Looking through some old photographs



I'm still in the process of mourning for the lost of my familiars... I am browsing through my files. And I came across some of the photo shoots I had in Manila before I went back here.

This is my photo shoot in Legend Villas. My gratitude to Mr. Philip Tan for the photo shoot.

Death and Confusion


Aurora had been missing for 3 days...

Aurora was my familiar... When Red died, she was my constant companion. When I went home to work,she's usually standing at the door... waiting for me because it is her time to enter the room. I had somepeaceful sleep when she's at my side. Sometimes she's a bit annoying. But most of the time sheis very caring... She's always begging for food.
A few nights before she disappeared, she was sick. She's a bit lonely and a bit insecure. That was the time when she slept at my dresser. She doesn't want to be bothered. I took care of her. But there's not much I could do...

Then three days ago, I couldn't find her anywhere. I admit that I had some busy schedules. I was alwaysat work. There was also a night when I slept at school... I looked for her. I patroled our neighborhood, hoping that I would find her. But she's gone...
One day, a thought dawned on me. She's really dead. I mourned. I lighted a white candle to bid herfarewell. I also prayed that she will finally find her rest and peace in the presence of our creator...
My mourning was short, as I was presented with a new familiar.
Her name is Dolly. She had the same color as Aurora. However, her eyes are not normal. I loved herbecause she's very affectionate. I could stroke her fur. Then she slept at my lap. She's the kitten of Thacky, the mother of Aurora. I realized that I had moved on to the next familiar. Things could be better now that I have a new guide.
One day, I found her dead. She was bitten by our dog. She's just a month old. I felt so much pain. It was nothing like I felt before. I grabbed the badminton racket. I beat the hell out of our dog. Then I realizedthat I couldn't hit him further because the racket was broken into pieces.
I went to my room. I grabbed the bottle of beer (grande). I drank all of it at once. I had to find some wayto calm myself. I was screaming at the top of my lungs. I am trying to control my anger. I must not goout of the room, as I might kill anybody in my way.
To divert my attention, I grabbed a joke book and started reading. Then the emotions subside.
Until now, I could still feel the pain. I could still pain in losing 2 familiars in just a week.
Reflecting on it, I couldn't comprehend the message handed down to me... Why is this happening to me?Where am I being lead to?
Will I be able to gain another familiar? Or I am bound to traverse the magickal road alone?

The death of Mysticlake


It is the end of the line for Mysticlake. This is the side of me who is magickal and beyond ordinary. This is the personality in the midst of contradictions. This is the lonely soul that is traversing the thin line between worlds.
Now, it's time to bid goodbye to an old self... to give way to the new self.


Just like a phoenix rising from the ashes...
I bid goodbye to my "pig tail". The school asked me if I can cut it. Actually, I did mentioned it to them that I am open if they wanted it cut. But they opted to let me keep it for some time. But now, it is high time to cut it... And now, it is time to grow up and take on a new look.
How do I look now?
Keep posted, you will find out.
