In a matter of hours, I'll be joining four other artists from Southeast Asia and four UK-based poets in London for a program entitled Speechless . Commissioned by the British Council in cooperation...and updates through the Speechless Tour blog. Are you on Facebook? Become a Speechless Fan Now! -------------- Also, look at the image above and see if you can identify any familiar words. :)
First of all, a big, big, big thanks to everyone who bought a copy of ROLES: A Not Quite Unreal Novel on its first couple of weeks. Some people told me the couldn't find copies of it yet, and then... Which is one of the reasons why you should go to 9-in-1 Kolektib Intelidyens. Need more reasons? Go to the VISPRINT ENTERPRISES website. Or bookmark www.SIEGEMALVAR.net. That can work too
Hey, guys. Visual Print Enterprises will be holding a book signing/book launching event at the Cubao Shoe Expo on May 24, 2008 @ 3pm . Please show your love. This will be my first book signing, ever...planner (for those of you who are still using yours), kids. Free Knuckle Sandwiches Update : Two people from the office asked, "Where's the sandwich?" after seeing the sign I made. Oh, what fun
It's evenings like this that make one long for the coldness that a strange city offers to young men like me. My pants remain dry in the ankles, and I want to step out for a drink. Partying is overrated, no one gets drunk alone no mo'. Solitude is comforting, only if you don't bring along your inner child.
Actually, I've forgotten all about this poem until someone left an anonymous comment on it. Please check out this poem I wrote two years ago, and tell me what you think. [REPOST FROM HERE] Ina ...ng pagpapatawad na di na kinailangan ng sorry sa lahat ng pagkakataon na di namin nasabing i-love-you maraming salamat. ==XTSiege== Mother's Day, 2006 ########## repost with due credits, pls.
Siege: (Entering the "game room" in near panic) Quick. My boss is coming over for your interview. Don't say a word about "us", ok? JR: (Dead pan) What? Siege: What happened in Vegas, stays in Vegas,...timing from both players pa, ha. JR: I'm really into these lip balms. Me: What, no MAC? JR: No. Nothing too gay. We wouldn't want that now, would we? Me: Of course not. (Pause) (Snorts) FAGS
"ROLES" is a roman-a-clef of this generation's social awareness, its aspirations, its pretensions. It's the first in a series of books set in the not quite fictional school of The Montessori of Asia...In some parallel universe, she had earlier dealt with a series of explainable deaths, hyped up by the media as The Blood Mary Murders. -------------- Please repost, if possible. Thanks.
Someone left this comment on a previous entry: i have been reading your blogs. masyado kang righteous the way you speak. ang yabang mo. esp. with that incident about fullybooked. you may brand me...on my work, and I appreciate that, which is why I'm helping out as much as I can. Yes, I'm marketing my book like it's some commodity, but, see, literature is an art, but publishing is still business
