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.

Me and my friend and poet Jose Jason Chancoco rushed to the UST campus yesterday to attend the UP Institure for Creative Writing's lecture "Paglilinaw ng Estetikang Filipino" at the UST Center for Creative Writing and Studies sponsored by the NCCA. The guest speakers are Dr. Bienvenido Lumbera, Dr. Soledad Reyes and Oscar Campomares. The lecture was attended mostly by UST Arts & Letters students and some would-be writers and critics. We also spotted the poets Roberto & Rebecca Añonuevo.

I sent another batch of poems for the December issue of Haiku Hut's Short Stuff and The Sunday Magazine. WaterBlossoms III : December 2002 issue is now online. This issue features the writing and art of Miriam Sagan, RK Singh, Sheila E. Murphy, Santiago Villafania , Wendy Cluff Cristofolini, Durlabh Singh, and David L. Kirkland. It's a beautiful thing! On the other hand, I'm revising (and re-writing) some of my early poems in English. Here's a couplet written after Jose Garcia Villa: i'd,not,bedeck,your,breast,with,roses,red, but,a,book,of,poetry,when,you,are,dead.
