The next day Marie DuPawn made a point to be at the workplace before anyone else. Drake Ad Venture is located near the Subway station. She could use the subway train to go to work but she'd rather drive from home to work instead besides she loves to do her shopping for groceries 3x a week. With Manix and Remix who are such robust and strong headed always like to chew on something. Thank goodness for the good wages she's earning in order to provide for their own existence. I mean the canines are spoiled rotten sometimes. So while at work getting busy with too many projects at hand, Martha Sybill appeared and said, "Hi Marie!" How are you? Sorry I did not inform you that I went with my fiancee's house and stayed there after coming from the airport."
"Ah, never mind. You don't need to apologize Martha." It's okay I can understand." Marie continued her drafting. This time she tried the Japanese animae called manga. It has something to do with Japanese characters somewhat similar to Pokemon and Digimon. Quite cute characters and exciting for young kids.
Coffee break. Almost everyone at the kitchen nook except Marie. Joy told the group of workers that Marie will always be just like that > Alone by herself. Poor boring life they conclude to themselves.
" My life wont be such a dull like hers," Martha laughed boastfully and everyone laughed hysterically.
Good that Marie is wearing an audio listening device for her kind of music probably is she heard the bullying it would be such a nuisance to her mood. Her work needs concentration as a matter of fact. beautiful pictures will end up ugly and not pleasant to look at for visual effect. The impact of mood change can change ones obra maestra into sublimity or surrealism.
After work she went straight home. When work is done at the office there is no other reason for anyone to stay there unless if there is a meeting with the executives and the owner of Drake's Ad Venture company.
Home with the canines. Supper is finished. Cleaned plates, kitchen and everything is spic and span. Marie together with Manix and Remix went to galavant again outside. This time they went for a walk close to the light house. The light house has a black and white chess like features and banner. The builder of that light house is a chess addict that painting of that structure coincides with his taste for the love of that game. So while Manix and Remix were seated at the wooden bench with Marie, time goes faster and they watched how the sun set captured their unblinking eyes. It was almost past 8pm and the three creatures were sitting there, Marie was almost past half asleep when the two dogs bark incessantly. When Marie opened her eyes she saw this woman wearing red jogging pants and red and white sweater with a hoodie. She smiled at her and said the usual , "Hello there! Looks like your doberman are sleepy too."
Marie just chuckled and replied, "yeah we've been sitting here for an hour I think." Then few minutes later group of loud noisy kids came rushing with their skateboards, one with a boombox on his shoulder playing the music " Ice, ice baby!" The boys are wearing shirts and pants styled almost punky, their pants hanging reaching their legs and oh, their buttcracks showing indecently but got no care about it. Their leather belts on their thighs not on their waist or hips. Two with wild tattoos on their arms showing how tough they are. Is that how the new generation is viewed today? Marie asked herself. Long time ago only prisoners or ex-convicts are tatooed so that once they get out from prison the public would know that these people were released from jail or prison and they have to be aware of. Nowadays, even if these tattooed individuals are innocent they want to have tattoos for gangly related activities or being " In" with the crowd of their choice.

At the Villa: Marie fed the two polite healthy doberman with delicious pedigrees. That's their favourite meal aside from spare ribs and bones. So while they were busy gnawing their food Marie went back to her desk and started browsing on her computer. She logged in to her favorite website Facebook and Google. She received plenty amount of emails and messages from friends whom half of them she barely recognized. Oh by the way she also receives some spams. If only Manix and Remix would eat spams. Then she laughed at the thought. Very silly indeed.
Marie was an orphan. She was raised inside the convent under Madre Superiora named Estela Marie. That's right she was named after her. Not the Estela but only the name "Marie." Oh she had a message for Marie, just a plain ordinary greeting of how she missed her and that she should visit her at the monastery.
Then also messages from Olivia who is enjoying her student exchange program in Tokyo, Japan. She mentioned that she traveled to Okinawa for sightseeing tour, rode the bullet train and met a youngster named Kurosawa, her classmate in the English-Nippongo class. Kurosawa is a rock band player for HG7 Oxy. Olivia managed to see the many Japanese prefectures along the country then have time to shop at the Sanrio gift shop her fave for she is collecting Hello Kitty and keropi products. That's her, Olivia is the childish cute creature known for her stylish Sanrio accessories from bags, wallets, shirts and handkerchief, from chopsticks to plates and cups. Almost everything in her room is plastered with Sanrio's stuff. Also she and Kurosawa had a night time away at the sushi bar where live entertainment includes the cook in front of their table as they prepare for their mouth watering teppan and teriyaki. Olivia also tried their saki which she said to be strong even just a tiny drop of it . Shocking! The green mustard is soooooo hot and spicy. That green wasabi is awesomely hot that she had to drink two cans of cold coca cola to relieve the shocking spicy taste on her tongue. Complete with photographs of her and Kurosawa the joyful funny scenes couldn't be better.
No message yet from Martha Sybill. Maybe her boyfriend forbid her to send her any information. While Theresa emailed her that she is busy most of the day for she is helping her parents at the convenient store that their family owned for more than twenty years. Nice girl, Marie concluded and then she went to bed early for the next work assignment.
Everything seemed to be in perfect order. She sighed and wonder and sleep tight through the night.

