Feast of the music-anime admirers.
I just love music.
I transcend all genres.
I live for it.
I live for music...
And Art.

I have yet to summon...
the spirit of productivity...
to produce 3 pages for a very boring and stupid...
1969 movie.
In any case, I'm half done...
And I may at least stop deliberately squandering around
and get back to business.
Working for 14 hours already.
I would allow myself to take a 2 hour break in the form of sleep,
then get back to the same mode again...
Because I simply love doing it...
No matter how I refuse myself to feel it.
Indespicable Gibberish
What would it be like if there is no freedom?Snow White and Prince Charming vowed to live happily ever after for just one meeting.
Cinderella had a glass slipper to walk to her happiness.
Sleeping Beauty only needs to wake up to find her true love.
Why is it so easy to believe that life is best lived alone before I met you?
Why is it so hard to believe the same thing now?
I have forgotten the difference...
Apollo never had Daphne, he married himself to the tree.
Orpheus looked back and Eurydice became root once more.
I am Apollo.
I am Orpheus.
One person is enough.
Memories can do.
Later on, I will become Eurydice.

Timog Avenue
Kakaibang trip.
Maglakad sa Timog Avenue mag-isa at 12:30 am dahil di ako sinipot ng friend ko.
Commute pauwi mag-isa.
Gusto ko sana uminom.
Wala namang kainuman.
See you later friend. Haha.
This is how we magnify loneliness...
Parang nagttrip lang.

Short Pledge for You
As long as I can feel pain and emptiness...
I am close to you.
Let my melancholy drag my life.
I'd gladly go with it.
I am not planning to go on.
I'll swim in this river for eternity.
My tears and my sadness are my only memory of you.
Every single water that I shed
Reminds me that once, I loved.
Thank you for leaving it with me.
Rather than living a life of numbness and a blackened heart.

Message of Kabataan Party-list Rep. Raymond Palatino to the Filipino youth on the historical event of seating the first youth representative in Congress
Kabataan, tayo ang pagbabago.
Message of Kabataan Party-list Rep. Raymond Palatino to the Filipino youth on the historical event of seating the first youth representative in Congress
Five years in the making for the country’s sole youth sectoral party-list, but better late than never and victory is still sweet for all Filipino youth.
Kabataan Party-list, the largest youth party in the country, represented the youth sector in the 2007 elections. It was the second time for our organization to run in the party-list elections. In 2004, we ran under our previous name, Anak ng Bayan, and were among the top choices for party-list based on pre-election surveys. Anak ng Bayan, however, fell prey to massive cheating. A significant number of our votes were anomalously counted in favor of another party-list group, thus our change of name in the 2007 party-list elections.
Despite not winning, we went on with our advocacies and continued to carry on with our principles and general program of action with the help of our founding organizations, such as the National Union of Students of the Philippines, College Editors Guild of the Philippines, League of Filipino Students and Anakbayan and other supporters nationwide and abroad.
Now, five years after our first electoral bid, Kabataan Party-list has finally secured a seat in the House of Representatives per SC GR No. 179271, promulgated April 29, 2009.
Now, we are happy to convey the message to all Filipino youth that the SC Resolution, in effect, has once again marked the youth’s rightful place in history by granting the first ever youth sectoral representation in the House of Representatives.
This is truly a historical event and we share this resounding victory to all Filipino youth who voted for and supported Kabataan Party-list. We are overwhelmed but more than ready to take on the task and challenge of being the sole voice of the youth in Congress.
We are youth from different walks of life. We have long-ago advocated for the youth to devote its intellect, energy and courage to building a better society devoid of corruption, inequality and social injustice. We are youth that foster active participation in nation-building, good governance and change.
In this junction in history in light of our recent victory, we, the youth, are change. Kabataan, tayo ang pagbabago.
We will uphold, promote and defend the interests of the youth to be able to harness our potential as a vital, albeit marginalized, sector in society.
The Filipino youth have always played a pivotal role in ushering in significant changes in history. We have always been at the forefront of uprisings and revolutions every time the social, political and economic conditions in society became too intolerable for Filipinos to endure.
It was young men and women who prevailed in the leadership and membership of the revolutionary army and other patriotic forces against Spanish colonialism, against US colonization, against Japanese fascism and against the puppet regimes in the Philippines.
It was also the Filipino youth who were the biggest marchers and rallyists during the historical First Quarter Storm of 1970, the people power uprising that toppled the Marcos dictatorship in 1986 and once again in the similar uprising that ousted the Estrada regime in 2001.
We are more than willing to take up the cudgels our forebears left us. Right now, a rotten system of governance and a severe global economic crisis confront us but we rise to the challenge of our times.
In the past eight years of the Arroyo administration, the youth has also always been amongst the most vigilant and vocal against issues of electoral fraud, corruption and plunder, human rights violations, tyranny and social injustice causing poverty, hunger and indecent living conditions to the people.
While we recognize that one year is too short a time in the House of Representatives, we pledge to work tenfold to efficiently and effectively bring our new brand of politics to Philippine government. To be able to fully realize this, we appeal to all Filipino youth to work hand-in-hand with us. We reiterate the need for active youth participation in nation-building and continue to rely on the strength and unity of the youth movement to reinforce our sole youth voice in Congress.
We will immediately register our opposition against charter change and join moves by other progressive party-lists to disqualify human rights violator Ret. Gen. Jovito Palparan from assuming party-list representation.
We are also now consulting with youth from different sectors to aid in our plans to immediately submit for legislation bills concerning youth empowerment in governance, employment for the 900,000 new graduates, and tuition fee hike moratorium, among others.
Finally, we look forward to bigger things that lie ahead in the future. It is the Arroyo administration’s last year in office and the youth are anticipating and working for significant changes come 2010. As early as now, we pledge to work for a transparent and clean 2010 elections that will realize the youth’s clamor for good governance and change. We are set to embark on a nationwide youth voters’ registration and education campaign in the aim to collectively mobilize the broadest number of young Filipinos to register, vote, and guard the 2010 ballot.
Change is bound to happen if and when the youth strives for it.
Kabataan, maraming salamat!
Kabataan, tayo ang pagbabago.

