Highly-commended in Carers UK Creative Writing Competition

I am so happy to receive my copy of 'No one should have to care alone', an anthology of winning, highly-commended, and chosen poems and stories from Carers UK Creative Writing Competition 2015. My poem, For Ted, is highly commended in this competition which was judged by award winning poet, Cheryl Moskowitz.

The anthology

A note from the judge
This 93-pages book is perfectly bounded and feels quite good in your hands. I'd just had a quick look at some of the  poems and stories and I am still to read all its contents, but so far, it has surely given me a very good impression of what this anthology is like. Some of the writers here are newly published while others are already 'veterans' (and have had won competitions such as Bronte Society Competition), and have publications in magazines like The Rialto, Mslexia, and many more.

My poem, For Ted (highly-commended)

Creative Writing Competition (Carers UK)

I am glad to announce that my poem, For Ted, is highly commended in Creative Writing Competition (Carers UK).

The competition aims to give a different "perspective on what it means to care".

I'm happy to be included in their upcoming anthology. Also, I know that the simplicity but weight of the winning poem, After Diagnosis by Fiona Ritchie Walker, deserves to win.

Interestingly, I feel that this news is an early birthday gift for me (my birthday's tomorrow! :-0), and this news signals my lucky writing career in 2016!

Flying to the Philippines

I was quite anxious flying back to the Philippines for my AIDF programme. It was my first time flying alone and I'm not too keen on plan...
