MAIKLING KWENTO: Dugo at Tubig

“Walang kikilos! Raid ‘to!”   sigaw ng pulis pagkapasok ng silid, subalit napahinto ito sa nakita. Binaba niya nang bahagya ang kanyang nakatutok na baril upang lalong matunghayan ang isa sa mga lalaking nakaupo. Nanigas ang pulis sa kanyang posisyon hanggang sa tinapik siya ng kanyang kasamahan. Hudyat ito ng pag-aresto sa mga nahuli sa aktong gumagamit ng droga. Lumapit si Indigo sa lalaki at kanyang pinosasan ang mga kamay, ganon din ang ginawa ng ibang pulis sa ibang nahuli na pawang walang bahid ng anuman kadungisan. Humanay ang limang naaresto at pinahakbang palabas ng bahay nang biglang nanlaban at nang-agaw ng baril ang isa sa kanila. Nagdulot ito ng kaguluhan sa operasyon. Nasawi ang pulis na nakuhanan ng baril; agad din namang nabaril ang lalaking nang-agaw. Sa kasamaang palad, nagawang makatakas ang dalawa sa mga suspek. Agad na hinabol ng mga pulis ang mga nakatakas at isa rito ay ang lalaking pinosasan ni Indigo. Para sa kanya, responsable siya sa pagkawala ng kany...

I miss you like crazy but then again it's only probably the chase - as always. Well, I hope so. I wish it's only the chase. That's why I'm feeling and being like this. I miss you and you know that - I hope. But things are different now, totally different now. You have finally opened yourself up to other people. Partly, I'm happy that you have, but partly, it saddens me. How ironic and predictable. Silly me. Good old days are gone. They will remain memories which we would remember when we have bad days. That's how it works, isn't it? What we have now always led to what will be and what can be. It's been so long since I wrote you a letter Would you mind? Of course, I'm not planning to give this to you but of course, you'll be able to read this as you do now. I lost a place in you already As I said before.  It seems like I got no one but myself to blame. And before you ever think of it - don't! No comfort, no sorry, no anything. Pl...

Broken 12

Another chapter of my life is about to come. Another year full of lessons and mistakes, failures and progress, and happiness and sadness. It’s guaranteed. The New Year had begun and I have a long journey ahead. I have new goals to set. These are the things I wish to happen this year: - Before January ends, I need to clean the mess I made. - By February, I need to stop being a jerk. - When March comes, I want to make my parents proud again. - When summer approaches, I hope to learn an instrument. - Before the summer ends, I wish to finish my book. - Before June starts, I have to decide what path to take in life. The first half of the year is affirmative. I can possibly guarantee those things, but I can’t for the other half. I don’t know the half of it. I lost my plans. I lost my purpose. I wanted to stop my schooling. I am unsure if I still want to continue. I might be ruining my future now from the decisions I’m making...

Manuscript: KLAS.RUM 2015

N1: Ito ang mga karaniwang problema N2: mga karansan Both: at mga kalokohan ng isang klase! o    Panibagong araw na naman ng pagpasok. Oo, ang paggising ang pinakamahirap na gawin sa buong araw pero pagtingin mo sa oras … (Tingin sa clock) “Late na naman ako.” o    Dagdag pa sa kamalasan mo, papasok ka na nang mapansin mong wala kang suot na I.D “Ay. Patay!” Gusto mong magbago subalit palagi nalang ganito kaya malabo! Number 1: Natural lang ito sa loob ng klasrum, ang MATULOG o MAKATULOG. Pwedeng puyat ka o sadyang antukin ka lang. Matatalo ka talaga sa labanan ng antok lalo na kapag sobrang boring yung klase. “Mr.Araos…….Mr. Araos? Mr. Araos? Mr. Araos?” Kung hindi naman tulog, nasa ibang mundo ang isipan tulad nito. Number 2: “Class, get a whole sheet of paper.” Pangalawa, walang papel. Isang himala na matatapos ang taon, wala ka pa rin papel. “Peram ballpen!” Ito pa, ito pa, ito pa! Mga estudyanteng pumapasok ng walang ...
