Ideas of a mind at play . . .


Hi! I made a decision to publish my collection of poetry by the time I turn 50. I am quite thrilled that I was able to do that sooner, and in cyberspace at that! I hope you enjoy what I share with you.

Being 60 has not diminished the excitement of this over eleven year old webpage. I hope you still enjoy what I share with you. The ideas keep on coming, it is almost amazing!

This summer of 2008, I am translating in English the autobiography of my grandfather (Ingkong Logio) so that my Filipino-American grandchildren can understand it.

My Life in Two's


Two celfones, one Smart, the other Globe

Two cameras, one idiot, the other digital

Two PC's, one desktop, the other laptop

Changed simple me to a complicated being

Oh God! Please don't add two homes and two cars

Because by then my life will be nothing!

I will try to publish one new poem every week, and will archive every last week of the month, so do come and visit regularly. The idea really is to illustrate with a matching photograph, but right now my poems and photos don't match! So if you have photos that illustrate what you see here, let me know.
