From Siquijor with Blog
2007-10-24 15:04:00 Mabuhay! I am a storyteller from the mystical island called Siquijor, the bellybutton of the Philippine Archipelago.By experience, I am relatively a newbie, if one were to base it on the date when my first story hit the magazine stands.How can one forget it? It was my first baby thrashing for attention at the crossroads of two important events - Supertyphoon Yoyong and the start of campaign period for presidentiables. Other literary publications eventually flipped open their pages for me since then.Looking back, my publication also came as a tailender of sort to the illustrious career of Philippine master storyteller, Nick Joaquin. I was one of the last few voices he had freed before he moved on to The Great Beyond. ------This all-new fully-pimped blog is now primed to keep the passion burning which Mang Nick had started if not as a fitting response to the challenge of modern storytelling - blogging, that is.Moreso, this is to let every fine writing Filipino fellow know that I am al...
Hello, World! from Siquijor Island
2007-10-23 14:21:00 Mabuhay! I am a storyteller from the mystical island called Siquijor, the bellybutton of Philippine Archipelago.By any writing standard, I am relatively a newbie, if one were to base it on my first published short fiction, which happened in 2003 on the literary pages of Philippine Graphic.Looking back, my publication came as a tailender of sort to the celebrated career of Philippine master storyteller, Nick Joaquin, as I was one of the last few voices he had freed before he passed away. Needless to say, Mang Nick was and still is the first homegrown genius I truly look up to.------This blog is an attempt at keeping the passion alive, thanks to Mang Nick, if not as an impulsive response to the call for modern storytellers - through blogging, that is.Moreso, this is to let every fine writing Filipino fellow know that I am all for any literary artform or, non-art which he may ingeniously employ in this struggle to get our very own Philippine Literature right on the map of World Literat...

Finding one great adventure in Siquijor
2007-08-11 08:32:00 Upon stepping on its white shores, one would wonder how this island was named “Island of Fire.” For one thing, the island has an ambience of peace despite the chaos of tricycle drivers hawking their services to you. And another, the soft blue and green background (sky + sea + forest) will not make you ...

The Siquijor Escapade, Day 3
2007-06-06 11:49:00 April 25 Wednesday I was wondering when we would be able to go out again and see more Siquijor sights. The time finally came at about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Before that, all we did was lounge around the room and eat gambas, lechon kawali and lemon grass fried chicken. The authorities didn’t give us the heads up ...
The Siquijor Escapade, Day 2
2007-06-04 17:51:00 April 24 Tuesday I learned that the last names of people in Siquijor sound funny especially if you’re Ilonggo. Some examples: Patay, Atay, Alhas, Umandam, Bucol, Lagutom. The beach actually looks lovely in the morning. And there are lots of starfish. Today was fun, but tiring. We went around Siquijor, touring the island. We saw lots of fantastic scenery. ...
The Siquijor Escapade, Day 1
2007-06-02 19:21:00 April 23 Monday Today is the day we go to Siquijor so at about five in the morning, I roll out of bed and sleepily walk around the room, trying to wake myself up. I ate a Jollibee breakfast together with Lorelie. I was hungry. Then we waited for the others so we could head on to ... |
