I’ve decided to “reconstitute” the Korakora listserv and see how it can stand as platform for a more internally-focused discussion and planning for the KURO Satellites.
I’m thinking of going to General Santos City and work with the artists’ community there for a KURO Satellite. It is only a possibility and I wish that it can […]

This is probably the third day I’ve been having asthma attacks, difficulty breathing, although it has gotten better by just drinking plenty of water.

I have placed the photos in my Small Gallery and told the students about it. I am so happy that sharing the photos […]

Gemma is preparing her things to leave on the 15th. She will be working somewhere else while waiting for her papers for work in the Middle East. I have been advising her about closely scrutinizing the employers/recruiters. I was also very depressed by news earlier of the possibility of Alwin moving to the US in […]
