Spot's Man of the Hour: Lourd de Veyra

Dyan Zarzuela | Published: Mar 5, 2010 - 9:00am

SPOT.ph blogger Lourd de Veyra drew equal parts glowing praise and violent disagreement when he compared Kris Aquino to a "car accident on SLEX–it's horrible but you can't look away." A Palanca awardee and Radioactive Sago Project's vocalist, he has published two books of poetry, Subterranean Thought Parade and Shadowboxing in Headphones. He also hosts the thought-provoking "Word of the Lourd," a segment on TV5's TEN: The Evening News.

SPOT.ph caught up with Lourd de Veyra for an exclusive interview about cockroaches, stalkers and alcoholics.

You have a lot of fans.
Ewan ko. 'Di ko naman sila nakikita. Wala namang fans ang Sago. Naalala ko mga nakukuha namin, mga nerdy little boys. Ayoko 'yun. Wala akong mapapala sa kanila. Chicks. Gusto ko chicks.

You were never stalked?
Alam ko magandang lalake ako pero… ang mga stino-stalk, mga Bamboo, Rico Blanco. Calling all stalkers. Basta mga chicks lang.

What would you say to Kris Aquino if you bumped into her one day?
How's the head, ate?

Given the chance to slap one of our politicians senseless, who would you whack?
Raul F*cking Gonzalez.

Did you really pee on Gloria Arroyo's image on a bas-relief in your TV segment, "Word of the Lourd"?
Hindi naman tumama sa mukha 'yun eh, sa ilalim lang.

Have you picked a presidential candidate?
My heart belongs to Jamby (Madrigal).

Even though she said all those things about Judy Ann Santos?
Hindi lang 'yun. May pinaiyak siyang military officer kung saan nakakulong 'yung Morong 43. Ayaw siyang papasukin. Sabi niya, "Sh*t ka, babae ka pa naman."

Would you write a column in Filipino?
Puwede, wala namang nag-o-offer eh. [Tungkol sa] lenggwahe at seryosong panitikan. 'Tsaka food.

What do you do when you get writer's block?
I think of the cheques that would be potentially lost forever.

Are you planning on releasing another book?
This year sana 'yung third collection of poetry 'tsaka maglalabas ako ng nobela. 'Yung nobela, last year pa dapat eh. Maarte lang ako, nag-revise ako. Hanggang ngayon, nag-re-revise pa rin. Maarte ako eh.

If you could have a conversation with any fictional character, who would it be and why?
Siguro si Gregor Samsa sa The Metamorphosis. It's not every day that you get to talk to a cockroach.

Do you think alcoholics make better writers?
No, hindi totoo 'yan. Kalokohan 'yan. Sobriety is king. Alak pa (raises a glass of red wine). Cheers to that.

    @igeramos,

    Yeah, they are both brilliant and in many ways very similar. Both love rock music, pop culture, movies, literature,the zeitgiest etc...

    Do you think if they run a magazine or a TV show, it will sell?
  • MP Mar 10 2010 @ 08:03am Report Abuse
    Type ko na sana i-stalk si Lourd (chick po ako) kay lang maka-Jamby pala siya... wag na lang 'toy

    si igeramos kaya pwede i-stalk? please igeramos, don't tell me you like jamby, too.

    @ Bogart

    Can't really compare. It's oranges and apples. Both of them are brilliant.
  • BOGART Mar 08 2010 @ 10:26am Report Abuse
    @ Emma,

    Nicely said. Now for your personal opinion, who has more GRAVITAS, Lourd or JESSICA ZAFRA?
  • emma Mar 08 2010 @ 08:47am Report Abuse
    Wow chazz, laughing matter and sugarfree! have you heard of satire? (malamang hinde, kakanood nyo ng sangkatutak na gung-gongness sa TV imbis na magbasa but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt)

    In all my readings at sa lahat ng napanood ko kay Lourd, I have never felt like being imposed upon. On the contrary, what he has done best eh gisingin sa kamalayan ang tulog-mantikang utak ng marami sa atin. Tamad lang tayo mag-isip because we'd rather indulge ourselves on superficial matters.

    If the heat is too much for you, get the hell out of the kitchen.

    freedom of expression kamo? alright. I just wish freedom of expression weren't displayed in such bad taste. pft.
  • igeramos Mar 07 2010 @ 12:45pm Report Abuse
    Why the displaced anger? We men should just kiss, make-up and hug each other. This room is getting too HOT with all the sexual tension and displaced aggression. Lets all cool down and have a group shower. I promise, I'll be the first one to drop the soap. Robin Padilla, are you listening? Tita Aida, where are you? Yoo hoo?
  • BOGART Mar 07 2010 @ 12:25pm Report Abuse
    ch@zz,

    Haven't you heard? HE IS D'MAN ! hello!

    excuse me lang. HATE is too strong an emotion para sayangin sa taong di ko nman kilala. nag.re.react lang ako sa gawi ng mga 'journalists' kuno (dami sila no) na feeling SO powerful just bcus may forum silang sinusulatan. Binasa ko ang article kc di ko magets ang 'award' e. yun lang.

    Kuya, kung talagang gusto mong habulin ka ng mga chicks, kailangan mo ng ambush make-over.

    Kaya lang di ko kaya yon.

    Ako nalang magdedesign ng libro mo. Special rate. presyong kaibigan.

    I love you! Mwah.
  • Peeping Tomas Mar 05 2010 @ 02:42pm Report Abuse
    ...Ang tunay na lalake according to Lourd De Veyra:

    1. Ang tunay na lalake may t** sa brief.
    2. Ang tunay na lalake hinde kumakain ni cake.
    3. Ang tunay na lalake walang abs (see previous blogs)

    TAMA!!!!
