appetite of the dreamers

i am channeling my loner and homebody self now that my internship has reached its end. and i dont know when will i ever see the insides of those humongous austere gray stone slabs which are of course the buildings or smell that familiar salty scent of the sea each time i go out of those automatic doors, as the future is still uncertain for me. maybe i have to try turning that place upside down if ever i will become its employee.

anyway, three of my co-interns are still completing the remains of their required hours there and they have called me many times yesterday and today, boosting my sense of self-worth and giving hope to my sometimes-hopeless capacity to make friends. probably, the most asked question of my co-interns and i during our stay at the bsp was where are we going to eat? ladies and gents, we took our more or less one hour (more or less because a monopoly game would oftentimes follow the meal and would always require a winner regardless of the time) lunch-outs seriously. eventually, out of the blue, this love for food hatched into a business concept among some of us, including me. and now we are planning to pursue this concept no matter what. we even created a facebook group to will ourselves to meet every once in a while and discuss about it. of course, we are planning to experiment, to eat, to consult, and to eat more. and we dream to visit thailand someday because we heard of its flavorful cuisine, accessible on the streets. but first we know we have got to start small, participate in bazaars if that’s what it takes. hopefully, it all clicks because i don’t want to break this feeling of being infinite welling inside me.

i am glad i took this opportunity.

well i figured it’s about time to repost this song here because i like it so much. this is the stripped-down version. wait, well they dont love you like i love you.

lifting a comment on this video from youtube: Angus Andrew, for whom this song is for (MAPS = My Angus Please Stay) was Karen’s boyfriend then. Their relationship was falling apart and she wrote this song for him in a last bid to ask him to stay. She invited him to the making of the official video to listen to it, but he never showed up. They waited hours, until finally she just went on stage and sang. But during it she quietly starts to weep because she knows that there is no hope left (earthborne).

mind reading games

Maybe, this is a spur of the moment thing.. but if i have to read someone’s mind, it would have to be joan didion’s. and since neal cassady, jack kerouac and kurt vonnegut and dostoevsky already passed away, they are disqualified from the choices.

there is this massive weight in her writing. So far from what i have read, every sentence is a vein pulsating with so much vigour, working its way to the heart with clear preciseness. every sentence should be digested. There are no meaningless chatters or tautological empty phrases. No, she’s not trying to be impressive, she’s writing for honesty. 

and i want to be catapulted back to 1960s and witness the hippies, the acid-trippers, the rockstars, the baby boomers and her, and just observing how she observes people, and how she writes about them, and how she is losing her mind at the same time, and lastly witness the coexistence of her vulnerability and tenacity.

this is all because i am at the high point of my excitement as i can buy her book soon.

"Keepers of private notebooks are a different breed altogether, lonely and resistant rearrangers of things, anxious malcontents, children afflicted apparently at birth with some presentiment of loss."
