congratulations to my older brother, Jose Edmundo "Jodie" Reyes for placing second in the english poetry division of the 2007 Palanca Awards. Last year, he placed first in the english essay division of the same Awards for his essay entitled Fungibility, Dead Souls and OCWs.

he's the only atenean among the five of us siblings (now why did i have the need to mention this? hahaha!) whose book collection is both enviable and awe-inspiring (at least for me), who is both a math and literary genius (unfair! hehehe!) and whose voracious appetite for literature (and food!) is incomparable, to say the least.

congrats, Jodes! Even if you're not physically in the Philippines you have not only continued to show the big world out there what Filipino writers (and Filipinos in general hehe) are made of but have been a constant source of pride (and a constant source of reading material now that you're not home to get mad at me for going thru your books... hahaha! joke lang!).

And to think not so long ago you ate rabbit stew (poor rabbit!) just to spite me and tore off GREF's wings to boot. Hahaha! :D

"I don't care if I never grow up
Don't want to shrink in a suit
Don't want live just to suck someones bones dry
I'd rather die."
