Flecks of Varied Colors

FLECKS OF VARIED COLORS
A blog and a collection of things gathered into one.

Well here I am, trying to think of something interesting to write and put in this blog. Honestly, I've always wanted and liked to do a blog yet blogging doesn't seem to like me. I created Flecks of Varied Colors to showcase my works and writings of various genres. I chose this title because my proposed contents for this blog are mainly scribbles, poetry compositions, life events and happenings, and anything you might find pointless. So read at your own risk.

I don't know if it's best to include my compositions here, but I'll give it a try. Perhaps, I will use this as a daily or weekly journal of things, happenings and events that I find interesting. Well maybe just anything I can think of. By the way, English is my third language and I'll do my best to make things clear and comprehensible. If you found something off the hook, please don't hesitate to inform me. I'd really appreciate it if you do so.

In response to "Lives of Street Children [Essay]"

Ah, it is hard to read this piece as it reminds me of the people begging at so many street corners near where I live.
Begging children are less common, or maybe just less visible.
I am grateful that some charitable organizations are trying to change these young ones lives: Samaritan's purse, Compassion international, CURE hospitals, etc.

It is not enough and the need feels overwhelming.
Thank you for speaking of the need and bringing it to light again.

In response to "She's So Beautiful"

Hi Kåre Enga in Montana!

Thanks K! Yeah she had it recorded in her phone, thus, the background noise. It was actually a video of herself singing the song with our old guitar. I only converted the video to audio. You can see the video of her in my FB account.

Novallas is a very small place (baranggay, located in the remote place of Tanjay City. You wouldn't find it in Google map. But I checked Google Earth and it's in there.

JanayJanay, I've never been in that place but San Jose is a town in between Dumaguete and Tanjay (From Dumaguete, there's the town of Sibulan, and then San Jose, and then Amblan, then Tanjay). So, I certainly pass across San Jose every time I go home. Guess, it's something I need to check and visit anytime soon.

Talent runs in your family.

I really like the lyrics. I do write poems for friends and want to write a song as well. My voice however... I listened to the mp-3 link (it would be nicer without the background noise).

OT: I looked up Novallas on the map. Not much there? My friend worked in JanayJanay (San Jose) 20 years ago. I see that it's between Tanjay and Dumaguete. She wanted to know whether you knew about it. Do you? It seems to be a small out-of-the-way place like Novallas.

You are very fluent in English. Fewer mistakes then I make in my second language, Spanish.

Just found a quirky spell-check on line for Norwegian (There are two versions; I use nynorsk) and should see whether any of the Spanish spell-checkers are good. Grammarly can help with English. I'd use it if I were writing essays. It might be helpful with writing stories or novels. Poetry?

We break rules.

If you can... write a short blog entry every day (don't wait for a challenge or prompts) even if you don't have much to say. Common every day life is best as that's the vocabulary people use when speaking. Describe your job, what you cook, what you wear, how you live, your apartment, your family, your friends. Anything on your mind will do. What may seem boring to you won't be to your readers.

In response to "Then and Now"

I agree, go or stay for love.

In Philippines I might prefer a mountain village because heat and taffic don't thrill me. I live in the center of a small mountain city now. I can walk most anyhere. It's a quiet city. The last year though has been horrible.

I've lived in small towns ... when I had a car. I loved the open spaces. I loved the prairies ... grass, corn, wheat, as far as one could see.

Hard to choose, but you have to stay where the work is if you have to work. We're lucky now to live where we do.

My Fondest Memoir

MARCH 7, 2021 PROMPT Write about one of your fondest memories. My Fondest Memoir I don't like to cry here but this one made me. Traversing back to my very distant past, during my childhood days. I was turning eight at that time. It was a season to harvest the rice fields of my Uncle in Bayawan - a city situated far north from our hometown. It will take few hours of travel back and forth and it's costly. Also, the harvest will take almost a month to finish so my fath... [Read more]

MARCH 6, 2021 PROMPT If you were given five million dollars to open a museum, what kind of museum would you create? The Tourist Spots Museum I admit, this prompt is fun. Although it sounds too easy but this had me thinking for quite a while. There are lots of museum established already and I wanted a unique and useful one.

Adventurous Trip Close to Nature Well, I always feel excited on almost all things that I never experience yet. Most especially trips and outing invitations. We have beautiful places and spots within the city but I never got the chance to visit them until recently.

Hmm, lemme think . Nothing in mind. It seems that I haven't started anything during this pandemic.

I'm still on my twenties and I still don't have stories worth telling to my future children. It seems that I haven't achieved something big yet aside from my scholastic prowess and the various school contests I won. And if I do have, they might find it uninteresting. However, I might be sharing to them a story that ... [Read more]

Perhaps a Productive Year

March 31, 2021 at 9:54pm

Perhaps a Productive Year It has been two days already since the creation of this blog and I still don't have something to post. It seems that I am stuck in a first timer's dilemma. Anyway, I haven't done much during those past days other than writing pieces of poetry for some great contests here at Writing.com. I actually thought that this year is going to be another unproductive year for me. Unproductive in the sense that I have done or written something worthwhile. U... [Read more]
