Things that Bam Learned

Bam talks about sinking boats, the game, doors and egos, on being horny, on being a goat, on who’s the best kisser, on being deadly honest, on absolute love, and stealing brownies.
An interview:
I realized that I loved her when I felt the pangs of pain when she didn’t include me in her list of persons she’ll [...]

Get your catch

Indolence is laziness. The latter just seems classy.
It is interesting to note how words, and language could be interpreted differently by another society. How these words are understood depends  on the lifestyle and culture the society practices. At times, simple phrases – which may mean nothing to the speaker – could be interpreted as something profane [...]

The Refusal

The only consolation
to this game is
the aftermath and
 - burns of all the
friction, and dueling.
 
The only consolation
to the unanswered
is the mind’s portrait
of what hurts: at times
gray, at times, colorful.
But either way, it
numbs and makes
the prize weaker.
 
The only consolation
to this frustration are
the swims and dives
which makes the
mind weak, and the
strings [...]

Sorry Mister Shakur

me

I am

I was a lonely man
with nothing to do
but dream –
dream of happyness
and smiles.
I used to close
my eyes and fly
off to the ocean
where I would sit with
everyone I know on
top of purple and green
corrals.
 
Such joy whenever
we sit down.
 
I still fly off whenever
I can, but I don’t close nor
dream anymore.

Even if I was the enemy

The worst part of it all is… I am hurt. Hurt because of the circumstances involved to [...]

Sometimes, I think I need a Hug

I didn’t believe him when he said, “When you join us, you’ll have enemies – plenty of enemies.” All I thought was: yeah, yeah, I’m doing it so I could continue doing what I love.
It is lonely on the way there.

Another One

If I took multi-vitamins daily, this entry would be longer. If I my brain wasn’t that swamped with responsibilities and want-of-sleep, my justifications and arguements would be more polished and sound. But the thing is, I am sleep and energy deprived – so this would do.
It’s funny how people seem so worked up when they [...]

Orange Juice

 
In the Philippines it is known as Tang or Eight ‘o Clock. I call it ohreynsh jooz.
 
I remember my mother telling me a story about how orange juice killed my auntie’s gold fishes. Back when my father was still alive and when we were still living in Cubao, Quezon City, it was mandatory for my [...]

Stories from the Mat

Never tell Andre and J3 you are cutting weight.
 
I made the mistake of telling two of my workmates in the publication office that I was cutting weight. What made my mistake worse was that I also divulged to these two that I was crash cutting weight. This made the task of making 60 keys harder because [...]
