The Creative Machine Camp! Oct. 16-17, 2004 Fairmount, Antipolo

If you know 6-12 year old boys and girls who like fun and new experiences, the Creative Machine Camp is for them!

There will be arts and crafts, hand & mural painting, storytelling, music making, creative writing, theater, street dancing, hiking, star gazing and of course, a camp fire! An exhibit and family day will end the camp.

To all you 7 million readers of this blog, please pass this on :) Let kids create. There are so many amazing things they can do. And yep, I'm directing the camp together with Teacher Rex, Teacher Vlad and other teachers/storytellers.

Visit Our House for more details.

We need Camp Aides. If you like kids and don't mind messing up your shirt with paint or dirt, leave your email here and I'll get back to you. A modest honorarium will be given to accepted Aides.

2,700.00 camp fee includes food and accommodations, materials, kit, camp shirt/art smock and art work framing. 15% Discount for first 10 kids. Limited slots only.

We have an in-house physician and 24-hr security. Fairmount is a peaceful, executive village in Antipolo near Town & Country and Barrington Heights.

Also, if you just like kids and you want to hang out during the camp, you're most welcome. Just bring cookies and milk for everyone :) Oh and an extra shirt too (in case, you decide to splatter the wall with finger paints too).

In other news, I'll be off to Cagayan de Oro this Sunday til Friday next week. I've been busy preparing for the camp and the workshop in CDO the whole week that my life has been transformed to a work-go home/sleep-work routine.

It's surprising though that I managed to finish three books in five days:

"The Pleasure of My Company" by Steve Martin - I had high expectations of it--but. I'll leave it at that.

"The Time-traveller's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger - a film version of it would be nice, I think. It had its moments. Again, I won't say much.

"The Wind-up Bird Chronicles" by Haruki Murakami - Mahusay! (Murakami's an all-time favorite)

Now, i'm trying to finish Chabon's "Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay".

It's better this way. Drown myself with the drone of others' words than my own.