Marie DuPawn is fortunate enough to be a part of the Drake Ad Venture Inc., an advertising company in the heart of the city of Luxor. She receives generous amount of bonus and fabulous salary to maintain her social status plus the medical and dental benefits which supposed to be generally included in the package for every good employees. What more> Holiday all expense paid for by the company. Can you imagine all the luxuries accompanied being one of the top notch graphic artist for Drake's.
It was Drake Ad Venture who hired Marie directly straight after she graduated from Harvard University. She didn't apply she was selected by Drake's. She had a diploma in Liberal Arts and Philosophy although she really excelled in Fine Arts. Her mentor was the old Prof. B.F. Skinner.
Skinner was a psychologist known for his stimulus
response psychology or the Black Box Approach or the BBA. It is a very interesting concept of retrieval. What goes into the box and what goes out from the box has a way of proving the result of their experiment and there is that reward - punishment consequences. In other words there are input and output analysis to any given stimulus. Exciting? For too many of the subjects that Prof. B.F. Skinner had dealt with mostly highly intellectuals, the process is both rewarding and frustrating sometimes. For those who always get the reward they always want to try their luck again and again.
Marie DuPawn is a fanatic Skinner fan. She likes the idea for it also involved learning the behaviour of most adult and children in a given society and its best represented in the social network Facebook. For her being not sociable the social network made her move forward to gain control of her goals towards her project and find best solution to the many problems such as human behaviour, attitude and the way people think.
Marie sometimes is seen listening to the audio tape regarding the professors lecture. Without her three room mates the house is in complete serenity and she was able to do her work most of the time at home and go to work submit her drafts to the supervisor then go back at home and multi-task. There are times that the two doberman found the setting very boring that they keep on barking until Marie gets annoyed.
So in order to make peace with Manix and Remix, they all have to go for a walk at the seawalk and breathe fresh air. They usually played frisbee and run around the park close to the city's water park and fountain. When they get tired, they all synchronized sitting on the long bench almost hidden from the old oak trees and tirelessly watched wide array of blue bonnets as if blanket scattered on the field of dreams.

Autumn Rose - Page 15
NOTE: Due to the graphic, gory scenes and details plus mature language and violence Pages 12, 13, and 14 will be posted next time. So let's move forward to Page 15 instead.
While Lolo Apo continued his storytelling knowledge and power influencing so many young kids in the village , life continues to flourish in another island thousand miles away from them. In another island, an ultra modern progressive city was built, it was named City of Luxor in Texas. Actually the site was originally the world famous Guadalupe Peak.
Humidity is high. The weather is unconditionally extremely suffocating that almost everyone in the Townhouse Villa fell asleep. They were all in deep sleep. When Marie DuPawn woke up, her room mates are gone and nowhere to be seen. Martha Sybill left a note that she is going to pick up her fiancee at the airport. While the two coeds: Theresa and Olivia went back home for their summer vacation. All the while Olivia will spend few weeks of summertime holiday with her conservative family in Canada and then have to go to Tokyo, Japan for a student exchange program.
Townhouse Villa is a newly built 3 story- building with 40 units to boast for. Fortunately Marie was able to purchase the upper part of the building all to herself. The 3rd floor has all the special amenities: 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms wide living room, big kitchen, and a family room. Marie lives by herself but she decided to have the three rooms rented to those 3 room mates: Martha, Olivia, and Theresa. They were all background checked first before they were accepted in the Villa.
Marie DuPawn works as a graphic artist for Drake Ad Venture, she's only 25 years old but very smart and a visionary. She works too hard and because of this she is gifted with so many privileges from her place of work. Marie is a conservative, workaholic that she never seemed to enjoy life's greatest pleasure. She is timid and shy. She worked and worked, her venue is always from the office to their house or house to the church.
Marie is a devout Catholic. She goes to church every Sunday morning, attends novena and usually joins the pilgrimage. The catholic church is just one mile away from their Villa. One time she attended the procession with the other parishioners at Saint Lukes. The prayer vigil started at about 5 PM. So after work she managed to get in through the queue of the devotees, join the line up and have her white candle ready with lights on. There are at least 10, 000 of them in the parade. carousel of statues of many patron saints and then the Holy Family statue was at the big carrier being carried with robust men and women of good standing and character. The carriage is filled with different kind of flowers: roses, sampaguita, rosal, ylang-ylang, camelia, and magnolia. The sweet scented smell made few children blushed and affected with allergies. Anyway the procession continued. The high priest had his incense smoking and the air filled with its scent while he swing the incense lamplike metal holder back and forth so that everyone feels and touch the spirit through mind boggling rituals. The priest chanted and pray the latinized version of the hymn intended for the forgiveness of sins. The procession lasted for 6 hours reaching so many blocks and intersection within the city. After the long parade the parishioners continued the vigil and parade back to the church while Marie had enough walking, her shoes almost about to give up, she went straight at home and were then welcomed by her two loyal friends , Manix and Remix her two doberman waiting for her return.

