<p>The compilation of this bilingual English-Pilipino Dictionary with more of less 20,000 word entries, is another monumental success of its author, Vito C. Santos, a leading and multi-awarded Pilipino lexicographer. This dictionary, like his first Vicassan's Pilipino-English Dictionary is, undeniably, an important and meaningful response to the need of editors, writers, researchers, language translators, teachers, scholars, students and even of the common readers, be they Pilipino or foreigner. In this dictionary, not only the meanings of entries are reliably clear, but also their parts of speech, and are provided with sample phrases and sentences to make clear their uses. Hindi marahil magiging kulabisan na hangarin nating maihandog ng may akda na sa susunod na pagkakataon, ay isa namang diksiyunaryong ang mga salita at kahulugan ay sa sariling wika, alalaon baga'y isang diksiyunaryong monolingguwal sa Pilipino.</p>

Collected here are sensate stories sourced mainly in the hollow pit of the belly where a great hunger rages and a love for words takes root. (The) stories here are not easy pieces: the problematic mesh consciousness, language, and time somehow frames their narratives markedly, and the act of writing gets into the act; but always, stray mystifications or nervous profundities are toned down or else humored; and always the startling image is well-observed and the writer's aim is disarmingly true... -from the introduction

From THE BEST OF BARFLY by Butch Dalisay She pointed to the sky--an overwhelming blanket of the deepest blue, sequined with a million stars, as only the unsullied air of a small provincial town can yield in this purest of hours. Up there, glimmering like a bridal veil, was a comet...There it was, I thought, passing through airless space in absolute silence. How could such great and wondrous objects make no sound? ["Getting the goat"]

"The pain of being a man is a theme which men would rather not dwell on, but when one is reflecting on one's condition in midlife, that is almost impossible, For most of these men, delving into and baring their inner lives is a daring first-time experience. No one is diminished in his manhood; each one proves to be an engaging human being... Here are gems of glimpses into men's inner lives that we will find nowhere else except in good fiction." -from the Foreword by Mariel N. Francisco

Jaime Livauco's "yearning to know" and his collection of clear, prolific writings are a great gift to us all--they have greatly benefited his public in the past and are continuing to do so. Now, with this new book, I see that the author's decision to share his personal experiences is part of a natural progression to the next level. The variety of stories is satisfying, the honesty that he shares with his readers is stunning. and I know that everyone who picks up this book will have an enlightening experience. As an old and dear friend of Jaime Licauco, a fellow writer and a fan, I can only say that the title 'When the Impossible Happens: Confessions of a Reluctant Psychic' serves a dual purpose. The unfolding of the fantastic events of his life is the first part--though they often seem impossible, clearly, they are not. The fact that he has finally agreed to tackle the challenge of opening himself to the world, is yet another courageous and impossible task that is now coming into fruition. I enjoyed reading this inspiring book immensely and so will you. -From the Foreword by Andrea Cagan (Author of Awakening the Healer Within)
