But if there is a book of poetry, I pick that up first and read it.While reading it, most often an idea comes in.Ideas come in like lightning.

Yesterday, I underwent an endoscopy at the Iloilo Doctor's Hospital.It was administered by Dr. Gil Villanueva, an internist.Through the tv monitor I saw that there was a small polyp inside my colon. A small piece of the polyp was taken off for biopsy. I still do not know the result of the biopsy.He said to Bing that there is no present problem. But I am worried. This might create a problem months

"Sir Mel, I got the e-mail. Will go over it when I get home. :) Thanks again for this opportunity, before it was my haiku, now, my love poems. I did not imagine this in my wildest dreams when I had my first 2 poems published in my high school paper-- that someday, my name will be there along with the famous writers of Aklan, in the literary section of our Museo it Aklan. Thanks to you, Sir Mel!"-

Last Saturday evening, November 28, 2009, the contemporary poets in Iloilo met at Shellsyd Bar. There we read our poems. This time we read poems related to sex. But not pornography. Just a bit of it.
