ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

It is my great expression of genuine gratitude to everyone who supported me throughout my journey as a poet. My dreams of becoming a poet would not be possible without these people in my life.

A special thanks to my ever faithful family. To my father, my mother, my siblings, in-laws, nephews, and nieces: your unconditional love and prayer gave me strength and a solid hope in life.

A salute to my truthful teachers during high school and college days. To ma’am Lucille Ritardo who taught me how to write my first poem and to ma’am Loreta Sol Dinlayan who exposed me more about poetry from which I learned to write my first acrostic poem: a lot of thanks to both of you.

A handshake to my fair friends. To my peers and people who come, go or stay but touches my life in one way or another: you inspired me a lot.

Above all, I give honor and glorify His overflowing and unending love and blessings. To God, You are the Greatest.
