blackout
 | |
I probably shouldn’t be writing yet another sappy love post.
I know people only like me when I’m depressed.
But after all the bullshit I went through last year,
Don’t you think I deserve my moment of happiness?
And besides, it’s not like I’m not trying to write.
This story* I’ve been working on hasn’t been going anywhere.
What can I do when every time I pick up my pen, all I can think of is you ?

Nyl!!! I hate you. Kanta ko yan! Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteBut that was a long time ago, perhaps the song is yours now.
Kane
Kane: Honey, I am very open to the idea of sharing the song. Ewan ko nalang kung ipagdadamot mo pa. haha I felt kinda silly because I didn't know it was a Kylie song. I only knew the hook so I was singing it (super badly) to a friend para ma-identify namin. haha
DeleteLOL. Read Kane's post, and yeah, it was his song.
ReplyDeleteThis gave me an idea on what I'll post on my "Amnesia" entry. Thanks for that Nyl.
And don't worry about "A Criminal Mind". Ideas are everywhere. Somehow, you'll find one :)
Rei: I'm sorry I didn't do the song justice. It was just seriously this earworm I had to indulge. :(
DeleteAnd you're welcome. Blackout poetry's been around for a while but I only got the idea to really try it when I saw Orange's post. :)
Over. Haha. Seriously, you think too much.
DeleteAnd thank you,again, for introducing me to blackout poetry. So this is it huh. Didn't figure it out the first time I went here.
Rei: Yes, I famously overthink things. I think it helps with the writing process. You can't be selfish and just have one side of the story in mind, right?
DeleteNot that this post is particularly brilliant. if it's blackout poetry you want, you'd be better off Googling since this isn't a very good example. For starters, you're supposed to use an actual book I think.
or check out Trip's page over at The Light Fantastic. She's a powerful writer and back in September, she did a couple of awesome blackout posts. You can thank me once she's blown you away by what she can do.
Well, I suppose over thinking helps. Hehe. And I followed The Light Fantastic. You're right, she's amazing. Thank you for making her blowing me away LOL.
DeleteRei: Not sure if I made her blow you away. The girl's super talented. You're welcome. :)
DeleteWell, she did. Or you did. Or something. Hahah.
DeleteNate: :D (ngitian portion!)
ReplyDeletemhmm..
ReplyDeleteLOF: Is that a Jewish mother's grunt of disapproval? lolz
DeleteJewish mother's expression of knowing the subtleties.... its composed of three parts: m -- hm -- m. grunt of disapproval is just mhm. lol
DeleteLOF: And I had to do it for myself to get it. haha after that dinner, you got a pretty clear picture of what Z is doing to me. lolz
Deleteano po ito?LOL
ReplyDeleteMac: May mga lihim na nakatago sa kadiliman! hehe
Deleteooooh i just love the way that sounds! hahaha :D
DeleteSin: Alam mo yan. Haha Madaming nagtatago sa gabi! :p
Deleteanong kaguluhan to nyl fredewik?
ReplyDeleteMots: Wala to, Womy. Epekto ng magulong taste bads. hehe
Deletegusto kong i-try to. heheh sa berso sa metro?
DeleteMots: Go! I've yet to see it explored fully in Filipino. Pero wag mo ko gayahin ah. Kailangan may complete thought yung sentences. Hindi puro You lang. haha
Deletei think i have the purrfect book for this hihih
DeleteMots: DON'T YOU DARE USE NEVER LET ME GO! (yes, all caps para dramatic!) That book's too previous to be vandalized! lolz
Deletei'll be using dandandandan.......ALBOM. Char lang.
Deleteellen sicat's unang ulan ng mayo.
Mots: Albom talaga? Eh sayang naman yung favorite mo. lolz
DeleteDi ako familiar kay Ate Ellen. Kaano ano niya si Ellen Velah? lolz Anong meron sa Unang Ulan ng Mayo?
btw, ang creative mo dito yehhee
DeleteMots: Yes naman, nambola pa. haha Kulang pa ba pambobola mo?
DeleteSalamat, sir. Dahil nuknukan ka ng creative, ipiprint ko yang comment mo at ipapaframe ko. Gagawa din ako ng maliit na version na ipapalaminate ko so I can keep it in my wallet at all times. :p
Belat, happy buoy.
ReplyDeleteSpiral: So I'm so sorry. Nakakahiya naman. Google flagged your comment for spam. I was manually approving it when *tada* Delete napindot ko. haha So sorry.
DeleteAnd yes, I'm a happy buoy right now. Wish ko lang people still stick around for this version of me. Ewan. haha Wasn't this the point of EBHBC? The original peg, that is.
s'okay.
DeleteAnd lookit, who'd have thought that you'd actually be the happy buoy while we were doing this? :)
Spiral Prince: It's like the universe conspired! haha but I'm not too happy with my blog life right now. I guess you really can't have it all (or not all at once) My career and love life's real nice right now. I just wish I could get a handle on my writing.
Deletehahaha! ngitian portion FTW!! :P
ReplyDeleteAnother mystery post from Nyl! Very good job. Argy, I really need to start working on amnesia.
