the following are perhaps the most important things in life that i’ve learned from the 3rd panagsugat: all-visayas creative writing workshop
- you lose your lap when you stand up
- you don’t say "hello, good morning!" at the same time, it’s one or the other, it’s not part of the english language
- talk and speak are two different things, so be careful:parrots talk, people speak.
- fedora is hat in spanish
- there are 3 criteria for beauty: truth, symmetry and clarity or magnificence. if you have it, consider yourself beautiful
- good day is not the same as good morning or good afternoon; same as an evening gown and a night gown
- the book little lectures, little lessons by leoncio deriada should become every filipino’s must have, next to the bible.
- and for budding poets and frustrated writers like me, there’s little workshops, little critiques…
the 5-day workshop is one hell of an experience that i must say, not all the souls in up are given the chance to experience. you learn things, meet new people, share knowledge, eat sumptuous and over flowing viands.plus the perks you get such as free lectures over dinner, booze and booze at mags with the regions finest and many more…
i say, panalo talaga ang panagsugat!
more are coming…as soon as i finish reading deriada’s books!he he