Autumn Rose - Page 11
Journey to the unknown is not my passion although there are places I've been through my travelogue in my dreams and reality that seemed to complicate my idealogy and perspective in life. Let's call my journey to that specific geography to topology and geology. There are places I remember to be uninhabited until so many pilgrimage were then established for so many times. It was uninhabited because the one in power over the small village is then asked to have that island restored just for the few inhabitants.
The old folks or older villager Apo used to tell stories, ancient stories about their village and its people. It was almost like based on fantasy that the children never believe Lolo Apo. They don't have a name for the village at first. Lolo Apo named the island Mariana, named after their village patron which is the Virgin Mary. They have a bigger statue of the Virgin Mary outside the chapel. Boulders surround the small grotto and there is a small fish pond with lots of healthy gold fish swimming around and feasting on some kind of algae. According to Lolo Apo the gold fish never die. They were there for half a century and seemed to enjoy the water surrounding the natural pond. They don't know what miraculous nature the pond has created but the old people are afraid to touch them.
They keep the secret of the fish pond , besides too many stories relating to that "miracle" made them wary and worried that it might trigger so many visitors and strangers lurking and visiting the island which according to the old people is not good for the island's natural balance of existence.
That the anxiety is too much to bear they have to keep the island hidden from every strangers and opportunists exploiting the serenity, eden-like structure from the hills, verdant valley and natural vegetation and oh, the lovely beach, white sandy beach with shiny glitters of quartz almost so abundant on its shore. Along the island 's bounty water resource of pure pristine water that its purity there is no need to boil the water or have it processed through desalination nor ultra-violet rays is of no need because it is pure safe drinking water at its best.
There are so many secrets in the small island of Mariana. The villagers are then asked every month to vow on this serecy by having a pilgrimage on the 30th of every month.
Pilgrimage is done through series of rituals and encantations around the island. Sounds primitive but that's how life is over there. They still wear the ancient clothing, lovely beautiful sari and malong made from the finest fiber of jusi (pineapple fiber) and special fibers from other special fruits. Some fibers from abaca and jute. They also admire cotton tree and yantok tree which give so much products and are abundant in the island. Coconut groves are somewhat all over the place. They just appeared there in manner of every month there are hundreds of them sprouting like crazy...like a bulb sort of.
Secret. Secret! Secret!!!
In those years of secrecy there are only two group of villagers who functioned the most for the welfare of the people. They are called the Illuminatis and the other group called SS or the Secret Society. Both of these important group of religious group were then asked to have their duty and obligations to the island. The Illuminatis are supposed to be involved in the enlightenment program while the Secret Society is for the secrecy of that specific goal. They keep the secret to themselves and no one from outside the island should know the main purpose of their existence and their role in the village.

Totally sucks! You bet it is -- writing is my life. Blogging is writing with heart, spirit and soul. I cannot live without my hands doing the writing. I have a writing bug. I don't need to have a book to be published. I have the net. The internet is the new medium of being published. You have your novels published in paper do you think you'll earn something, have a profit? Dude you are very wrong with your assumption. You wont earn anything with publishing your novel through paper. You'll end up bankrupt.
Hey don't be sad you can EARN PROFIT if you have the publishing company. If you own the company, the publishing machine, with all the "machineries needed to copy and print plus the ink." That's all what it takes. And who are to buy the books? The sure way to sell the books are through the medium and carrier. The government. Sell the book to the government, to the school. That' s the only way you can have money not from other source.
Looking at the many non-essential books, senseless not educational books at the libraries you may think and question yourself why the hell they spent so much money on having those books in the first place. They are mostly garbage. Time to burn those old rotten books collecting dust before they make us all sick.
^ Public personal announcement from the author ^
Before I continue my stories > the never ending story of mine
Yup all mine!

I have a direct connection with God. When I asked something super extra ordinary HE came to do it in the most magical way. When I needed to change the view of the horizon He changed it for me by changing the still water. The waves are then tossed around causing high tide and low tide if need be. Do I want hurricane? When I want to change the weather , He will bring in the cloud in the sky, make it dark and starless with no view whatsoever of the many filth that surround it. The color of the sky can change anyone's perspective and that could change your aim in life. Here you are rushing again praying that your life be spared.
I have direct connection with my God. I do not have a alternating current to change my view at this moment. Alternating current is a sign of instability. I do not go for it. I do not accept any compromise. I hate those alternate current it is a sign of weakness. I hate the people who think they are the answer when actually they are the ones causing the problem.
My direct connection with God is the sure way to recovery not an alternating current without direction.
Without direct connection you are always looking for the many risks that you wont believe causing so much depression.
The end could be the beginning but the end is also ---------------- death.
