Bompertz Schizotopia

    
       
          I was killing my time at the National Bookstore this afternoon and I made an astonishing discovery: Burnett also wrote Cedie ang Munting Prinsipe.

When
I was young, I used to watch cartoons before noontime talkshows in
ABS-CBN. What’s good with Kapamilya’s cartoons that time was that, they
were all from classic novels (e.g. Heidi, Remi, A Dog of
Flanders,etc.). Three of my faves were Sarah: Ang Munting Prinsesa,
Cedie: Ang Munting Prinsipe, and Si Mary at ang Lihim na Hardin.

When
I was in high school, I learned that it was Frances Hodgson Burnett who
wrote A Little Princess (the cartoon about Sarah) and The Secret Garden
(the cartoon about Mary).

It was only this afternoon that I
learned that she also wrote the cartoon about Cedie which was based in
her novel, LITTLE LORD FLAUNTLEROY. Amazing, right?

Neways,
remember Cedie/Cedric? He was that cute New York kid who discovered
that he was the lost grandson of a rich Duke. Remember Tom Taus? Sighs.
That was long ago.

I
met Dave! He’s huge…no offense. He was persuading me to work in
Teletech. DAMN! I NEED A JOB! Neways, he was there at Esem paying some
bills. We found each other at the North Wing. I was about to go home
but I couldn’t miss chikahan with him. Some things changed. I just love
seeing and talking with Noscians again. We talked about the old times,
but much was about the present. We passed by National Bookstore and
bragged about books we read. We discussed movied also. Argh! I envy
him…he’s got a healthy Eros.

He’s starting a business. Might be there some time.
