GANITO...

Halos dalawang linggo na akong hindi nakakapagsulat. Pinipilit kong magsulat ngunit pakiramdam ko ay unti-unting nauupos ang apoy sa'kin. Madalas kong sisihin ang pagkakalipat ko sa bago kong pinapasukang ospital dahil pakiramdam ko ay hindi ito nakatutulong sa akin. Hindi ko alam, pero sadyang ganoon lang talaga yata. Napapagod ako sa trabaho sa ospital at nakakapanghina pa lalo nang malaman kong duty ko pala sa ika-31 ng Disyembre.

At ito rin (galing kay Sir Egay):
.
Apat na bagay: 1) natutuwa ako sa tuwing makababasa ng mahuhusay na bagongakdang-pampanitikan sa Filipino; 2)nakapagbibigay-sigla na nitong mga nagdaang taon,maraming kaibigan ang nakapaglathala ng kani-kanilang unang aklat ng tula, kuwento atnobela sa Filipino; 3) nakatutuwa rin na nananatiling maraming bagong pangalan angkinikilala sa ibat ibang pambansang timpalak sa pagsulat; gayumpaman, 4) ikinalulungkot ko na nananatiling malaki ang pangangailangan para sa isang regular na publikasyon na magtataguyod sa mga akda sa Filipino.
.
Dahil dito, ibig kong ipakilala ang Tapat, isang journal na pampanitikan sa Filipino. Layon nitong maglathala ng mga bagong tula, maikling kuwento, sanaysay, at iba pang anyong pampanitikan, kasama ng ilang kritisismo, panayam, at iba pang papel na susuhay sa pagbasa sa mga bagong akda. Kung papalarin, lalabas ang Tapat nang apat na beses sa loob ng isang taon simula 2006.Sa ngayon, nangangalap ako ng mga hindi pa nalalathalang akda na maaaring mapabilang sa mga lalabas na isyu ng Tapat. Maaaring magpasa ng kahit ilang akda ang sinumang manunulat sa Filipino. Para sa tula, magpasa lamang ng hindi bababa sa apat na tula para sa bawat makata.
.
Refereed ang journal na ito, kayat kung sakaling matanggap ang inyong akda, hinihiling na ipagkaloob sa Tapat ang karapatan ng unang paglalathala rito. Magbibigay kami ng maliit na bayad para sa akda kasama ang libreng kopya ng Tapat.Para sa unang bugso, huling araw ng pagpapasa sa 31 Oktubre 2005. Ipadala lamang ang mga akda bilang attachment (.doc o .rtf file sa Microsoft Word) sa tapatjournal@gmail.com.
.
Maraming salamat.

(Pakipadala na rin nito sa mga kakilala na maaaring maging interesado. Salamat!)

Salamat. Huhunga, sana. Siguro kailangan ko lang ng oras para sa sarili ko, para makapag-isa. Ang makulet nga eh nakokondisyon akong mag-aral sa bago kong pinapasukang ospital. Muntik na rin akong bumagsak nung 1st sem.
