Woe to the Writer

RJ Marmol — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 09:46:11 +0000

I was set to 'kill time' in school today. Made sure my journal was packed neatly in my bag. But lo and behold, as I was set to write, my lovely pen was nowhere in sight, thus the silly prose poetry. Tsk. Woe to the Writer by: RJ Woe to the writer who is caught without a pen, When [...]

Thoughts that keep me awake at night

RJ Marmol — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:06:18 +0000

Photo by BrittneyBush No Escape by: RJ There are thoughts that keep me awake at night And keep me absent-minded in the day -- Gliding on a golden field, endless heaps of hay Thoughts about what is and what was, But never of what could be. They haunt me of a past long gone and never will be, They nag me [...]

On my father’s wings

RJ Marmol — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 05:51:55 +0000

Alfonso T. Blanquera (August 2, 1936 - December 22, 2003) In Memoriam About the same time, six years ago today, I have watched my father let go of his last breath after five days in the intensive care unit -- 4 days of which he spent lying there comatose. It was his third stroke. The first was [...]

I Like Endings

RJ Marmol — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:55:59 +0000

Photo by alicepopkorn ( in and out ***** I Like Endings (by: RJ) I like endings. They're very kind. They wake you up from a dream And take you back to reality. They make you realize that some things Aren't meant to begin in the first place. While endings can't undo things that you screwed-up, [...]

I Disconnect

RJ Marmol — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:31:02 +0000

"Communication" For 27 years I've been trying to believe and confide in Different people I've found. Some of them got closer than others Some wouldn't even bother and then you came around I didn't really know what to call you, you didn't know me at all But I was happy to explain. I never really knew how to move you So I tried [...]

Apprehensively Yours

RJ Marmol — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 09:30:04 +0000

Hmmm. I think we can both agree -- yes, you and me -- that this blog has been out of the limelight for far too long (and by limelight, I don't mean the fabulous kind, blame it on my recent writing vacation, I used the word for lack of a better term). Anyway, for all those [...]

And I Love You So

RJ Marmol — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 07:39:46 +0000

I won't be writing much on this blog for quite some time for personal reasons. However, I will still write posts once in a while but I won't engage you in thoughtful monologues as before (that means I wouldn't be writing much original content for a time). I hope I don't get to disappoint [...]

On Account of What?

RJ Marmol — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:59:55 +0000

Photo by gothick_matt On Account of What? by: RJ There is this fear I have deep inside me -- Not a usual fear, not mere apprehension or worry. Not an imagined trouble or conjured-up story Nay a drawn-up conclusion or fired-up creativity. I know you ask yourself, "But on account of what?" So I open my mouth to answer, but the words [...]

My Son’s Nanny

RJ Marmol — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 04:11:05 +0000

Too many of us working mothers do not realize how invaluable a nanny's role in the family is. In most households, mine included (since there aren't too many chores to be done anyway), the nanny's responsibility is not limited to child care. My nanny and house help of two years does more than just that. [...]

Let Me Write You A Prose by: RJ Let me a write you a prose, Brimming with passion, like a scarlet rose. Let me write you a prose More profound than that of Ambrose.

I Live on Raw Emotion.

RJ Marmol — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:59:49 +0000

Much of what I do in a day may seem routine to the outside world. I wake up, drink coffee, stare blankly into space, contemplate for a few minutes, shower, sing, drop soap, sing again..leave for work, catch a ride, sit (most times -- stand), listen to music on my almost 2-year old Sony Ericsson [...]

I Always Thought That I’d See You Again

RJ Marmol — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 07:14:58 +0000

Just hours ago, I had an epiphany. Beautiful. Quiet. Fulfilling. Dreamy. If I could bottle it up and show it to you, I would have done it, just to prove to you how wonderful it is. But there's no bottling abstract feelings of the heart or ecstasy of the soul. There's no describing it. It is [...]

There are no words for this post. The song says it all for me. Every line is my life spelled-out. I thank you for the inspiration while I sit here in anticipation of the year ahead... While I wait eagerly for my real life to begin. If only you can be there with me when it [...]

Lie To Me

RJ Marmol — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:22:32 +0000

* Note: I am cross-posting this "verse" from my "private" blog which most people might find very disturbing, rebellious and explicit. I call it the "blog of and about the darker side of me". Obviously, as much as I'd like to, I can't even post the blog's URL and I've blocked it from search engines [...]

Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of

RJ Marmol — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 05:03:46 +0000

And now, to cap my 3-in-a-row song posts for the day, I give you, U2's "Stuck In A Moment". This is where I am right now. And this is what I sing to myself. "Stuck In A Moment" is part of their 2000 album "All That You Can't Leave Behind" which also includes my other U2 favorites [...]

I apologize if I haven't posted new entries for a few days now. I have been ill and couldn't write. I haven't checked with my doctor yet but will do this afternoon.

It Strikes Again

***WARNING:*** Boring post ahead. ---------------------------------- My astrological sign is Aries. Aries people -- so I've read, usually suffer from diseases of the head. Psychological maybe? Maybe. Or of a more physical sort? Probably. Whatever it is. I am proof that horoscopes and character-typing, in the realm of the planets -- has some truth in them. I am having an annoying [...]

Of Headaches and Aspirins

RJ Marmol — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:51:15 +0000

As a write this post, I am plagued by an annoying and hard to ignore headache. This started at around 2 this afternoon and hasn't stopped until now. And it's almost 11pm. Imagine nine painful hours of consistent and persistent headache. It has made me very unproductive in all the sense of the word (not [...]

The WordPress Plugin That Hurt My Blog

RJ Marmol — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:45:49 +0000

I honestly didn't think I'd figure out what exactly went wrong with my WordPress-powered blog that made this already invisible blog more invisible than it already is. As I've written in this post and in this post, the recent upgrade to WordPress 2.6 caused my blog to go down, down, down for at least three [...]
