Razor Thin Edge

Not to be melodramatic or pessimistic, but I wonder if it could happen. If one day all of the sudden, I might just finally snap and have to be carted off to the loony bin.

Coming Soon?: Itim na Lawin Nabagsak

So the Americans want to come back for a rematch. There are fewer things more deadly than a guy running amok. Let’s hope the Philippines isn’t the first to taste W’s new policy about nuking countries he doesn’t like.

Rise and Fall

I cannot take the sharp dives, the abrupt ascents
send me reeling, my heart in my throat
thumping and rumbling, like there's something trapped in there
trying to break free
As gravity's iron grip yanks my body out of thin air again
I'm just hoping to black out
to float in the deep abyss of silent ignorance
knowing nothing and not caring
Slapped awake by the whipping wind
impending doom grows in my stomach
