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 computer.

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.

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, [...]
