i rushed here in the nearest computer shop in the middle of the night to print a paper i have to pass tomorrow..the paper is a reaction to an essay we read in our english101(english prose style) class. the essay is entitled "creative writing: can it/should it be taught?".. yeah! quite a complicated issue indeed. considering myself as a creative writing student, then i should be on the it can/it should be taught side, you would think. but ironically, and for a very strong reason, i chose to be on the other side. o, wag na ko pagpaliwanagin! i'm tired of it na because of the paper. but i think i did it well naman. i enjoyed writing it and ideas gushed out of my mind while i was typing the paper.
so as i've said, i had no difficult time doing it. then came the time when i have to think of a title for my wonderful critique-slash-reaction-slash-argument paper. aba, napatanga ako! i spent an hour thinking for a "creative" title (as what our teacher wants it to be). ang sakit sa damdamin. it was easy for me to write the whole paper and yet i was bothered just because of a phrase for the title! and then finally, i came up with the magical phrase.....................................tantananan-tan-tan-tan-tan..... (sorry, i'm out of beat tlaga..:D)..ETO NA......... "CREATIVE WRITING: WHY SHOULDN'T IT BE TAUGHT?".....ang creative noh? yeah, right! and to think na isang gold na oras kong pinag-isipan yan, ang sakit talaga! could it be na nasaid na ang utak ko for the right word kasi i really poured my best dun sa body niya?..arghhh...tapos ang kapal ng mukha ko na sabihin na hindi dapat tinuturo ang creative writing. dapat pala may subject sa com arts curriculum na Title 101 (introduction to titles or fundamentals of titles)...kaso parang nakakatanga yun!
namimiss ko na kapatid ko sa manila!:(
