I’m supposed to be posting Sheila Magpaye’s story now but I don’t want to undermine and compromise its chances to land in one of the major dailies so I opt to be a little subdued and instead respond to this demanding tag, the blog’s version of the chain letter and slum book.

Sorry Baluticious…you’ll get to read Sheila's story soon. Swear my ass on it. Neways, I thank jhed for the tag.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU BLOG?
I blog whenever I have the time to do it. And I blog about just anything—the dead giant rat’s indecent display of entrails and blood-stained brain pieces; cogon grasses; gloria macapagal-arroyo (in lower cases); Athan; my floppy disks and stuff.

Sometimes, I blog even without anything ready to say. Things just pop up and emotions and drama come next.

ONLINE ALIAS:
Bananas

WHAT DO YOU DO MOST OFTEN WHEN YOU ARE BORED?
Drink water. Imagine the forest. And read. And write. And drink coffee. And burn my lungs.

WHEN BATHING, WHICH DO YOU WASH FIRST?
Fingers. Testing the waters first.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN AWAKE FOR 48 HOURS STRAIGHT?
Almost. While I love to sleep, sometimes I torture myself by drowning myself in anything that makes me awake. Oh please…no drugs eh…

WHAT COLOR LOOKS BEST ON YOU?
I don’t know. I don’t care about suitability.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?
San Mig Light. Red Horse.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN HEAVEN AND HELL AS A REAL PLACE THAT EACH OF US WILL GO TO AFTER DEATH?
I don't even believe in god (lower case deliberate again).

DO YOU FIND THAT YOU HAVE MORE ONLINE FRIENDS THAN OFFLINE FRIENDS?
No.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SUBJECTS IN SCHOOL?Ethics.
Journalism. Writing for radio. Cultures of Mindanao.

ARE YOU A PERFECTIONIST?
Never.

DO YOU SPEND MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD?
No except time. Procrastinator here.

IS IT BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THAT NEVER TO HAVE LOVED BEFORE?
Exactly. At the end of the day, a person’s gravest regret would not be about the things that he or she has done but rather those that he or she has failed to do—for being a sheer stupid or for the stupidity of not having the balls.

DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF CREATIVE?
Very.

DO YOU GIVE YOURSELF THE CREDIT YOU DESERVE?
Always.

DO YOU DONATE TIME OR MONEY TO CHARITIES?
Yep.

HAVE YOU RECENTLY DONE SOMETHING YOURSELF THATT YOU'VE BEEN CRITIZED OTHERS FOR DOING?
Yeah. Smoking the poison when I am against poisoning.


WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW?
Sleep. I want to fucking sleep.
