Hindi Malamig ang Pasko ni Niño Valencia.

Definitely NOT.

Especially when you're in Batac, Ilocos Norte.
Mainit ang Pasko hindi bilang may kayakap o kasiping o kapanaig o pag-ibig.
Mainit lang sya talaga dito.
Saying hi and hello from the scorching north, happy holidays everyone!
Let's all toast to that!

A poem about a facial cream

Nivea

One hundred thirty bucks

I should’ve just ordered a Big Mc

But the thought of your smoothing cream

Makes me take out a violet bill

That night when you kissed my face

When you smeared your fluid on my skin

Ahhh…. What can I say?

The violet bill is nothing.

How I wish you would always stay

Perform your miracle to lighten up my sad face

Even just for a few weeks

Cover me with your vita-cream

But you are no exception

Just like the others that passed me by

They have just stayed for just a time

And then,

a violet bill will again be just fine…

Looking Back

t'was originally written on 12/18. Just want to update something on my blogspot.

I got an email from friendster blogs reminding me to moderate the pending comments of my entries on their blog site. As I clicked on the links on the email, I saw two unnecessary comments from a spammer selling me Viagras and potent-pills! hahaha! I would think over their offers if they just sell hair regrowing products. Anyhow, since I was already on the page, I took a quick review of my old blog entries dating from 2004 and was both hilariously surprised and nostalgic on how long my entries were and on how crude my form of writing was. but as I scrolled down further and further on to my older blog entries, I realized the contents of my blogs were pure, unadulterated, and free. Reading my old entries were more like looking back in my history and finding out how much of me has changed and how much of me is still the same. I still feel like writing when I'm in love or melancholic, and somehow I have seen a change in which the freedom I got back from college is now fading and is now being restrained to basic necessities such as salaries, jobs, troubles of getting old. i guess I just miss my old self again or i just miss the old times. I wonder right now if I have progressed or regressed or remained stagnant. either ways, I can see that I have definitely changed and is continuing to change. I shall look back into this entry again to remind me of who I am today, with or without Viagra pills.

Today is the 80th birthday of my dad, Ret. Lt. Sgt. Felicisimo T. Valencia. A man so alive and kicking, he went to Campo Crame from Camarin all by himself yesterday. cheers, dad! I know if you look back right now, there'll be a lot of things you'll also be reminded of. Hope I could also look back as much years as you do. :-) Love you pops!
