M.C. Tolfo - Storywriter

Ang buhay ay isang pagsusulat, tayo ang writer at ang obra ay ang ating sarili. May mga taong goal-oriented , yung mga tipong isusulat muna nila kung ano ang gusto nilang marating ng kuwento at saka ilalahad ng maayos ang buong katha. Kumbaga ay narito ang climax , ang pinakamasayang parte ng iyong buhay, ang happy ending na hindi naman talaga ending , ang sukdulan ng tensyon; at narito ka, sa ibaba, dahan-dahan at isa-isa mong inilalatag ang hagdan upang ang climax ay iyong maabot. Para kang pumapadyak sa accelerator hanggang sa tuluyang umandar ang sasakyan; para kang umaakyat sa bundok hanggang makarating sa tuktok. Mahirap ang mga pagdadaanan mo, pero in the end , sulit kasi pinagplanuhan mong maigi ang lahat. Pero minsan, sadyang may hindi umaayon sa plano mo. Punong-puno ng conflict . Biglang ganito, biglang ganyan; akala mo ganito, akala mo ganyan; tapos may susulpot na pasaway, sisirain ang lahat ng plano mo. Minsan darating sa buhay mo na tinatamad ka nang magsulat, na p...

Yes, I finally finished Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Though I originally planned to finish it within a week, it got delayed due to some unfortunate *cough* events, but I still finished it anyway. Though the game's ending (which in all it's fairness is a shocker, but I will not spoil it) never took me by surprise simply because I already watched the ending on Youtube.

Maybe it's my left side of the brain, or maybe I am just really curious, I still can't understand. One reason could be because I'm a schemer , like what good-'ol Joker once said. I plan things, I make decisions on things that yet to come, that's why I always make it a point to see how it will end early on, or to predict how one thing would happen. I have these strings in my mind, where I connect events and decisions in my lif...

I have a female friend during college. We were close, and we were always together. One day, she told me the story of her life, it was pretty sad. At first, I reacted negatively, I wondered  how she became so immature, stupid and careless. But then, I realize, aren't we all immature, stupid and careless at some point in our life? Isn't that the whole point of living? We commit mistakes because that's what we are, fragile, but on the other hand, we also have the ability to correct those mistakes and most of all, learn from them. This is her story. Ang Mabagal na Pagdaan ng Apat na Taon sa Aking Buhay Apat na taon na ang lumipas, ano na bang nagbago? Sa tuwing tumitingin ako sa salamin, tulad parin naman ng dati. Pumayat lang ng konti, tumangkad lang ng konti, pero tulad pa rin ng dati. Ako pa rin ito, ang babaeng minahal mo noon. Nag-mature lang siguro ng konti ang pananaw ko ngayon, pero dulot lang 'yon ng apat na taong mabagal na dumaan sa buhay ko. Apat na taon...
