A Facebook Page Called Tiny Windows

 


     So three weeks ago, I created a Facebook page (which I called Tiny Windows) for the flash fiction/short stories that would pop every now and then in my brain. I usually liberate them from my head by posting them here on this blog, never caring if someone would read it, but, then one day, while scrolling on my News Feed, I saw a page that featured short stories, so I thought, yeah, I could do that.

     I sent around 100 invites (only to FB friends I have/had some personal interactions), and around 40 of them responded and followed the page, which is quite okay as majority of people on Facebook just ignore invitations to like a page, though, in my case, I try to respond to all the invites I receive, especially pages I could relate. Just don’t send me invites for a page named Zumba Lovers or one that is dedicated to glorifying serial killers.

     You can’t cancel and resend invites so I sent a PM to people (around 10) who I thought didn’t see my invites and who wouldn’t hesitate to respond positively to it. 8 out 10 responded positively. The remaining two are probably inactive on social media or secretly hate me. I didn’t bother sending a PM to people I was sure would just ignore it.

     As of now, the page has 56 followers, and it’d certainly be nice if the number would grow a little bit more. But don’t get me wrong, 56 is a huge number already. Imagine having 56 houses, or 56 cars, or 56 girlfriends. That is just too much. LOL.

Things You Are Not Allowed To Do During Holy Week (Or So They Say)

Image
       Today is Holy Tuesday, three days away from Good Friday. For many, this is the week to be holy (pun intended). The week for an individual to repent or show how good a christian he is. Ask a priest or any religious person  and they will most likely tell you that the following things are not allowed this week(especially on Good Friday and Black Saturday):        Gorging        Meat        Sex        Porn        Cursing        Vices        Loud music        R-Rated films        Dirty thoughts        Singing (loud music)        Dancing (to loud music)        Bathing (just kidding, it is allowed, of course)        Some acquiesce to this and act all haloed the whole week—then break it when the week’s over. But many will ignore it and go to Boracay and dance naked at the beach while the dolphins watch.   (Okay, there are no dolphins in Boracay and people watch dolphins, not the other way around.)        Our family stays quiet   and shuns meat and

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f
