SLEEPER CELL
Dumakò sa gubat ng sarili.
Bagamá’t sangá-sangá ang trapik ng isip.
Damhín ang ihip sa kubikong silíd
Bilang simoy sa bukana ng kamalig.
Pikít ang matá, pag-iralin ang balahibo.
Gawíng totoó ang paá, tadyáng, balikat, noó.
Dinggín ang mga ringtone, busina at mura;
Kasabáy ng lagaslás ng umiibig na batis.
Bilangin ang bawat nadarama, nadiriníg.
At sakâ idilat ang matá sa detalye ng sandata.

SUMMER 2024
March 8, 2024
The good news is, SUMMER!
What’s in store for your summer? Even if busy with pragmatic existence, don’t forget to enjoy it. Been buying .22 Cal pellets for good measure, they usually become scarce in the provinces in this time of year. Also looking for my other CO2 tank, will fill it up since our farm is quite secluded. This is for plinking ladies and gentlemen! Not for shooting those hapless birds (I swore off shooting wildlife because of one incident in childhood, I posted it here once before). It’s fun to plink to while away the time while camping.
ARISTOS, Santiago Villafania!
March 2, 2024
My bard-brother Santiago Villafania passed away. And the word “Aristos” comes to mind. It was our creed back in the day, and perhaps will be my creed as long as I am here.
