June | 2010 | Hot monai!
https://kmanonuevo.wordpress.com/2010/06
Just another WordPress.com site. Awkward cramped cosy luminous. I realized it has been almost a year since I started thinking about places as ‘culture spaces’…Last August, Flora (Geley, of the French embassy) and I talked about malls as ‘culture spaces’ at the. At that time, I thought that, in one way, malls are perfect for these things! After all, if the goal is to reach a lot of people, malls are the way to do it! True enough, as our experience last year in Cebu (we,. The Terraces, Ayala Center). And v...

Why hot monai? | Hot monai!
https://kmanonuevo.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/hello-world
Just another WordPress.com site. Two reasons–because I like Manila (Metro Manila, not just the city) now more than ever and I want to share everything related to it—-events floating in it, stories about it, characters swimming in it…and there’s no better sharing metaphor than bread! Second reason: a week ago, I started reading Ambeth Ocampo’s. And one of my favourite fact so far is how the bakeries of yesterday had three sizes of monai: the smallest being. The medium one being. And the largest one. Un oe...

The djinn at PETA | Hot monai!
https://kmanonuevo.wordpress.com/2010/06/06/the-djinn-at-peta
Just another WordPress.com site. The djinn at PETA. Like A.S. Byatt’s narratologist Gillian Perholt who finds herself a djinn (1) in a museum tour one day, I found one at PETA yesterday afternoon. However, this time, he wasn’t bald and browless. My djinn, who sold me the. Cd–modern Turkish belly dancing breakbeats! 8212; I am listening to right now (go to http:/ divinelyidylle.multiply.com/music/item/7. To listen too) , transformed from a. Next year, I am definitely trying to shoot Zumye close-range and ...

Post-Filipinism: Tribute to a Generation
http://l-claudio.blogspot.com/2009/04/tribute-to-generation.html
Geeky interventions in Philippine politics, culture and history. Wednesday, April 8, 2009. Tribute to a Generation. PhD by research students are practically married to their theses. Since we do not take any courses, we do nothing but research and write. After spending 3 years or more writing 80,000 words, we get to call ourselves Dr. Leaders. Surely a lot should be expected from them. Labels: History and Memory. April 8, 2009 at 6:08 AM. What methodology are using for your research by the way? Doing inte...

Post-Filipinism: Roots, Rhizomes, and Charter Change(?)
http://l-claudio.blogspot.com/2009/04/roots-rhizomes-and-charter-change.html
Geeky interventions in Philippine politics, culture and history. Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Roots, Rhizomes, and Charter Change(? Another downside of self-serving attempts at amending the constitution (apart from the possibility evil-bitch-in-palace and linguistically challenged congressmen staying in power) is that you can no longer have a proper debate about the issue. At this point, charter change is wrong, period, because of the motivations behind it. Editorial a few years back. Charter change will n...

Post-Filipinism: December 2009
http://l-claudio.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Geeky interventions in Philippine politics, culture and history. Wednesday, December 2, 2009. Nation-building and the Ateneo de Manila University. But what are the implications of de-emphasizing political criticism in favor of immediate concrete action? After discussing my critical take on the university’s nation-building programs in my Philippine history class, I was asked by a student, “so are you still proud to be an Atenean?

Living with one’s choices | Hot monai!
https://kmanonuevo.wordpress.com/2010/06/19/living-with-ones-choices
Just another WordPress.com site. Living with one’s choices. In the beginning rather indulgent, Donna Miranda’s. Anything less is less than a reckless act,. Did succeed in making its point. For the very first time, an artist made me choose between a) witnessing her work, and b) listening to the philosophy/motivation of that same work. Because I love dance and I usually don’t care so much for postmodern (? As I watched the ‘almost duet’ (see image). On June 19, 2010 at 02:32 Leave a Comment. Fill in your d...

Just another WordPress.com site. Paintings as springboards for poetry, for dance. Last week, I was at the 12th. Spring of Poets) at Alliance Francaise de Manille.
