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...

the folk shop


i was out with the folks last sunday. it's funny these two. my mother woke me up said i should get ready cos we're going downtown. i asked why all of a sudden. said, when she got off the jeep from the market next town she saw my father who was about to leave town for some hanging out, so she dragged him home telling him that we'd rather hit the city to eat out for lunch. we had lunch at this chinese restaurant after we had our grocery. so they saw this knife they really life but it doesn't have a tag. my mother was surprised when she was about to pay and found out that that butcher knife cost around P700. so i went on with my usual job of convincing them that it's fine, that they don't really buy one everytime, and that it's sharp and of good quality anyway and all that. so it all boiled down to giving me an orientation of the special privileges of their mighty senior citizen card once again. swell!

waker bong


one of the first things i did, well, was invited to, was to go wakeboarding. there's this village not far from the farm and where they have this only wakeboarding place in the city. it's pretty cool though you really have to grip the hardest which was kinda exhausting. i did a couple of rounds and after, bong here and i, with keith had lunch and headed home.

Natural Medici


so i got back home about three weeks ago, and i don't know if my i don't know but in those twenty or so days that i've been here more than half of the time i was just chasin after my own body temperature suffering from clogged nose and coughing the whole freakin time, was attacked by some poisonous little moth in the confines of my room causing me to swell and my eyes, i tuned chinese there for a bit, gott i don't know if am still welcome here. now am having a hard time swallowing due to tonsilities. oh, but that's okay. am having a constant supply of citrons here and it tastes really nice, so...

the good years crossed


hey fellas!, so tis been quite a while and i guess it's time we go back home live the stories. av just been checking all the postcards that i've once sent and i couldn't help but smile about everything that's behind us now. if there's a longing or we've achieved peace, this is yet to be decided. i have been spending the last, probably three week lying low. i've been under the weather on and off for over two weeks it it was just this few that i got a little better. i've been, i see, och i don't know... but i should be content, and a lot of times i find myself so.

greek day



hallo, geck! this is celeste. gone a looong way back since elementary years und she was here last weekend and i had to give her a quick tour of the city. this was at that greek restaurant and we was so tired then cos she hardly had sleep and i headed off straight from woerk to pick her up at the hotel and twas a long travel twas so hot the weather then it drizzled which is not so much of a concern anyway.



so we headed soonafter since she doesn't want to stay at my pad cos she thinks my bed stinks and it does anyway but i love the smell of it and we was walking around the eastmall and we was feelin so tired cossit was only about 1:30pm then and so we headed to the cinema and slept. hahah!



oh so this was before the cinema cos we was pretendin we hungry so i got my favorite paidakia. well that was what i ordered for her cos i want her to taste my favorite but so anyway i ended up eatin most of it so i guess i don't know. me got mesef souvlaki cos tahts the waiter suggested. and i don't like it so much and i thought af already told mesef once before to never listen to waiuters when they suggest stuff but then anyway we just talked about some people we know and some stuff back in davao and some home essentials and relationships dead and gone and marriage and what we wanna do wit our lives...



so this was after the cinema after a doze of some soul reviving and we stopped by this little coffee shop and was just so excited cos i saw lemon squares and tis a favorite too and so we got oursefs coffee and some greek salads and we talked about leaving home and going home and travels and drunk drivin and second life and quaint stuff cos we've long accepted the fact that we are both boring and we was just hopin then that something's goin on at the square...



so i was sorry cos i know it was buddy i saw and i was hopin to have a picture wit him cos there was that little graduation thing for that band of streetkids. so we waited for sandwich there was indeed and there were some bands there i find kinda cool like radioactive sago project was there and there's this lady called julia and twas fun anyway we enjoyed it cos we thought raymund and his sandwich people wouldn't show up and we was about to leave and they was there and they san betamax anyway. yun o!



right about this time we got so tired and all sticky uncomftable and so i said why don't we just get pizza and grab some beer and you can drink lots so you sleep hard you forget ma stinky bed and just head home and watch some concerts on dvd and she seemed okay with the idea anyway so i ended up drinkin all the beer cos it kicked her in the head and knocked her down. brrr...







so we awoke in the mornin and headed off to the mall to get some stuff and took this two pictures when she was about ready to go and like am lookin at it now and tis like, uhm i dont know. freak wef gone this far. we used to just dream together and am gonn stop this now.



so this was the last picture i took of one of celeste. i don't have much, but af got little that means a lot to me and i thank god and am content. weekend's over.solid men!

aldo and doreen


aldo and doreen doing that funny chicken dance. i think theys invented the idea of coming up wit a funny dance for a weddin dance. i think it's cool cos i think they was quite coy but they danced anyway and that was quite memrable that lovely lil dinner dance they did. solid, men!



so i took a picture of the couple and doreen turned and i think she got impatient about it cos i don't know how to work wit my fon camera and it took me about 15 seconds. but i thinkit's nice anyway i wouldn't want it so perfect. i think theys a beautiful couple. solid, men!



gott, man! so this is the whole weddin ceremony picture and man that was so emotional, especially when aldo delivered his weddig speech, i dint really understand everythin he said cos i was listening to his voice, geck taht was real emotional, men! then doreen got to deliver her speech thought i heard her saying somethin about chocolates or i think she was getting aldo to buy her chocolates and i wonder if weddin gowns have pockets on the side where she can pull out the money. oh the first music that jesu instrumentals and the farm breeze was just so farm perfect, the kewlest, geck! this is my kind o weddin. quiet, private, simple. solid men!



i like the dinner food cos it's light and there's greens and leaves. i like it cos there's not much and the guest aren't after the food cos it was just there on the side. i like it cos it couldn't be mistake for my de lata water meals. and so i haf yet to confess the tags on the table cos i plan to prepare the entire menu at home.



i am. they was tryin to stop me but i got aldo's permision so i got home drunk and smilin. i am the most content bachelor. solid, men!

the milkyway conspiracy


howdy doug!eto perhaps yun nakita ni toni sa post na trina when she said the was such good sport si federer pati si nadal. i guess this is my version of it. that was perhaps the most hair-raising moment that went so fast duke. having seen these guys talk for that unexpected resurfacing of the the last doug! like if things got really charged and emotional and all this could have broken everyone to tears. and yet i know i wasn't the only one who didn't just see this as just one of the pictures there. this was perhaps the highlight of the final set experience. gott am so content! solid super, men!

good morning my friends. i think it's a good idea to have your library inside the toilet cos most of the time long voerdue babies gifts you an awfully boring time sittin on the surgery table. i think a page or two or three at least is worth it depending on how hard the stain is. hikhik! solid, men!
