Published
My cousin Boyet left me an offline message yesterday. He said "Cuz, I saw your poems in Davao Sunstar last Sunday.Congratz" I immediately asked Blow to find me a copy. Good thing his office subscribes to Sunstar so we were able to see it with our own eyes. It feels weird to see it in print(Ode to a boxer and Musings on a bus ride). When I wrote it the only publishing I had in mind was through this blog. I had illusions before in submitting to Youngblood but I can never seem to string enough words and can never seem to find a good topic. Anyways, I owe it all to Dom for submitting it to Dagmay (the Literary Journal of the Davao Writers Guild which appears every Sunday in the Weekend Sun Star Davao) and for believing that my words are fit enough for public consumption. He didn't even omitted the F-Word hehehe Salamat kaayo Dom!

Hello Acer!
A month ago my office unit, an HP laptop was judged to be beyond repair. The monitor was very dim and the techies said that it would cost P32,000 to replace the LCD. They said it was probably because I dropped it which I did…a couple of times actually. They wouldn’t issue me another laptop unit so I decided to buy my own. Good thing there are installment plans or else I couldn’t have afforded it. There are no fast cash payday loans available here...too bad. I bought an Acer Aspire 2920z! I love it because it’s only 12 inches and much lighter than the 14 inches HP.The only drawback was that the OS installed was Vista. Vista is flashy and all but it's slow.I wanted to install XP but I’m still giving Vista a try. Anyways the games I installed were compatible so I’m happy.Happy monthsary to my Acer!
Shooting Lessons
A couple of weeks ago Blow and I watched his cousin on a shooting tournament at Laud in Diversion Road. It was fun to watch but I get startled every time a shot was fired and you could just imagine how jumpy I was with all the guns shooting at once. Blow wanted to learn how to shoot and his cousin offered to give us shooting lessons. So the following Sunday we went back there. I just tagged along but haven’t really made up my mind if I’ll join in the lesson or not. I was planning to just watch but it looked fun and so I tried. The first thing that came to mind when I held the gun which was a 45 caliber was how heavy the gun was. I was really nervous and my hand was sweating profusely. When I fired my first shot I was taken aback by the impact of the recoil and despite the ear plugs I can still hear the gunshot which means it is very loud. My first shots were off target but the next few rounds I was improving. My hits were now on the Alpha zone...yay!
If only I could have a cash advance I would love to buy my own gun…perhaps a 9mm because they say it’s much lighter. Oh well I’m really looking forward to our next lessons :)
Vids here.

musings on a bus ride
As I sit here beside you
I realized how our lives are enmeshed
intertwined like our hands now
That when you’ll let go
My hand can still scratch, hold, touch
go about it’s routine
do what hands normally do
but it will always grope for yours
Seek your sweaty palms
Miss it’s warmth
Feel empty with the spaces
in between my fingers which
your long tapered fingers
with dirty uneven nails usually fill

Dream Quote
My dreams have become weirder and weirder. I would dream of movies, TV shows, commercials. These are all original and mere products of the imagination of my subconscious. Last night I even dreamed of a quote, The solidity of women lies in their generosity. The dream was so vivid that when I woke up the words were clearly marked in my mind. In my dream I was in a classroom and I have to read a quote from a book in front of the class. I was so nervous that when it was my turn, I forgot the page that I was supposed to read so to avoid embarrassment, I made a quote on the spot. It was really weird because the quote doesn’t make any sense, neither does my dream. Well anyway, I hope next time I would dream of a poem or a novel. Or it would be much better if I would dream of lottery numbers or even of winning in a casino and then waking up with a bucket of cash.

Trashed
The first thing I did when I got to the office was go to the bathroom and ahmm do my business. When I was about to throw my tissue in the trashcan, I noticed a crumpled letter. I can read out the words "kaya", "seryoso" and "i love you" and concluded that it was a love letter. Thousand possible scenarios raced through my brain on the story behind the trashed love letter. I was really tempted to pick it up so I can read the whole thing but propriety and hygiene or lack of it stopped me. Thus leaving me to wonder not only what happened to the owner of the letter but also what happened to the love letters I wrote and gave my ex loves. Did it also end up in trash just like how our relationship ended? Was it treasured and reread every now and then to reminisce the past? I made it a habit to keep letters for posterity's sake so i'll have something to show my grandchildren.

missing
The worst way to miss someone
is to see them everyday
yet knowing that you
can no longer
do the things you used to do
go to places you used to go
be what you used to be
