I will let the world go round as I stand up and pound It has been a while, it has been a while. I slept through the sunshine of the world of others. And I rested in the dark promising myself not to show up ever again. Showing up but not really showing things. Just this and that just so I can go on with life. But as I listen to people in the darkness I begin to get irked and slowly I start to bang my already bang-y hands. I get mad silently pouring my anger to how it should…
Constraints on wanting to be a hermit For years, this poor soul has thought of wanting to isolate. To travel from place to place. Unseen. Invisible from the crowd. While silently contemplating about the reasons of living life. It has been quite sometime already. Yet wanting this thing is not as simple as getting on one's feet and going as it should be. There are constraints. For one, you need to have fund. Money or goods and the like. Being a hermit nowadays is a little…
Amazing Kangkong I really could not imagine how kangkong can be more savory than it already is. Because even without special cooking procedure, kangkong is already delicious. I was served with crispy leaves that I thought were seaweeds. But I heard my colleagues call the viand as crispy kangkong. It was really a savory meal with chicken and rice. Another good thing was the garlic sauce plus the ketchup hot sauce. They blend well together that I almost wanted to eat the meal…
Early retirement thoughts in the early morn I am typing. Yes, in an early morning! I got the feeling as if I wanted to write. It is a pleasure always to once in a while get back to this feeling. What are my thoughts today? I was yet again being nostalgic the previous day. I kept imagining about scenarios where I can breath air. In the farm. Somewhere out there. Or just some place where I can rest. You know... I wish I could retire early and get to live a hermit life already.…
May I join you? A random someone asked if she could join me in a table. I reluctantly said yes. She sat down across me. I had no choice. The table can accommodate at most five people. I started to look down while eating. I didn't feel like talking to someone that afternoon. Why did she join me in the first place? There were other tables. But I could not complain. Instead of enjoying a rainy afternoon, I felt awkward and I wanted to hop on the next table instead. But I didn't…
I should bury my anguish deep down, down at the bottom of my depth I rooted for the belief that I am gonna transcend the first half of my century. Little did I know, I am lying in disbelief. Lying or lying. I can't say which is which. I now come to see what I can do and cannot do. Perhaps, I can just do what I can. And the things I will not be able to do, will be left for the morrow for the others who are still with life. I can't believe I am now in a state of panic. Yet I…
