How can everyone bring a little peace into the world this christmas?
I think that everyone can bring peace to this world the moment they decide not be ashamed of who they are and act according to their heart’s desires. And when they tell their stories.

Submissions are being accepted now through January 20 for the amazing bastion of Filipino/American arts and literature, {m}aganda magazine.
Call for Submissions
What is today’s generation marked by?
Invention. Innovation. Invigoration.
The energy to fight for a cause
The spark to cause an effect
The power to effect change
The people living in today’s world share much more in common than
merely existing at the same time. We share a history: chapters both
ugly and triumphant, events that have occurred both within and outside
of our control. In the end, our future is still to be determined by
our decisions.
As the electric current of ideas rapidly fires through the generator
of our collective minds, we gain the power to make a difference, to
mark a place in history, not only in continuing the pursuits of
previous generations but in creating entirely new possibilities.
What will this generation be defined by?
GENERATE
produce
cause
What does it mean to you? What do you generate? How do you perceive
generation in the world today?
Generate your ideas through your own means of artistic expression and
submit to {m}22.

Announcing drepoetic 2.0 December 19, 2008
Posted by Adrien in reflections.add a comment
Hello you cool people,
I apologize for not posting anything in the last week. A couple of things have been happening that are gently encouraging me to re-organize my life energy, just in time for the new year.
I have been meaning to redesign this blog for a while. I am going to make good on this directive so come January 4, 2009, expect a new and exciting blog with, I hope, better consistency and some keener features (for example, more of my own poetry and writing). During this holiday season I will be posting, but only sporadically.
Happy holidays everyone and I hope your 2008 closes off with magic.
Thanks for sticking around.

We’re teaming up Asian American musicians with Asian American filmmakers to make music videos to premiere at an event in February 2009 with the possibility of entry into a competitive event in March. Last year’s competition was sponsored by the Center for Asian American Media and the videos competed for a spot in the 2008 San Francisco Asian American Film Festival.
The videos from the 2008 DIY event can be viewed at http://www.asianamericanmedia.org/videos/ under Locus Arts Do It Yourself Music Video Contest.

Filipino Americans have long been proud of our ability to assimilate into American society. Decades of colonization helped ensure that Filipinos buy into the American Dream completely.
