Fed UP

So fed up with people. :-)

Balak: Ang Panyo ni Veronica

*draft

ni Jona Branzuela Bering


Ganahan unta ko mangutana
sa kahimtang sa imong panyo.
Nabantayan man gyod nako'ng
hanas ka sa pagpanarapo. Dali
kaayo ka madani sa mga lalaki'ng
nag-antos, unya dayon, hinay-
hinayon nimo'g trapo ang ilang
kasubo hangtod nga mawa na kini
sa hingpit ug motapot, mopilit
sa imong panyo. Ganahan unta
ko mangutana kay bisan ba,
Veronica, sa sige nimong limpyo
sa ilang mga kasakit, nakalimot
naka nga ang imo sad diay'ng
panyo angay ng labhan, limpyohan.

You are hard

to handle.

You wear

unpredictability

on your face.

Yes, you are not

anchored to the ground,

to anything. And another yes,

I do not,

cannot,

will not


trust

You.



Drifting is

your fate.

Tsinelas: Their Books 2

As part of the Press Freedom Celebration this month, our organization, Tsinelas, is holding a book sale. We call it Their Books. We collect books from writers, poets, editors and media practitioners, musicians, artists, art lovers and other prominent personalities in cebu and put them on sale. We did this last year, and it was very successful. We are doing it again. We will use the proceeds to spend for our beneficiaries' education.

Can you donate some of your old books to this event? Any kind of books from your personal collection will be great. I know it is difficult to part with our books, but it is worth the pain if we think of how far our generosity can go.

The book sale will be on Sept. 25, 26, and 27 at the Ayala Center Cebu.

We hope to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Lorenzo "Insoy" Ninal

Executive Director
