A fan of Phillipine literature, especially flash fiction and short stories, the author hopes to bring creative writing closer to young adults through this site. She is currently a senior Journalism major in the University of the Philippines.

Featured Book

Sleepless in Manila
Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo

2005, UP Press

In this delightful compendium on insomnia, 38 fine Filipino writers -- mostly young, many of them award-winning, a few writing from Montreal, San Francisco, Paris and Singapore, and all insomniacs--describe their struggles with this affliction in hilarious essays, poems and stories. They also divulge the countless remedies for sleep disorders that they have tried, or simply imagined, with wildly different results; and the things they do when all is lost and insomnia has won the night. The rollicking humor is interspersed with carefully researched, indubitably useful, sometimes astounding nuggets of information.
