things have i

what grace have i
stripped, scraped
and taken from the luminous?

have i the sweeter fruit
and buried unthinking
beneath the ashes of the hearth?

it is the fires reclaimed
from glory and wishes.

i have dreamed these things
yet i have not.

Banana Republic recap

Can the Philippine politics get any weirder? One presidential candidate is undermining the election process by saying, to hell with the ballots I'm the president... Doesn't he have any decency? Or patriotism to restrain his greed? Oh, wait he's an actor of course not. What he wants he gets. Stupid git.

Anyway.. was late again, up all night with the studying and lazed in bed when I woke... praying and studying for the job. It might be hard work but it would be lovely, starting hard work one...

Trepidation

Feeling very sleepy but can't sleep yet, I've been brushing up on my PR/Advertising notes as I have an upcoming test with an PR agency and I really, really want this job so I'm plugging away.

IT's hard to concentrate when your sleepy though but will try...

There is a hint of rain in the air and its a wonderful feeling, coming from more than two sweltering summer months. I spent the whole day either practicing my capoeira moves, reading or listening to my Buffy the Musical album that Cheska and Charly gave me.

Yes, envy meeee!

*cough*

So, I've been reading through blogs of other people and am severely ashamed that I'm not as eloquent as they are. I who dreams to be a writer.

Speaking of writing, I've been editing my sailor moon fanfic and realized that one of my main problem is description. I can seem to find the proper words to use for describing a scene, I always go with the easy road and say something like, it's like yadda, yadda, yadda.

I've been reading through books and some fanfics I liked and studying them but I just end up frustrated.

Anyway, moving to other matters, Cory Doctorow has a new novel online free for download. One of the few authors who believes in the internet. Eastern Standard Tribe can be downloaded here.
