My Blueberry Nights :)

MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS

1. What is the external journey of the main character? Enumerate all journeys.

Elizabeth’s external journey is crossing the street from New York to Memphis and Las Vegas.

Having two jobs a day in Memphis, Tennessee, a waitress as Beth in a diner in the morning and as Lizzie in a bar in the evening, surely kept her thoughts away from thinking and helped her to save money for her dream car. Next stop was Las Vegas where she worked in a casino almost all day and met Leslie who loaned all her savings to be able to play poker again and because Leslie told her that she lost she gave her Jag to Elizabeth. However, before totally giving the car to Elizabeth, Leslie asked her to give her a ride to Nevada where they found out that Leslie’s father was gone. Her last external journey was her return to where the story begun, at Jeremy’s café in New York. It is the place where the main character finds love and hope to be loved again.

2. What is the internal journey of the main character? What did she learn per journey?

Her way of walking away from her problem with her boyfriend was going to another town, finding a job and becoming busy to keep her mind away from anything that will remind her of her past relationship, on how her boyfriend cheated on her. Her main objective is to observe and learn. Her journey with Anrie, the cop, helped her to learn how to accept. Learn to manage the pain of being left alone and move on. Furthermore, her journey with Leslie, the gambler, intended to teach her never to trust people but it failed. Instead, Elizabeth learned to trust people even if at first they lie. There are reasons why people lie and in the case of Leslie, she would not want to take her ride home all by herself, she wants someone who would accompany her which was the reason why she lied to Elizabeth.

3. Who were her guides? What do the guides represent?

Jeremy was her first guide. He represents that people can really move on the only way to do is to figure out how you would do it. The second guide would be Travis, the owner of the bar where Elizabeth worked during night time. He became Elizabeth’s path of knowing the true story behind Arnie and Sue Lynne. He let her talk to Arnie when he’s drunk and asked her to follow Sue Lynne when she’s mourning for the loss of her ex-husband. The main character’s last guide would be Leslie who told her to ‘”trust everyone but always cut the cards” which meant never to trust anybody.

4. Who are the characters she met? What do they represent?

She met three people having the same situation as she does -- emotionally broken from their failed relationships -- and are all linked due to emotional loss.

First is Jeremy, the owner of Café Klyuch in New York. Just like Elizabeth, he is suffering from the loss of his love named Katya who even visited him before totally leaving the town just to say goodbye. He represents hope for he made Elizabeth realize that falling in love again is not impossible as well as being loved.

Second is Arnie Copeland. He was the guardian of the highways, the defender of freedom and the king of the white chips. He was the cop who refuses to believe that he and his wife, Sue Lynne, were separated long ago. As a means of his escape, he goes to the bar every night thinking and hoping that his ex-wife would return. However, it did not happen. It even became worst because Sue hated him for what he did to Randy. When Arnie died, Sue then realized how important he is for her. She and Elizabeth, through Travis’ help, were able to talk to each other and wonder how Arnie would be remembered. He represents a person who dies that would be remembered through the memories he had created in other people’s lives.

Third is Leslie, who is a gambler. Her addiction with playing the cards masks the problems she has with men and her father. Her character represents a weak personality hiding from a strong one. She can read other people’s face but she doesn’t win all the time which shows that people cannot always win. She may look strong for she seems to be able to cope with life alone but in reality she’s afraid to be unaccompanied. She wants someone to stay with her in her journey to her home.

5. What are the symbolisms of each?

a. Blueberry pie

- It is always left untouched, an under-appreciated treat, not because something is wrong with the pie but simply because no one wants it. People make different choices. The blueberry pie stands alone and it represents every boy or girl forced to leave a broken relationship which makes him or her, the victim of the story who is questioning their capability to fall in love again or their chance to be loved again.

b. Jar of keys

- The jar of keys contains different keys from Jeremy’s customers having different stories with special reasons why they decided to keep the keys in the jar. One of the keys belonged to a young couple who seemed not to believe that they will spend the rest of their lives together until their feelings for each just went away. Another would be an old lady’s key which would be picked up by her best friend to visit her. One more would be the young lad’s key who wished to run every marathon in his country and write a journal about his experiences but ended up running a café.

c. Car

- The main character, Elizabeth, dreams to have a car that would bring her to places until she run out of places to go. The car merely symbolizes Elizabeth’s way to her dream. This is her means of escaping from her past and going to other places that might help her in her process of moving on and finding her new self. Something that would lead her to new things, observe and learn more.

