gibberish. My dad is sitting on the couch indulging on a new book ; while outside, Manang is on her nth song on the videoke. Even in the confines of our house and the thick cement wall that separates us, her voice like a wireless router, sound waves passing through solid walls, my ears are about to retire from the torturous sound. I will never forget her rendition of Sir Elton John's Skyline Pigeon. Please make it stop.
