Maybe someone will ask, why with the name "Yanak Anak om Bongkoron"?


This name is actually inspired from the folklore stories by my late grandmother. She used to visit and spend the night in our house sometimes on her long journey to 'tomu' and usually we grandkids will surround her to beg and listen for her never-ending stories.


One of the many stories was about this lad, somewhat a hero, who likes adventures so much he often encounter evils such as Bongkoron and Pondogon. Good things also happen to Yanak Anak, as he once witness some girls from heaven bathing in a river ... which ends with Yanak Anak marries one of the girls.


There were lots of stories from my late grandmother, who 'instructed' us to call her 'tina', which actually means 'mother' as she persists to be a 'mother' to us, her grandkids ...

Gisom no hiti maan ku posuango do baino.
