EVOLUTION:
2010
I, as a neophyte to thatinteresting medium ofcommunication, gave mybrave, careless comment to apresidential candidate.
EVOLUTION:
2010
Such words really struck me.Although the netizen whomade that comment didn’tmention my name, it’s obviousthat it was meant for me bcoz
EVOLUTION:
2010
My Warcraft comment was notaccompanied by any picture.It’s pure text. And also, Ididn’t mention the name ofpresidentiable Noy2x Aquino.
EVOLUTION:
2010
For me, the verbal assault I
made was indirect. And so,
the feedback to my message
was also indirect!
EXAMPLE #1:
2011
I was employed in Capiz StateUniversity as a teacher. In oneof my classes, I commentedsomething about a politicianwho endorsed a laundry soap.
EXAMPLE #1:
2011
I told my students that it was
ridiculous for a politician to
become a product endorser.
EXAMPLE #1:
2011
The following day, as I was
walking along the corridor, a
group of students were talking
and didn’t greet me. I overheard
one of them saying...
EXAMPLE #1:
2011
With that, I remembered my“laundry soap” comment &couldn’t help to relating thatto it. It was again toldindirectly!!
EXAMPLE #2:
2012
This masterpiece has no name,but it illustrates a person (me)who tried to sail from oneplace/political party toanother.
EXAMPLE #2:
2012
To interpret, the blue land with
yellow pyramid & a sphinx
represents Capiz & the Liberal
Party. (Note: Capiz is the birthplace & stronghold
of the Founder of LP in the Philippines)
EXAMPLE #2:
2012
The land at the oppositedirection represents a rivalpolitical party and my LandPromised (Las Piñas). Iwanted to be there!...
EXAMPLE #2:
2012
But the painting depicts that I
was tossed back again to the
land of the Liberals... I posted
this artwork on my FB wall.
EXAMPLE #2:
2012
On Sunday of that week insidethe church, there was this guysitted on the direction facingwhere I was facing. He waswearing a t-shirt with letters
EXAMPLE #2:
2012
Has it something do again withthe artwork I publicized just afew days ago? It seems that itwas again meant for me?... Amessage sent indirectly!!!
EXAMPLE #3:
2013
Earlier this year, I had heavyfeelings towards my liberalsuperiors. So one time, Iwasn’t able to stop myself toexpress that feeling.
EXAMPLE #3:
2013
I made it by making anecdotes
in the form of text messages
which I forwarded to some few
students.
EXAMPLE #3:
2013
In that story, I compared mysuperiors to cruel (yellow)dogs and I was the poorhousemaid being growled atand bitten to death.
EXAMPLE #3:
2013
On February 2, 2013 (Saturday),I was sent by my superiors toDumarao Central School foran extension activity. Duringmy turn of
EXAMPLE #3:
2013
speaking, a teacher interruptedfor awhile and told them ananecdote about certain house& farm animals. She said thatdogs are useful
EXAMPLE #3:
2013
guards against animals like
goats & pigs tending to mess
up with their master’s yard. (OhI have started to become fat again during
these time...)
EXAMPLE #3:
2013
Whether or not it hassomething to do with mycellphone messages, thepattern of messages was thesame – fabled anecdotes...
EXAMPLE #3:
2013
And I consider it a response to
my “yellow dogs” anecdote
which I sent to my students.
Another indirectness!!!
WRONG TURNActually, upon my unwillful return to the blue land
of yellow masters a few months after my FBcomment against the now President BenignoSimeon “Noynoy” Cojuanco Aquino III (August2010), I have started to monitor any subliminalmessage which I can connect to the horrifying“slaughter” comment received from thepresident’s FB page during the campaign periodof year 2010. Understanding “between-the-line”verbal & written messages can increase one’sheedfulness and avoid EXPLOSIVE assails toboth physical and moral being. Because of it, I’vewritten every words I could get from thetelevision, internet & daily life interactions which Icould connect to that unforgettable comment. Anotebook was born out of those reckonings. Butsad to say, due to some unspeakable pressures,
EXAMPLE #4:
2014
Back again to where it all
began... Facebook!...
I conducted a dangerous
experiment...
EXAMPLE #4:
2014
I created a Facebook Accountnot bearing my real name &identity. I used this account tocreate an EXPLOSIVEmessage against another “L”
EXAMPLE #4:
2014
...person. I’ve known her for
years and she also knows me
personally. She is superior
than me.
EXAMPLE #4:
2014
For security purposes, allow
me not to reveal to you this
EXPLOSIVE message I’ve
composed...
EXAMPLE #4:
2014
...because as expected, it again
gained negative replies which
included grave threats (just
like my 2010 FB mishap).
EXAMPLE #4:
2014
My only point to that fourth
example is that... This
experiment verified the
foundation of this principle:
1st Principle of the Volcanic Eruption Communication Model
“There are messages indirectly
sent (Tamis).
There are messages indirectly
received (Tamir).”
2nd Principle of the Volcanic Eruption Communication Model
“Not all messages are directly
sent (Nomads).
Not all messages are directly
received (Nomadr).”
That simple realization remindsme of the CommunicationModels I’ve learned in college.Yet, it seemed that none ofthose bears the framework Ihave concocted:

THE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONCOMMUNICATION MODEL POEM
Volcano, the sender
Pyroclastics, the message
From the inner and under
Explodes the great rage!
THE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONCOMMUNICATION MODEL POEM
Space, the medium
Sky, the receiver
Of this mad pandemonium
Towards up, up, up there!
THE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONCOMMUNICATION MODEL POEM
But touched not directly
The target of utterance
And pyros echoed to thee
With unforestalled exuberance!
