the rebirth of snood (fun like dat)

downloading a demo version of snood, the unofficial game kuno of the pinoy times folks which they brought over from their manila times days and which i brought home with me and had the mabait street folks hooked on it as well. it's really addictive! i saw indi playing it in the isis office some weeks ago and it made me miss those days of playing it in the PT office as i wait for them to finally put the friggin' paper to bed and commence the friggin' weekly monday night meeting. also, when i brought that home, nek and i really played it to the max, as in tournament level, mama. alam mo naman yun, pati games kina-career. ;) we shared a copy to b and she got addicted to it as well. haha, those snood-addict days were fun.

but we called it snoods sa bahay. plural, pare.

blognote: can't believe the earlier entry had 30 views. what does that mean? then the previous one had around 55, i think. what does that mean? people like reading blogs a lot? as it turns out, when you click the link of sample blog sites at the home page of the blogsforwriters thang, it directs you to my blog. sample blog pala ako. i didn't know. hm, that's kinda nice, i think. shout out to shery. merci beaucoup for this again.

blognote2: this jot blog is beginning to look like a bin of vignettes, not the original nvmjotter i envisioned it to be. but i guess that's the way with writers and their works -- one shapes the other, taking turns in doing that, and sometimes the shapes are different from what you originally thought, and most times, the shapes turn out to be better ones. well, i's cool. i don't mind. as long as i'm writing. that's the most important thing. long live the word, sabi nga nila dun sa baguio workshop namin. keep the word alive, sabi rin nila. i thought they were all locos back then, shouting and writing things like that like language addicts or something. but it's only now that i am beginning to understand what they meant by that. it doesn't matter pala if the thoughts are highly unorganized or if you're swamped with work or whatever (remember when indi asked me kung nakakapagsulat pa ko ng fiction amidst the work thang and i said yes, apparently siya pala hindi na gaano these days, but i'm sure she'll pick it up again somehow. same with mayo, na nagreklamo dati na puro raket writing na lang ba kami at paano naman ang aming panitikan? well, i\'m sure he'll pick it up again as well). in the end (or in the middle, i guess, for if it ends, what's left to write about?) what matters is that there are thoughts still coming in, and you (or me, or us) having the energy to jot them all down. for posterity's sake? for literary's sake? (grammar police - tama ba yun??) basta whatever, as long as you are writing.

so long live the word. word. word. word.

we out.
