I'm off again to Pangasinan this evening to attend the monthly meeting of the Ulupan na Pansiansia'y Salitan Pangasinan on Sunday, Nov. 30 in Lingayen. The Ulupan aims to raise awareness of Pangasinan arts, culture and literature. I was invited to join the New Pleiades , an international group of poetry editors and esteemed poets with the purpose of inciting the Millenium Renaissance. Administrators are CS Snow, formerly moderator of the Loonatic Fringe Poetry Group, Tyler Joseph Wiseman and Richard Vallance, Editor of Poetry in Emotion. Other Members have included Sara Russell, Editor of Poetry Life and Times; Sondra Ball, Owner and publisher of Kedco Studios, Robin Ouzman Hislop, and Robert Temple. I am very much honored to have been invited a be a part of this prestigious group. In the News: Creativity or chance? Darwinian Poetry tests whether evolution can replace inspiration to make art...

Jason and I dropped by the UST Center for Creative Writing and Studies last Tuesday and joined later by Dr. Cirilo Bautista. He invited us to visit the UP Book Caravan at PNU this Saturday around 9-12nn. He will will be there for the book signing. Jason invited Alex Agena to come over but arrived rather a little late with the editor of Quill. We ended in a place they call kittens We were joined later by Angelo Suarez. in Kafka's eyes that night we were nameless faces groping in some alleyways searching for a place called kittens only to find it when the other two came who knew it too well even without its name painted on a wall we drink the night away with booze and smokes planning who to assassinate next the poets in our midst or the old hags who share our little glories and spaces in magazines and as the night falls deep another one came now we have x and ? of the quill the unpoemed the argonaut and the one with a long raven hair who preffered to have pop cola instead of colt 45

I just received a print copy of the Inaugural Issue, October 2003 of Crimson Feet, a print magazine focused on publishing texts in the cultural domain. This includes Poetry, Fiction, Essays, Art, Comic Strips and book-excerpts. Crimson Feet’s focus is on publishing and promoting work important from an evolutionary point of view. The magazine wants to publish work outside the strict confines of ’literary’ or ’artistic’ creation. On the other hand, I'm off to Pangasinan tonight to finalize the printing of my book on Monday :) --- Indian Poetry in English: Henry Louis Vivian Derozio Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, described by Kolkata writer and eminence grise P. Lal as a 'Calcutta Eurasian of Portuguese Indian ancestry', was born on 18 April 1807 into a respectable merchant family and educated at Drummond's Academy in Dharmatala. The Drummond program was well-known throughout India as being of high Scottish tradition with an emphasis on European classics. Drummond was equall

I currently acquired a couple of Pangasinan books (microfilm prints) from the Multimedia section of the National Library entitled Impanbilay na Arin Esteban tan Reyna Hipolita (circa 1906) and Bellas Artes (Sancaraquepan) by Isidro Estrada y de Vera circa 1907. These are rare titles and valuable addition to my succinct collection.

I will be in Pangasinan next week to take care of the publication of my book Pinabli tan arum ni'ran Anlong . Hopefully, it will be available this December 2003 in time with the foundation day of the Ulupan na Pansiansia'y Salitan Pangasinan (Association for the Preservation of the Pangasinan language). I made some minor changes on the manuscript, thus, the delay in printing. All apologies to all my sponsors who are already waiting for the book to come out. As I prayed for, my book will surely be published this year. A few more weeks or so, I will finally see it ritualized in print :) On the other hand, I am now on the 67th page of the Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan . And whether it will make it to the NCCA's Writers Prize or not, it will also be published next year.

I recently received a rare copy of the Pangasinan-Español dictionary by Lorenzo Fernandez Cosgaya courtesy of Dr. Carl Rubino and Dr. R. David Zorc. I also acquired a copy of Rizal's Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo in Pangasinan language. Many thanks to a new friend who gave me the information where to buy them :) I am currently looking / searching for the following titles for my personal collections and for the Pangasinan Studies Center: Arte de la lengua Pangasinan :o, caboloan, Corr. aum. y llevando en si el mismo compendio by Mariano Pellicer, Breve noticia acerca de la aparicion de Nuestra Senora de Manaoag, Patrona de Pangasinan seguida de novena en honor de esta senora by Salvador Millan, Grammar and dictionary of the Pangasinan language : Gramatica tan diccionario na salita y Pangasinan by Ernest Rayner, and Pangasinan dictionary / Spoken Pangasinan / Pangasinan reference grammar by Richard Anthony Benton.

Call for Submission to People Power 2 Anthology We are currently accepting contributions to the book People Power 2: Through the Eyes of the Young. It is quite ironic that while the youth is said to have provided the biggest number of warm bodies to People Power 2, the youth sector has quite lagged behind in putting out an account of this historic event. While a few publications, most notably Philippine Daily Inquirer's Youngblood and the youth-oriented website Tinig.com, have been publishing People Power 2 stories from the young, there has yet to be a definitive account of this historic phenomenon. This book, People Power 2: Through the Eyes of the Young, is then the Filipino youths answer to this irony. It aims to provide the definitive account of People Power 2 from the viewpoint of the Filipino youth who comprised the biggest section of the raging mass that ousted the Estrada regime. The book will cover the whole range of the youths motivation in joining the anti-Estrada moveme

I met a freemason the other day. Accordingly, freemasonry started during the time of King Solomon right after the building of the First Great Temple. I've a feeling though that it goes back to Lemuria and Atlantis during the time of the Phree (Builders) and Katholi (Spiritual Hierarchy) and then to the Orisian nation, to Europe, to the New World and to the rest of the world. But then I could be wrong. Perhaps the aristos of my mind is just playing with my imagination. Somehow I wanted to remember. But the poverty of my soul... could still not fathom that level of consciousness :) sonito 66 dia ed timplo nen Arin Solomon linmesa'y kaagian na mason managsinop ira'y kakabatan ataoir ni nen panaon aman impalir na dagem na Ihipto ed pito'ran kontininti'y mundo tan niletneg ira'y ataragey a pondoan na kalkalar tan ley maamut so ritoal na ulupan sikato'ya so sipur a sipan ag mo sasalekseke'y sikrito lalo no abalkut na mistirio no panon ko irayan nipanon? sakey

In the News: 3,900-meter calligraphic work applies for Guiness record The families of a late Chinese calligrapher, who wrote a 3,900-meter-long Chinese calligraphic work, are applying to list the work in the Guiness Book of Records. Dai Tianpei, the calligrapher, who was born in 1930 and died in October 2003, spent five years finishing the lengthy piece of collected works of poems of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), when ancient Chinese classic poetry reached its culmination.
