Good Evening Fellow Aspirants,

I apologize for the late post. Like many, I still practice the poor habit of procrastinating. I have prepared a brief lecture for Friday, and my author of choice is Nick Bantock, made famous by his work: The Griffin and Sabine Saga, which comprises of 6 books. I had the good fortune of reading the first trilogy 6 years ago. An old friend of mine apparently owned the first set of three, which she brought to class one day, and later introduced them to me. I was captivated by the thrill each book had to offer, each page at that.

Nick Bantock is not only an accomplished writer, but an accomplished artist as well, who solely authored and illustrated his books.

The reason as to why I was chosen to lecture first is still unclear to me, considering my poor literary background, but I take it as an honor and a privilege to do so. Being a neophyte in this world of words, I have accepted the reality that errors will be made, and at a certain point, you might not even agree with me, but bear with me please. I promise to acknowledge the need for improvement.

I encountered some difficulties during my search for online sources, and I’m afraid the internet wasn’t as promising as it should be. Do not despair though, my being a fan compelled me to acquire a copy of my own, which I did recently, but only the first book, the book that started it all. My sweet sister was generous enough to lend a hand in typing most of the first book’s contents, which you will be able to access at http://travelerseurope.blogspot.com/

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did, though abridged, either way, the author did intend his works to be a cliff hanger. I shall be looking forward to seeing you soon, and am interested in hearing your thoughts come Friday.

Respectfully,

Daniel Anton Go

Uptown with My Mom

Unfortunately, Sunstar Weekend failed to come out with my column for this weekend, which was about my mother, and which I was hoping would come out right in time for Mother's Day.

So while I decide what to do with this already written piece, I'm posting it in my multiply site: llacambra.multiply.com

This is obviously for you mom, Happy Mother's Day. I Love you!

And Happy Mother's Day to everyone! Mother or not :-)

bon soir

it's me, ethel. i'll be using "il mare" as my pseudonym. it's actually from a korean movie which has a VERY UNIQUE storyline and if you are not familiar with it, try to watch "The Lake House" by keanu reeves & sandra bullock. it's the hollywood version of it. i can watch this two films many times yet they never fail to fascinate me. i hope we can also create a literary work that is uniquely our own. tatak Pinoy.


God bless everyone

p.s. christian, how are you? how's our book club? everytime i pass by city hall, i'm reminded of you. hope to see you soon.

Poetry Reading this wed!

The performance poetry group XO from UP is having their monthly poetry reading / performance this wed at crossroads.
I think it's called tapas lounge? And i think it's the bar that's really a salon in the morning.
I think it's this wed night.

Obviously this is all speculation. hahaha But a good speculation enough if any of you are interested in listening to words, watching dancers well... dance, or really just meet up. :-)

And bring your poems just in case! We can always hold an impromptu reading OUTSIDE crossroads. Near ERUF. haha

>Insert random reply here<

T.y. Dan sakto kau imong mga advice.

For the past week I've been doing just that.
Yes, I do get inspiration from video games.
In fact the reason i began reading fantasy was because of Icewind Dale the game
It had a nice story and artwork done by John Avon <>

I am currently rereading Dungeon and Dragon's manuals.
It may give some ideas how to create my own fantasy world.
I already know how to play the game.
And I need other players to join me.

Do any of you know any D n' D players?
D n' D might help me practice my story telling.
I used to play D n'D Skirmishes.
I have pieces to use with.

Please post if there is any D n'd players out there, or any one who wants to play the game.
I know how play wizard and speak Elvish, Draconian and Common.


Ow. by the way... Iron man was awesome!
