six days and counting… 10:25am ngayon at sunday – this time next saturday, nasa eroplano na kami at somewhere over the eastern malaysian coastline. hehehe. ilang tulog na lang makakatikim na ko ng liempo na hindi matigas at putol-putol na.
tulog pa si jet – naglaro na naman siguro ng sim city kagabi. preng egay – release nang favorite game mo: warcraft III. panay ngang half page ad nila dito sa dyaryo at maraming pakulo sa mga mall.
i got a copy of stephen king’s “on writing” at the airport on my way home to manila. it’s in my bag and keeping me company on my bus ride to and from work. very interesting – makes me want to go ahead and write my own story about the couple in new york he mentions in his exercise.
in my version though, it happens in the slum area of bagong barrio, kalookan. the husband abuses the wife and has incest with his daughter. one night in a fit of rage, the husband accidentally hits his wife in the face and head. she goes crazy. he goes to jail. the daughter grows up in the streets of monumento – sniffing glue and selling her body to the bus drivers who ply the UE Kalookan – Baclaran route. they do it at night in a makeshift banig, right below the statue of andres bonifacio.
