it was all good. a road trip of some sort. pero sayang dahil isang dipa na lang pala ako sa launching ng Tulaan sa tren.

hindi ako makata pero mahilig din naman akong magbasa ng mga tula..ehem.

Tulaaan sa tren is a project of the LRTA and the National Book Development Board, aiming to re-introduce the almost forgotten beauty of Philippine literature to train commuters via poems, which are now posted in the LRT(was launched mid-August). Passengers will be treated with writings from renowned poets and will be read (some were pre-recorded) by our local celebs from Chin Chin Gutierrez to Miriam Quiambao. How cool is that?! kinda like Loren Legarda's version of Trees by Joyce Kilmer only much more swankier! hindi ka na bi-biyahe ng buong tollway para matapos mo ang tula

example:

I think that i shall never see.....

after 1 km:

a poem lovely as a tree.

shwing----it's your exit na! hehe

See what i mean? honestly, sumakit ang leeg ko dun. I like Tulaan sa tren more. Unfortunately, i seldom ride the LRT, but for those who do, i bet it's a nice experience, how often do you get to hear someone reading works from Jose Corazon de Jesus in a public transportation! tsk.

Doroteo Jose. You'll be taken to a different destination this time.
