Uncovering Covers





it has not been easy, nor do i think it would be in the coming days.

but then i always knew with a deep certainty that something only means a damn if it was alongside its ugly and opposite reflection.

project life. my life. and its only fitting that death would be in the picture. not the usual death, but the different kinds of dying that is as varied as the different ways for living.

going through the creation of the book is akin to giving birth. and yet why do i feel that at the same time something is dying inside of me.

i guess im just tired.

anyway, there it is, the cover for the poetry book (i just finished layouting page 97..) whew. its finally out. its finally born.

"Falling into Love" is what i call the image, something that i found after digging up what i call the Sihaya Collection. the image represents everything i hope the book would be: sweet, melancholic, tragic, blissful, silent, screaming, a promise of forever, the reality of a moment.

cheers!
