Christine Bellen, author of the famous Mga Kuwento Ni Lola Basyang series, visited. Took her to lunch at M.'s cafe. Gave her my acrylic painting titled Waiting for Halloween, my green witch head candle holder, a pair of anthropomorphic clay figures from Palawan, a mama-oh necklace from Ifugao, an antique bead necklace with kendi beads, a bead necklace by a famous bead maker in Ubud, Bali, an authentic Yakan xylophone purchased during a Spirit Quest in Zamboanga many years ago, my miniature busts of Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio, my big, antique, Maranao sarimanok, a three-ink-bottle rack with bottles engraved "Dove's Blood", "Dragon's Blood", and "Nightshade", a dip pen with a carved, wooden handle from Pendemonium of Iowa, hardbound, coffee table books, and a carved, wooden Santo Nino de Cebu. We have too many interests in common, whew! Strangely, our ground floor STILL looks crowded.
