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.

Don't mess with this clown

It's Halloween once again. Last year, I surprised everyone as the Grim Reaper. The children were very frightened. This is the reason why everyone is waiting for my costume this year.

At first, I was not in my costume. This is because I did the bonfire ceremony. I danced with the students prior to the lighting of the bonfire.

When the dance was over, I hurried to put on some make up and a clown hat. Everyone was surprised to see me this way. They thought that I could be ver frightening this year. But I thought, I should be somebody different... The Killer Clown.

Marguez Hot Spring: Tracing footprints

Before I went to Manila to join Nginiiig Paranormal Investigation, I used to come here every year. It had been a routine for me... to bathe in the Hot Spring... to do some community service on the Manobo community just a few kilometers from the Hot Spring.


After 3 years, I am tracing back old memories of the place. How much I missed coming here. And now, my co teachers came with me. It is really sweet to reminisce the past, and share it with people who are close to you.










The Marguez Hot and Cold Spring is in the Municipality of Esperanza. From the capital town of Isulan, Sultan Kudarat. You can reach Esperanza through riding a jeepney. The 13 kilometer ride would only cost around Php 17.00 to Php 18.00. In the poblacion area of Esperanza, you can reach Marguez through a "Skylab" (a motorcycle used in the mountains). The ride will cost around Php 30.00. The driver will take you straight to the spring. Then you can enjoy the relaxing hot water of the hot pool, or cool yourself up in the cold pool. With just a minimum amount, you can enjoy the serenity of life and the richness of nature.

The unexpected twist

Lately, I needed some time to think things through. There are things that seem to bother me. It bothered me to the extent that even if I drink myself to death, I can't seem to fall asleep easily. It really bothers me that even my dreams are haunted by those ideas.
May the Light of Bathala be upon me as I traverse this ordeal.
