After weeks of separation, my laptop and I are now happily reunited. It crashed around December so I sent it to e-Base (which has the nicest and most technically adept staff) and they replaced the damaged 120gb hard drive with a more spacious 160gb disk.
Also added 1gHz of RAM, so my formerly Jurassic laptop now runs much faster.
I lost many files - around 50gb worth, mostly movies downloaded from Limewire and converted from DVDs - but that's easily remedied. What's more important is that it's now back in action and I can go back to my normal life.
Maybe I will even get to post the long overdue pictures of Singapore and the two Bohol trips from last year, plus Christmas and New Year and our new house in Bulacan.
Ugh! Finally.
The Chronicler's Creed
Where there's water and sun, where there are friends to see or new people to meet, where there's something new to learn, experience, or do, where there's life, there I will be.
LA POESÍA
Y fue a esa edad... Llegó la poesía
a buscarme. No sé, no sé de dónde
salió, de invierno o río.
No sé cómo ni cuándo,
no, no eran voces, no eran
palabras, ni silencio,
pero desde una calle me llamaba,
desde las ramas de la noche,
de pronto entre los otros,
entre fuegos violentos
o regresando solo,
allí estaba sin rostro
y me tocaba.
And it was at that age... Poetry arrived
in search of me. I do not know, I do not know where
it came from, from winter or a river.
I do not know how or when,
no, they were not voices, they were not
words, nor silence,
but from a street I was summoned,
from the branches of night,
abruptly from the others,
among violent fires
or returning alone,
there I was without a face
and it touched me.
