If I Had A Superpower

Filed Under General | 1 Comment

Ever since I was really small, there was only one superpower I ever wanted. I wanted to fly. I’ve always been fascinated by the sky. As a kid I dreamed that when I rode a plane, I’d take a paper bag with me so I can capture some clouds that I can bring home and [...]

The Root of All Things

Filed Under General | 9 Comments

People can’t help but want to control how other people live their lives. That’s it. Think very hard about that. It pretty much applies to every conflict, prejudice, bigotry and hate. It applies to everyone of every belief (and non-belief) be it religious or political. People just can’t help but want to control what others [...]

Comics Reading Today is so Different

Filed Under General | 6 Comments

Nowadays it’s only natural to see multiple page previews of comics coming out in two or three (or eve more) months. You know what the covers and what the first few pages would look like way in advance. In the 80′s during the height of my comic book fandom, we did get to see a [...]

Thinking about Asteroids, Meteors and the End of the World

Filed Under General | 7 Comments

Did you guys catch that awesome meteor that streaked through the skies of Russia last February 15? Wasn’t that just INSANE? Well, if you haven’t seen it yet… Again, I ask, wasn’t that just insane? The crazy thing is, nobody, not NASA scientists, not amateur skywatchers, not anybody knew this was coming until it burned [...]

This Despicable Wreck of a Society

Filed Under General | 6 Comments

Everywhere I go in this hometown of mine I see laws being broken left and right. Worse, they are being committed by people in power and those aspiring to be in power. This is most evident come election time, like right now. I have previously posted a link to the COMELEC rules and guidelines on [...]

Grumpy Old Man

Filed Under General | 6 Comments

More than a few people have said they were either scared or intimidated by me. I was never told in person, but always through a friend, or through Ilyn, or through a Facebook/Twitter post or blog entry. To be honest, I’m not really too surprised. I have been told I had this mean look in [...]

Unusual Memory

Filed Under General | 9 Comments

It was very traumatic for me to leave San Pablo in 1978 to study in Manila. All my friends were in San Pablo and I was very attached to this place (I still am). We moved into this apartment near V. Mapa High School in San Miguel. It was no fun there. The landlords felt [...]

Turning a Corner

Filed Under General | 1 Comment

During the first couple of weeks of September I was flat on my back in bed with the flu. I’ve had the flu lots of times before during my life, so it was just one of those things that I had thought would come and go and be quickly forgotten. Life just moves on. I [...]

Colorado Cinema Shooting

Filed Under General | 6 Comments

When I first heard the news the other day, I tried really hard not to think too much about it. I preoccupied myself with other things to keep myself from thinking about it, but now, today, I realized I could not get it out of my mind. For much of the night last night, I [...]

Francisco V. Coching for National Artist

Filed Under General | 2 Comments

You can read it below: Wanted: A national artist of the people http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=813758&publicationSubCategoryId=70 I think it goes without saying that I wholeheartedly support Francisco V.

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.
