A New Place, Kind Of.

Filed Under General, Inking, My Art, My Comics | 10 Comments

Last February 2, 2012, we moved out of our apartment to a new place. Well, it’s not exactly new, as it’s the house I used to live in before I got married. We didn’t plan on moving out just yet, but we realized that my parents were getting a little too old to live by [...]

Help For Sendong Flood Victims in Mindanao

Filed Under General | 2 Comments

Click for Larger Image Because even in times of great disaster, people can still use the occasion to scam other people, I’m naturally very picky about where to send donations. It’s difficult for me to trust random people who I don’t know, who for all I know are truly trustworthy. But the problem is, there’s [...]

Can I Send You Questions?

Filed Under General, My Art, My Comics | 2 Comments

There are times in the year when I get a flurry of emails from students asking to interview me for their projects and thesis. More often than not, they spread out at least 20 questions, many of which are similar between each other, requiring me to sit down and answer individually, typing the same things [...]

Thoughts on the RH Bill

Filed Under General | 14 Comments

The RH Bill is a hot topic in the Philippine for the past several months. In fact, it’s so hot that it’s become quite divisive, forcing many people, who would otherwise stay quiet, to draw the line. I’m one of them. This is not about comics, but I feel I need to offer my opinion [...]

Laughable.

Filed Under General | 5 Comments

When your objective arguments are countered by personal, fact deficient and anonymous attacks, it only indicates how laughably mentally deficient and pathetic these people are. They cannot argue logically or even rationally. So they attack. LAUGHABLE. I win. Hahaha! This is me. Laughing at YOU.

Lolcat

Filed Under Family, General | 7 Comments

This post has nothing to do with comics. This is just me thinking about things, as I would often do when my mind wanders. When I’m having lunch there’s this cat that hangs outside our backdoor wall, waiting to be fed. He’s not our cat. I don’t think he’s anyone’s cat. I’ve seen him around [...]

Lines are Being Drawn

Filed Under Family, General | 5 Comments

Ok, this post has nothing to do with comics. I really don’t talk about politics or religion in this blog, unless it has something to do with comics. But I would like to make an exception now. If talk of RELIGION puts you off or offends you in any way, please feel free to skip [...]

The Haircut

Filed Under General | 6 Comments

I’m quite surprised at the reaction my recent haircut has been getting. At the recent Komikon (post forthcoming), a few people made a big deal of it. A few people thought I was sick, and a few thought I was maybe giving a statement (since everything artists do must have some kind of profound reason). [...]

Open Letter to Teachers and Students

Filed Under General | 15 Comments

This is applicable mostly to English/Pilipino teachers and students in college, but it’s better to address this to English/Pilipino teachers and students in High School as well. It is during college that students are mostly required to look for resource persons outside of school for interviews, research and other similar activity. It is during this [...]

The Year That Was 2010

It’s the evening of January 1, 2011 as I write this, feeling slightly depressed. Unlike many people, I loved 2010 and I’m sad to see it go. I understand that 2010 was a bad year for a lot of folks, but it was a very good year for me. It’s quite a relief because 2007 [...]

An Epic Dream to End All Epic Dreams

Filed Under General | 3 Comments

Woke up at 5 in the morning and decided to continue my reading of Russell T. Davies’ “A Writer’s Tale”. I’m up to the chapter where he writes the finale to Doctor Who’s 4th Series and how he had to cut the origin of Davros, the creator of the Daleks. I found myself falling asleep [...]

Yes, Merry Christmas! Plus some Old Drawings.

Filed Under General, My Art, My Comics | 9 Comments

Hey everybody! Merry Christmas! Yes, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Because that’s what it is, isn’t it? Yes, it’s a happy holiday, but WHAT happy holiday? Valentines? New Year? Hanukkah? No, it’s CHRISTMAS! Why deny it? Why hide it? I continue to be flabbergasted that the evil claws of political correctness would have me reduce Christmas into something [...]

Talks

Filed Under General | 6 Comments

Last Friday I had a talk at the Lit Out Loud, or the Manila International Literary Festival, in celebration of the 14th Philippine Book Development month. I had a panel on “Breaking into Graphic Lit Scene” with Elbert Or, moderated by Carlo Vergara. Graphic Lit or Graphic Literature is the new fancy word for “comic [...]

Contacting Me

Hello. Thanks very much for the interest in contacting me. Because of the various works that I do, I receive a lot of correspondences with inquiries on a variety of things. I used to be able to answer them all, but it slowly got to the point that it’s difficult for me to respond fully [...]
