entry arrow8:57 PM | Literature 21 Announcements

[UPDATED]

These are the plays to be presented by my Literature 21 classes (sections B, G, and H). Please take note of the venue, which may change, so please be updated in this blog. All presentations must and will begin at 7:30 PM.

Guys, remember to project your voice. And proper blocking is very important, and must be well done. We're not asking for Meryl Streep-acting, but try to be true to the personas of the characters as much as possible. And please respect the playwright and stay true to what they have written, or else we will not be able to appreciate the literariness of the materials. We need to hear the writer's voice.

Attendance to all presentations by all sections is a must, and each is given 30 points per show. I also would like to remind the presentation leaders to give me their evaluation form as soon as they can.

entry arrow2:19 PM | Jun Balde's 60zens



My good friend and fellow UP Workshop batchmate Jun Balde is coming out with his nth book, 60zens, released by Anvil Publishing. The launch will be on October 16, at 6 PM, at the National Bookstore in Glorietta 5. The book teases us with questions about growing old: "Ikaw ba ay sisenta anyos na? Nasa bingit na? Rumarangkada palapit? Nakalampas na? Ikaw ba ang tipong... Naghahanap ng salamin na suot mo pala? Natitinik lagi sa isda kahit na nga? Naiidlip sa sinehan kahit ang palabas ay bakbakan? Pag tumatawid sa daan ay tumitigil lahat ng sasakyan? Pagdating ng kompleanyo ay wala nang kakontemporanyo? Sadyang ganyan ang tumatanda, huwag kang mabahala."

Sounds like geriatric fun. Watch for it.

This is the entrance to my old studio apartment in the family house in Bantayan, Dumaguete City. I love this place. I have great memories living here. But we're renting this out. See the rest of the studio in my Photobucket. And if you want more information, text or call (035) 422-3236 or 09065121336. (That will be my mom answering.)
