Space for the Ramblings in My Head

Well, here I am again, creating another weblog. I already have several weblogs. Some I created long ago I already forgot their passwords.

I hope this one will last.  I don't know yet what will I do with this blog.  Well, I want this to be my own personal space in a really public place.

I am Jay Pascual. I work as a freelance web content writer. It sounds good but overtime, writing web content dulls the mind.  Before writing for the web, I consider myself a poet.

I compose poems, I write essays, and I ramble. When I started writing for the web, I forgot my literary skills.  I cannot even compose a single free verse anymore.

Maybe keywording has done its tricks on me. The longer you write for dumb people, the deeper your dumbness will be.

Now I know what will I do with this blog.  I can use this as therapeutic tool.

For some time now I want to write for myself. I want to write my thoughts, I want to write my feelings, I want to feel how to write again.

I hope this blog would help me do this. I want to capture again the essence of words. I want to taste the sweet lines of poetry.

Maybe this blog could help me. Then again maybe not. Maybe this post could start an avalanche of words. Then again, this could be my first... and last post.  Just like my other blogs who died an unnatural death due to neglect.

I don't expect people to read this blog.  But you are welcome to read it.  Besides, this is my personal blog and I don't care if you read this or not.  I just want a space to vent my thoughts.

I just want a space for the ramblings in my head...

Untitled I

It's not about knowing you when we were there, wandering, in gardens of youthful freedom. What matters is that I've known you, as you are. It's not about seeing you transformed in full splendor palpably radiant and  blinding mortal  eyes. What matters is that I’ve seen you, as you are. It’s not about hearing you, angelic rhythm of imagined voices  wallowing in bitter-sweet laughter. What matters is that I’ve heard you, as you are. It is not about touching you in the deepest  recesses of your uncharted nakedness, utterly lost  in the celebration  of your beauty and passion. What matters most is that I’ve touched you, as you are. It is not about feeling your stormy thoughts and calm contemplations though these are far constellations reached only by stellar signals. What matters most is that I’ve felt you, as you are. ‘Tis not about loving you, sweet rose-p...

Remembering Jesusa Teodoro Martin (My beloved Lola Nena...)

Today is the 106th birthday of my favorite Lola, Lola Nena.  I am posting here a reprint from our Martin Clan Book about Lola Nena. Lola Nena died when I was in 4th grade, that was way back in 1984.  But I always have vivid memories of her (Lola Nena always cooked sweet delights for us)  Here's the reprint I'm talking about.  I think this was written by my cousin Mayo Uno and his Tatay, my favorite Tito Boy. (Excerpts from the Martin-Teodoro Aklat Angkan...): NENA Jesusa was born on January 19, 1903 in Tondo, Manila . Like Dominador, she was the youngest of two children by Santiago Naguit Teodoro ("Iliong") of Bulacan and Elena dela Cruz ("Enang") of Tondo. The eldest was Sergio ("Ikong"). Jesusa was only six when her mother passed away so her aunt Petra ("Pitang"), sister of her father, brought up the two children up. Santiago 's second wife, Leonora Pantanilla ("Nena"), produced six more children:...

Mga Kuwentong Bayan ng Bukidnon

Introduksiyon UPDATE: Ang librong Mga Kuwentong Bayan ng Bukidnon ay maaari nang mabili sa lokal na online shop ng JMP Creative Media. Sundan lamang ang link na ito: BUY NOW: MGA KUWENTONG BAYAN NG BUKIDNON.   Ang pagbabasa ng mga katutubong kuwentong bayan ang isa sa pinakamabisang paraan upang maunawaan ang kultura ng isang bansa. Ayon kay William Bascom, isang kilalang Amerikanong kuwentista at antropolohista, ang mga kuwentong bayan ay salamin ng mga katutubong kaugalian, tradisyon, ritwal, at kultura. Nilalaman ng mga katutubong kuwento ang buod ng pagkatao ng isang partikular na grupo sa lipunan. Ang paglalathala ng e-Book na ito ay isang pagtatangka na maibahagi sa buong daigdig ang ilang piling kuwentong bayan ng tribung Bukidnon sa Hilagang Mindanao, sa wikang madaling maintindihan ng kabataang Filipino. Sa gayon, magiging mas nakaaaliw ang kanilang pagbabasa. Marami na ang nalimbag na mga kuwentong bayan ng tribung Bukidnon. Subalit kadalasan, ang mga kuwento ay nakasu...
