What is your goal for the next 24 hours?

To get past this phase of intense cramming and chaos that's about to occur to all my schoolmates.

If you had 10 minutes on a popular TV talk show, what would you talk about?

Oh, man. I'd either talk about my writing/work, or about minority groups. Hehehehe.

Who is your manila book fair date?

Hopefully, my best friend Diana. But in the event that she isn't allowed (because it's hella far) I'll drag one or both my favorite AJs. Hahaha

How's life in the Philippines treating you? :D

Both well and not well, really =) I've adjusted, but the homesickness never goes away completely.

i hope we can write together someday!

I hope so too! :) I have yet to experience collaborating with somebody on a written (creative) work. You could be my first :>

"They held the vowels between their fingers in a way that they hated" (this is golden. keep writing!)

I'm proud of that one too. Thanks :>

I agree with you. Many people are ignorant towards free and talented writers that are based on the Internet, and instead pay attention only to the old and famed ones.

Well, I don't think I feel as strongly about it as you do, but I understand how you feel?

Which literary artist would you say has the most powerful influence in your writing arsenal?

I love this question! :)
I want to name some known poet or author, but really it seems that my biggest influences are unpublished authors I stalk on the Internet, namely Pilar Pedrosa Pilar and Molly Lichten :)

not feeling so hot today :( got a spare picker upper on you?

I have a few, depending on the kind of pickers uppers that work on you.

What is your biggest addiction?

Technology, no doubt. Followed by ice cream and chocolate, and then Coke.

what's your favorite dessert

To be honest, nothing really beats ice cream. My special exception could be Leche flan. Hihi.

I terribly miss you. :< - bunny

I miss you too :( Let's set Skype dates kkaaay? And I'll install Viber, or whatever app there is for you :))

don't pressure yourself to write anything coherent or anything that makes sense! :) even you don't have to read it again, but it helps to let it gush out -- a bit of violent writing -- and then it gets slightly lighter from there :)

Shucks. You must talk/rant/spazz with me some more about writing, okay?

write it out. it helps. :) hope to see more of your writing!

The problem with depression is that I can't seem to write either :( But I'm trying, darling. I'm trying.

Hi, you do know I'm here if you need to talk or anything, right? You know where to find me. :)

:) Thanks

how are you, mapple?

Not so good, to be very honest. I have been failing at everything I do lately.

any favorite poem?

Mad Girl's Love Song, by Sylvia Plath; and
i carry your heart by e.e. cummings
I love a lot of poems, though! These two were just among the first I ever loved, so they're "classics" of sorts on my list :)

maybe if you try it with someone who's really ticklish you won't get bored

Maybe you should accept that people like different things :))

"It is not fun it's annoying D:" not if you do it to someone else

Not really, it's awkward and it gets boring in less than a minute.

"That's a toughie one. I don't really know. I can't seem to bring to mind a list of my ticklish friends. I guess I don't pay attention because I don't like the business of tickling." why don't you like it? it's fun!

It is not fun it's annoying D:

Favorite band?

Mayday Parade, Anberlin, The XX, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, fun. Hahaha, sorry it became a list.

do you like someone in particular

I do; but I am trying to not like him, or at least to like him a lot less :)

Mapple Pie! How're the poetry prompts doing? D: Have you abandoned them already? Oh those poor orphans! They need a mother to help them grow up into poetry! D:

They are still under my wing, don't worry. I am taking my time because I want to raise them properly, so they can lead good and beautiful lives :< (aka uninspired ako haha)

Do you miss anyone right now?

the person I could have been. chosa
Friends, best friends, and my daddy.
