a little joy

while standing up or walking under a canopy of trees, a sudden gust of wind then a shower of leaves.

that is always something to smile and be happy about. ;p

now that's marketing!

i was skimming through neil gaiman's journal when i saw a link sent in by one of his readers. this is definitely a creative, engaging and quite effective way to market a book (or any product for that matter)! it almost made me want to get the book online. except, oops! no credit card. tee-hee!

do do do check it out. even if you don't plan to get the book, it's very amusing. :)

breathe

just for tonight.

tomorrow... it's another dizzying day. at least, i have my tonight... something i've been missing the past week.

sarap.

i will waste it watching american idol, e news daily, daily ten and project runway. then finish the sacrifice series of the identity crisis of dc comics. bow.

blue moon

Is a rare occurrence of having two full (fool) moons in a month. I could have been the only person experiencing that last night.

The bus going back to Davao zipped through the highway between Malaybalay and Valencia. Trees and houses whipped by, existing barely a second to my reality.

For seven o’ clock in the evening, the world seemed to have surreal brightness I can’t seem to pinpoint.

Until I saw the moon rise. Amidst the mountains of Bukidnon, a mesmerizing pale yellow globe rising through dark clouds with shining outlines. Wow…

It has been a while since I saw a moon rise, and the last time was also on a bus trip home. I guess you could say those are the perks of my job - the endless possibilities of witnessing God’s creations in various circumstances, none of which occur too often. A fat pay check to go with that would be great too, though.

I couldn’t take my eyes of her. She was a seductive temptress that beckons to anyone who makes the mistake of ogling her. The moon only needed to be to entice. There is no need to flip her hair or bite her lip or play with the mouth of her wine glass.

Then my blue moon.

In the stillness of the water from the rice paddies appeared the other moon.

Perhaps the evil twin of the one I was staring at? Or maybe the moon of a parallel dimension? Or has luna-cy taken me over and is making my imagination run wild?

Whatever it was, I was looking at twin moons that moment. One still rising almost imperceptibly, the other dipping deeper into the murky pools of the darkness.

If only my camera could capture the beauty my eyes have beheld. No matter how much I try to describe what I saw, I could never recapture what I have witnessed.

It could be one of those things that should be experienced in solitude.

hello.

buhay pa ako.
pagod.
pero buhay.

nagpaparamdam lang.

confused (a stream of consciousness quickie)

just got down from the mountains. again. just returned to cell phone signal and contact with civilization.

i made grown men cry, including the st. peter barangay captain and some of his officials. many other women cried, including myself. it is the end of our support in our community there. and leaving is never easy. so many tears shed in three days. sigh. but there is something to be optimistic about. and i got to bring home two native bags, one native banig, one beaded necklace and two placemats. i might not have to buy anything from the stalls anymore. hehehe!

the moment we hit an area with a signal, i texted people about work. that's new. but it will be a busy month i think. so much to do.

got a message that there's another airfare sale going on. it's so hard to organize logistics this time. travel from davao is always difficult and expensive. grr. hopefully i can find a way. dunno how my boy is doing things on his end right now.

i hate having to stay over somebody else's house. i'd rather stay in a hotel and go about my life without being fussed about. this is not the kaamulan i imagined so far. hopefully things get better tomorrow and dove surprises me by showing up.

talked to my mom, but she refuses to say more. thus i'm not entirely sure if i can really plan many travels this year because there are more important things in life than adventure.

suddenly, i feel tired. and sad.

and this post hardly made sense.

wala lang

papalapit ng papalapit na ang Pasko. medyo nabawasan ang pag-aabang. dala ng masakit na likod sa kakabuhat ng bag. at masakit na paa sa kakalakad. at masakit na ilong sa kakabahing. (ang polusyon!).

wala lang. gusto ko lang magpaalam na buhay pa rin ako. at excited pa rin kahit papaano. si Kristo, isisilang muli. para kay justine at jolina, pati na rin kay mark wills... sa inyo ko na ibinigay ang regalo ko sa kanya.

madaling magkawang-gawa ngayon dahil maibabahagi pang pera. sana lang...kaya ko pa rin sa susunod na buong tao.

wala lang. wala akong maisip na maisulat. at gusto ko lang magparamdam na buhay pa ako.
