FIRST PUBLIC STORYTELLING


My first ever public storytelling with ALITAPTAP STORYTELLERS PHILIPPINES! It was a volunteer thing but who cares?! It wasn't a booklaunch in powerbooks or sumtin but it was way better. I love storytelling to KIDS. It's fun and gives you that nice feeling of being able to somehow teach kids (this time streetkids). I don't care if i dont get paid for storytelling forever, I will still be a good storyteller. I WILL!

I even met Kuya BDJIE of batibot. SUper nice with a great sense of humor. He even promised to give us a workshop on storyellin.



NICE NICE. We did a chamber telling of ang Binibining Tumalo sa Mahal na Hari.

super cool. It was in an art exhibit/street party on Galleria Duemila in Pasay City.Daming foreigners, writers, some tv personalities like Robin da Rosa and a couple of other known people. Then thr street kids near the big houses were invited to the party where free street food were available--from hotdogs, squidballs, popcorn, chocolait, corn, mangoes, buko pandan and gulaman. DAMI!. Kinda great actually.



Im learning so much from the expwerts of storytelling. I promise to hone whatever skills I have in this art. At least sobrang napatawa ko naman ynug mga bata in playing the DATU in the said story. COOL.

It was an art exhibit so it was like a cocktail party thus we, the storytellers (including kuya BOdjie) were SO SO underdressed for the event. Still, we made the children laugh and gave them a good time than the other performers haha!

COOL COOL!
