adventure lost…yet recovered!

Your little author is currently working on several projects:  200 articles for the last quarter of the year, a batch of write-ups for Digimedia, web promotion, new blogs, and an ongoing immersion on adventure books and films.

When I was a kid, I had been inspired by “The Neverending Story” (only the first part) to write my own adventure book. I was only nine! I typed the book chapter by chapter according to where my adventure took me. I glued the pages together — boy was I proud to flip through my very own book! Sadly, I left all my notebooks and drafts back home in Manila where I hope my family kept them throughout all these years. Those are crazy stuff. I swear I never thought of publishing any of my juvenile works. But then again, I could use those as inspiration to relive the adventurous stories I’ve always dreamed of writing.

Now, at twenty-seven, I’m getting the psychological urge to explore what could be. I would consider it even if there is a ton of ideas and activities to do.  Writers, just like surfers,  need to take advantage of the big swell of  sea wave to get the most thrill of something they love to do.  I shouldn’t be any different.

Cirque du Soleil’s KA

If not the Red Rock cosmic bowling or the Filipino sisig at Salo-Salo up on the north side of the Strip, watching Cirque du Soleil’s KA at the MGM Grand is probably the best part of our summer trip in Las Vegas. KA is an interactive, electrifying, and incredibly talented show. Beware if you’re sitting by the front row seats or the side of the theater. When the crazy tribe comes around stomping, you might just be jolted by one of them!
