I’m One of the muses, A common wood nymph roaming around Parnassus, Happy with my little sweet pea. With her delicate, fragrant flowers Carried on long, slim stalks, She captivated me. I ran to her flaming with desire. I am flaming. Burning Blazing with desire. Too hot for my sweet pea. Because she’s so delicate, So delicate for me. As I touch her, she transformed into ashes. I burnt her. And out of a haze, you were formed. Like smoke given out by fire. A fireweed that sprang up in the burnt over area. A replacement, I thought. You quenched my thirst. Suffuse my hunger. My desire. I came to you for a crown And you gave me a kingdom. You made me eat on a golden plate And drink from your cup of diamonds. But like a common pitcher plant, Cut your base open And there you’ll find my body’s remains trapped inside. A pitfall in the middle of the forest. I will name you Venus? The goddess with a seducing brilliant red trap. Open to all beings that needs nurturing. Show your bosom and all will crave for your milk. From a butterfly, you turned me to an ant. When I brushed only slightly against your skin, You closed within an instant. Rigid spines on the margins of you blades interlock tightly. As soon as I was trapped, You digested me. Used me as a nutrient material. I know this is about to last for only a week. By the time your leaf reopens, You’ll be reedy for other sufferers. Trapped inside, I accepted my fate. Then there she came one spring day. My little delicate sweet pea. Now a spring beauty in full bloom. A low perennial herb. With narrow, succulent leaves And loose cluster of white and pink flowers. But your leaf has closed. I cannot escape.

TOXIC!!!!

Technically, yeah, that’s how I feel…


This February, I won’t be having any breaks. From Monday to Friday… I always wake up at 3 am and leave our house at 5. Then, I spent the entire day teaching noisy and mischievous high school students (which literally drained my energy and voice). I arrive at our house between 6 to 7 in the evening (the longest will be 8 if I was caught in a traffic jam).

Starting this coming Saturday, we will have our review for the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET review). It will start from 8 in the morning and will end at 5 in the afternoon. LET review was scheduled every Saturday and Sunday. So technically…. I DON’T HAVE A REST DAY!!!!

…………….
Cogi: “I don’t have any breaks this February… It’s toxic!!!”

Maki: “Congrats! We’re experiencing the same thing! But we still have time to fangirl and make fanfics.”

Cogi: “yeah that’s right!!!”
……………….

So even if I’m very tired or worn-out from the day’s work, if there’s an idea, I’ll still write. The updates will be slow that’s for sure, but it’s only until February 26.
