100 Days of Writing: Day 6 Did it. More importantly I restarted running today, too, so can we call it a day now? My running plan restarted as well, the app probably thought I was going to give up. Can’t reason with an app, so, got a running thing coming…
Leave a comment100 Days of Writing: Day 5 Stephen Hawking died today. My story is now in index cards. Did NOT hit my thousand-word mark today. :( Will spring back tomorrow. Update: I managed 400 words in the last 30 minutes. I guess that counts?
Leave a comment100 Days of Writing: Day 4 Still at it. Sinubukan ko naman sa computer mag-type kasi medyo bumibilis na takbo ng utak ko para sa kwentong ito. Sana naging okay ang araw mo. Ako okay naman, kumain kami sa Mary Grace nina madam at Paul, at maaga ako umuwi para…
Leave a comment100 Days of Writing: Day 3 I now have a sketch for the first two scenes of a short story using characters I developed back in Clarion. Am I getting anywhere? It’s really too early to tell. I find I’m using the time not writing preparing for these writing sessions.…

Leave a commentIsang linggo akong nagka-gastroenteritis. A little queasiness, a little low-grade fever, tapos stinging hot diarrhea nang limang araw. Masakit, nakakabwisit. Dahil nagbabadya ang pagbabanyo bawat sandali at nakagapos ako sa tanikala ng sakit ng paghilab ng tyan at pagsisisi sa pagkain ng kung anuman ‘yun na hindi ko maalala, tumambad…

Leave a commentSee, sinusubukan ko pa rin kasing palakasin ang loob ko na manumbalik ang sigla kong mag-blog tulad nang dati. At naisip ko na ata ang solusyon, salamat kay M. Noong isang araw, she announced that she’s planning to get off social media in 2018. That really excited me for some…
Leave a commentMe whenever a 90s rock song I like comes on: The bass comes in first, dumdumdumdumdum, and my heartbeat would match it in time. A voice pierces the…voicelessness. I don’t understand sung words until I read them, and so all that colors songs for me is how rough the sounds…
