A couple more days and it's Christmas vacation already. I'll probably not spend some time on-line until Jan.6, 2003! Whew! that's a very long vacation! I'm off to Pangasinan on the 22nd or 23rd of Dec. until the 27th. Makata issue for January 2003 will be released on Jan. 7. Will also update the Pinabli (a journal of Pangasinan poetry) section first thing next month.
