Watched a series of Cinemalaya films this weekend. Finally being able to spoil myself with things that I really wanted. All my thoughts and reflections on the movies I watched (Rookie, Iti Mapukpukaw, Huling Palabas) are swimming right now in my half-awake brain so I don't know if I can assimilate them and somewhat anchor them down on paper or even in a post. This is my major problem: I am too lazy, or distracted, or pressured.

I have always wanted good stories since I was a child. As I grew older, I also wanted to tell stories of my own. I promised myself that one day, I will finally have the right emotional climate to finally start. If that day does not come, then I hope I can forgive myself. For now, this should be enough.

I cannot wait to hear your stories too, dear reader. For now, we go out into the world and listen.
