Where Veronica Montes preens her feathers and waits for inspiration. Tuesday, June 05, 2012. If you don't mind, I'm just going to ignore the fact that I've been absent from this space for.oh, a very long time. Why is that silly girl chasing Risa! She will NEVER catch her:. Why would anyone hit a grounder directly to Vida? Vida will scoop it up, whip it to first base, and even though the batter will run with all her might, she will be OUT. So out:.

Where Veronica Montes preens her feathers and waits for inspiration. Monday, March 24, 2014. A beautiful one-stop spot for all things good and beautiful and painful and crafted. Anyways, I was having a hard time getting started. I couldn't organize my thoughts; it's like they wouldn't sit still long enough for me to take a picture. Two things happened to get my head in the right place:. Oh my god. Who knows? So thank you, random masseuse. Thank you for bringing me back into my body. Don't Call Me Paqui.

A few days after I wrote my last post here—months and months ago—my father died. It's impossible for me to write about him right now (believe me, I've tried) but it's also impossible for me to continue writing in this space until I acknowledge, here, that he is no longer walking the world, upsetting proverbial apple carts and looking for ways to get in trouble.

Where Veronica Montes preens her feathers and waits for inspiration. Tuesday, May 13, 2014. When You Read a Gross Story and It Ruins Your Whole Day. I ordered my lunch at the counter (Joe's Special with toasted sourdough bread, though I would have much preferred rice), then sat down to enjoy a few moments of reading. Reading and lunch! What could be better? Alas, my bliss was not meant to be. Because.I'm currently reading and appreciating Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun. But I wasn't dazzled. That w...

Where Veronica Montes preens her feathers and waits for inspiration. Monday, February 04, 2013. I Should Not Be Saying Any of This. This is so not nice of me. This is so crossing-the-line of me. Because it's one thing to blog about your nutso kids when they're 3- or 4- or 5- or.10-years-old, but to blog about them when they're 13-years-old is unforgivable. Truly. Here's a list of things currently twisting me into a knot about my teenage girls:. They make duck lips so they don't look dumb. And here's some...

Where Veronica Montes preens her feathers and waits for inspiration. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Find Me on Medium, Okay? Times, they are a-changing. I'll be writing on Medium, so will you come find me? BECAUSE OMG IT'S SCARY BEING THE NEW KID IN CLASS. My first post went up yesterday, and a little jolt ran up my spine:. Wait: Old People Do Things? Let's see how this goes.

Where Veronica Montes preens her feathers and waits for inspiration. Sunday, July 22, 2012. That Time I Went to Salinas. I spent last Saturday in Salinas for "A Conversation of Filipino Writers: Past and Present," an event organized by the now-legendary writer and local educator Oscar Penñaranda (so dapper in his barong Tagalog! From the San Francisco Chronicle. Many good folks, including the wonderful Jean Vengua. Put a ton of work into this project and it shows and shows and shows. I felt a little weir...

Where Veronica Montes preens her feathers and waits for inspiration. Tuesday, March 27, 2012. The Post In Which I Describe My Bummer of a Dream. I'm in the madly spinning vortex of life change. Also, I appear to be a fan of hyperbole. But if you've been with me this long, you already knew that. And then I woke up, as noted, weeping and attempting to recount the dream to my spousal unit (I'm sure I was fairly incoherent). I am not one to invest an inordinate amount of time deciphering dreams, but this...

Where Veronica Montes preens her feathers and waits for inspiration. Sunday, February 05, 2012. At the Dialysis Center. At 9:30, I go back to pick him up. The majority of dialysis technicians at the center are Filipino, and they are unfailingly pleasant and efficient. They call my dad "Tatay" or just "Tay," and they tug his ponytail and say, "You're so Jeproks. They tell him to "listen to your daughter," which cracks both of us up. So many stories. Maybe I'll tell them one day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
