mang kepweng

My name is Maya Calica, and some of my friends call me Manang Kepweng because of my fascination with holistic healing. I am a writer, magazine editor, published novelist, dreamer, yogini, traveler, blogger, cartoonist, dancer, walker, runner, daughter, sister, partner and friend. Check out my professional website at www.mayacalica.com.

My hope is that you find joy, enlightenment, humor, healing and soul food right here. My borrowed name was inspired by Al Magat’s comic character Mang Kepweng, a village albolaryo (medicine man) as I take great interest in matters of emotional health and am a believer in the mind-body connection. The character was played by Chiquito in a couple of movies. Any similarities between me and Chiquito’s character are purely coincidental.

    Dear Maya,

    I have been reading your blog for two weeks now and I must say, you do really inspire me! I’ve heard so much about you from my friend Jiki. She has had only glowing words about you!

    I have met you before but I don’t think you remember as we worked for different magazines then. I do hope someday I am able to meet you and have ‘sunset wisdoms’ with you too.

    You are a beautiful person. I hope you do know that.

    Joely Ann xx

  6. hi maya..

    nice read. and i remember the cartoon in me when i drove you and rina home one evening..

    sitcom 1.
    me : driving. with shades by the visor, forever hanging.
    rina : you can turn left here.
    me : ok. (shades kept on falling from the visor, but again placed it back in there, as always)
    maya : hey…hindi ka ba naiilang sa shades mo while driving?
    me : nah..nasanay na din ako, kaya ko binabalik sa visor (serious mode)
    rina/maya : HAHAHAHAHA (my car created the loudest subwoofer and midrange laughter that instant)..

    have fun gurl…it’s been awhile ;)
