I Can't Tilt My Head

I'll try to get a photo of Mama to show you guys how she mastered the skill of tilting her head for the camera. The way this actress posed on the left is no match with the way she did it.

They can, be mistaken for sisters.

Peace, Ma. WALANG MULTUHAN.



To see if I have inherited her talent, I tried to pose in front of the mirror and started to tilt my head. However, I only got a stiffened neck and an aching back.

This is the closest I got.

TO FORGET

i must admit that for the past few days you were able to make me smile. it's not everyday that i smile in front of the monitor. but i must admit you did. and to think you're making me admit things.

we are strangers. yet we did take steps to get to know each other more. i couldn't blame you if you had my thoughts mistaken for being brutish and unkind. i didn't allow myself to show who i am. i can't find any reason to. especially to a stranger. i mean, what's the point? as if it would matter. we're just mere chatters on cyberspace.

for the past days that you showered me with sweet stupid remarks and point blank criticisms, i developed the yearning of going online just to chat with you. how clingy could i get. as much as i try not to be, i still am. i still mimic the same old ways of emotional attachment, even here.

i don't want to play games. that's why i always reacted harshly with each and every joke you throw at me. but with one argument you were able to make me cry. and you decided to end this so-called friendship because you think i am utterly selfish and gobbled up with pride.

i don't mean to be sexist, but i think it's not really proper for men to make girls cry.

Goodbye, Moses

Tia and I will be missing one of the few "named" actors we admire. Charlton Heston. He was known for starring in such iconic films including Ben-Hur and The Omega Man. A Hollywood legend, today's audience may not recognize his name at first glance, but a lot sure do wish to acquire his powers in parting the seas-who can ever forget The Ten Commandments?

Despite being a big fan of cult films and teen flicks, I like Charlton Heston. He stood smart, sturdy and handsome. And he overcame the challenges of old age with grace. He didn't smoke, nor did he have other vices, and most of all, he faced success with his feet on the ground.

I remember watching The Ten Commandments some Maundy Thursday several years back. I liked the dialogues between him and Ramses, portrayed by another favorite actor of mine, skinhead Yul Brynner. But Ramses had left a long time ago.

And now it's Moses.

You may not know us, but Tia and I will miss you.

wag jan.

pwede. wag ang puso ko. siguro hindi pako handa. pero wag ang puso ko. wag mong hilingin na mapalapit ako sayo. kasi baka hindi ko mamalayan. umiiyak na pala ko.
