PUNTA TAYO/KAYO

Masaya ako nitong mga araw. Nakakagulat nga lang ang mga nangyayari. Hindi ko inaasahan. Pero Setyembre na at panahon na ng maraming mga literary awards. Nandiyan na ang Palanca, Maningning, at sa Bikol, ang Premio Tomas.

Congrats sa mga nanalo! Check niyo sa blog ni Ian Casocot.

Ano pa man, hindi sapat na batayan ang pagkakaroon ng karangalan para masabing magaling ka nga. Ang punto-de-bista, kailangan maging mas masipag ang isang manunulat. Kailangang pag-aralan niya ang marami pang mga bagay sa mundo at sa mundo ng panulat. Pero magandang incentive ito para sa isang manunulat.

Ayun, Tryptych Concert/Awarding ng Maningning Miclat Poetry Prize sa ika-25 ng Setyembre, 6 n.g sa CCP. Punta tayo/kayo.

Gusto mo bang mag-Med?

1. Pangarap ko talaga noon ang maging doktor. Sinabi ko noon sa nanay ko na balang araw ay mapapagawan ko siya ng bahay na kasing gara nung bahay ng doktor malapit sa'min. Kumuha ako ng B.S. Medical Technology dahil yun daw ang best pre-med course. Pero hindi lang med-realated courses ang puwedeng pang pre-med. Naalala ko yung clerk na kinukuhanan ng dugo yung pasiyente para sa Arterial Blood Gas. Naka-limang tusok na siya pero hindi pa rin niya na-hit yung ugat. Sabi niya, mas magaling daw yung mga kaklase niyang Med Tech. Pano ba naman, Food Tech yung pre-med niya. Pero okay lang yun. Dahil pwede ring maging doktor ang mga kumukuha ng: 1. B.S. General 2. Intarmed 3. B.S. Chemistry 4. A.B Humanities 5. B.S. Math 6. B.S. Chemical Engineering 7. A.B./B.S. Philosophy 8. B.A. Management 9. B.S.C. Management 10. B.S. Mechanical Engineering 11. B.S. Business Administration 12. A.B. Economics 13. A.B. English 14. B.S./A.B. Agri-Business 15. A.B. Political Science 16. A.B. Sociology 17. B
