I am planning to take a rest from blogging. Maybe a month or so…

Why?

Simple, it is because I am running out of energy. And as it for me, seldom, writing took a hell amount of energy. I found out that, lately, focusing on things that I want to do, is becoming a privilege that I can’t afford.

As you can read in some of my previous post, I do owe some writing project to my friends. And a promise is a promise. I tend to keep that.

Just now… a friend texted me and told me that some of the guys at MP are planning another anthology on short stories and poetry, and she recommended me to the committee. Arghhhhh…..

Sadly, I have to say no... well, not entirely rejecting the honor. I would say yes to the poetry project, I’d simply post some of my old archives, and the rest is up to them. But not on the short stories…

And if I’m going to be selfish, I’d write my essay on Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman” 1^st. it’s much more of a consideration towards my future.

Heck… I am already tired writing this short entry.

Until then, I’ll see you when I see you.

And in her eyes…
A pool of comfort

Ignoring my fear of drowning

Q : Ah… so we meet again sir…
A : Well… Yes Miss. And I can’t help not to wonder. Aren’t I bore you to death on our last year interview?
Q : No Sir… in fact. I was quite enjoying it….
A : Very well miss…
Q : Without sounding trite, let’s get on to the interview shall we?
A : Oh. I thought you were already turned on your recorder miss…
Q : Glad to see that you’re not loosing your awareness Sir
A : I’ll take that as a compliment. Thank you.
Q : So… 27 eh?
A : Yes. Someone up there must be thinking the world would be less colorful if not having me around…
Q : Wow… Since when did you learn that narcissus is on your family tree?
A : Well… Since I realize that my old blatant sarcasm was rubbing off on you miss…
Q : Fair enough
A : Next question please…
Q : How’s the writing works?
A : Crappy… as always…
Q : Ok… And how does it feel when you learned that you were out of “the top ten skeptical bastard of the year”?
A : Relieved
Q : Relieved? How come?
A : I got a girl friend
Q : I don’t see any relation here. But okay… I’ve been hearing rumors, saying, that you’re planning to get married this year…
A : Well… it’s not rumors
Q : So… Who’s..
A : Wait. You’re not going to say “who’s the unlucky girl?” aren’t you?
Q : Uhm… well… busted.
A : Hahaha…
Q : Well?
A : Uhm. Okay. Let’s not try to make this interview into a gossip column shall we?
Q : Haha… very well Sir. So… How does it feel? 27 years old?
A : Old
Q : How’s work?
A : Tiring. But I enjoy it. I guess…

Q : Including writing a book?
A : Still in my dream
Q : Love life?
A : Nice try Miss…
Q : aw... Ok. How would you recap the whole years behind you with being you?
A : Well… I try not to think that much. It can be devastating to have this whole unnecessary scenario in your head. I try to broad more and more my views in life. I met a lot of new friend… pissed off some moron… In a nutshell… I think I just enjoy my life…
Q : I see… Any celebration party?
A : Nawh… I hate parties. But, somehow… I got this bad feeling that I’d be dead broke at the middle of the month…
Q : Hahaha… So I guess no candle light dinner for me like last year?
A : Hahah… I’ll compensate it. Err… How about I’ll let you to have another interview next year?
Q : Deal
A : Good girl…