d. Coffee shop

- The Café Klyuch, Jeremy’s coffee shop, served as Elizabeth’s accidental dwelling place. It was the place where she knew about how her boyfriend is cheating on her and it was also the place where she found someone to talk to and that is Jeremy. The place her heart was broken and the same place where she found that person that would fix the pieces of her broken heart. It merely shows the image of the world where we meet people who come and go. A place where we can find people who’ll love us and people that we will love.

e. Surveillance cam

­ - It’s supposed to keep people from stealing but it did not. Moreover, it became Jeremy’s diary where he can view the highlights of what happened in his café. It recorded all amazing and important memories that happened inside the café that Jeremy was not able to notice.

f. poker chips/ white chip

- It was a symbol for an intention to stay sober and if you slip up and drink again the other day you should come back and get another chip. In the case of Arnie, he was able to get as many as 90 chips which meant he was not able to overcome his addiction in alcohol for he kept on getting another chip every time he drinks alcohol. The only way to overcome or cure you addiction is to focus your attention to something else.

6. What does it take to move on?

People should learn that emotional pain is universal. What we should do is to learn the art of acceptance and acknowledge that life must go on. You should focus your attention into something else. Make yourself busy and focus on your dreams. My Blueberry Nights is about distance and proper communication. First you need to know what happened. Second is to realize why it happened. Third is to accept and forgive yourself for what happened. Lastly, move on. People get hurt, it is normal. People move on and it’s a process that should start from you.

some people

some people can't stay with you forever because they just can't.

di na dapat

di na dapat ako umiiyak kapag pinapaasa ako eh. di na nga dapat ako umaasa. ang tanda kona. hindi padin ako nagtatanda.

nakakapagod

nakakapagod madisappoint, wag na kasing magexpect sa susunod.

manganganta at manunulat

by Kat Ongoco

kung ikaw ang manganganta

ikaw ang taga-bigay ng kulay

kung ikaw ang manunulat

ikaw ang daan sa ibibigay na kulay

kapag kinakanta ang isang awitin

iisa ang kanilang hangad

ang mapasaya ang taga-pakinig

at maramdaman ang kanilang saloobin

ang hirap

ang bigat ng araw. ang hirap ng hindi ka pinapahalagahan. ang hirap ng panghuli ka sa listahan ng taong akala mo ika'y pinahahalagahan.

parang isang kanta

by Kat Ongoco

parang isang kanta

pilit pinapakinggan

kahit hindi naiintindihan

pilit kinakabisa

kahit di matandaan.

kelangang ulit-ulitin

kelangang pakinggang mabuti

para maramdaman

para maintindihan

ang totoong nilalaman

gayun pa man

may isang kakaibang bagay

na taglay ang isang kanta

ito ang maipadama

ang tunay nitong nadarama

baka masanay nanaman, baka umasa nanaman, at baka masaktan nanaman.

naiinis ako, seryoso. ayoko kasi ng ganon eh. hay, napakamatampuhin ko talaga. pero wala. siguro talagang napabilis ang lahat at ayun, ewan ko. hindi ako makaisip ng tama ngayon.

siguro hindi muna ako magtetext sakanya at hindi na rin muna sasama sakanya. una, hindi ako sumama sa videoke at simba ng bff ko last saturday dahil sumama ako saknya sa birthday celebration niya with his friends kahit ang intention naman niya ay ang ipakilala ako sa barkada niya, nagenjoy din naman ako dahil sobrang baet at saya nilang kasama. pangalawa, napapadalas akong napapaaga ng uwe or napapahiwalay or hindi nakakasama sa lunch dahil siguro mas nauuna kong makasama siya, which is i know, bad, choice ko, kaya magsisi to death ako. haha.

kaya ayun, siguro kelngan kong magtino. umiwas kahit isang linggo lang. walang text message at lunch, o kahit dinner. baka masanay nanaman, baka umasa nanaman, at baka masaktan nanaman.

sana makaya ko.

buhok as pag-ibig?

by Kat Ongoco

ang buhok habang lumalago

lalong gumaganda

iiwasan lang na magkakuto

dahil sabi ng mga matatanda'y baka maloka

pero kung matututo lamang

na ang buhok ay alagaan

gamitan ng shampoong tama lang

tiyak hindi na masisiraan

dagdagan mo pa ng conditioner

pampakintab at pampalambot

di na kailangan pang i-blower

hay

nakakatamad din itext ang taong tinatamad itext ka. di wag. fine. ayoko na din.

ang ganda ng boses niya tae. ang sweet. sana merong kumanta sakin na katulad niya, yung tipong gugutsuhin mo din kumanta kasabay at kayakap niya.

