Pardon me for the corny title but it is already January 9, 2009.
One of my New Year's Resolution is to actively join writing contests. Yeah, my motivation is primarily money. It would be great if I, in my lifetime, could win just once in a writing contest. But the real reason is that I need to sharpen my writing skills. Being a corporate animal could really blunt one's potential to be the next bestselling author. And other than that, I can already feel my hand itching to get hold of a pen and just write.
The only problem really is time and opportunity. I feel that I won't have enough time in the next few weeks to indulge in this passion. Also, it seems as if there is no opportunity, by way of writing contests both here and there, coming my way. Oh well. The only thing I can do now is just surf the net ever so often for that ever-elusive contest.
By the way, the Palanca contest is coming up and there's nothing on Earth that's going to stop me from submitting an entry. Good night.

Good luck to our next Palanca awardee. Tip lang Pao: Be careful with the format. Observe proper indentions, spacing, etc. I'm sure they will include this in their guidelines. According to my former UP creative writing prof and Palanca awardee (Jimmuel Naval)they were kinda strict with that eh. I wish you all the best. Write your way to victory Pao! God bless!
Thanks, Ron. Na-pressure tuloy. Hehe.

Your insights help me a lot in thinking I have not had a good son but a better person too. Should I thank God for this, huh?
