Embracable

embrace you super tight like you can't breathe.

My kind of cool

Except for the humming of the air-conditioner, it is a quiet evening. Kissed the girls goodnight. Ice-cold San Miguel Pale Pilsen in hand. Trashed all the worries in my head. Kind Of Blue is spinning on the turn table and my ears are downloading every note...

…hoping this moment to freeze.

…nah!


…but I hope I can do this again tomorrow.

 

My running buddy

I can't figure it out but city running can sometimes be such a bore. I think it has something to do with the smell of it. I have no technical data to prove it but the odor of the road, the smoke from the vehicles and my sweat doesn't seem to blend pretty well, that when you smell it and then hits your brain, you kind of feel the run is becoming tedious and so you'll stop. Twenty minutes of running can be tiring especially if you're running alone, which most of the time I do. So I bring along my running buddy.
Enter ipod shuffle. (tadah!)

It's lightweight, and it whispers in my ears telling me what song is currently playing. The 4 gigabyte capacity stores many of my favorite songs, so I hear music instead of the heavy breathing I make. It also serves as my timer. I usually run for 30 minutes, so I set the playlists to half an hour for me to know if I'm running too slow. But I also have playlists for one hour and playlist for more than an hour if i feel like running a bit longer. Plus, the control is in the right earbud cord making it easier to navigate through songs, playlists, and volume thus disrupting not the run. This is my 4th and the best ipod so far.
It's been a wonderful experience running with her for some months now, and with the proper playlists, and a fully-charged battery, this baby can run with you for miles.

In a Murakami state of mind

Psssst...

Pssst…pssst…batang paslit…
Saan lulusot? Saan sisingit?
Ano’ng pinihit?
Ano’ng hinithit?
Saan nasabit?
Sa mundong pilipit.

Pssst…pssst…batang pangit…
Sunog sa init…amoy anghit.
Saan kukupit?
Saan kakapit?
Saan lalapit…
Sa mundong malupit?

Pssst…pssst…batang makulit!
Walang karapatang magalit
kahit isang saglit.
Matang ayaw pumipikit
at pangarap na punit,
kailangang ipilit…
sa mundong walang kapalit.

Do not disturb?

...and pass by quietly pretending like no one is there? I don't think so. Is he the one sleeping or is it us? Wake up!

We love to draw

No way. I'm not posting my storyboard drawings here.
Work is work and drawing is love.
Drawing is my first love. And then after that, babae na...and music...and beer...and cameras...at madami pa...


And I'm also influencing my little girls to draw the analog way, meaning with pencils and sketch pad. And they love it. How cool art is.

But as of the moment, I am teaching them not to fight over the colored pencils.
