im currently at work, staring blankly at my monitor. waiting for a call to penetrate my avaya, thinking..wishfully thinking that my permanent rest day request will be granted. it will be just for all saturdays and sundays from june to august (is it too much to ask for?? *wink! wink!*). this urgent request is for the upcoming LIRA workshop.. yes! a writing workshop that i've been dying since ages to attend to. and now, it is already in front of me, inviting me, pulling me, teasing me, tickling me (as if hearing the song oh lumapit ka.. kung gusto mo akong halikan, di kita sasawayin alam na alam mo namang ito'y gusto ko rin..)

it was just a few days ago when vener and i bumped into each other in ym.

vener: musta?
pen: ok lang. kaw?
vener: ok lng din. punta ka ba sa LIRA?
pen: ano un?
vener: writing workshop un. punta ka website

vener: sat at sun yan
pen: darn!
vener: d ka makapunta?
pen: dko sure e kc work..
vener: sayang nman.
pen: kaw punta?
vener: hindi e.
pen: waaah! bakt?
vener: madami kc ko gagawin..

(at nagkaroon na ng mahabang pause hanggang nag log out na ang isa sa amin..at hindi eto ang eksaktong mga salitang ginamit..props lang hehe!)

im crossing my fingers (and toes too..if it is hell possible to do!) that this will be granted. im calling on the patron of writers and godess of quills! writing is my passion and enhancing it will be a big step for me.

i've been writing (in filipino) since the era of pinoy alternative genre popped out of its shell,the time when ely is still the drop-dead-frontliner of eheads (o pare ko meron ka bang maipapayo? kung wala ay ayos lang..). this is a personal choice, since this is one way of showing my love for our country (pero sa entry na to english talaga dapat :D). i never thought that writing would be my passion. it started as one of the what if moments in my adolescence..what if im a band member who sings her lungs out for the song she wrote..or what if im a song writer of a chart buster song.. or simply what if im a writer who spills out what's on her mind.. the rest is history.. naks!

soooo.. for you who is reading this, please..PLEAAAASSSEEE (i'm begging please) to include me in your prayers *beautiful eyes * hehehe!

thank you! ok back to work..
