current music: 'Till They Take my Heart Away - Clair Marlo

RAPH IS ON HIATUS.

Yeah. You read right. I'll be away until Sunday, away on the 10th Heights Writers' Workshop. And it's only now that the sound of the words start to ring, only now that it calls a little child out of his hiding place in my chest.

Yeah. Excited na ako. But I haven't started packing. Meantime, bilin kong mensahe... .

..para sa mga Dayzers, hope the meeting on Saturday goes okay. Pls remember the string on my tag should be long, to compensate my thick neck. :p Give a hug and kiss for everyone from me (maging sinu man kayong sisipot. :p) salamat. Mami-miss ko kayo ah.

...para sa LnK, I'm sorry I had to ditch the meeting (on Saturday also. coincidences?), Execom eval pa man din. Sana di ako mapa-"chopping block" dahil sa stint kong deputy studcom. :p Sana pumasa kids natin sa UPCAT. Sana okey ang next summer. Sana nandyan ako kasama nyo. haay. Kayo miss ko na talaga. :D God bless.

...para sa Heightsers, kweh! :p Magkikita rin tayo. Pero, salamat ah. All this ain't possible w/o y'all.

...para sa mga hindi ko binaggit, thanks for the prayers and support. :) And if not, well, bahala na si Batman sa inyo.

Shout-out prayers to the Ateneo Blue Eagles and Larry Fonacier, as I will be away while they play. Hope they win that day.[Shucks, this Saturday will be more eventful than I initially realized.]

So I spend my night listening to mp3's which I will be separated from for a while. And I've not really chatted with my family. Guess they're getting used to me being away. Sana naman hindi, as I've had issues about being needed.

I'm not even thinking about what's gonna happen. I'm looking for a bag for toiletries, a fresh pad/pile of clean paper, my toothbrush and toothpaste, towels, two good pens, and clothes. Lots of clothes, good for four days. And praying my grey bag can carry all these things.

To quote Sir D.M., you "write in white heat, edit in cold blood". I think I'll be running hot, and able to write a lot for a few days. Can't edit anthing anyway, including these posts. I just seem to be running running running...

And as hot as I run now, I wanna pack my bags, listen to M.Y.M.P.'s "Waiting in Vain" five more times, shave my beard off, and catch some sleep.I'm ready to go. Wish me luck y'all.