ReplyDeleteLJ: I think that's all I'm good for these days. haha My mind's a little clogged. Like I said up there, my Criminal Mind story just isn't shaping up. *sigh*
DeleteBad ba that i'm thinking of the h word again? lolz
Actually, hindi naman, however, i know you will not stop writing. Maybe you will have the H word, which is needed, but you will be writing anytime soon. :)
DeleteLJ: Aww well thanks for the faith, LJ. :)
Deleteawww!!! haha kinailangan ko pa lumipat from android device to m laptop para ma-highlight lang at makita what's written underneath. ahihihi
ReplyDeletehmmmmm sino kaya ito?? may nahuhulaan ako. pero di ko na sasabihin. ahihihi :)
Sin: Kilala mo yan! haha Napagkwentuhan na natin ng slight. :p At salamat for shifting to your laptop. Pasensiya na sa abala.
Deletehaha keri lang noh!
Deletekinutuban kai ako na yung mga itim e yung tipong highlighted kembot na kelangan i-highlight uli (huwaaaaat?) haha :D
Sin: Ay oo nga ano. Haha and here I was thinking ipapaste siya sa notepad or something. lolz
DeleteNate: Eto isa pa pero ngiwi: :/ lolz
ReplyDeletehangkyut! hehe. Ang sarap lang basahin.. parang may pa-tweetums na nagbublush na ngiti habang sinusulat ah. Nice!!
ReplyDeletePepe: Wala naman atang blush na nagaganap lolz I'm too dark for that. :p Salamat Pepe! :)
DeleteWriter's block, which could also go appropriately with blackout. Hey, I don't like you for the extravagant manner of which you express your darkness. Though apparently, I think you've already got past that. *for now* (may for now talaga!!)
ReplyDeleteGreen Breaker: Haha you are too sharp lolz I was trying to avoid using WB as an excuse.
DeleteThank you for not liking me for that single dimension. Nakaka-ulol yun haha
And kaloka yung "for now" ha. haha I have a feeling this little situation will balloon in the next few days. :p
Nyl, tell Kane that I wrote that song! It's MINE. I'm sitting here collecting royalties and working simply for the sheer joy of working. But he and his posse (That's POSSE, not pussy! :P) can enjoy it in da kluubs. (Damn, I'm amusing myself!!!)
ReplyDeleteRick: I didn't realize you were a hotshot pop producer. Wiki tells me your real name is Lil Eddie Serrano. lolz
DeleteThere's something very liberating about thoroughly enjoying an inane pop song, no? It's like I don't give a fuck. I just want to enjoy myself. ;]
Now you got me in the mood......getting ready to watch the latest elimination on American Idol @ 8PM.....
ReplyDeleteRick: I'm more of into The Voice right now but I've been following Jessica Sanchez's performance via YouTube. She's part-Filipina so my allegiance is almost automatic but unlike Ramiel, Jasmine and Camille, she's actually really talented. :)
DeleteI got into the Voice, but my schedule has me working Monday nights. Interesting format. This is the first Idol season I've watched in about 6 years. Sanchez IS very good, but like David Archuleta before her, I get really tired of that squeeky cutsie shy shit at the end of every song when the judges are having their orgasms. GROW SOME BALLS AND TAKE CONTROL OF THE STAGE! My favorite is Joshua Ledet. Oh damn can he sing! Love it! My prediction for top 3: Jessica, Joshua, and Colton. Winner? Jessica.
DeleteRick: You're lucky. They don't even air it over here. I have to download each episode bia The Pirate Bay.
DeleteI totally get the Archuleta reference. It was cute for the first few episodes but by the time he was doing really well, it just got annoying. The only thing I can say about Jessica is it may be a Filipino thing (although she did grow up over there) A Filipino would never, ever accept a compliment. haha
I do hope Jessica wins. That girl's got real decent chops.
"I know people only like me when I’m depressed."
ReplyDeleteoh nyl. don't underestimate some of your readers. most of them like to see you happy. it wouldn't hurt, i think, to write 'sappy love posts' once in a while...
:)
Geek's right Nyl. :)
DeleteGeek: (and Rei lolz) Well, that's really comforting to hear. I guess it's a fear that's always at the back of my head. I just have to learn to balance stuff and hopefully, things will be fine.
DeleteHah! I saw the video with everything but "you" blacked/blocked out and thought of The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!
ReplyDeleteAmy: Video? Which video?
DeleteI love that movie! Which reminds me, I should schedule some Eternal Sunshine time this weekend. :)
"You" ? What about "me" ? What, haha
ReplyDeleteAndy: Anong "me" eh you've never showed your face to us. lolz I still owe you a meal for being my 100th right? Kung kailan naman nagpahinga na ang coffee babies sa mga blogger meets. lolz
Deleteconceptual! me likey!
ReplyDeleteJohn Chen: Oh you are back! :)
DeleteYou like it? I was talking to Z about it last weekend and I was just saying how I wasn't a big fan of these recent posts. Something about them registers as lazy and rushed. Ewan. haha
well, they hit the right notes with some people. unless you're blogging for your readers, or playing for the gallery, i don't think you should worry too much. i blog to retain memories; that some people find them interesting is just a bonus. :-)
DeleteJohn Chen: I get conscious every now and then. I can't lie to myself and say I'm doing all this for myself. And that's as honest as I've been on this page in weeks. :(
Deletehong cheseh... but I like it. :)
ReplyDeleteParteeboi: Jubey! We didn't get to meet when you were here! Kelan ba balik mo? We have lots of cheseh stuff to make chika! hehe
Deleteang orteh
ReplyDeleteGlentot: Ganun talaga! Alam mo yan. haha
DeleteSiyempre pinilit kong aninagin ang iba pang mga salita. Haha.
ReplyDeleteVictor: You're vuck! haha
DeleteNaka "lorem ipsum dolor..." lang yan. Ganun ako katamad nung araw na 'to. lolz
