Gosh! so busy for the past few months, but don’t worry i’ll be posting soon some of the works of the group here, maybe in a few days. 

and i have to do some lay-out changes, and i’d like to relaunch this blog in the future because i’ll be welcoming more members. 

bye for now!

guys! ngau ko copy sa inung poems beh!

weee….. ako pud!

naa man! ako hehehee

ayoo naa tao?

hoo

hi peeps!

The whole maddesk authors are already busy in the first week of the semester?  I just couldn’t believe it.  Well, they are in their third year now, no wonder.

I was told off by Diana that her birthday was on June 7, and not June 6, as what I wrote the last time.  My mistake dude.  Like you said, I’m having amnesia now. Hey, I do know that her birthday was on June 7!

Shyne’s just told me that she’s over MCSG, (see about page for details) but I just couldn’t help but notice that she’s still giggly over the guy, especially now that … oops, sorry, I’m such a conspirator gossip, that was close.

And Kring told me that there were only 9 first year BA English Creative Writing students, and what’s interesting is that they are taking the same subjects as the second years’ now.  Hmmm… cool.

And the rest of the gang – just the same as ever. They are currently taking five major subjects.  Totally major eh?

And finally, I want to share with you something that I read by Phillip McGraw (you know, that professional psychologist) in his book Life Strategies:

You don’t have to stick your hand in your blender to know that it is not the best idea to put hands in blenders.

Right Dr. Phil.

Got to go now.

Hey guys, I’m back. I hope you have read my previous post way back (a looong time ago…) but anyway let me remind you that this weblog is the online collaborative journal of some students in their first creative writing class. Here, all the revised editions of their creative works are published.

I haven’t updated this blog over the summer, though I checked it time to time. The students who are involved here are now in their third year (*cheers) and one of them said that this year would definitely be a tough year since they would be introduced to the concentration courses like poetry, fiction, playwriting, children’s literature, etc., for the first time. Since this blog is intended as a project of the CW101 course (Introduction to Creative Writing) which they had already taken in their second year, then my job as the site administrator is over. Oh, this really makes me sad. So are we dropping this?

No, not just yet. Now, I have to voice out my suggestion to them. As the official blogmaster of this site, my task is to post their works when they say so. The blog authors here are really good people (nah, I really mean it!) and we are all still deciding whether to post more of their works in the future. I really hope they’d do, because I don’t want to lose my job. *snickers. Besides, I don’t want to put this blog into some serious hiatus.

Also, Maddesk is also planning to expand the group. Whether for more contributors and editors, we are always open for any help. It’s always cool this way à (email: aprilfabula@gmail.com) or send the site administrator a message somewhere here.

I would also like to greet a happy birthday to one of the Maddesk blog authors – Henrietta Diana de Guzman. She’s turning 19 today June 6. She wrote Webbed Beauty, Beyond Her Rubrics Cube and Ginisang Gulay, Ang Pangaral ni Juan Tamad kay Ambisyosong Kasoy, A Helium Inside Papa’s Balloon, and Tainted Mind here in this blog. Happy Birthday!

Please visit the other CW101 blog from the same class, Purple Pad. The creative works posted in there were written by the students of creative writing of the same class. We’re separated in two groups, that’s why, so the people involved in the Purple Pad are the classmates/batchmates of the blog authors here in Maddesk.

The school term is fast approaching, I wish ya all the best on the first day of class. Nah, don’t skip class okay?

See ya!

Three days before Christmas, father brought my brothers and I along with him to the department store. He needed to buy something for their party. I went along with my brothers to the toy section. We were awed to see the plenty displays. there were many things on the shelves.

Father came back and saw us overjoyed with all the toys. He told us to pick the toy we wanted. I was very happy then for I had my eyes on a doctor’s toy kit. It very unlikely that father would allow us to choose for ourselves. We would find toys in the house and we would fight over it. He then tells us that we should share everything that we own with each other.

I had my doctor’s toy kit as for my brothers they had their toy guns. I was very happy then.

Now that I am in college, I reminisce the time when I was allowed to choose for myself. I think of being responsible for my actions and I try my best to show my father that I can stand on my own now. and I recalled how he told me with a smile, ”I know you can.”

I never got to fulfill what I said at my kindergarten graduation: that I want to be come a doctor. But I am happy with the memory that I once had a dream which I knew that would make father happy. Then time came that I had to fulfill my own.