27 by Nerisa del Carmen Guevara

And by the time I reach 80
I would have fallen in love with
An entire city.
All the people on the streets
Would follow me down with
A knowing.
All hate gone. All sorrow.
The word absence would not
make sense.

The dinosaurs are still underground;
All the species the eco-warriors were not able to save
Have walked without regret to wastelands they haven’t found yet;
Most of the people we love, walking or dead,
Are sometimes in the dust we sweep out on Sundays.
The trees always leave an instant mix,
Just add water
And we are still
Here
Remembering even what we try to forget.

The once loved, the once loving,
The kept, the abandoned,
Finally making sense of it all.

revised edition ng aking First time :)

FIRST TIME SA FIRST DAY NG KLASE

Unang araw ng eskwela sa ikalawang taon ko sa kolehiyo. Pagkapasok sa aming silid-aralan, kaagad akong sumigaw kasabay ng pag-agos ng luhang tila walang katapusan. Takot na takot na hawak ang cell phone. Iniuntog ko ang aking ulo at hinampas sa pader na walang kalaban-laban na parang bang nababaliw at kailangan ng ikulong sa pulang bubong sa Bataan. Lahat nagulat. Lahat nagtaka. Marahil yung iba pa nga ay nainis sa ingay na aking ibinungad sa kanila.

“Ano ba’ng nangyari?” tanong ng aking kamag-aral habang tinatawagan ko ang aking nakatatandang kapatid na babae.

Isang sandali pa’y sumagot na ang aking ate, “Oh, bakit?”

“Nahold-up ako ate!” ang sagot ko habang nanginginig sa takot. “Huh? Pano nangyari ‘yon?” ang gulat na tanong ng aking kapatid.

“Pagkapuno ng sinasakyan kong jeep sa Lawton, may dalawang batang lalake na bigla na lamang sumabit. Maya-maya, naglabas na ng kutsilyo yung isa at itinutok sa aming lahat habang hinihingi ang wallet at cell phone namin. Sabi pa niya, ‘Pasensya na, nangangailangan lang.’ Tila sila’y mayroong matinding pinagdadaanan kaya nila iyon ginagawa.

Nakaupo ako sa gitna. Sa kasamaang palad, halos puro babae ang mga kasamahan kong pasahero. Meron mang lalake, sila naman yung tipong hindi makakabasag ng pinggan dahil pawang malalambot at nagdududa sa taglay na kasarian. Akala ko pa nga nasa Wow Mali ako. Hinihintay kong may lumabas at magsabing “tingnan niyo ang camera”. Pero nung nasa tulay na kami, doon ko naramdamang seryoso na pala. Totoo na pala. Eto na pala ang unang beses kong matututukan at masasabihan ng kinatatakutan ng maraming “hold-up ‘to”.

Gulat na gulat ang aking ate pati na rin ang aking mga kamag-aral na nakikinig habang ako’y nagsasalita. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit bakas sa kanilang mga mukha ang pagtataka. Pilit kong iniisip kung bakit parang ayaw nila akong paniwalaan.

Hindi ko maramdaman ang awa at pag-aalala na dapat sana’y ipinapadama sa taong walang malay na sumakay ng jeep at biglang tinutukan ng kutsilyo habang nag-iisip at humihiling na sana’y mayroon siyang gwapong kaklaseng makatabi sa bagong taon ng kanyang pag-aaral.

“Totoo? Anong nakuha sayo?” ang tila nag-aalalang tanong ng aking ate.

“Nakuha ang buong bag nung ate sa may pintuan. Nung una cell phone at pitaka lang pero dahil nanlaban yung katabi ko gamit ang baon niyang pepper spray, nasaksak nung bata yung babae sa may pintuan at pilit kinuha ang kanyang bag. Lahat nakuha! Pinagtulungan pa nung mga nasa unahan na sipain palabas ang bata habang sumisigaw dahil sa sakit na idinulot ng pepper spray sa kanyang mga mata.”

“Oh? Pero ano ngang nakuha sayo?”

“Wala?” ang nagtataka kong sagot.

