Under the Storm Book Launch @ the Ayala Museum

I got there quite late. It was supposed to start at 6PM. Cocktails would be served, we were told. But I didn't get there on time LOL. I had to finish lots of tasks at work and almost didn't manage to escape. I guess that's what I don't like about working in McKinley Hill. There's a limited choice of public transpo. Since I needed to get to Makati, I had to endure the long lines at the taxi stand.

Anyhow when I got there, the bands were already performing, and I think that people were just taking their leave, or out to get dinner. Good thing I still got to catch a couple of writer friends, like Alyza and Jordan:
Jordan Carnice and Alyza Taguilaso
A close friend I met at the Iligan workshop, Denver, visited Manila for this event and I'm glad we got to hang out, along with Miro (co-fellow at the 49th Silliman workshop). However, we decided to leave the scene soon after and eat at Mary Grace since we were starving. I do wish I got to socialize with the other writers more, however, the seating arrangement at the Museum didn't really allow for it much.

It's a pleasant yet inexplicable feeling to finally get a hold of the real book where so many poets have been pooled together in the name of art.

Under The Storm: An Anthology of Contemporary Philippine Poetry

I couldn't post this immediately because when they posted the "Final" list of accepted contributors for the Wazak poetry anthology, they deleted the post on their Fan Page, "they" being MOV, the International Film, Music, & Literature Festival. From their website,
MOV was established in January 2002 by filmmaker Khavn De La Cruz. It is the Philippines’ first digital film festival, as well as the world’s only creative initiative that celebrates film, music, and literature exclusively.
Below is the real final list, I think, which I got from Alyza. The list is alphabetized, and I just happened to have lots of 'A's in my name O_o....I am truly humbled seeing the names here, almost like I don't belong, or I have a lot of shaping up to do. I'm certainly honored to be in this antho:
