I attended one of LIRA's lectures last saturday and I finally met Daisyree and, of course, the poet Rio Alma. I'd probably join LIRA next year. And just for the poem it, I submitted 5 of my poems for the 3rd Ateneo Writers Workshop.

Yet another poem in Pangasinan language:

modirnon makaluma

say daan ya galusa
ed silong na acasia
singano aripen
na ataragey ya dikan
abilay nen simmabiy mamauran

anggapo la imay dueg
ya akapagur tan mangakabkab
ed sarayan dika

say abung ya kaoayan
gaoa lad bato natan
akapastol ed gilig
luganan ya kuliglig

say pasyon ya comedia
asalatan lay anime
tan soap opera

onya kami la natan
milmila ed telek
na modirnon mondo
balet anggaman ontan
amta mi ni agagui
so mankemel na bisokul
manpangan na agamang
manlebeg na digo'y bagoong
tan mansawsaw na tinapay
ed imported ya kapi
