Testimonials and Comments for Dgte Workshop
head like a spool of film for a year
now: walking, or make that staggering
back to OK Pensionne at 4am on Nick
Joaquin's birthday, stoned and drunk on
beer and vodka; keeping calm on a bouncy
Supercat back to Dumaguete; listening to
panelists passionately argue over poems
about penises. definitely, the greatest
there is.
because you can't ever be one again
once it's over! Two years later, I still say
it was the the best time of my life and I'd
give everything just to have stayed
forever in my Dumaguete bubble. It's the
the farkin greatest workshop! =)
myself, my own, with friends I made, friends I
have, friends who could still be. Someday soon, I
will return, and kiss Mommy Edith, and tell her I
am happy, and that it all began here.
writers' workshop I ever attended, and
thus very meaningful to me. Lucky as I
was to get in at the time, that was
the time Edith Tiempo was out of the
country. Sigh. Still, the three weeks
I spent there was one of the best
summertime experiences I ever had.
it is first in many ways. someone
shared that the workshop was his first
real intellectual orgasm that went deep
down there....
and ME ...am like a volunteer here but am
only around when am needed, a solo
welcome party, a tour guide, an
eventologist: prime mover of the poetry
reading at the catacombs, am like
silliman's ambassador of goodwill and i
find this role so important for the
campus is actually disconnected,' ...was
there as an eyewitness to the not so
smooth part of history when the
people "upstairs got so disturbed by
those who were "downstairs, a
listener... and sometimes the only one in
the audience to a fellow's secret
performance, a pimp'...more like a
bridge to those who are too shy to make
a start or even to the totally paranoid
(and this character is almost always in
every batch... am the social
psychologist, free of charge!)... am a
friend!
writers! It sure was a nice
experience...hope to see you peepz on
the next workshop!
where I lost all my clothes except my
underwear during a game..blue
sunsets...silliman beach. It ensnares
you, which is why every person who has
been there wants to come back, and if
possible, never leave.
kakilala nga ako nahipuan eh. Ay, sa
Siquijor pala naganap 'yon. Natutulog
siya, tapos may manyak na biglang
nanghipo sa kanya. Kapal ng mukha.
Maaksyon sa Dumaguete, maraming
bakbakan, baklaan. Maraming halikan,
kakilala man o hindi. Masaya sa
Dumaguete, masaya, masaya... si Sawi!
Masaya si Sawi! Hahaha! Gusto ko nang
pumunta sa Dumaguete! Kasama ang asawa
ko! Ipapasyal namin ang anak namin ni
Kit d'yan balang araw! Hahahahaha!
Bwahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha! Kinakabag
ako! Uutot ako ! Ha--ha--ha--achoo!
Hahahahachoo! Choo-choo! Chuvaloor!
Chenes! Hahahaha!
