Taken from Kasagkoran Tilad Literary Portfolio Vol. 1 Issue 3

of Ateneo Literary Association (ALA)

I've used a 5-point pen and substance 20 paper. Any lighter paper and my ink tend to drench the whole page! I have a little help from Kuya Pen who edited my work in photoshop. He also helped me a lot in most of my works.

I've named this "Leaves" because it is one. I like trees. If you spend enough time with paper, pencils and more papers, you would eventually fall for them. Which is a dilemma if you consider how much I've wasted already, just to satiate my compulsion to draw and read.

As for the poetry, I love everything! It is so simple and yet it let you sink in as it tells you her sentiments. The language is Bikol, so only those who understand our local language can understand and I am definitely not good at translating.
