Stopover at the land of "Aswang"

I was really very excited. On the way to Boracay, we had a stop over at Capiz. We ate our lunch there. This is my first time to travel to this place.

With all the stories I have heard about the place, I couldn't help it but wander what is in this place.

Maybe this is the reason why I ordered chicken. Just to be sure... hehehe

Lost pet

When I went home from work, I found out that Pucca was missing. This cat is very important to me because she had the same markings as Aurora (my pet that went missing a year ago). We tried to look for her inside the house. I also asked neighbors if they saw her. She couldn't be found anywhere. I feared that she will become another Aurora.

I was more worried about Pucca than Aurora. It is because Aurora knows the in and out of the house. While Pucca stayed only inside the house. So I was worried that she might not know the way back inside the house.

I slept with a heavy heart. It is because a night before her disappearance, she went inside my room and slept there. Since Tigger (my cat room mate) doesn't mind it, I let her slept in.

During lunch time of the following day, I went home from work just to check if she is already home. But she wasn't.

When I went home during the night, my parents found her just in the kitchen.

I was very happy.

Some people might not understand why I am very emotionally attached with my pet. This is because I grew up with them as my real friends. They are fun to be around. They are always faithful to me.

Save the Earth

As civilization grew and new technology rose, our environment laid as victim of greed and power. Man had put himself in a situation wherein he has to choose if he would continue to develop his own prowess or preserve what was his...

Rise of the "Engkanto"

There were people who kept on asking me, "Why Rene Engkanto?" Did I go back to my magical workings?

The answer is NO.

This question came up because I changed my name in facebook from Rene Espinosa to Rene Engkanto. This is because when I search for the name Rene Espinosa, there were many people who are using the name. So I decided, I would change it to Rene Engkanto...

The name itself is not a magical name. It is more of an alias. I am fond of using the term "Engkanto" to associate myself with the spirits of nature.

I am a nature lover. Although, I am fond of having plants, I am most fond of animals. They are my constant companions. (In fact, TIGGER is looking at me so intently last night. "Ano kayang iniisip niya?")

It doesn't mean that I am using the name Rene Engkanto, "bumalik na naman ako sa pangkukulam..." How can I do so if all of my tools were either burned or given to other people?" I already made a choice in my life. And I have to stand by that choice...

Many people may not believe me... but when was the time that I listened to what other people believed? All that matters is "I believe in myself."

Malisyosong Diwa at Matalas na Dila

1
May mensahe ako para sa lahat
Nawa'y pakinggan yaring ulat
Isinulat upang kaisipa'y mamulat
Tatamaan ang taong may sugat

2
Habang naglalakad ay may nasasalubong
Mga taong wari'y nakatalukbong
Malaya bang makikita bawat katangian?
Aking ipamahagi ang kanilang katauhan

3
Aking nakilala ang magandang dalaga
Mukha'y maamo at kaaya-aya
Ganda ng boses ay nasa bawat salita
Ngunit puso'y may nakatagong taga

4
Talino'y dakila at di mapantayan
Mula sa paaralan ang angking karunungan
Ipinagmamalaki taglay na kakayahan
Sa larangan ng musika, talento'y di mapantayan

5
Ngunit ano itong aking napuna
Maganda man ang rosa'y may tinik pala
Pumupuna ng kamalian ng iba
Kapag may nadapa ay sa kanya ang tawa

6
Madasaling birhen ang panglabas na anyo
Ngunit kasamaan ang nakaukit sa puso
Aanhin ang ganda at boses ng tao
Kung patalikod ang kanyang estilo

I'm still alive!

It had been 4 months and 15 days since I quit from my old job... those days were enough time for me to reflect on things that are necessary in my life. Now, I am back to my old job. It is really satisfying and enriching.

Long Solitary Confinement

My apologies for those who are keeping track of my blog. It had been awhile since I published something new.

My current situation is a bit complicated as it was before. Complicated to explain, yet quite simple to live. Anyway complications are somethings directly proportional to the person's point of view.

Please feel free to explore on my past entries. I will be updating something new soon.

Blessings to all.
