What resulted was the classic eco-fable The Man Who Planted Trees, which told of the inspiring story of a man who through sheer persistence and diligence, brings hope to a once desolate and devastated province. <p>That story later moved CANVAS to publish the story of Elias & His Trees, a Filipinized adaptation of Giono's inspiring tale, and now, to work with Ilustrador ng Kabataan (INK) in launching the Elias Dakila Competition for Children's Storywriting on Environment and Culture. <p>This year, the contest seeks to inspire writers to come up with original short stories for children (ages 6-8) that celebrate the environment and/or Philippine culture, and which are suitable as big, read-aloud books ideal for sharing or reading to groups of children. <p>The winner will receive a P25,000 cash prize. Deadline for entries is 5pm, Manila time, January 31, 2006. <p>For more details, and to download the rules, please visit <a href="http://www.canvas.ph/upcoming_events.htm" target=blank>http://www.canvas.ph/upcoming_events.htm</a>. <p>Thank you and kindly pass this announcement to people you think might be interested. <p>Best regards, -- CANVAS & Ang I.N.K. false Midori 2005-11-24T13:32:11+08:00 2005-11-24T05:32:11Z 2005-11-24T05:32:11Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75792.post-113281033176630339 during a bar-hopping spree in timog

His novel A Long Way Down was shortlisted for the £30,000 Whitbread award in a series of surprise decisions which swept aside authors seen elsewhere as this year's strongest. <p> . . . . The "very strong novels" by Ishiguro, Barnes, McEwan, Zadie Smith and Banville had all had their champions but had been shot down by persuasive counter-arguments in the judging panel. Gregory added: "We all agreed on our top favourite but I am not allowed to tell you what it is. I have not even told my husband, who is desperate to put a bet on."</blockquote> <p> Full story from the Guardian <a href="http://books.guardian.co.uk/whitbread2005/story/0,16517,1643537,00.html">here</a>. false wrycell 2005-11-15T17:07:00+08:00 2005-11-15T10:07:47Z 2005-11-15T09:08:21Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75792.post-113204570194082208 yo, joe! happy birthday, lolo jose! yo, joe! happy birthday, lolo jose!<br> <img src="http://www.collectablekingdom.com/images/new_gijoe_logo.jpg"> false Midori 2005-11-07T17:26:31+08:00 2005-11-07T09:26:31Z 2005-11-07T09:26:31Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75792.post-113135559149300249 Dreaming on the page with Haruki Murakami

From this week's My Favorite Book contest in PhilStar:

I recognize that despite the various genres he has explored, Murakami has a tendency to repeat himself. But I have yet to encounter another writer who could bend my mind, deal a sharp blow to my heart, and cause me to laugh out loud like this in one sitting.
