Versions of violence: Talk.

This boy's no longer too young to be singing the blues. Tuesday, October 7. The skeleton of what I told a bunch of poor, unsuspecting kids for Kritika Kultura a couple of weeks ago, which of course borders on overzealous and bullshit:. How hard could it be, right? When that story was workshopped, one disgruntled panelist asked rhetorically: “Do we need this character? Do we need a story like this in Philippine literature? So I withheld my apology. Ganda ‘di ba? October 31, 2014 at 12:45 PM. Hi I'm Glenn&...

This boy's no longer too young to be singing the blues. Saturday, May 10. On Wednesday, I messaged him and was surprised when he replied. I was at the downtown area, a distance from Jaro, where his dorm was. His family lived in Passi, where, the following day, my team had lunch after a client shoot at nearby Dingle. Because nearby Robinsons closes at 8 o'clock, we were reduced to eating stale, overpriced Starbucks sandwiches. You know those people who eat with reckless abandon? Links to this post. Hi I'm...

This is a personal blog, which is to say there is nothing special here, except stuff that are special to me, which are, I suppose, special in that respect. To me. But maybe to someone, too.

This boy's no longer too young to be singing the blues. Monday, July 7. And oxygen, after a while, became easier to come by. But I was feeling so weak, so I asked to be taken to the nearest hospital an hour or so away. At the ER, a judgmental nurse saw the chipped (aquamarine) nail polish and bobbled her head, after which she told me to turn to my side and pull my pants. By the time we were on our way back, it was near dusk, and I had only one thing on my vegetable-adled mind: KFC. As you can see, this s...

Versions of violence: India II
http://glenndiaz.blogspot.com/2013/12/india-ii.html
This boy's no longer too young to be singing the blues. Tuesday, December 3. I still think it is a gift- all this time to write, the (largely unfounded) belief that the project is worth investing on- but the faces are now familiar; the cold, tolerable; the silence, no longer an oppression. The profound exhilaration that I had felt at the prospect of being away from Things, I had been constantly revisting it. Had it been an exaggeration? Am I getting a lot of writing done? The heartbreaking thing about a ...

http://glenndiaz.blogspot.com/2013/12/india-iii.html
This boy's no longer too young to be singing the blues. Friday, December 20. A few days ago, a team from a local news magazine came over to talk to me and another writer about an upcoming literary festival where we'll be reading. It was giddy seeing the writer-photographer tandem, mostly because they reminded me so much of, well, me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Endings inspired by a sestina (fiction prompt). From Poets&Writers, Week 35: Find a short story youve written i...

Versions of violence: Update.
http://glenndiaz.blogspot.com/2013/04/update.html
This boy's no longer too young to be singing the blues. Tuesday, April 16. If I take a step back, these things delight me. That matters, because I always pendulum between kicking myself for slacking off and comforting myself that I have time, for whatever it is that I need to be doing. There is always anxiety in this department. Tangentially connected to this is the realization that I hate change, which leads me to:. Fuma-flaneur - to the bank for some errands.

This boy's no longer too young to be singing the blues. Monday, July 29. After a long silence in the car, Ma'am C stirred and said, "Your sensibility, not typical CW, 'no? I chuckled because it was familiar territory. After another long silence, she observed, "Lots of fat characters in your story. Noticed that? In Angeles, there is a restaurant where we would end the day. She with her palabok and coffee, me with my mami and tsokolate. How else could I persist without this. August 5, 2013 at 8:06 PM.
