Alay sa mga naninirahan

and sustained by the sea

-------------------------

Hello all, long-time no post. And here's why - the album Mga Awit ng
Magdaragat took all my energy - but it's finally done. Featuring
music and performances by myself, Noel Cabangon, Cynthia Alexander,
and many others. I did all the lyrics.

The CD is 12-songs plus 8 minus-ones long! It's an ensemble
performance, and both form and content will encourage both dance and
theater usage.

8 of the 12 songs were composed by musicians other than myself: Noel
C, Cynthia A (2 pieces), Onie Badiang, Bayang and Mike Villegas (2
pieces), Chang Tengasantos, and Mlou Matute.

Featured vocalists are: Meself, Noel C, Cynthia A, Onie B, Kevin Roy,
Jingle Buena, Chang Tengasantos (of Reggae Mistress), Dessa Ilagan
(inaanak ko!) and Mac Vicente (Womenspace), plus a handful of angels...

It's a great album.

I made my first deliveries today:

MagNet (8 branches)
Maroon's (UP Diliman Shopping Center)

Tomorrow I expect to deliver to:

Popular Bookstore (Morato/Timog)
Conspiracy Garden Cafe (59 Visayas Ave.)

250 pesoses lang!

Cheers!

JoeyA

Boljoon: More Reasons to Return

Image
8 and 9 June 2007. When editor Kristin Llerin asked me to write about Boljoon for the Cebu Yearbook, I asked, "Why ME?". I'd just written an article on it a few months before for the Lifestyle page (supposedly, it was what inspired the Yearbook editors to feature Boljoon in the yearbook), and I felt I had written all I had in me to write about Boljoon, after years of yearning for it. I'd explored all I wanted to. It was a closed book, as far as I was concerned. "Because you like to travel!" she said. Fine. It was MY Boljoon, after all, so I thought it might as well be me. When I got there on a Friday morning (the first weekend of the schoolyear, and I was already on another "vacation" :P) to interview some government officials, I discovered that there was an archeological dig going on in front of its historic church, and that there were actually still a couple of places I hadn't been to...which some of the locals hadn't even heard of, eit...

Turning 29 with my Twin

Image
21 to 23 November 2008. After a horrendous week of coursework deadlines (gave a presentation on the 19th itself, stayed at the library till 5 a.m. that night to finish my chemistry paper due at noon the next day, woke up early on the 20th to proofread my paper, reprint and submit, then practice for another presentation at 1 pm), I finally got to properly celebrate the last year of my 20's on a tour of different villages along the English Jurassic coast (a UNESCO World Heritage site) in the county of Dorset. This year, though, I had the improbable (and ironic) surprise of actually having a classmate who's exactly my age. We found out we had the same birthday because we were groupmates for that presentation we had on our birthday :P So what's the probability of celebrating your birthday with someone exactly your age? Very small, I'm sure, and probably never again, so this was a rare gift. Because we both had all our November deadlines over last Thursday, we decided to do...

The Art of Wandering

lost and found by Jeneen R. Garcia to be published (or maybe not) on 26 April 2008     I don’t have a mole on either foot to prove it, but I’ve been called gypsy, nomad, and other tribes of similar occupation too often to deny it. Instead of a caravan, I have my backpack with essential clothing, toiletries, and electronic gadgets to keep me covered wherever night may catch me. If I’m moving house, I tow along my suitcase of books and diving gear as well.   I’m in the middle of yet another move to another city. In the last two years, I’ve lived no longer than five consecutive months in any single place--something I didn’t realize until THIS transit. I’ve shipped my stuff from one city to another so many times that packing up has become second nature; my suitcase is always on standby for quick departures.   Relocating? It’s easy: post an ad in Friendster and other social networking sites saying you’re looking for a place to live in whatever city you’re headed ...
