      <description>wow... this site is dusty...

anyway, if anybody is still checking up on me through this blog, you can go to my hiding place. it's not so much of a hiding place anymore, so i guess you could say i'm coming out of it... 

on another note, my nick joaquin post of two years ago is still being flocked by people demanding for synopses, criticisms and summaries of his works. The current count of the messages left there is 128. still, it never fails to annoy and entertain.

so, see you guys on the other side.

tagged by the shadow that slithers.
Once you've been tagged, you have to write 8 facts/things/habits about yourself, saying who tagged you. In the end you need to choose the 6 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs.

Pedophiles to launch political party 
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and sex with animals, sparking widespread outrage. 
The Charity, Freedom and Diversity (NVD) party said on its Web site it would be officially registered Wednesday, proclaiming: &quot;We are going to shake The Hague awake!&quot; 
The party said it wanted to cut the... (more)</description>

      <description>i can't believe it's already mid-may and storm season has officially begun. where has 2006 gone? it's been a sweat-blurred, heat-stroked year so far until the rain crashed in, with equally blurry memories. no offense to matt who was here for over a month just recently... but as i sit here playing hooky from the manuals for a while, i can't seem to grab a hold of one memory that i would remember years from now if a grandniece or nephew (i am this close to giving up on having children, let alone grandchildren) asks me about 2006. 
(well, i guess i could tell them about that time i fell down... (more)</description>

 Lord, You know that I love you, it's just that my heart is all tired and lethargic, but it knows that it still beats for you.

      <description>she had a friend who liked to call himself edgar back in high school, and he christened her emily. they used to write poems then. almost every week, they'd pass notes to each other in the hallway in between classes (he was two years ahead). 
they became friends because she saw him outside the door and wrote a poem about him. not a love poem, please. it was just one of those impulse verses whenever she had a pen handy. they never talked before she wrote the poem and gave it to him. she still doesn't know what made her do that. 
he was the one who introduced Emily Dickinson to her. he said... (more)</description>

You Are a Dreaming Soul 


Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult

You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.

Souls you are most... (more)</description>

i wonder if there are only a definite number of words God allots to a person. 

when i first started learning how to write, like the other kids my age, our textbooks showed us the correct forms of the letters of the alphabeth. my teachers corrected my grip on the pencil and i began to approximate the letters i see on my books. practice makes perfect. the blue and red lines on my pad paper guided my lines, and i made sure that i never go over the lines. 

i graduated from print to cursive. cursive a's are hard because my pencil had to make that big circle that's slanted just so and then go... (more)</description>

      <description>You Are a Peacemaker SoulYou strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.
War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.
You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.
Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.

While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.
You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.
On the flip side, you've got a graet sense of humor and wit.
You're always dimplomatic and able to give good advice.

Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary... (more)</description>
