Inkless Pen

It has been days since I have written something. I feel like an idiot staring at the videocam then not knowing what to talk about in my vlog. I am defintely in trouble if I cannot submit anything for my column. Yes, I am in limbo again or in other words- writer’s block.

So if anyone has any advice to get my groove back into writing, I would be eternally grateful…or just be my muse for writing.

Sigh, I hate my inkless pen.

Multiples of Fear

Fear cripples.

Fear haunts you like a menacing spirit.

Fear thrives on doubts and mistrust.

Fear wakes us from thinking we are invincible.

A fire in a split second takes everything even your life. From the mansions to average size homes, you lose it to one flicker.

You casually go to the mall and boom! A bomb explosion and you see lifeless bodies around you and you try to run away. Morbidly, you find your mangled legs 15 feet away.

A get away vacation in a paradise. Coupled with bliss are swarms of suicide bombers.

Everytime you board a plane, the numbers 911 still lingers in your psyche.

Resting your head on the cold pole of the train, a crazed person swings his fan knife.

Call me paranoid. Call me ridiculous to fear for my future children. Who does not wish for a peaceful world? Who does not want to live without constantly looking over your shoulder for any imminent danger?

I pray for safety because I am honest- I do not want to die….not just yet.

If I ever do, I plead that my face and body would still be recognizable.

Agression is innate in us. . Most of us have tamed the beasts inside us but many, screwed up by their beliefs choose to unleash it.

Their ultimate goal is to take lives without remorse. This is the fear I cannot seem to shake off everytime I walk and turn to a corner.

*My heart goes out to the families of those who perish in the bombing of Glorieta Mall in the Philippines. To the officials of my country, please stop keeping track of your pork barrel and keep an eye on our nation’s security.*

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the Creepiest One of All?

Halloween Night on the 6 Train

 A New Yorker lies down on the wooden floor,
So weary, so tired, she could think no more;
profilepic41.jpgso she fell asleep with strength in bane
Dreams that she rode on a clean Manhattan bound train.

The boiler was filled with eerie fear
And George Bush himself was the engineer;
The passengers were Motley Crue
She does not have a single * ing clue

GQ men in Gucci cloth, with tails they seem to wag
Gargoyle looking women and one like a rich old hag
Everyone choo- choos with all their might
In the train of Bush oh my! What a horrible sight!

The train rustles on a bloody clueless pace
Bush, with his devilish grin and foot in the mouth face;
Wider and longer, the city grew,
Faster, the train’s engine flew

Loud screams and the train crashed
Gory blood and broken bones clashed;
Desperate and stale the air became
She quivers in fright with such amount of shame

The 6 train dashes with the people’s yell
With Bush on board, it’s definitely hell!
Oh! how she shrieked with intolerable pain
And begged heavens to stop the dumb train

But he did the ridiculous jig with glee,
And giggled, joked at their misery
The New Yorker thought it was true
That her time was not yet due

The ghastly conductor will now retire
Smarter America will never rehire
A war with no logic but only fear
Lost thousands of soldiers who were so dear

The caboose draws to a sudden halt
Her face down on the dirty asphalt
She was dreaming all along
It is Halloween all night long

Ghouls and goblins is no match
If your conductor is a stupid punch
Another hope is at bay
George’s Halloween will never again stay
For the next election is on its way 

Halloween is just around the corner.

When to settle down?

When to say yes?

 When to say not yet?

Tell me since I am so confused…
