like a reed..

you breathe life into me,
your gentle movement gives me Soul.
your whisper becomes my voice -
a soothing music that echoes in empty space.

three text poetry pages are now up.

I found a copy of Hungry Young Poets album. woot! :D It was more expensive than barbie's cradles new one too. bleh. But it seemed i didnt have much of a choice so i bought it. I listened to bc's playing in the fields then hyp over and over and there are a few ones form the new album that i instantly liked but i'm still missing their old sound a bit. Or maybe it's the familiarity..


A totally unrelated observation: my recent dreams are more interesting than real life.

MindSwap finally changes its look after a looooong time. I'm still attached to #333333 and oranges and reds and verdana and small fonts and "almost" everything is the same except the look. "Almost," coz a few things have been updated and removed and a few will be brought back and some other things will be added soon. If only I'm not lazy enough to stick to promises... ;p

Thanks to ms for checking things out and for giving suggestions while i re-design. :)

Look around, enjoy, and tell me where the busted links are ;p

It's Leche Flan Fiesta Season!

Umm, but yeah, there are fiestas every month the whole year. This is the Fiesta Islands after all. But the ones that matter are those I can go to, yeah? :p I was at Alfonso, Cavite last Saturday, and Padre Garcia in Batangas yesterday. The fiestas in these towns are not as grand as big time festivals with huge parades. This is just the typical town fiesta with marching bands in the morning and small processions at night and almsot the same good food in every house. Another thing that's becoming common in these fiestas these days are the videoke's in every other house. I'm not sure if this is a good thing :p Videoke machines enclosed in small sound proof rooms are ok. Sing April Boy's newest single (which sounds like his every other song) or do a Macarena number and I wouldnt care. Ones outside houses, with people insisting they are great singers by singing as loud as they can, are not.

I'm being mean :p I should just let them have their fun...

Last saturday night I was at a despedida-party-for-Ishq's-Mike slash grand-eyeball-of-sorts slash Dublin's-dpsi-officemates'-reunion ;p Mike arrived a few weeks ago from the states to visit Ishq, and he'll be leaving tomorrow. Dublin's kewl dpsi officemates cooked the food. I was there to meet them and say Hi to MIke before he goes back to nc. He said he like Manila, and that shocked me. :p How can something so crowded and noisy and dirty be appealing? *kamot ulo*

Great yummy food. Fantastic superfunny people. And (no) thanks to work I left them just as they were getting the hard drinks. Not that its the alcohol I feel bad missing, coz I dont drink. Because of work I was not able to see how superkulit and funnier they'll be after several shots of gin.

Haaay.
