the weirdo and the majestic Mt. Makiling in the background
Nitong isang araw lamang ay ginanap ang Pagtatapos Batch 2011 ng Villamor Air Base Elementary School (venue: Cuneta Astrodome). Parang kailan lamang nang ako mismo yung Grade 6 na nag-gradweyt... nostalgia... Sa Alma Mater song na "Sa Iyong Isang Alay"- tinupad ko nga yung tinutukoy sa lyrics nun na "isang panatang muli kang babalikan/ upang sa iyong paanan/ muli kang aalayan..."
Ha! Tag-init na nga at namumukadkad na ang mga puno at iba pang halaman. Ayoko nang mag-summer classes sa PNU! Gusto ko naman ng mahaba-habang bakasyon (the advantage of teachers over office employees, nyehehehe, may sweldo pa rin kahit summer na). Hay, ang bakasyon sa Iloilo na matagal ko nang pinanabikan!

Madalas nga akong mamili sa mga ukay-ukay sa Pasay-Edsa area lalo na kapag may sale. Iniisnab ko na lang ang mga retail stores sa loob ng mga mall. Sobrang mahal ng mga produkto nila. Tulad na lang sa Dickies branch ng Metropoint. Ang taray pa ng mga sales ladies nang tinanong ko lang tungkol sa 70% off kuno nila. Kung ano raw ang nasa etiketa ay siya nang 70% ng original price ng t-shirts na tinda nila. Ha? Itong isang t-shirt na kupas na ang kulay ay 300 pesos pa rin kahit na 70% discount na? At bigla ko na lang napagtanto na best friend talaga ng masa ang mga tindahan ng mga ukay-ukay! Doon nga sa isang ukay-ukay sa Edsa, at least mas friendly naman ang bading na tagatinda kaysa mga sales ladies sa mall na kay kapal ng make-up. Segunda mano na lamang na kasuotan kahit na hindi mo naman kailanman malalaman kung sino ang huling nagsuot nito. Anong Penshoppe? What Bench or Human? Forme, Cinderella, Kashieca, Karimadon? Komersyalisadong kapitalismo, hehe! Saan ko ba huling nakita ang mga tindahang iyon? Sa mga ukay-ukay, hindi man mga produktong Pilipino ang mabibili doon ngunit nakatutulong pa rin naman tayo sa ating kapwa-Pilipino, eh. Sino ba ang kadalasan ang mga may-ari at naghahanapbuhay nang marangal sa pamamagitan ng mga tindahang ukay-ukay? Mga Pilipino siyempre! :)

Hey, I'm supposed to be an independent, self-publishing fiction writer through my Samizdat Publications and yet selling my first published books had became difficult despite the good story quality and affordability of these. I think that I'll be returning soon to that search for a publishing company like I did in the past and so I must lay down my "pride" for my other unpublished manuscripts. I hope that I'll find a just and humane publisher who is open-minded to give chance to aspiring fiction writers like me, support Philippine literature and renewed interest in reading books, and without the attitude of treating the publishing industry as just some business gamble.
SOLILOQUY According to Webster’s Dictionary, soliloquy (so-lil-o-kwi) n. /plural soliloquies/ is the act of speaking one’s thoughts aloud in solitude; a speech in a play through which a character reveals his/ her thoughts to the audience, but not to any of the other characters, by voicing them aloud , usually in solitude. (derived from Latin soliloquium “to speak alone”).