Noon ko lang naisip at naintindihan kung bakit habang inilalahad ko ang para sa aki’y nakakatakot na istorya ay kaharap ko ang mga taong takang taka at pigil na pigil sa pagtawa. Hindi nga naman pala maituturing na hold-up ang nangyari. Kung iispin, wala akong karapatang sumigaw at mag-iiyak dahil wala nga palang nakuha sa akin.

Hawak ko pa nga ang aking cell phone na regalo pa sa akin ng aking mga magulang nang magtapos ako ng haiskul. Nasa akin pa ang bag ko laman ang pitakang kalakip ang baong ipambibili ko sana ng almusal nang umagang iyon. Nasa akin din ang pinakaiingatan kong I.D. na madalas kasamang nakukuha sa mga estudyanteng, katulad ko, ay natutukan o nahohold-up sa daan. Walang dugong tumutulo mula sa akin dahil hindi naman ako ang nasaksak ng batang nangangailangan.

Wala. Walang nangyaring masama sa akin. Walang daliring nabawas. Nakapagsasalita ng maayos, kausap ang aking ate at ang aking mga kamag-aral. Mayroong pambili ng almusal at I.D. na ipinangswipe para makapasok sa gusali ng aming eskwelahan. Natutukan ngunit, sa awa ng Diyos, buhay at buo pa. Makakapag-aral, makakauwe sa aming bahay at higit sa lahat ay makikita ang mga mahal ko sa buhay, ang aking pamilya.

Ang tanging nasabi ko na lang sa aking ate at sa aking mga kamag-aral, “Hindi pala ako nahold-up. Akala ko lang.”

LAINE AND AP :P

sa bawat sampung tao sa mundo, minsan ka lang makakakilala ng taong di ka iiwan. iilan lang ang tatanggap ng katangahang nagawa mo at nagagawa mo.

Sa buhay ko, nakakita ako ng dalawa. (hoho) Si Laine at Apap.

sila ang dalwang taong tanggap ako sa lahat ng ka-badingan, ka-praningan at ka-engotan ko sa buhay. ang dalawang nakikipagpustahan sakin palage na ako ang pinakaunang ikakasal saming tatlo dahil seasonal daw sila. ang dalawang magsasabi sakin na “kaya mo yan Kat, wag kang aayaw” sa tuwing dinadalaw ako ng pagkasira ng ulo. ang dalawang taong titiisin ang saltikin kong ugali sa mga panahong gutom na gutom na ako. ang dalawang babaeng dadamayan ako sa pagkain ng spaghetti+chicken+rice+fries+burger+sundae sa Mcdo. kahit umutot ako okay lang. kahit di pa ko naliligo okay lang. kahit wala akong pangarap sa buhay at ang gulo-gulo ng utak ko okay lang. sila na lang lagi ang umiintindi sakin. sila lang ang maghihintay sakin pagkatapos ng practice sabay yayakapin ako kahit pawis na pawis ako. hahaha.

they’re the best. i just want to be with them a.s.a.p.

My Astro Pen!

January 16, 2011

habang nanagbabasa ako ng Rise and Fall chuchu para sa isang klase namin, naisipan kong gusto kong pumunta sa Cash & Carry mall para bumili ng Quickly (isang inuming worldclass dahil sa taglay nitong sarap, marahil dahil sa mga sangkap tulad ng nata, pudding, ect.).

Ang nangyare, bumili ako ng Quickly at kumain kami ng dinner ng ate ko. Pagkatapos, naglakad kami at nakakita ng astro boy chess board. nagbakasakali ang ate ko na mag stuffed toy na astro boy pero wala. ang tanging meron lang ay ang chess board at ballpen. dahil di naman mahilig si ate sa ballpen, ako na lang ang nagpabili. dagdag collection :P

maluha-luhang mata

ang kulit ko kasi. malay ko bang ayaw pala niyang pinapakialamanan yung buhok niya? nangilid tuloy yung luha ko. inipitan ko kasi siya. kala ko okay lang. di pala. nagtampo pa ko. medyo tagal kong tumahimik habang yakap siya. hanggang sa pumayag na siyang guluhin ko yun at paglaruan kahit kelan ko gusto. hahahaha

