boykot nestle

san ang patay dito?

walang patay dito.

nasa isang pulong si ka fort. tagapangulo ng unyon ng nestle phils nang isang kotse ang tumigil sa harap ng piketline. nagtanong ang sakay nito sa lupamit na si ka fort.

umalis ang kotse matapos iyon.

ilang oras matapos. isang lalaki na aaligid aligid sa piketline ang nakita habang ito ay nagtetxt.

isang text message ang natanggap ni ka fort mula sa kanyang maybahay na nagsasabing kailangan madala sa ospital ang kanilang apo.

nagpaalam si ka fort sa mga kasama sa piketline at nagbilin.

kayo na ang bahala sa piketline mga kasama.

sakay ng kanyang motrosiklo umalis si ka fort. malapit na siya sa kanilang bahay nga barilin ng nakamotor ding kalalakihan.

tinamaan sa likod si ka fort. tagos sa kanyang puso. ang ikalawang bala ay puminsala sa kanyang apdo.

isinugod sa ospital si ka fort.

dead upon arrival.

wala na si ka fort. ang pen medina ng mga taga nestle.

pagaling ka heya hello baby. so we can..

pagaling ka heya hello baby.
so we can..

Because I love you. And if you come back with me t…

Because I love you. And if you come back with me to the hospital and fight for us. Fight for us, I will never leave you Victor. But you have to fight. And if you get well, when you get well, I’ll be there with you. And if you die, I will hold your hand. I’ll hold your hand and the last thing you will ever see will be me because I love you.
-julia roberts, dying young

standing in a waiting shed on my lonesome. watchin…

standing in a waiting shed on my lonesome. watching raindrops form vertical lines from the sky. watch different generation of comuters alighting and boarding. watch jaywalkers crossing the street anywhere. a tshirt print caught my attention.

TRUE LOVE IS WAITING.

hah. ano to?

napasmile naman ako. sa mga oras na naguguluhan ka kung aales ka na ba o maghihintay pa ng konti nakakatuwa na biglang susulpot ang mga ganito.

hey, im waiting here for nearly 4 hours. at kung wala lang meet.. waiting pa ren..

true love?

sa tequila joe’s nakita ko si james blanco. wala lang.

——

ansaket ng ulo ko last night. uh the whole day pala. consistent. tas ang ingay pa sa newsdesk. me nagpapiano ng somewhere in time, may nagtatawanan ng malakas, may naghahanap ng upuan, mag nagsosolisit, may nagkukumustahan. gusto kong gumawa ng sariling mundo sa mga oras na iyon.

at wala akong iimbitahing sumama.

——

kala ko makakatulog nako kase sobrang pagod ako. wala. binantayan ko lang the whole night yung BOY BAWANG kase nagbabanta ng paglusob ang mga daga.

——

di ko alam why they are afraid of my work of art. the latest, a paper mache head of a man.

mom: anu ba yang mga pinaggagawa mo?
brother: waaahh [ala monster]
mom: baka mapanagipan mo yan.
me: sus, wala kayong alam sa art.
mom: art art
me: puro kase kayo 168 [the shopping arcade somewhere in avenida]
mom: baket walang isang tenga?

brother ends up the heated debate by telling stories bout the prisoners of alcatras.

waiting for sunday to come.

hindi ka ba titigil sa kakahabol sa pangarap ng iba para sa iyo?

you make me a shadowboxer baby

it was a tiring day yesterday. from a h2o-less rally stint diretso ako sa cubao-x for the second to the last leg of the performance arts festivities. what makes more tiring is the fact that im not wid my aroma teraphy. she was probably sleeping, saliva-drooling in her bed or bloghopping-forgeting-to-email-me-again in front of the computer. hell, thats ok. she needs a rest. let her be. heya there anei baby. miss you mucho.

hell again. i was sitting solitary the whole night in cubao-x. watching performers do their stuffs. one artist, asked for an audience participation for his performance. he needs brave souls. yeah, as in brave. nagpapanggap na brave. i volunteered.

nasesence ko na eh, he keep on repeating that the performance has somenthing to do wid nudity. lumamig lalo yung hangin.

eto na. we formed a big circle. tas, instructions were given. TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS.

kaboom.

hesitant at first. but when i saw the gurls taking off theirs [yeah you heard it right- gurls] wag ka tatawa, i took off mine.

the mere thought that i am in the middle of about 75 pairs of eyes makes me shiever. maliban sa katotohanang sadyang napakalamig ng hangin. sobrang inaantay ko na mag-bow sha signalling na tapos na ang aking ordeal.

pero habang tunatagal, nagiging comportable na ako. ilan lang kameng nagpunta sa gitna. wala akong ni isang kakilala dun. camera flashes everywhere. kahet naman papano napatunayan ko sa sarili ko na me guts nga ako. brave nga siguro ako.

paminsan minsan.

"UGNAYAN ‘05"4th Philippine International Performa…

“UGNAYAN ‘05″

4th Philippine International Performance Art Festival

(PIPAF)

UGNAYAN ’05 is a week-long performance art festival tobe held in several venues around Manila from SEPTEMBER17-22, 2005.

The 4th PIPAF was conceived, as an “event” forartists, to reconstruct through their performativeactions the “invisible in the visible”. As a”venue-for-exchange”, a “meeting point” between andamong national and international performance artists,“UGNAYAN’05” bolsters that urgent desire toreintegrate art and life and reaffirm and re-identifywith own cultural roots. As a “platform” for artists,it is to redefine contemporary, theoretical andconceptual art making processes – to reclaim lostvalues and denigrated methods and codes that re-createnew cultural systems.
