random blab
From the time I got home late last night until this early morning, I was up, working on another short story. The usual: switching fonts from Bodoni to Georgia to Trebuchet to Verdana size 9 bold in a span of three minutes, swigging coffee for the energy, chatting with my brother from time to time (he was drawing while I was writing) to trick myself into thinking that I was not sleepy at all, that sleeping would only interrupt this "white heat," quoting Z of Apprentice to the Flower Poet Z.
I filled blank pages with these burning letters, words came out in sudden, happy
spurts and it just felt so good.
I slept from 5AM to 10AM. Rushed writing an article, then took a quick bath, wore my
Kiko Machine shirt (gift from Michelle!), read Ayn Rand on my way to the office and
arrived here at 1pm.

Big blessings, big blessings. I got my first editorial assignment for Marie Claire!
My brother was a finalist in another drawing competition, this time sponsored by Phil
Heart Center. And his kabarkada since gradeschool, Jennifer, was crowned Bb Pilipinas Universe. Wow.

One of my cousins, the eldest of the Powerpuff Girls is now 13!! My girls are growing up. Fave memory last Sunday: after having lunch at Dads, Eileen, Klar and I bugged the other fam members for money so we could buy our fave gummi candies from this candy store, Pick-a-Mix (?). As soon as Aunt Lolit handed Eileen P100 bill, off the kids ran, dragging their elderly cousin (me) with them.
