The Beat of my DrumThe Beat of my DrumThis is a personal blog site. I named it The Beat of My Drum because I have chosen to march to the beat of my own drum and to nobody else's. I write about my beliefs, thoughts, and whatever goes on in my life. My ideas are, I guess, a little differen Articles
En La Familia
2007-09-24 13:48:00 I miss blogging. If you’re a regular reader, you might have noticed that last week, The Beat of my Drum was inaccessible. My account was suspended because of the Payperpost links I’ve posted here. As it turns out, Wordpress does not endorse Payperpost. I had to take out all the Payperpost links. I have ...

I haven?t forgotten my blog!
2007-09-17 04:06:00 I haven’t forgotten this site! No way! This is my baby! It’s just that I have had to run some errands the past days, plan what the hell I’m gonna do now that I’m a licensed professional. Also, I couldn’t think of anything to write about, no topic came to mind, so I decided ... More About: Humor , Life , Random , Blog , Forgotten
Judgment Day/The Unsaved
2007-09-12 01:28:00 I’ve broken every vow I gave To those whose souls I cannot save To those who’ve earned, in retrospect, Not one ounce of life’s respect To manifest one’s innocence One must appear to have some sense Of what is right and what is wrong And what it takes to stand so strong Or else the judge of circumstance Will deprive one of the chance To ...

The Lover of the Seraphim
2007-09-10 23:11:00 I kissed one of the seraphim And now I sing this ode to him Though I forget his mighty name To me, you see, they’re all the same All angels are the same to me They love me wild and set me free But this one seraph stole my heart He’s well-schooled in seductive art He flew me to Mt. ...

The darnedest thing!
2007-09-10 23:08:00 My friend, cynic extraordinaire, the antithesis of the hopeless romantic, a bona fide player, beats every man at every game…is getting married! Oh, shit! The apocalypse could be just around the corner! You might say I’m overreacting, but you don’t know this girl. She has been a cynic since she was a teenager. This ...

My Finest Hour
2007-09-10 02:35:00 Right before the final emptiness engulfed me, right before the last shard of glass winked at me in hues of blue and purple, I saw my killer’s face. It was a rather nondescript face, but each feature stood out in my consciousness. They say that near the end, scenes from your life will flash before ...

Assume this position in bed
2007-09-10 02:18:00 It was a command, not a request My heart galloped in anticipation It was a cold night, I shivered to the bones The bed beckoned. Go on, walk towards it. I lay on Egyptian cotton, tilted my head sideways The raven head creating the starkest of contrasts Placed a finger on made-up lips of ruby red Spread my legs as wide as ...

God?s supplication
2007-09-07 03:37:00 Three knocks. The sound of shuffling feet. A whisper that sounded like the wind asking for permission to pass through. Raven. I opened the door to find a man in an Armani suit and a pair of loafers custom made for him by the local cobbler. Oh, him. I was expecting the suit, but the ...

Deliverance
2007-09-06 07:59:00 It’s sexy and alludes to the forbidden, but it’s artistically done. To answer the question that’s probably on some of your minds, no, I’m not the girl in the picture. But I have her permission to post it here. She’s quite proud of this artwork. Neither is this one of the pictures I was referring ... More About: Beauty , Random , Observations , The Game , Liver
Back to Basics
2007-09-05 03:02:00 I was at Nomads this weekend. If you have read my earlier/earliest entries, then you know that I’m talking about my favorite sports club. I was supposed to go on vacation this weekend, didn’t get to book a ticket because I waited too long, so I decided to work on my fitness and my friend’s ...

Michael and Catherine - Wordplay
2007-09-05 02:10:00 “I think I have a crush on you,” She said this a trifle shamelessly With a twinkle in her feline eyes He looked at her two seconds longer Than comfort and mercy would allow Thought twice about putting into Words the floating shapes in his mind Yet with a impish grin arising from Boredom, impatience, ire, and bliss Decided to go for it anyway ...

Send me the pictures - A Poem
2007-09-01 02:10:00 Send me the pictures He whispered across miles Of you, of hands, of skin and lips Of crumpled sheets, of tousled hair Of eyes shut tight, of glistening sweat Of you and me, of me and you In compromising situations And variations of assumed positions Send me just one of them If you would be so kind And I’ll send you a verse From ...

Thank you!
2007-08-30 15:17:00 I have been wanting to say a big Thank you! to whomever or whatever. If there is indeed a supernatural force out there that controls creation, then, I guess I want to thank he or she or it for deeming me worthy of the blessings I am receiving in my life.

What are you worth? Are you even worth anything at all?
2007-08-30 15:11:00 “What will you do when the thing that defines who you are is taken away from you?” A peer recently asked that question. She was referring to the board exams that we took in June. I don’t agree that this achievement defines who she is. At least, it shouldn’t. I used to think that ... More About: Philosophy , Life , Musings , Observations , Worth

2007-08-25 08:31:00 I’m happy because I’ll see my baby cousin again. Yay! She’s the one riding that horse in the picture on my header and the one in the middle in the picture to the right.

Want to be a shampoo commercial model?
2007-08-24 06:00:00 Well, I guess you’ll need an agent first. And of course, you’ve got to have The Face. So maybe I had better rephrase my question. Do you want to have hair as soft and shiny as that of a commercial model’s? I have the solution. At least, it works for my hair. Presenting… Drumroll, please… …Baking soda! ...

2007-08-22 05:28:00 So how does the night end when two crazy girls who are addicted to the camera have drunk much more than enough bottles of SMB than they should have? Well, here’s a scenario. It’s 2 in the morning, the crazy girls have parked on some obscure street in BF’s city, and they have taken out ... More About: Humor , Friendship , Random
2 Thumbs Up
2007-08-21 04:19:00 I don’t like most Filipino movies, at least not the ones they’ve shown in recent years. The quality of Filipino movies has seriously deteriorated. I don’t know if it’s because there aren’t a lot of good directors anymore, or if it’s because the new breed of actors is just made up of pretty faces ...

Impetus
2007-08-20 19:24:00 It’s like making love all by yourself while you’re suspended in midair. When you land, it could be on a tiny, tiny square you’re compressed into, or it could be on a stage big enough for a Broadway play, with you oblivious to the bodies and the breathing and the movement and even the ...

The goddamn skies, my patron saint, Grisham, and social networking sites
2007-08-17 17:40:00 Those darn cats and dogs are once again raining on my parade. I thought they’d eventually stop their bickering and have the decency to leave this country in peace so I could go out tonight. No such luck. If anything, they’re even more aggressive now.

That cool dude Quentin
2007-08-17 17:20:00 I have to rave about Quentin Tarantino. I’ve always known that guy was cool, but I didn’t know he was this cool. He came to the Philippines to attend the Cinemanila International Film Festival.

I am the keeper of a happiness that is relentless and shamelessly free
2007-08-13 10:46:00 The tandem of pain and sorrow is overrated. Life is always being defined by this tandem. We are taught to learn to cope with it. We are in great fear of it, and we avoid it at all costs. A friend describes herself as the master of masters at handling pain, displaying the description ...
