5 centimeters per second + little rant

I just finished watching this animated film and I must say, I loved it!
I would love to watch more of Makoto Shinkai's works.
Now that I've just finished it, I have nothing left to watch.


Man, still no good anime's out there.

SCHOOL RUMBLE SEASON 3, WHERE ARE YOU?!

...

Oh well.

And the latest School Rumble manga chapters are hinting an ending...
What a sad day it would be.

Obfuscation

I had a shot at obfuscation, and it's fun!

If you can figure out what programming language this is from, then good.
If you can figure out what this program does, then better!

CW10 Draft # 1

Hovering voices
dissolve in the heat
Chalk dust dance
like evening fairies
Only the ticking
and tocking persist
Along with whispers
from swaying trees

The lingering aroma
of dead pasture
Drags my senses
away from the teacher
People outside
are playing soccer
Once in a while
I wake up from their laughter

While I'm here stuck
and burning on my seat
Listening to the tick-tock
a lullaby beat

midnight crisis

eyes closing for a moment
brings me to a wide river
flocked by gray pigeons
gliding on the still surface
the midsummer sun
burns my skin as i
sit on a rock that looked like
a broken tv set
i could hear the cricket's song
and the ants' march
beneath the tall grass
they are so noisy
i taste the air
and it's dry
dry like the tranquil winds of the sandstorm
i breathe
and the smell overwhelms me
the scent of flowerless pasture
killed recently by the harsh sunlight

but a mosquito bites my neck
and i'm back in front of my monitor

i have a lot of work to do

Scribble

monotony
-Ulansigaw

The clock is ticking

ticking

as the voices and chalkdust dissolve
into nothingness.
The sun drying up the air
as the clock ticks
second after second
each passing like a game of golf
that I watched, eyes half-closed
in the gray of summer,
or like a moment in a jeepney
filled to the brim
while the driver waits for another to come in.

Still the clock ticks

ticking

ticking

So I scribble
scratching my pen on the paper,
connecting dots and dashes
each curve making a screeching sound;
a sound of solace.

But the clock still ticks
pulling my sight into void.
The clock ticks and ticks
lullabying

me

to

sleep.

---A scribble in my creative writing class. Still a rough draft though.
