http://sisigman.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2009. I gave a lecture not in Pampanga but in PALAWAN!

Aside from directing a Cuyonon rock music video in Puerto Princesa, I also delivered a lecture to Mass Communication students of PSU (Palawan State University).

Kulang King Yumu: April 2008
http://sisigman.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 13, 2008. A poem recognizing the importance of rebellion in historical progress. Pamagrebeldi, nung dian keng kabaldugan. Ing mumuna kung ibiye, pamakilaban. E pamamintu king nung nanu’ing darasan. Rebellion, if I'd be asked to define it / I'd say firsthand it's declaring battle / Disobeying what we were born into / in spite of being christened as sinners. Ing tau nung lalon tutu yang rebeldi. King kabilian na e kuntentung palagi. Anggang mate ya e ya magisan buri. He used to only see thing...

Sunday, March 30, 2008. Ing Maskuladung Katmu King Tattoo. The Tattoo-Laden Muscle Man. Poem about surviving in an oppressive place and knowing the right strategy in ending oppression. Ketang kulungan a keni e marayu. Iya ing giginuan da itang maskuladu. King balat na mánukluan la ring tattoo. Ating dragon, agila, ampong demonyu. In a prison not far from here / he's the god, the muscle man / with tattoos squatting all over his skin / there's a dragon, an eagle, and a demon. Inya i Lucas ali na ne pángayan.

http://sisigman.blogspot.com/2009/03/kulit-isip-mind-codes.html
Friday, March 6, 2009. Kulit Isip (Mind Codes). I remember writing and finishing this Kapampangan science fiction in English way back 2007 for a contest, but unfortunately, it did not win. My laptop crashed last year and the file—the only digital copy I have—was erased. The only hard copy present in this world is the hard copy I submitted to the contest organizers. After resting for about twenty minutes beside the White Rock, the two began hiking past it to reach their destination. Past the trees and thi...
