Oks yung ilang sanaysay, lalong-lalo na yung personal niyang mga kuwento sa buhay niya sa probinsiya. Pero paborito ko yung naging karanasan nila ng kanyang katrabaho sa "Gabi ng Tukso at Gulo" kung saan naipit sila sa maraming mobilisasyon sa Maynila laban sa diktadura habang papunta sana sila sa "chicks." (Lol)

Solido rin ang ilan sa maikling kuwento niya rito, lalong-lalo na yung huling dalawang kuwento, ang "Alitaptap sa Gabing Maunos" (na kalaunan ay magiging pamagat ng koleksiyon ng kanyang maikling kuwento) at yung huling kuwento na masyadong marahas ang dating sa akin, yung "Dalit sa Dilim."
