Day 22! POSTED AT 04:48 PM I think I try to cram too many things into one Sunday. Or maybe I am too last minute a person. So far, nanowrimo + vox prac + body jam + vox class = quick run through, maybe 200 words and being late. So it's four-ish in the afternoon and I think I need to get some wordcount down before dinner. 2012 maybe after that. I spend a lot of money when the elephant comes home Meh. Goals for the day: at least another 2k words, then maybe the book review. We'll see how it goes. It's funny how my blog turns into something like a journal when I'm doing nanowrimo. Have too many words to spew out in the novel to think of anything funny and interesting to say. Maybe I'll post an excerpt. Hm, yes. ---
“Ah Girl!” he
called as he entered the apartment (With the L appropriately not pronounced, in
the typical Chinese-school way – something like… 'ah
girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' ). There was no
response. “Oi Ah Gir ah!
Are you awake or not?” he called again. There was a
grumbling from the smaller room, and Princess came out. “What you want now?” “Can make me “Make by
yourself lah. Big baby.” “Aiya, do it
for your kor la. Simple thing like that also…” “Fine, fine,
fine. Bum la you.” “Ha, and then
what was that thing about buying a Ming vase from that that Ting ting something
shop? Too rich is it?” “Haiya cheap
only la. Less than hundred.” “Imitation is
it?” “Dunno la.” “Then why you
buy?” “Pretty what.” Prince shook
his head at this. “Girls!” he exclaimed. Taking his steaming hot Princess grumbled at his closed door for a while, then switched off the lights and went back to bed, complaining about pampered little boys who refused to grow up. ---
(Ok, that was rather random, but I liked that bit (8 more days, 15k to go. Time to buck up.) (My writing's normal curve ends at about 30k. For some reason. I'll be a short novelist, I think. But some classic novels are quite short at any rate. Argh. Okay. Time to write.) (I wish twitter weren't so distracting.) (Bye now. Really. Yes. Bye.) *post*

Kuya Joetique POSTED AT 09:57 AM I wrote this in a reply email to Alison as he remembers Kuya Joetique's influence in her life when they crossed paths. Alam mo ako din when I went to the wake napaisip din ako about Kuya Joetique's life. It was strange for me to think back during the wake at what he really did that influenced my life. Honestly, I can't remember one thing specific thing he said, but I probably heard him speak a couple of times. But one thing though, looking back it seems that his mere presence was already a big blessing to me. It felt like just to be in the presence of this man was already something I should be thankful for. May part of me was just amazed that I was standing beside the man whom God used to pioneer SVCF in UPLB.. But then when I think back to my college days, I think the great thing about him and his family was the fact that they opened their homes to us. And for me at that time, their home was a special place. It was a place of so much memories. Where it felt great to be part of a family. Both their own family and the esvee family. I know that I would not have had that experience if it weren't for him. And for that I am so much thankful for his life. |

Constipation of emotions POSTED AT 05:38 PM You know what's worse than missing someone? It's when you can't tell the person you miss him. In fact, you can't tell anyone. Expressing your emotions will not change anything, instead, it might make things worse. But within you, there's a constant blubber, you just want to let it out, tell someone, anyone. But no one will understand. And even if they do, how can they help? So you take a deep breath and swallow it with a gulp, Sway with the motions of the day. Then you return home, and regurgitate, Into the world wide web. Probably does not help. (it may even make things harder) But at least now it's out there. Somewhere. |

AWAY :( POSTED AT 01:07 AM I will be away in Sungai Petani from Monday to Friday. Pray for internet connection. (HAHA) No nanowrimo updates today, 0 wordcount for the day. Boo Am loving #amwritingparty peeps on twitter though. Lots of love and motivation But am enjoying Andrew Kooman's book - Ten Silver Coins: The drylings of Acchora. If I'm bored enough in SP, besides enormous wordcount, you'll get a review. We'll see.

Day 14 POSTED AT 11:22 AM Okay, so good news and bad: The word count is well above the daily target despite the 3 non-writing days this week. This weekend is messy with stuff, and apparently I'm on duty. Hm. I'm going to be in SP next week and may not have internet access. Ugh. The writing is slow today, mainly because I'm distracted and I don't really know where I want the story to go. On the other hand, I now have fairies in my story! I wanted to work on the script, but haven't. Should probably look at it now. Oh malasnya... --- I had a random conversations post brewing in my head, but I can't remember anymore. |
