"this is not the tale of heroic feats."

this is for you gael

after watching motorcycle diaries yesterday afternoon, i realized i was overly engrossed in knowing one famous man's life-altering roadtrip (but most probably in gael garcia bernal, the latin actor who portrayed ernesto guevara in the film) i barely noticed the half-filled, 7-eleven big uhaw glass of mountain dew. it was perched on my keyboard holder, left unattended for two straight hours. the soda has turned very warm indeed. i contemplated on finishing its contents but thought better of it. this disposable glass has kept me company, without reproach. it bared witness on how i was crooning over this guy who, in amorres perros taught me to curse in spanish; introduced me to another latino hunk, diego luna, in y tu mama tambien; and opened my eyes on the stark similiraties between mexico and philippines in el crimen del padre amaro. what better way to honor this glass but through a sketch for posterity.
