Ubo / is All / She Left Me
I think that when writers create a piece, they are automatically aware of the possibility that people will be reading their work.
But what about people who are written about? How do they feel when they find out that a poem or a story about them (not just FOR THEM) is being discussed among literary circles? Or in classrooms?
It's amazing how much power writers wield in this scenario.

It was another weekend well-spent. R was sick to the bone (cough, sipon, headache, PMS) the whole time. Still, the limited time we had was filled with amazing convos, great food, and plenty of hearty laughter.
I showed her the two poems that got published in Philippines Graphic magazine, and I think she genuinely liked them. I was actually terrified about having her read the poems (especially the one about her) but she said it's good and I am truly thrilled about her reaction.
The only thing that sucks is that I had strict orders to not take any pictures. Ahay. But yes, my heart is full. My heart is full. :)
[It seems my lungs are full, too. Ubo. Ubo.]

Ngaa Ginaubra Ta Ini Man?
Kon kaisa, sa tunga sang kalapyo sang mga ginahitso nga hilikuton, may inside joke kami nanday Noel kag Gil: NGAA GINAUBRA TA INI MAN?
Ari sa laragway (kuha sadtong tuig 2014) ang pila ka mga rason:
1. Ang bunga sang handom nga tani mas madamo nga mga kabataan ang magdako nga nagapalangga sa ila kaugalingon nga pulong
2. Ang mga tawo nga kaangay ni Mam Gen (kag Sir John Iremil) nga una nga naghatag sang pagsalig sa amon mga ulo-abilidad
3. Si Sir Leo nga tubtob subong, wala gihapon nakapoy sa pag-ulikid (Diin na ang sinulatan mo, Sol?), sa pang-intriga (San-o na kamo ma-elope ni Norman? *ew*), sa panghikay (This is not even a story!), kag sa once in a supermoon nga pagdayaw (...)
Kadamo sang kapaltaha ang mga nagliligad nga adlaw. Daw mga kapaltaha man sang mga tuig sa wala pa ang tion nga ini. Amo gani ang ulihi nga rason kon ngaa padayon ang tanan nga pagpanikasog
4. Ara ho. Ang yuhom pagkatapos sang tanan nga rejection, failure, kag pagduhaduha.

Sa Pagkikitang Tayo Lang Ang May Alam
Nakakahon ang lahat
Ng hiningi kong isauli mo sa akin:
Sapatos na madalas mong hinihiram,
T-shirt na may statement
Na hindi mo maintindihan,
Relong iniregalo ng tiyahin
Na unang nakaalam
Tungkol sa ating dalawa,
At photobook ng sandosenang gala.
Nakasiksik sa pagi-pagitan ng mga ito
Ang pira-pirasong bubog
Ng daan-daang alaalang
Nasa ‘yo pa pala. Samantala,
Narito ang sobreng paglalagyan sana
Ng pagpapatawad ko.
Pero walang laman ‘yan.
Natuto na kasi akong
Huwag magbigay
Sa hindi humihingi.

On taking photos
R: I only take photos of the important things in my life.
Me: *snaps her picture* Same. 😏