Rep. Raymond Palatino, the first youth sectoral representative in Congress
29-year-old Raymond “Mong” Palatino is considered as one of the most brilliant youth leaders in the country. He was chair of the University Student Council of the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman in 2000 and president of the National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP), the largest alliance of tertiary student councils nationwide from 2001 to 2003. He is also one of the leading youth veterans of EDSA Dos.
An education graduate of UP, Palatino has been a prominent figure in various campaigns and issues concerning youth and students. He was convenor to several youth alliances such as the Education for All (e4all) Movement, Abolish ROTC, Tuition Refund, Youth Action Network against electoral fraud and violence, Youth Demanding Arroyo’s Removal (Youth DARE), Youth against Charter Change and Tyranny (Y-CHAT), Youth for Accountability and Truth Now (Youth ACT Now), and TxtPower, a consumer rights advocacy group, among others.
In 2004, Palatino was recognized by the Quezon City government for exemplary youth leadership and was awarded by the United Nations Association of the Philippines as an Outstanding Youth Leader for Advocacy on National Concerns.
Palatino also writes for several online publications, aside from maintaining his own web blog. He is a web columnist for tinig.com, former news editor of yehey.com, a contributing editor for Global Voices Online, and one of the leading members of Bloggers’ Kapihan, an online network of young bloggers. He has also been a regular resource speaker of both Houses of Congress on youth and education issues.
Palatino is also a proud father to his new son Neil Esmond, born a day after the issuance of the SC Resolution, and daughter Renee Elle, 4 years old. ###

A Conversation between the Center and the Head
I made this one time when i cannot sleep... i can't post it all at once, it went up to three pages...
But don't take these seriously. They're crap...
First three stanzas
It has been ten epochs since you have been thrown like mud, Egleia.
How can you forsake yourself in such fashion?
I have not slept since then.
You have been hurt and trampled upon like rocks on an ash pit
And why Egleia?
I have not slept since then...
I have only heard a fit of rage in the message portal
You have been sent to the White Village
I had you surrounded with the muses and the elves...
Why?
After all the nails you're letting this affricate...
And once again you are beguiled!
i thought that Endymion would still be yonder awaiting there when I come back
He was standing at the foot of my abode
He said he was coming back
He told me to hope...
He asked forgiveness...
I was carrying a lot of parcel then
i was weeping
A monster consumed me...
Fire?
But don't take these seriously. They're crap...

Too Tired to Think of a Title - Attempt to Freedom
loud voices
loud noises
that's all you'll ever hear when you are with me
bubbles flying
colors flashing
and all that moves and flows and grows
I was never that tranquil
I've always been the beast at Lake Loch
My eyes have spoken of love once
Now it can only give the slyness that can pierce through your wall
My joviality has long been gone.
It has been washed out and drowned in tears.
My life's a frivolity.
It can never be your haven.
It can never be your heart.
Run free...
The chains were lost
My grip was wrenched loose
Into the calmness beside the Rising Sun.

A Writer's fear
"One of the most terrifying aspects of publishing stories and books is the realization that they are going to be read, and read by strangers. I had never fully realized this before, although I had of course in my imagination dwelt lovingly upon the thought of the millions and millions of people who were going to be uplifted and enriched and delighted by the stories I wrote. It had simply never occurred to me that these millions and millions of people might be so far from being uplifted that they would sit down and write me letters I was downright scared to open; of the three-hundred-odd letters that I received that summer I can count only thirteen that spoke kindly to me, and they were mostly from friends."
