the need to list 10
an inventory of my accumulated experiences in 25 years led to this list of fave things. so i am.
1. short play: uga (the script for this was handwritten on yellow pad, and it took only two days to rehearse. but oh my! was it riveting and eerie just the way i liked it. the milestone of my career as a pseudo writer and involuntary director)
2. plot: ggm's 100 years of solitude. i still dream of macondo. it's sp overrated, i know. but i love the misery in the characters of gabo.
3. shot in a film: maynila sa mga kuko ng liwanag (manila at the talons of light- or something to that effect). night, a mob circles the lead actor, bembol roco to kill him. shot dissolves to silhouettes of people, hands bashing bembol. then cuto to another scene. camera zooms in bembol, soft sunlight on his face. cut to lead actress, hilda koronel- smiling at him, sun behind her. he was remembering more innocent times in their fishing village, before hilda went to Manila in hopes of finding a better life there. she instead landed in a brothel and eventually was forced to marry an old chinese businessman. bembol came for her. but in a series of unfortunate events, he gets mobbed and killed. and then you know how dreams are forged and destroyed.
4. song: cranberries' dreams.
i know i felt like this before
but now i'm feeling it even more
because it came from you
then I open up and see
the person fumbling here is me
a different way to be
i've never fumbled like this. must be nice to find someone who'd make me.
5. scent: freshly cut grass. it just makes me happy.
6. power activity: taekwondo. there's something in punching and doing 45 kicks on pads and unleashing fury just like that.
7. great discoveries of the old world: chocolates. dark chocolates. heaven on earth!
8. to do when sad: drink lots of water. or beer. then take refuge in hootie and the blowfish or the eraserheads. tangnang ely yan, ang galing.
9. when sleeping: dreaming. interesting to find out what the subconscious has to say.
10. being a filipino: that i can make fun of my third world tendencies. that i'm not third world at all.
so, what's your story?

cj: when the dollar-peso exchange rate goes down to $1 : P26, maybe.

Somehow I can never enlist something like this. But I liked some of the things you've said. Esp the GGM part. The misery is so fine that it makes me want to cry.
yep, you are right. be good to see the third world debt wiped out entirely wouldn't it?
