Typhoon Tino may be on its way, but here’s a little bit of good news to brighten the day. The winners of the 4th Tagik Poetry Writing Competition and Kinalitkalit Flash Fiction Writing Competition are featured in today’s issue of Lifestyle Bohol, the features section of The Bohol Chronicle.

There’s never a shortage of things to do, even on weekends, but there’s also plenty to be grateful for. Kaliwat ni Karyapa, organizer of the 4th edition of the Tagik Poetry Writing Competition and Kinalitkalit Flash Fiction Writing Competition, made possible with the support of the Provincial Government of Bohol’s Center for Culture & Arts Development (CCAD) through the Bohol Arts and Cultural Heritage (BACH) Council–Literary Arts Committee, has gathered over 142 entries from 107 Bol-anon writers this year.
As lead project coordinator, just finished formatting the shortlist and sending score sheets to all six judges. There’s a lot of exciting work in this batch.
I also got a bit of surprising news today, something I never imagined I’d be hearing in this lifetime. The ink hasn’t dried yet, but the news alone feels like enough fuel to keep me going for the rest of the year.
Still, somewhere between the busyness, I found a quiet moment this morning to reflect. Maybe when you’re genuinely happy for other people’s successes and at peace with what you love doing, your own time will come too. All in due time, always.
Tonight, it’s back to work on an essay due also tonight! Crazy, but all good. Thank you, dear cosmos, for the strength.
