Brutality of the Goddess

pong was right.  my blog is gathering a lot of dust.  i’m glad i have a few minutes to spare today for a little update.

there’s nothing special behind the new hairstyle.  i was just dying of boredom with a hairstyle i’ve had since i was in gradeschool.  it seemed all too uptight for me.  seventeen had a lot to do with the new one, though. 

i’m not going anywhere this summer.  not to tarlac for the pidc nor to indonesia for the audc.  it’s okay.  at least i have a lot of spare time to brush up on my spanish, begin french and italian, and to finish that text book i’ve been dying to read for the longest time now: essentials in international relations.

ma’am irma pal offered me a regular column at the metropost.  i’m hoping you guys could spare some time to read that too.  it would be quite a shame if no one read it.  i did spend a few minutes each day thinking about what to write next.

the tourism office also offered me a chance to write about the literary history of dumaguete for a coffee table book that will be circulated worldwide.  it’s called buglas: beautiful negros.  i was a bit hesitant to accept the project at first but something’s prodding me–and i don’t know what it is–to take it.  thank God for the opportunity.  i hope i’ll deliver.

i’m into entrepreneurship and sales this summer, representing the TIME group of companies.  i sell books worth big bucks.  that’s why i have to spend time studying the prospectus to make sure my clients buy it hook line and sinker.

we’re also planning for the sg this summer.  it pays to use all the time you’ve got before classes actually start.  actually, before the balancing act starts, if you know what i mean.

i’m also coming up with a children’s book i’m hoping to give as a gift to a family friend’s preteen kid.  it’s the beginning of the Darangan series. this one’s called the Spirit Case.  but the title’s still subject to change.  i hope i’ll finish it before classes start.

i don’t particularly consider this summer the busiest yet.  i’m having fun.  i still get to sleep in the afternoons despite the heat.

until next time.
