Immobile

This picture was taken during Keith's birthday. While it was fun, all that I have been having within here are regressions of the days that indoctrinated me to the whole. I have been heavily listening to the songs of the eraserhaeads these few, been ignoring a lot of stuff, mon's business proposals with ros, meg's offer for a job at the bank and recently keith's message about an opening at the center. Last night the video applications started skipping and it made me think there for a bit. Soon all these will be over, and I will be left with nothing. At the corner of my mind I know there's a waiting, and it's just all up to me. These are tough times.

Shake Yer Head

I just don't know what to say, men. Here's looking back at how everything started. What strated out wrong. I was hired underaged as a service crew. The rest was history. This picture, I don't even know where to begin. There's only three of us in my batch, Maureen at the counter, Rey for outside order deliveries, and me doing the beverages. We were like siblings, but you know how it is with siblings, relationships are assured, so after checking on one and the other you hang out with the rest. These guys were my senior, workbatch and age. In the months that followed i will have to be joined by another batch and more, but here was where I got my education. There's Ken, he taught me the ropes of the beverage department. Orange Brutus was our place for fried chicken and the bestest gravy I've tasted yet. It's long closed. The next guy is Nicky, mister gigolo, the strike anywhere guy. The guy below him, I forgot his name, probably because he was my first dose of competition, now I'm reminded of Ana, the management trainee. She's long gone. Hers was a tragic death. The girl in the middle I think her name is Joyce or something. No relation whatsoever. I don't know if it got any longer, probably... The two other girls, Marie and Dhalia. Marie I found out had her eyes on me who were best friends with Dhalia whom I hit it off with whom Ken my buddy was pursuing... It was from this particular point in time when I came of age, and the whole time this band on the radio painted our history, end of contract...

River Duckies

This is the Los Amigos River. the day after i got home this was the very first thing i did. go for a swim in the river. the kid here is my nephew, in this trip, we headed first to the cliff which is actually a treasure pit and we spent over an hour jumping off of it. then the river finally for a swinging swim. this is the river that taught me how to swim by the way, some years back, so, feels like homecoming too...

Vermin Abortion

books. see, am really not so much into it now like i did before. i have three original books to my possession, the pulitz angela's ashes, tony keidis' biography scar tissue, and an original abnkkbsnplako. these are first prints and i bought it when the philippines still doesn't know anything about its release. aside from these three, the rest are as important cos its got nice covers. so it came to pass...
termites. and my father was wondering why i had to burn it separately and had to vigil till it goes down to ashes. i call it decent burial. in nomini patri, et filii, and the holy toast. some things are just not easy to let go off. parting is such an oxymoron. sigh, sigh.

Chunks!

Today i chopped wood. It wasn't easy but this isn't my first time so... It started Monday when the folks hired people to trim down the overly extending branches of the fruit trees and when i got to the farm the trimmings were all over the ground so i decided to do some chopping for firewood. On my way to the farm i chanced upon Edgar on his way home past mid noon. I asked if there was no work to do, said they're sent home cos it's drizzling but that they'll be back to take care of the loam. As we were leaving the three boys were all smiles after work for gathering about two sacks of lose grains from the threshing late last week. It's nice to see them all smiles for getting a bonus. Seriously am still in limbo about staying but, i don't know. I just love it the things that makes me smile here. I got a mail from Filimon when i got home about some beach essentials business he was propsing to me and Ros. Let's see, here...
