Over the years, I’ve had my poetry and feature stories on various advocacies and travels published in several broadsheets and magazines (complete with photos of being kissed by a baby elephant). Lately though, I’ve taken an inkling in writing about the local football scene, which is at a very interesting period in its history.
(And I’d also like to think I’m providing a uniquely female voice to make the sport more palatable to a significant number of the football-supporting population in the Philippines. Yeah, I just like to think that.)
Here are some published works in 2011 (all in good fun—and no, I am not in love with Phil Younghusband):
Phil Younghusband: Daring to Dream
Sleepless in Bacolod: The View from the Stands in Panaad
Azkals fans—and fangirls—await Stephan Schrock’s return
