i originally planned to start this blog with the line, “God… hit me with a lightningbolt…please…”
but I thought it would sound too melodramatic of me. I have always been teased by Plaridel people and other friends that ang drama ko. tsuri na, tsuri!
anyways, i was trying to write my thesis (note: operative word – trying) but it seems that I was somewhere else. then, while I was skimming through plot structures (between 100 Years of Solitude and The Hours), I accidentally came across a book that i haven't read for a while, The Little Prince. And thank goodness I did…

my head has been filled with all sorts of things these past few weeks: infest (argh!!!), thesis (argh!!! bakit ang bobo ko!!!), laundry (2 scoops or 3?), future career (or vocation – ituloy ko kaya yung plano kong magseminaryo), mama (ma, matutupad din natin ang mga pangarap natin), papa (mahal ka pa rin namin. happy birthday po), our psychotic fishes (now, Lito’s missing! MGA BUANG!), our house, money… the list goes on… it's not that tiring, really. it's just emotionally distressing.*sigh*

In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them.
Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried the experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept. I would try to find out, so, if this was a person of true understanding. But, whoever it was, he, or she, would always say:

misstanya: yes, it is indeed sad to forget a friend. and as long as we don't forget that line, we will never be sad. =) nice to hear from you again. kumusta na ang mga friends nating Boyz2Men and Queen. hahaha. :D
taratarantula: ayan, inayos ko na yung link. sana nakikita na si little prince. :D
Akala ko may special mention ako? :) Okey lang, alam ko masama loob mo sa akin. I'm sorry if I was a wet blanket. Okey lang maging "ilusyonado." (Ikaw nagsabing ilusyonado ka ha, hindi ako.) Illusions are supposed to "fool us out of our limits (Jeffers)." i wish I could help, but I know there is nothing I could do. Sa totoo lang, wala rin akong alam, kunwari lang meron para may mapag-usapan tayo. hehe. May promise ka as a writer, but you have to be mayabang enough to clarify your vision on your own. BASTA ISULAT MO NA LANG. Live in the moving picture. Unlike the photograph (tension, conflict frozen in space), the moving picture flows in time towards inevitable resolution. Good luck sa thesis. And take care of yourself.
anonymous: jewel sori! di ko na post yung may mention mo. sori :( bigla kasing may nangyari kaya di ko na pinost. sori.
pero sobrang thankyou talaga po. sa lahat ng suggestions at pati na rin sa pagpapaalala sa akin na masyado akong ilusyonado pagdating sa mga istoryang naiisip ko.
di ko po makakalimutan ang inyong mga dakilang salita: "hayaan mong kausapin ka ng papel"
ingat ka lagi at God bless jewel. sa graduation blog post ko, siguradong may special mention ka.
hug po. :) ingat lagi.
