THIS IS ME

-
First blogging of the year. I thought of scribbling and finding out how it goes. I think that has been the essence of the theme of this blog. Random thought I have called it and the title is a bit cliche to some. Not when I began putting up this blog site I suppose. I started it for the sake of writing and knowing myself. And I thought of sharing it to others by publishing it. But it does not count much if no one reads it.   Appreciation from readers is a plus and I am being thankful but then again I believe I benefit most to what I write.  It's like spitting out bits and pieces of what's inside my brain and laying them on the table for me to see. "Hmmmm. What have I feeding myself lately?"  And so that's how I discover more of myself.  They may be shallow to some readers and they  may be profound to others.  I thought of keeping my writings to myself but I have a divine urge to share it regardless of the outcome. It is not frustrating if it's not a hit since I know from the very start  the purpose of  the writings. There are good feedback and I appreciate that. Receiving such comments makes me to keep it coming more often. But I would never stop regardless of how many views. The achievement is not so much on how I put  the words together or how grammatically correct it is or how creative the writings are but allowing myself to spill my brain however messy it is so as I have a chance to put it back in order. The urge to write started when I found a book in a bookstore. I have learned from that book that the key to creative writing is writing without thinking who's going to edit it. Mr Forrester said that write with your heart and edit with your mind. Writing is the expression of the soul in which the heart sits. There are famous novels which became best sellers no matter how they are badly written.  That's what they say about Twilight, Fifty Shades, That Boy, Bridget Jones Diary but hey they were turned into movies.  I guess what is  important is how creative writing can relate more than how it can constrictively translate. I do not make this as a saving grace and I don't think I would write a novel and would aim to be famous someday.  The point is that taking this approach of writing is I believe not a bad idea.  I may have many misspelled words or wrong grammars in the process of writing because I let the thought keep on  coming first without being bothered by such inequities. In editing I miss some variations because I am lousy in cleanups. But then the cruel bunch won't miss crucifying. But that's okay. Anyone is entitled to carry their own sticks. But I wish they just walk away and leave alone what is not meant for them.  This is meant for those who want to know and not for those who want to find faults. If you are not happy with what you see here, please walk away and don't leave any mark. If you are keen to continue, this is me.

Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti

-
This morning, I craved for a Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti. And so I told Claire that I was gonna go to the Asian Store in Cashel to buy that Del Monte Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti sauce. She told me that she wanted to come along so she would see what else she could buy in the store. Then JC has to come along with us. . There is one store that might become popular soon for the pinoys in Lincoln called Filipino Mart. However, since I was in hurry to cook and to satisfy my craving, we settled to visit the nearer store. And so we shopped and shopped in the popular Asian Store in Cashel. Along with the sauce and spaghetti, I prepared grinded meat, Kransky (substitute for the Purefoods hotdog which we do not have here), onions, green pepper, carrots, and garlic. And so I cooked. I was sure I could never go wrong as long as I have the Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce. It was almost like I thought that I could do with more or less ingredients and still I could come up with del

STAGE DIRECTOR

-
I am fascinated when I get to watch shows like X-factor and the Voice where the professionals get to guide the talent. The way the relationship goes well between the talent and the mentor is when the talent gives complete trust with the mentor and just accepts that the mentor has a better view of how the talent can emanate the stuff effectively and well. It’s just like a director who has the best view on what’s going on outside the stage. I remember there was this hip guy who was part of the cast in the stage play. During the rehearsal the director directed him to exaggerate his movement. But the guy being cool but a newbie thought that the movement is awkward and not cool. And so he did not follow the director’s direction when the rest of the cast exaggerated their movements during the performance. During the performance it turned out that the audience viewed that the cool guy was awkward on stage and the rest of the cast were outstanding. What is deemed awkward in real life is normal

UST Class 5 CE

-
What is good about having a Facebook Account is that you get the probability to touch base with your long lost classmates. It all started when a certain guy which I did not recognize in his profile picture by the name of Alex commenting “ If I am not mistaken, you were UST Batch (Bleep) 5 CE. Right?” And then he produced a class picture which included me 60 pounds ago. “O yeah, he is Alex from Class 5 CE. And then a few days after, several of my classmates from 5 CE sprouted and asking to add them in my Facebook Contact List. Amazing! It’s like I feel young again. There is also a feeling that you want to catch up with them and see how they are after all the decades. Ooops! Years. What do you know? Most of us haven’t been in touch after graduation and after the Besavilla Crash Course for CE Board Exam.
