And the emotion felt at the end..... powerful. I think this was extremely well written – the use of descriptive words, and the scenery and experiences, i felt like i was right there with you.

Now he is borne by waves that have slowly shaped themselves into the whitest of wings. The world below is a blue nothingness. The bird glides slowly, reaching an archipelago of the greenest islands, until it reaches the brown filth that is Manila. The bird alights finally at Old Sta. Mesa, and my uncle slides down its furry body. He waves farewell to the strange, magnificent bird. And then just as suddenly, the bird is gone.

Actually, even my publisher in Anvil is worried I cannot write anymore. But as of today, I have finished the following, unpublished manuscritps: my first novel, a book of stories, a book of new poems, a book of essays. There is just no time to proofread them. So even if I do not write it the next four years, I will publish four new books. But I doubt I will stop writing. I am writing my second novel -- a satire on Philippine politics. Syempre, I changed all names, faces, places, and sitiations. Meron na akong five finished chapters. Salamat po. Dear Ma’am:
