The Working Title

Malamig na hangin Madilim na kalangitan Manbigat na ulap BOOOOM! Bumagsak na ang laksang matatalim na ulan Ito ang aming kalaban. Lumalamig ang kapaligiran Makatindig balahibo Lumalagasgas na mga puno WOOOOSH... Ihip na haniging malakas Ng ulap na si Kulas Ito ang aming kalaban. Kakapa-kapa sa bulsa Lilinga-linga sa kapaligiran Nag-aalala sa kinasapitan Tok! Saktong mamera sa pitaka Nawala ng parang bula Ito ang aming kalaban.

Ngayong araw na ito, nag-iisip ako ng pwedeng isulat kaso walang pumasok sa isip ko. Kahit anong piga, wala. Lumipas ang mga oras at pagkain. Tanghalian, meryenda, siesta, wala pa rin, wala.

     Staring straightly on the monitor, tapping my fingers against the computer table, taking deep breaths and thinking, will I or will I not?      That's what i felt before putting up a blog account here in blogger.com. I am indeed and deeply intimidated because first on blogger.com. Blogger.com is largely and widely known for its excellent blog publishing service for professionals, amateurs and aspiring writer like me. I felt I'm no good for this. Second, the bloggers and their blog posts. Yes, I can write but not as good as them. They are seniors, I'm a kindergarten. (Sorry folks for the inferiority complex. Peace. May you not absorb it)      But this dark thoughts shattered in to the light of enlightenment when my boyfriend told me "Oo nga eh nakaka intimidate.
