i have a new friend.. meet.. uh, Smiley. --> ü

55 word fiction.
i was browsing around when i found macy's site a few months ago. I was impressed by her work that i found myself hoping i could make my own 55 word fiction too. It was only recently that i got to see this site from where she got her inspiration. They're amazing. Now i'm even more inspired. Go check them out.ü

Anyway, this is one of my favorites.ü

rude interruption.
I began writing my 55 Fiction story when suddenly a loud humming arose outside. I opened the door to find–a space ship!

Four tiny creatures emerged. I invited them in for tea. I told them my story idea. They said it was boring and that I should write about them instead, so I did.

nice eh? i love stories with aliens in them! i feel home. (uh, did i just say home?)anyway, now.. here's my very own, first ever 55 word fiction!! juice it out. ta-da!ü

count dracula.
It was way past four in the morning. She still couldn't sleep. She remembered that Sesame Street episode where Count Dracula counted sheep. She thought, i should try that too.

One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Thirteen...

She counted till the break of dawn, but she still couldnt sleep.

haha, i am such a cheater. ok, ok, that's lame, counting up all the remaining number of words left, hehe. i know, i know. i'll try to come up with a good one next time.ü

of Paskuhans and epitaphs. (uh, konek?)
i was at UST's Paskuhan yesterday night. To tell the truth, there was nothing really grand about it, except that we got to see the great brokensaint again (yeaahh!); my HS friend, anna; and my SVmate, ma'am cathy. Plus, i got to spend the night with my friends again, which has always been fun naman.ü I wasn't really planning to go.. but i'm glad i did. Last year, i blogged something about the Paskuhan too. Amazing how time flies by.

Uh.. there. That's it.

Well, that's not ALL of it of course. I mean, don't you find it weird how everything can be summed up in one or two paragraphs, when what actually happened is so much more than that? In the same way, when you tell someone about a person, though there are so much to say about her/him, you end up stating just about two sentences. The person you're talking to, then, gets only a vague picture of who you're talking about. One word: Unjustified. Pictures don't usually justify how a person actually looks. And so are words. Most of the time, they are not enough.

Which makes me think.. i wonder what people say of me when someone happened to mention my name out of the blue. or what my friends say of me when i'm not around. not that i care too much about how people see me. it's just that, eventually, when i die, i would want that people would remember me uh, somewhat, nicely. (there goes the lack of words again, hehe). but aryt, more than that, our lives here on earth will just be a mere one to two paragraph introduction to the real thing called eternity. (all my 20 years on earth in two paragraphs. whoa.) i wonder how my introduction would be like. of course if you're reading Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life, you know very well where my inspiration is coming from. hehe.ü

Anyway, i wont squeeze my brain anymore for words. C.S. Lewis (in his "Chronicles of Narnia") has already given quite a beautiful composition on this.

"For us, this is the end of all stories. But for them, it was only the beginning of the real story. All of their life in this world had only been the cover and title page: now at least they're beginning Chapter One of the Great Story, which no one on earth has read, which goes on forever, and in which every chapter is better than the one before.."

Uh, it wasn't a one to two paragraph introduction pala. just the cover and title page. Hehe.ü Parang epitaph. Man, i do pray that someday, my life will be worth looking back to. and that my cover and title page will be worth reading as well.

As for now, I haven't thought of what my epitaph would be like. But at least I've decided what kind of flowers I'd want people to throw in on my coffin: White daisies. yupyup.ü

i'm obviously dreaming already. yaaaawn.
