The Chronicler
Launched in Ayala Museum, the idea of a Chronicler began in 1991 when my second son was about to turn a year old. My husband and I made it a tradition to give a birthday party to our children where friends and family could gather. I finally decided to ask his grandparents if they could give their gifts in the form of a letter addressed to him. I explained that the letters they will give will be kept and given to him when he is older and more able to appreciate its meaning and significance to his own life.
Based from the letters I have read, I then wondered what the experience will be like if they were asked about their while life from the earliest memory they had as a child. their favorite teacher, their successes and failures, the lessons they have learned as they grew older.
Thus the idea of the book "The Chronicler" was born.
The Chronicler is loosely defined as a memoirist and an autobiographer. Based then on this definition, it is the hope that through answering the questions found inside the book, the writer becomes a Chronicer of his own work.
The Chronicler will create his own journal of memories, pass on lessons he had learned to the next generation, recall a pastiche of events on his own life that could illuminate, inspire and prod the next generation to create a richer, far more fulfilling life.This book will become a lasting legacy to a life once lived with passion, agonizing waste or unparalleled fulfillment. It is meant to be written in pain as well as joy because life is lived with both in abundance.
Moreover, it is the sincerest desire of this author that the words written by the Chronicler will not be written hurriedly, for this will be a document which will be passed on to their children's children as a testament to the life they had once lived.
