Last night I was part of the huge crowd that watched Ang Tanging Ina. I was with Bart, Mabz and Jojo (a co-employee courting Mabz). We stalled at the ticket booth for like half an hour deciding whether to go for Bruce Almighty or Tanging Ina. But since I made up my mind that I’d like a Pinoy flick and was adamantly persuading the two guys to patronize Filipino films they finally decided to just give in and spare them my litany.
The movie made us laugh and cry at the same time. There was one thing though that pissed me off. Twas the girl at the back who kept repeating every fucking word the casts were saying. Wanted so much to strangled her pretty neck or maybe gagged her in front of her boyfriend to shut her up.

i wish i could string words and make them as beautiful like this one....

What will you think
when I reach for your hand
and place it over
my dancing heart
so that you might feel
the stirring you have caused
when the tiniest thoughts of you
trickle through my mind?
