58 Minutes in Driftland: New Pinoy Sci-Fi Adventure Novel on Amazon

Looking for something exciting to read on Kindle books from Amazon? Grab a copy of “58 Minutes in Driftland,” the new sci-fi adventure novel written by Filipino writer I.S.A. Crisostomo-Lopez.



The story revolves around Alunsinag Bayani, a 17-year-old Filipino immigrant in the US who is trying to find his place in the world. His mother Mercedes or “Chedeng” Bayani is a nurse who works at a community hospital in Los Angeles, while his father Artemio “Miyo” Bayani is a travel writer who is mostly out of town on assignment to feature endangered plants or animals.

Alunsinag or “Al” as his friends call him, faces many adventures with his two best friends, Ming Ju-long, a Chinese immigrant from Hong Kong, and Tej Ondrej, an Indian immigrant from Bangalore.


Driftland is an alternative realm where childhood dreams and nightmares exist. The adventure begins when Alunsinag accidentally steps into Driftland and discovers he can switch places with his alternate, more efficient self for 58 minutes. The switch opens doors to discovering one's strengths and regaining confidence in one’s abilities.

“58 Minutes in Driftland” is a modern allegory on a person’s journey to self-realization and the battle between good and evil. It is also a coming of age story which explores current issues facing young people today like belongingness and discrimination, standing up to bullies, discovering one’s potential, and falling in love.   

On an interesting note, the author I.S.A. Crisostomo-Lopez is a stay-at-home mother who has retired after 17 years of office work. She revealed that she composes story ideas in her mind while doing the laundry, changing diapers or mopping the floors. She is based in Binan City, Laguna, Philippines with her husband, four children and two dogs.

“58 Minutes in Driftland” is available in both digital and paperback editions on amazon.com.

Karate-do: The Belt System

Hi! It’s me, Vince. Are you into any kind of sports or martial arts activities? If you’re asking me, I’m into martial arts, particularly Karate-do since last year. I find this a fun way of exercise, a way of learning self-defense as well as self-discipline. Aside from I mentioned earlier the benefits I acquire from Karate-do mom also shared a post on her blog the Healthy Dose of Karate-do . In my year of this sport, I am already a yellow belt holder which I gained on the 7 th day of February of this year. Do you know how to level up in Karate-do and the significance of belt colors? If not, I’m going to talk below the belt system of karate-do and how to achieve the next rank. The color of Karate-do belts signifies the student’s level of expertise. Colors used are white, yellow, orange, blue, green, purple, brown and black. To earn the next belt rank and color karate-do student needs to undergo and pass the test just what I did.
