2020 Get Togethers with Maryknoll Classmates

February 17, 2020 by admin 1 Comment

 

 

It’s only Feb­ru­ary, but I’ve had  the chance of see­ing some class­mates from Mary­knoll Col­lege  class of 1968.

l‑r: Cecil­ia Brainard, Bing Jacala, Tina Heit­er, Maria Ciocon

Recent­ly some oth­er Mary­knoll class­mates and their hus­bands had lunch at my home in San­ta Mon­i­ca.  I have not seen these friends for some time and it was won­der­ful to get caught up with them.  We talked about movies, pol­i­tics, health, and remem­bered teach­ers and pranks we played when we were in college.

Ladies of Cebu 2020

l‑r: Cecil­ia Brainard, Ching­gay Utzur­rum (stand­ing), Chona Bernad, Mari­bel Paraz (stand­ing), Ter­ry Manguerra

In Cebu, I met Mari­bel Paraz with some Cebuano friends. Mari­bel has relo­cat­ed from Mani­la to Cebu and I’m delight­ed that she has befriend­ed my dear friends there.  I have been see­ing Mari­bel when­ev­er I vis­it Cebu. She ardent­ly attends my lit­er­ary events there (and also in Mani­la) when she can, and not just as a favor but because she tru­ly enjoys them.

She is plan­ning on attend­ing a writ­ing work­shop that I’ll be con­duct­ing at the Rizal Library in July.  Stay tuned for more infor­ma­tion about that work­shop AND sub­se­quent pub­lic per­for­mance of par­tic­i­pants’ writing.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
