A story of the Lonely

I am a certified movie addict. I even choose films over studying for an exam in integral calculus. and I read books that make me really cynical alot. I am an addict to these things because they create a new world for me; a world where I could see the real interpretation of life. When I read about Holden Caulfied’s lifestory and how he saw that every titsy bit of everything is just some lame phony thing we only tend to believe, he instantly became my hero and I instantly believed in him and every phony detail he said.

When I saw the movie "The city of Gods", I was convinced that every slum area has its own city of god and that I was not supposed to go those places because in fact, I am not one of those riot prone type of a person and I was not born in slums.

But then I still went to this kind of paradise in Davao even though my friends totally dicourage me and my partner from going, which made it even tempting; tempting like the things we do went our parents and all the ads say "don’t"; like a smoke of cigarette and a drink of a beer or a taste of a strangers juicy lips. 

When I went to Bucana, it was everything that I imagined it to be. It had gangsters and smell of pot and smoke and all the illegal things I could see in exagerated mainstream films and although some would protest, in Independent films as well.

But I went their anyway like a Holden, in a phony blanket smiling at those wolves. I even went to the place where every killings and riots happen and I realized that this place wasn’t new to me. I had read this and saw this in every film that I saw and book that I read and every single step and motion and even in dance that I made.

It was just the same phony and exagerated and stereotype facade that we all have and had and will have because Bucana reminds me of reality and how sad life is without it!

after all, it is Buca na!
