Having a coke with you
is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy...

1.1 For my friends
Dear baby curl, you took me by the head and hammered sense into it when I was in a dark patch earlier this year. Oblivious as I was at that time, aligned with our countless Katipunan rendezvous was a junction in my life where things began to take an entirely different course, leading me to where I am now. We would walk down the entire strip and carry on with a good, honest conversation, and you...

Tales of forgetting and remembering Nights spent under the moonlit sky An almost empty park Transitory souls There is a beautiful soul, too, beneath the veil A soulful musician, beyond the comical facade The boy who joined the army Streets lined with anonymity Everything is just passing through.
Thank you to the higher forces for making this high possible.
