a Night with Johnnie Walker


destiny seals prying tonight
This is the night of Johnnie Walker.
messily confesses the
liberation of warmth and union of frost.
sensing the consciousness
from faint to the strong
or from the strong to the fading
black labeled turned tornado
floating around the head with flying carpet pads
with slapping sounds
sometimes high
and sometimes low
Arms were beaded
Hands were feathered
And fingers tangled web
scaring off fear itself
away from being innocent
protrudes and bulges are
cumulous passion
and never will it fall
but floats around the soul’s corners
yield at the fragileness
of the faceless bottle
control the rhythm
of the liquor taking the fall
sway the trip lopsided
and create a beautiful nature
where earthquake is a friend
towards unwind
with the perfection dripping,
squirting faucet

gods amongst

Toric Minak. This I used as a pen name for some of my poems. Almost three years ago, my poems talk about compassion, honesty, and nature. For that as a computer major, I have to use another nameToric Minak. Toric is from my name Hector. Minak is from Minak Creek.


Almost 100 years ago, like a volcano’s mouth shut up by gods, lays a salivating creek in between cracks of nature. Minak Creek stays so stable until Americans found out that the creek is the perfect place to build a park. So it came to pass 100 years of mindful and mindless, some harmful, some egocentric, and some fanatic ideas put the creek into a cup. The cup filled with murky and brownish milo where artificial swans swim to and fro. Swans or swamp, whatever whichever you want to call it, some are flags, wooden flags –floating. Spirit-free people rowing.

Thanks to the genuine brilliance of Burnham x. god of the artificial.

Who would have thought that the “used to be salivating crack of nature” can turn into a man-made lake. The time when man overpowered the gods. They became gods of their ego.


Melvin Jones is one of the new god.
god of mud

The emerging god named mentos-fishball
god of lights







he decided to give light to those who want to have celphone loads and eat fishballs. But he can also decide not to give light for those who want to consume flesh. The RoseGarden is a perfect spot. A rose that blooms a lot.



Today there are lots of snakes with various length and size roaming the haven of the gods. Like hundred years ago, they are still within the definition of wilderness but with different concept –that is, according to a friend.

A Far-off Swim


alternative pipol



45 minutes away from Baguio is la Union. If you are tired of the hot spring that the coldest city offers, la Union is the most convenient place to go –that is if you refuse to go some distance.
Naguilian is the opening municipality of la Union from Baguio. Tricycle drivers greet you warmly after a bus stop at its municipal hall. With your 10 peso coin, you can actually choose from many resorts near the place.
Choosing atypical resort is a real rural experience. After more than ten murky pools from fields that a motorcycle will traverse, you will find yourself amidst an almost valley haven. An elegant house stands proudly amidst a rice field. Beside is an out-of-place sticker of a pool in a rice field. Got the picture? It’s a rice field actually with an exposed pool in a quiet valley.
While you dip yourself in the pool, you have the opportunity to gaze at the flying mayas and check some cattle enjoying the mud bath. Then swim like the ordinary resort, clean and safe, until you exhaust at the end of the day. The day is even made perfect by the gray sky -no sun to burn your skin, no rain to transform the pool to be icy cold. Just a perfect day you sleep at night smiling.

The Ant and the Processor



There is an ancient ant descending a stony hill. Since the ant is ancient, he is enormous compared to other ants. He can’t even communicate with the little ants’ modern antennae. He tries to adjust everytime he meets a new ant. All he learns is the different species, class, and colors of the modern ants. He failed to find the way where these ants came from. He continues descending the stony hill.

Until one time this ant came into halt and ponder. He imagines the world as a smooth stone. So he slides down the stony hill. Never did it come to his mind that he’s got exoskeleton to protect him from the edginess of the stony hill. He just let go and slide down the hill. He hopes he don’t end up in the river down the stony hill. While rolling and tumbling down, he remembered he is ancient. He should have thought different earlier. So immediately he imagines the world as rough and edgy. Then he stops rolling and tumbling down inches away from the clapping river. He recovers and approaches the river. Then he swims away from the stony hill.

Release

So this is the Blogster world. This is my third blog and I am hoping to settle here for long. This is a new release like a termite fly in a foggy evening under a lampshade off its wings.

Twowato is actually spelled tuwato. I changed tu to two because i am a self proclaimed mathematician. Two is the third number in the Fibonacci Series.

Tuwato is a Cordilleran translation for dragonfly. Dragonfly is the life line of the nature. A forest is completely balanced if there are dragonflies. I am a Naturalist.

Prophecy came from Jason Mraz's Curbside Prophecy, the slackiest blogger. Prophecy pertains to what a prophet do and i dont want to go further on that for my first post.

I welcome myself, more posts to come.
