I wish I had better news to report on this, but my stories were not deemed Clarion material for this year. Next time, next time.

Other goings on, I'm sad to say that my grandfather has passed. So I give my top 5 role models/inspirational characters in a movie because my Tatay Primitivo, that's a filipino name if I ever saw one, was a big part of how I came to be.

1. Obi Wan Kenobi - Need I say more?
2. Mr. Miyagi - No matter how much of an ass Daniel LaRusso acted, he was always there.
3. Gandalf - "You shall not pass!" Frodo gets all the credit.
4. Splinter - Good things do come in small packages and this package will up and kick your ass and may even give you rabies!
5. Benjamin " Uncle Ben" Parker - With great power, comes great responsibility. I think Manny Pacquiao even quoted him!




There you have it! You guys have any other role models/ inspirational characters from films? books? anything? Post them underneath!

RIP Tatay.
