Kahapon, may pinasok yung doktor sa ilong ko. Parang karayom na straw na nakakabit sa tube. Nung nakita ko yung nasa tube, natawa ako tapos naalala ko andun nanay ko kaya sabi ko nalang "Yaaaak." May slurp slurp kasi, at naalala ko pa yung kay Mister Chuck Palahniuk na "shoo-rooook!" sa kwento niya. Kaso hindi ganun sa kin dahil errr iba yung nangyari (pero haha magkalapit?). Pakiramdam ko yung likod ng mata ko tinutusok tapos hinihila palabas sa ilong. Waw paano kaya kung yung eyeballs nasa nostrils?

Binigyan ako ng madaming tissue ulit, tapos prescription para sa antibiotics. Meron din akong nasal spray. Hindi ko alam kung may amoy siya o wala talaga. Di nga makaamoy e. Haha.

Pero [a]llergic [r]hinitis (gaah) daw yun. Nasa sistema ko na siya. Ayos. Di pa rin ako makahinga tapos yung pagkain, lasang mainit.

Masaya. Lilt and the Verve. Na-miss ko kayo asexually. Hahaha.

One scarf will catch and anchor in the wheel.
Such yellow sullen smokes
Make their own element. They will not rise,

But trundle round the globe
Choking the aged and the meek,
The weak

Hothouse baby in its crib,
The ghastly orchid
Hanging its hanging garden in the air,

Devilish leopard!
Radiation turned it white
And killed it in an hour.

[Galing sa "Fever 103°" ni Sylvia Plath. Nagkaroon pala siya ng chronic sinusitis.]

MLF is much to be glub and there are many smiles to be handed out.

Asexual ♥ to yoo - Pao, Akire, Carlo, Jill, AK, Xta (and Harmony and Kat too) - and asexual metaphysical hugs. Hee.


YEEEEY food and books and adventuring and literary glorve glorve glorve.



^-^

This be the amazing taxi name of double-doorness, which we saw on the way to Big Sky Mind for Malate Literary Folio’s 2nd issue Book Launch. Haha! Deciphering taxi labels was what most of the trip composed of, thanks to Netnet and Marc, Akire, Paula A. and AK.

Oh the happy! ^-^
Book Launches (MLF and Sir Baytan’s) all covered in more detail by Akire here. Go read hers instead because I am too lazy to update. Untwintwin-kuneho works this way too. Hahaha. I will, however, add this to the MLF Book Launch data:

Conversations in the Ladies’ C.R. at McDonald’s: (this British sitcom rip-off is probably why I was late for my reading. Oops.)
Paula: Why, wot is this?
Akire: I believe it’s wot the Americans call a –
Me, Akire and Paula: Hand dryer!
Paula: But wot does it do?
Me: It hands you dryers!
Paula (to hand dryer): May I have some dryers, please?
Me, Akire and Paula: Bwahahaha!

Well, that proves how my brain has turned to soup that night. Hahaha. When is it not soup, anyway?

I miss the red rhino in the MLF Office! Wub.

^-^

Wubs and metaphysical hugs to Akire, Carlo, Pao, Jill and Ivan.
♥ (asexual yis hahaha)

This entry is sponsored by the Accounting Office, Window Gee.

LASARET. Guess who got hugged by a priest.

Ms. Becky: Pero patay na siya by that time!
Sir Jun: Ay, may clone yan!


Sir Jun: Once upon a time tao ka. Ngayon hayop ka. Pero...I miss you.
Ms. Marj: I thought I missed you.


Sir Jun: Hindi ako anti-love ah.
Ms. Lara: Hindi ako katulad ni Marj ano!


Ms. Becky: Ano yung 'saloko'?
Sir Jun: Yung...wina-one time ka!


Ms. Lara: A work of art is work.
Sir Jun: And the product is the reward.


