Filed Under Filipino Artists | 3 Comments

Whilce Portacio has a new official site! WHILCE PORTACIO http://www.whilceportacio.net/ I remember Whilce’s first official site, Whilce.com, which was active during the time of Stone. I wonder what happened to it. You could download a Whilce Portacio Stone desktop theme and other cool stuff. Actually, I still have that Stone desktop theme somewhere in my [...]

Hanna, I Hate You

Filed Under General, My Comics | 2 Comments

I’m not really looking forward to going to Manila today. Normally I would, but after that really miserable day last week when we had to go to Manila on a rainy day, amidst traffic and flood, it almost made me swore off going to Manila at all. I wish I had that luxury. Today we [...]

A Great Time for Philippine Comics

Filed Under Philippine Comics | 7 Comments

One of the things that make me excited about Sterling Paper entering publishing comics is that not only will comics will be more widespread beyond Metro Manila, I was also hoping that it could encourage other companies to invest in comics. As I’ve always mentioned before, a lot of us have been making comics in [...]

Allright Johnny, I’m doing this only because you’re one of my good pals. he.he. I remember doing things like this when I was in elementary. Who would have thought it would make a great comeback in the Internet age? But it’s fun, in a strange sort of way. It keeps you from growing up a [...]

Solar Catastrophe (This is IT, We’re Doomed)

Filed Under General | 16 Comments

Our friendly neighborhood pirated cable signal has pretty much confirmed that there’s something wrong with our sun. This probably explains why it’s raining a lot. I don’t know how long this outage will last, but I hope it passes quickly because I’m starting to hate all this rain.

The Harrowing Trip Back Home

Filed Under Movies | 15 Comments

Something happened on the way home to San Pablo, after I spent a day in Manila last Saturday. I taught comics at The College of St. Benilde in the morning, chatted with a friend in Makati in the afternoon, then caught a bus for the long trip home. I was very tired, sleepy and hungry, [...]

I’m not sure where this is, so [...]

Saturday in Manila, Caparas Komiks

Filed Under Philippine Comics | 3 Comments

Waking up at 4 in the morning so I can leave for Manila at 5 am can be a serious pain. I’ve never liked leaving the house that early. I guess it just feels strange. To get to school at 8:00 at least, which would give me enough time to settle down and prepare, I [...]

Why It’s Hard To Shut Up

Old pal Ferres left a comment a while back: “But Gerry looks cute. You kinda want to pet him… until he starts ranting that is. ;P” He.he. I actually laughed at that. Thanks man! I actually know Ferres from waaaay back. He’s one of the very first people I met in comics, long before I [...]

And Now For Something Completely Shallow…

Filed Under General | 7 Comments

Had myself a laugh when this suddenly appeared on our TV. I was amused, but a little bothered as well. “Telkomvision”? I’ve long been dissatisfied with our cable service. I used to watch CSI regularly, but now I can’t. Because our AXN’s signal is terrible. Halfway through the show, the signal would pixelate and would [...]
