AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY

     It was a five-year affair that the blogger and the writer from Caba, La Union struggled for: to make the Ilokano-English magazine the most outstanding of its kind in the imagined country of Amianan. A great sacrifice of love for the language and the written word.
     It was, so to speak, an exercise in futility.

    

   


Quote from Henry David Thoreau:

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
