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 [...]

Earlier today I was at a university in Lucena giving a talk about my career in comics. I had a really great time.

When I was very young, time seemed to move really slow. I remember being seven for years. Now that I’m older, time seems to be moving really fast. I guess it’s because I’m working now. When I was young I didn’t have a care in the world. I could afford to see how slowly a [...]

November is just around the corner and pretty soon, it’s 2012! 2011 has been another eventful year for me personally. A LOT of changes.