January 10, 2010

Today's Mr. Felix Octa's 20th (according to him, twen'teen'th) Birthday. hoho

i waited for 12midnight and sent him my birthday message. he told me it was not his birthday yet because it was not 2am. i waited for 2 hours and sent my birthday message again. then we decided to sleep. woke up at around 7:45 and saw his usual 'good morning :)' message. i wished him good luck for his basketball game at 9am. i prepared for school and left the house. i told him i'll be dating someone. haha. but he knew that was a joke. my real plan was to get his, supposedly, surprise birthday present at 10am at Rob Manila. that gift's overdue, joke. i don't know how to call it but i'm supposed to get it yesterday lunch but i was not able to do it. so i decided to get it as early as i can so i can go to national bookstore for its wrapper? whaha i was scared 'cause i'm not sure if Green Lantern's really his favorite hero. my original plan was the image of batman then i recalled him saying Green (something) is his favorite. He even wants to watch the film this 2011. i looked for the trailer and yeah, i got it right! it was Green Lantern :P YEHEY! still, i don't know. i'm still scared and i don't know if i'm right :P i'm nervous about his comment. it's hard to look for something for someone who has everything he wanted to have. a personalized shirt was the gift that i hoped would make him happy.

when i got the shirt, i looked and immediately paid for the gift wrap materials (wrapper, blue ribbon, card). then i went to school. i have no one with me so i preferred to stay at the library. few minutes after, i wanted to eat. i asked all my friends if they can eat with me but no one is available. i don't have the guts to text him so i asked his classmate, ate Kc. luckily, she was free. she told me stories about her ex's and etc.

after eating, he asked me to inform him. i did so. i told him that i'll stay in the library. so he said, he'll stay with me. instead of me going at his place, socscie, i asked him to go at my place, filipiniana. yeah, i'm so maarte. i know.

i was not able to study. hate him haha. he embraced me made me his pillow. 'cause i'm fat :'(

i didn't give his gift. i don't know how to.

when it turned 3pm, we went to the AB building. it was the first time we entered the building together at the same time.

my first class was done. it's my second class's turn. i got a text from his asking how was class? i told him i'm hungry, then i sent another message saying "magpakita ka sakin bago umuwe (see me before you go home)." i don't know where i got the guts to text that. haha. then he said "i will po."

he waited for our class to finish. he waited for my friends to come and be ready to go home. he asked me to eat dinner with him and i said okay. so, i decided to give my gift after dinner.

we went home. we ate dinner. then i gave his gift :P i really don't know what's happening with me. i'm really nervous. haha.

funny part1. he said he knew that i'll be giving a gift. he knew it when i asked him to see him before going home. darn it.

funny part2. i told him i'm not sure if he'll like whatever's inside that box (my gift). he said whatever's inside he'll love it. then i told him, i don't know. i wish. he asked me what that gift was. i gave him clues. i told him it's his favorite (ata?) then he asked if it's Green Lantern then i embraced him! yey! i got it right!

i thought he'll be surprised. unfortunately, he was not. haha bwisit.

NATUTUKAN NA PINAGTATAWANAN PA

Ang tanging nasabi ko na lang sa aking ate at sa aking mga kamag-aral, “Hindi pala ako nahold-up. Akala ko lang.”

I would like to thank Mr. Felix Octa for helping me find this planner.

I would like to thank Mr. Felix Octa for finding time to get this planner and bring it in our house last December 29, 2010.

Thanks to Mr. Felix Octa, now i am ready to doodle :P

my dream blue house

today's January 1, 2011. i spent the first day of the year in the Blue House Cafe.

well, my reason of so is because i need to surf the net and look for our thesis' related studies. i wanna stay somewhere peaceful and somewhere my globe tattoo will have it's signal and be fast enough for me not to lose my temper.

it was cold there. take note, there was no air conditioner. it's an open space, surrounded with different plants so wonderful that i cannot stop myself from dreaming of having my very own blue house someday.

then my sister, Ate Dedette, my mother, Mama Ester, my brother, Kuya Mark, his wife, Ate Nellie, and my niece, Baby Yomi, came to fetch me.

it's funny because it was our first time there, instead of immediately going home, my Mama decided to try out anything in their menu. i shared my nachos with them and it seemed that they liked it so they ordered another. my Mama tasted my Mocha Kiss and she said it was good. she ordered 4 clubhouse sandwiches. my sister requested for a salad, i cannot remember what salad that was. also, she ordered a 'sloppy burger' wondering what that would be. as for her drink, she asked for a peppermint mocha, i think? haha. i must be frank, i didn't like the of that peppermint drink. actually i hate anything with that weird taste.

while waiting for the orders to be served, i played with my niece and took pictures of her around the cafe.

when we're finally done eating, my sister paid the bill, though it was really my Mama's money (haha). i got the nachos, our pasalubong for my Kuya Jp. bbye blue house cafe. :P
