A Leap Forward

I've been drawing the whole month of October. My hands are currently shaky as I type 
(maybe because of arthritis or it's just itching to draw more)
I feel so alive today. The sunset was beautiful parallel the full moon rising. I am at peace.

 A lot of things are coming up for the end months as well! I'm excited!


Mabubulaklak na Dila.
 Ang Ink's 21st Annual Exhibit is on Nov. 16 - 30, 2012 at the Canvas  Gallery. 
This year's theme is "sawikain" or idioms in Tagalog. It's my first time to join Ilustrador ng Kabataan's annual exhibition. So friends, it would be great if you could come during the opening night on the 16th!

Bleeding Heart.
It's also my first time to illustrate for a children's book! I'll update this some other time


And my pots have also come out from the kiln! Hurray! 
I'm also back to being a pottery student. This time, at the UP Fine Arts. 
Trying to learn how to make better pots!

Awesome year this is. God is good.

Pending reading list: Luka and the Fire of Life by Salman Rushdie + Life of Pi by Yann Martel. Easy reads for this month :)

Juan Tamad

Isinangguni niya
sa kataas-taasan
ang kanyang kahirapan

at ang tugon sa
kanya ay



maghintay.

---

Ano ang nangyari?
Sa isang iglap,
ang panyong tinago ng
majikero
ay napalitan ng kuneho,
na hindi niya
mapigilan sa pagdami.

Ano na't ang maikling katuwaan
ay napalitan ng delubyo?

Sino ngayon
ang naghahabol?

---

When we sliced the
corpses of men for
longer life, we have already
played God.

---
...and we who Claimed
are left to become inevitable dust and dirt
kissing the ground from losses.

Note: Sometimes, I don't remember what was going inside my head when I write.

Just some random stuff I write on my journal. I don't really have a specific theme for my 'poetry' nor follow the rules. I just write whatever comes to mind. 

-----
SLE 

The heat of the sun burns my face red
Pricking inside the flesh
Eating the core til I fall hard on my knees 
and pray for dear life. 

Fate should have burned me alive
And let me feel the pain
Than set me on a bed
Like a rotting piece of meat.

----
A calm breathing
Slowly
She pulls herself up
And came closer 
Near
The rabbit hole

---

here we go

somewhere only we know
where alien winds
engulf our very soul

wings on our feet
let no footstep be heard
as we sneak out from sleep

and hearts gold,
a rich-colored life,
let this story shine.

---
Antera

The sprites took your breathe
Swift as the sun sets
And I, oblivious
Of such fate in their hands,
Decided to laugh.

Why in such dire circumstance
have I placed Humor?
When all have wept and bled?
Do not let grief disguise 
For a lifetime.