Conversations with Sir Jun on the way home, stopover at Colette's:
Me: [standing in line, looking lost haha]
Sir Jun: Ang babait nating mga bata 'no?
Me: (o___O) Bakit po?
Sir Jun: Dami nating pasalubong e.


Me: [still standing in line]
Sir Jun: [points to me] Ano yan?! Bakit 'di ko nakita yan?!
Me: [looks down on what she's holding] Panutsa po?
Sir Jun: Gusto ko rin niyan! Bigyan mo ko 'nun!
Me: :D

[emo] And life after that just seems so lame now. Last Cresta Monte workshop. :( [/emo]

Pens and Needles: Malate Convention for the Arts

1. Perfect the Basics (because the need to be true to what you want to say never goes poof)
2. Watch your Language (because not everything happens in Starbucks)
3. One Word at a Time (because we love the pain in the extra effort to produce a single utterance)
4. Kill Your Idols (because there is a rigor in the industry to make them all gods)

Sir Sarge Lacuesta

- The act of writing is the act of humanity.
- Kung wala kang topic, don't write!
- In order to get some kind of voice, you have to get enough volume first.
- The true topic of the artist is the self.
- The story behind every story is under the breath!
- How do you make that stretch? How do you go the distance?
- If you are going to write something, make it reflect who you truly are.
- The star of a story is the story.


Sir Efren Abueg

- Wala pa ring closure ang pagsusulat at paggala sa writer's world!
- Well, tama din yung Kill the Idols. Kami naman, Kill Everything! Kill God! Kill the Author!
- Ang sining ay malaya. Hindi natatalian ng paksa.
- Igiit niyo ang panitikan ninyo!
- Ang sining ang tinatawag nating pundasyon ng kaluluwa.

Sir Allan Popa

- Wala akong kayamanan kundi ang mga librong binili ko!
- Ang nagtatagumpay ay ang tula.
- Hindi ka nagsusulat para magpahirap.

Dr. Cirilo Bautista

- Poetry, mapapadala ko sa girlfriend ko yan! Have you ever sent a short story to your girlfriend?
- You know, literature can never bring down society!
- What writings do is change or alter our attitudes towards government!
- Literature should be in your blood, so writing can be in your blood!
- Forget all of this IF you have money.
- Dapat ang children's literature written by children!
- A good poet is not in the hills. He is in his room, eating french fries.

The last one gets my vote for best quote in the history of History.

Right now, I am eating popcorn though, not french fries. But then again I am not a poet, so popcorn it is!

My brain is happy. It has been fed.

And as for the rest of me,
chew the popcorn. That's all the glee you can get this week.

I still can't fathom why you make all my entrails fall out.

No.
Know.

Hey, Mister on the one-peso coin, I have a question.

When are you going to write yourself?

There is only a few bits of dawn for me to execute a mathematical equation in which I can affix certain paragraphs to make things work out for us. Do you really want things to work out? Then help me out, damn you.

Malate Literary Folio 2nd Book Launch

Iba talaga.

And a big Yey to me for not wearing the skirt. XD

Prepare yourselves for that which is violet.

The Death Predictor tells me I shall die by either:

ebonietheweird: At age 59 your head will explode after being exposed to Britney Spears for thirty-six consecutive hours!

or:

Neobie: At age 39 you will be gunned down in the street by hippies after enacting a bill that grants the WTO even more power.

Both are really likely. I should avoid hippies from now on. Haha.

* * *

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Eh? Wisdom and Knowledge?!?! Wtf?

( Kweezesh )

Sore throat, I'm sick of you. Stop showing up.

* * *

Today (or maybe yesterday...) around lunchtime I fell asleep in the Library trying to study for a EURHIST exam that was moved to Wednesday. I guess it was sheer exhaustion since I didn't really sleep last Sunday. Haha. ^^

Sleep is for the weak, and lack of sleep makes you weak.
Blahblahblahblah.

Okay, I haven't read my IPOLECO handouts. *goes off*
