Ipinasok ni Miguel ang mga kamay sa bulsa bago nagsalitang muli.
“Akala mo ba ay naging madali para sa akin ang bumaba sa pedestal na kinalalagyan ko, para lang sa iyo Anna? Akala mo ba ay ginusto kong mawalan ng kontrol sa buhay ko nang dahil sa iyo?”
Bumuntong-hininga ito.
“Lumaki akong pina-iikot sa mga daliri ko ang mundo. Lahat ng bagay na gustuhin ko ay nabibili ko. Lahat ng klaseng tao ay napapasunod ko.” sabi nito. “I was a fucking straight A student in College! Nag-masteral ako sa States!”
“Kahit sa negosyo ay wala akong pinalalampas na pagkakataon para gamitin ang utak ko.” Tila nanghihinang isinandal nito ang sarili sa dingding. “Matalino ako Anna!”
Sandaling katahimikan.
“Pero pagdating sa iyo..” Hirap ang loob na tinitigan siya ng binata at tila wala sa sariling isinuklay ang kamay sa buhok. “Pagdating sa iyo ay nabobobo ako.” anas nito.

Do I need to read/view something before I get this post?
Pero on it’s own – I like it very much. Ang galing ng build up ng eksena. Maganda dialogue. Pati mga accompanying gestures – very natural. Di contrived.
Pati comment masaya.
Nobe, may mga short stories ka ba? Do you write fiction. Wala lang. I’d love to read it. Sige na – out with it.
Posted by nobe on September 17, 2009 at 8:05 pm
no it’s just an excerpt of what i wrote 3-5 years ago. lol ayaw ko nang ipapasa sa iba ang mga sinuslat kong love stories. baka ma turn-off sa akin ang mga tao. i’m so CHEESY!. lol

PS.
I’m using Chrome kasi mabagal ang Firefox ko lately. This means wala akong bookmarklets. Kaya di ko maishare itong magandang post mo. Can you add a Tweetmeme icon to your posts? Sige na. Para maishare ko sa mga friends natin. “,)
Posted by nobe on September 17, 2009 at 8:03 pm
im going to have to research tweetmeme pa jan. hahaha. no idea what that is. lol
Posted by jan geronimo on September 17, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Are you kidding me? It’s an icon that readers can click so they can share the link to your post in Twitter. It helps to make your post viral.
From that excerpt alone, let me say you’ve great control of your material, Nobe. Not cheesy at all. Those who will dismiss it as such are in denial. Or they don’t know great writing even if it smacks them in the face. Go for longer pieces sometimes. I’m sure your fans would love it. Me included. “,)
Posted by nobe on September 18, 2009 at 8:02 am
believe me jan, this is a long piece. hahaha! hindi ko lang talaga maipasa kahit saan kasi nginangatngat ako ng insecurity. i will be devastated if it gets rejected.
it’s a script-type novel. i’m converting it now to a book-type novel. it’s scary.

Wow. Found your blog through GTM.
Awesome. Ang cute nya. Wah. I wish I could write fiction just like that. Hirap gumawa ng Filipino fiction. Naguguluhan ako sa sinusulat ko e. XDDDD Ang gandaaaaaa. *A*
Posted by nobe on September 18, 2009 at 7:58 am
GTM? wow. fan ako ng may-ari ng blog. si deejay. grabe ang imagination ng taong yun. lol
Posted by nobe on September 18, 2009 at 8:00 am
nagsusulat ako nito kasi feeling ko, filipino is an underestimated language. mahirap magsulat in filipino. pero kapag na master mo siya ang galing! yung nga lang, i’m not even half way there.
