My Traffic Life

I am Mae German. 34 years old. Born in Mangatarem, province of Pangasinan. I was taught and trained by Juan Dela Cruz, and I am currently being trained for more by Uncle Sam. Writing since the age of 12. Blogging since 2001. I keep a notebook and a pen in my bag, on my bedside table, and inside the bathroom. Misses a lot. Sometimes even my own voice. Loves to laugh. Sometimes even at myself. I am a work in progress. My ultimate dream is to be a SAHM. That is, if I am bound to have that chance in this lifetime... and I am.

My Traffic Rules

Don't take my words personally. At times, not even literally. This is my journal. You're my reader. My spectator. Applaud. Yawp. Yawn. Smile. Frown. Rave. Rant. Or not. Neither can I see you from where I am standing nor can I hear you.

This is not my life. Maybe just a part of it. But this is me meandering through life. My emotions fluctuate. My opinion varies. If it's too hot in here and you can't take it, leave. If it's dull and too cold, go somewhere else for warmth. I won't wipe the frown on your brow.

My stories, unless stated otherwise, are mostly fictional. Fiction could be based on reality. Still, they are fiction. Don't own it. Don't live in it. It is what it is. Leave it.

Watch out for the traffic light. Follow the rules. Cruise.

Hindi ko po kilala si lola at di kami nagkaroon ng pagkakataong magkakuwentuhan man lang. Isa pa naman sa mga gustong-gusto kong panoorin at kausapin ay ang mga matatanda. Nais kong marinig ang bawat kwento ng buhay nila.

Kuha ko ito gamit ang Nikon F80 na nahiram ko sa isang kaibigan minsang naglakad kami sa kahabaan ng Quiapo, Manila. Gumamit ako ng black-and-white film. Isa ito sa mga larawang paborito ko. Malamang ang iba sa inyo, nakita na ito. Isa din ito sa naging lahok ko sa Philippine Airlines (PAL) photo contest minsan.

Kumusta na kaya si lola?

I love the photo! Very mysterious - you really wonder what emotion she is feeling right now. Yet, the deep creases and hollows here and there tell us Lola's been through a lot. The photo really tells us more about her than any words she could possibly utter.
BTW, just wondering but when you submit a photo to such photo contests, don't you sign an IP release form? Or is that only if you win?
