Last night, before heading back to Manila for work, I went to my old [former] school (not that I'm in a new one right now) with one of my closest friends, Angus. It was the Ikatlong Gawad Digmaang Rosas Literary Awards Night (organized by The Angelite, the official student publication of Holy Angel University. ) My friend Angus had submitted an entry to the said competition. I came there to give him moral support.
As expected, he grabbed the Angelite Fictionist of the Year award (The entries were judged by a Palanca-winner poet from UST.) I am very proud of him, and am happy that he won. This is the second time he had won the award. I had the opportunity of being one the first people to have read his entries (short stories and poems.) When I laid eyes on his works, I knew right away that he would win; I was certain about it.
Some say that it takes a writer to know one. I say, not really. One doesn't have to be a good writer to recognize one, and to be able to appreciate what we consider as good writing.

Congratulations Angs! You so deserve it. Keep on writing.
