she likes seashore naps and the view of everything from the bus window. she likes tiny moments and the small spaces between faces when people talk.

 

sometimes, she wakes up to that odd feeling of being a fallen leaf, an old tree, an azotea or a waitress somewhere-- talking to a taxicab driver about that random song on the radio.

dear you,

 

we are knocking on your hearts. SINGGIT SIRKULO sang PAMATAN-ON is having a mini-concert on the 22nd of December: “HUBLAG nga may KAWSA sa PASKWA”. this night is a fusion of modern and ethnic music and dances.  we aim to build bridges, to let the youth appreciate our culture and heritage while enjoying the vibrance of modernity and age. since it’s a bit late for us to seek for your help, we would like to ask your support for our incoming projects. you can share your spare through the following:

 

* donate musical instruments (we are teaching kids how to make music, you can donate any musical instrument, be it ethnic, indigenous or improvised)

-thanks dan for your bongo and for collaborating with me composing our hymn-

* donate school materials (we would need them as we hold weekend free classes in puroks and barrios)

-thanks to junelle and breachelle for the school supplies and old clothes

* sponsor a SINGGIT award certificate/medal (we would be awarding SINGGIT members who are graduating next March)

* send us letters (our members would love to read your words of encouragement)

* help us publish our SINGGIT journal (we would be compiling our writers’ and visual artists’ works and have them printed)

* smile

 

 

you can contact us through: singgitsirkulo@gmail.com/patadyong@sigbin.com/09098768415

 

 

we’d be very happy if you’d miss a coffee session or an item in your shopping list for a little step in helping us to dream on

because we know, you are listening.

 

malipayon nga paskwa kag mahamungayaon nga bag-ong tuig sa inyo tanan ♥

fine. i’ll skip one drinking session with my eternal beer buddies and give the cost of one red horse stallion case to these singgit children instead. i know it’s not much but hey, it’s the thot that counts ryt? haha. thanks for the email btw. i can’t compose a sensible reply right now since i’m, as always, tied up to this crappy corporate yuppie tag. pls let me know how i can send the donation. give my warmest congratulations to the kids. tell them to keep on dreaming and to dream big at that! tell them to kick ass while they’re still young, not when they’re already old and the dreams start to shrink.
