AsiaPOP Comicon Manila 2015: My First Comicon Experience

For the first time ever, Manila hosted one of Asia’s biggest pop conventions, AsiaPOP Comicon (APCC). Geeks, cosplayers, artists, collectors, gamers, and otakus gathered together for this three-day event. It was held at World Trade Center, Pasay City on September 18 – 20.

Coin Flip Rage

I’m in the business of misery,

You can’t make the art of destroying me,

I’m the impossible possibility,

I chained my mind but I’m still free.

I’ll fuck the world and conquer you, turds,

Give me your lunch money, you fucking nerds,

Spit this, spit that, and then fall to my words,

Rocking on the mic; you’ll be choking on the cords.

Hum Me a Requiem

Tell them I am sorry,

Tell them I’ll be alright,

Tell them I’m gonna be happy,

I’m sleeping my final night.

I’ll be walking my forever,

It may be cold, may be dark,

But when my world comes crashing down,

I’ll be taking a part of your heart.

Memories should Satisfy

We’ll speak for this when you are done,

This system that we cannot run,

The broken words, the broken lies,

Your memories should satisfy.

The hourglass ran out of sand,

Pour some powder from the sun,

Make a wish from a falling star,

Like the star you’ll fall so far.

File a regret at the end of the line,

You’ll crave for more when you’ve lost the sign,

Our memories should satisfy,

But we haven’t live by the time we die.

The Lust of Us

I hate when their eyes are on you,

Hungry, like you’re a fucking fondue,

I’m mad; I’m terror,

But they are fucked up horror.

You’re the beauty, we’re the beast,

But I can’t believe you have to worry about me the least,

The thoughts, they’re all sick,

The voices, disturbing music.

Hollywood Dream

“Dream big kid!” that’s what they used to tell me,

Now I’m dreaming for every one of you to see,

To be a star, brighter than the one on the sky,

And be remembered, even after I die.

I will be a famous movie star,

You’ll see me in cinemas, driving a fast car,

Like Vin Diesel and Paul Walker,

Then I’ll go like Statham and shoot with a revolver.

An Oath to Fall

Hearing your name in the dark alley,

You’ll shiver in fear but smile proudly,

What’s going on? The smell of oblivion,

Wait until epiphany strikes you like a hot iron.

Father time would be the one most disappointed

Even after seeing your name in an article we’ve just read,

Big news, big as it can ever be,

Disappointment is what we’ll only see.

My First Job

Encoder / Course Developer

It has been two months since I started working my first job. I’m currently an encoder / course developer at Consolidated Training Systems, Incorporated, an offshore and maritime training institute. This company is responsible for training seamen and offshore workers on different courses including Basic Safety Courses, Tanker Courses, Maritime Courses, etc. But honestly, I’m still not into my work.
