No Wawi =(

T. and I went to the Ateneo Art Gallery yesterday afternoon to attend Artspeak. Artist Wawi Navarroza was supposed to speak, but we found out that Wawi can’t come because of a flat-tire in Pateros. So the talk was cancelled. Sadness. I so looked forward to her talk because among the three winners of last year’s Ateneo Art Awards, her collection was the most imaginative, IMHO.

On a brighter note, her talk is rescheduled on Wednesday next week, July 23. She’ll be sharing the limelight with MM Yu and Lyle Buencamino.

P.S. I can tell that so many people share the same sentiment. Aside from me and T., a lot of other people also went to the Gallery yesterday just for that talk. In a strange way, the artistic part of me reveled in our collective enthusiasm.

Just like winning the lottery

My friends have been congratulating me as if I won the lottery. While I have yet to hold the actual acceptance letter from Ateneo, the other thing I must ace last Monday, May 19, 2008, was, well, aced by yours truly. But of course not all credit goes to me. There's my family who were with me and who gave really excellent answers, and then there's my cousin who wished me luck, there were my officemates who did the same, and most importantly, there was God. Well, what can I say, I can now freely travel to the U.S. for ten years!

My prayers were answered. I love walking with the Lord.
