Somewhere in between
Holding you
And hugging you,
The apocalypse
Is a beginning,
Not an end.

In between kissing you and
Sniffing you,
Destruction is
A time for reimagining.

Somewhere in between
Crying 
And this embrace,
Everything follows
A purpose,
And even the world, 
With its infinite uncertainties,
Can sleep

Like a child.

You got balls of steel man! I SALUTE YOU!

Such beauty ..

And such end.

What a way to end such beauty.

She died today. A few years ago. Her poetry never died.

A friend boasted that with his new ultra-fast internet connection, he can download a 1GB movie in bittorrent in under 5 hours. I told him that with LBC (Hari ng Padala), I could send him 1000 movies (each 1GB in size) in a 1TB USB Drive in less than 2 days.

That's a freaking 5.78MB per second!

(1000000MB / 48 hours * 60 mins/hour * 60 secs/min)

Beat that bandwidth!

walking in quiapo I see

strange worlds, breathing and living,

running dirty and naked,

yet alive still.

I see:

the dirt of the human soul,

floating endlessly on top of

the rivers, dying,

punished for their propensity

to live amongst the living.

walking and looking, I hear

the sound of a living city,

convulsing and singing,

as if daring the world to more

grueling fights for its soul.

the blade,

the fire,

the laughter of a drunken symphony,

shirts removed and tatoos ablazed,

it dared fate and shouted, mockingly:

is this all you've got?
