Like grains of rice, Huseng Langgam’s collection of short stories—witty, humor-filled, or just plain
narrative—are all packed with lessons that are worth keeping and would really leave a trace in our hearts and minds. Thus, what makes them click really is their appeal to the masses. The common elements that run through the stories, which everyone can really relate with, are the key. Add-ons to 
Huseng’s collection are the author’s very own illustrations which also tell their own unique stories that really capture the imagination of the readers.

Thus, something to look forward to is the response of his readers. That’s right, Huseng’s collection also contains feedbacks from his readers for this collection is a compilation of what Kuya Jeff has sent, posted, and disseminated through the internet.

Inherent in this collection is a depiction of a modern day nationalist that shows through Huseng’s personality. Implied it may be yet it is good to see that there are still people among us who take pride in being Filipino.

They may be small like ant bites, but Kuya Jeff’s legacy of little stories is bound to make a lasting and positive impact on its readers and more so if the thread of feedbacks continue as a never-ending chain, thus resulting most likely in another volume.
