3 TYPHOONS AND A WEDDING

Toraji is "a beautiful Korean flower that blooms unnoticed" along the by-pass road to the sanctuary of Mary Help of Christians, a variance from the Asia-wide caucus about an influencing strategy that extended a contract until New year's Eve in Jakarta where the roasted chicken from Bakal 2 will roost like a recorded webinar on safeguarding the bike trails of Calabalabaan.

Nika is a goddess and a very good grandfather.

Usagi is the Japanese "rabbit" described in an email thread between an early morning security induction in Vientiane to a late night narrative of grilled pork belly form Bantug in lieu of an advocacy training on Day 2 of the University Games that featured a race between a milky stew of gastropods and a school of marinated tuna. 

Ofel is a nickname. 

Man-Yi is a "satisfied" Chinese, the centerpiece of an azure wedding near Sta. Arcadia where pizza is not sliced and chicken wings are rendered in a universe of red wine and adobong kambing.

My father's name is Pepito, and Ms. Aya Long's instigated submission is a fallback in case my preference is blown away by the November typhoons...

TWO BIRTHDAYS AND A FUNERAL (HAI[na]KU 68-73)

Menes morphed as Ra
premium safeguarded 

Buttons and gallons 
bland beer boiling in Guimba
red eggs at Old Town



MA in Laos?
Trump is an expired account
JET but not a plane

Last night's buxom band
a cavalcade of mourners
bills RAN, peer reviewed

Old bike, a chopper
Jollibee, Tonton, the bank
a college top up


TCF again?
highway beers and a breakfast
past, present, future

THE HAUNTING (not the movie)

The first half was reviewed but the saints were furious because those in purgatory were omitted in the plan for the next 6 months. 

That took two days of talking to a computer but instead of honoring saints and praying for souls, tombs were scrubbed after a year of neglect.

Candles, flowers, coffee and tupig, and a CALP survey were offered to ghosts as some sort of remembrance.  

Unseen spirits were placated with tiny flames, long enough to have a billing invoice inserted into the first acquittal.

More than a top up,  A$130,00 rehabilitated a mediocre case study but possessed and befuddled a Thursday morning meeting.  

Thus was how old friends pulled an atang of igado from a puddle in Calisitan, the prologue to an assembly of loyal friends and lasagna in Sarrat, and the epilogue for a dinakdakan seasoned with good friends in Bical.




There are serpents in Baloc clad in white, black as the declined birthday tinumis in Bakal 2, turncoats like a roadside tapa that that actually is daing na bangus.

A death in the ICU hurried delayed wellness checks that were stamped with the ressurection of the Iron Man who paid for the monthly bills but not for a round trip to Manila.


Traces of booze burned, the market and a drugstore were raided, a puppy was almost crushed for a Mexican legacy --- the annual haunting of burning candles, wilting flowers, and GCash for the dead...
