One of my works acquired a home again in Our Own Voice, an online mag maintained by Filipino expats in the States whose mission is to provide a home space for the creative expressions of Filipinos in the diaspora. A month ago, the new associate editor, Aileen Ibardaloza, got to read two poems I posted in my poetry blog and contacted me to tell me that they are interested in publishing these poems. My poem is a response I made to another poem written by my friend Toni, a co-berks member writing for blogkadahan where both poems were born. You'll find these poems here. Please do visit the site for it is a wonderful ezine with great poems, stories and essays.
This is my second poem to be published by this ezine and I am still as excited as before. The first one can be viewed here. Thank you Aileen for continued visit in my poetry blog. You don't know how much I appreciate it. Thank you Toni for sparking the idea in me to write that poem.

Tito Rolly,
Please go to this site, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14321230/ "The Top 100 Global Universities" (2006) ayon sa newsweek magazine. Ba't ho walang galing sa Pilipinas. Sa Asia , meron ang Japan, Singapore, at Hong Kong. Asan ang UP, Ateneo, UST, at DLSU? Kung sa kalakaran sa mundo ngayon, eh di kawawa naman pala ang Pilipinas dahil maraming graduates sa Top 4 schools natin ay mga snob at akala nila, sila ay magagaling na. Eh compared globally, wala naman palang sinabi ang mga paaralang ito.
congratulations bossing. alam ko naman na malayo ang mararating mo sa iyong sining.
ang hiling ko nga ay sumikat ng husto ang paintings at poetry mo.
Anonymous Nasa kabilang thread sagot ko sayo. Tatlong beses mong ipinost to e.
Batjay Thank you sir. Sana nga.
Congratulations, rolly! Keep it up and I have no doubt that you will be truly famous one day. Don't forget us when you are, ok?
Bayi How I wish! If that ever happens, how can I will never forget my friends who were with me when I was a nobody for they are the real friends.
