Back from Subic (’Nuther Poetry Seminar-Workshop)
Due to lack of time, I forgot to update this blog just before I left for Subic, Zambales. I again served as the Coordinator for the Sining ng Tugma at Sukat (STS, Art of Rhyme and Meter) event of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and my literary org, LIRA.
It was the third and last time I handled an STS leg (the first two were in Pangasinan and Quezon). You can click the above image for the full programme.
STS Subic was held on October 25 in the Subic Central School. But prior to that, we had a swell time doing the one thing I never thought I would do in my whole life — scuba diving! (For some pics of our Subic adventures, visit my Multiply blog.)
The experience proved surreal for us, including our speaker, the award-winning poet Vim Nadera. Prof. Nadera even wrote about the trip on his Manila Bulletin column…including a photo of our group posing in the middle of the sun-caked street, in full diving gear! (What infamy! Hahaha.)
So that makes it three ‘working vacations’ in just over a month — and every ounce of stress was worth it.
