What a way to lose the plot. I had all these plans to do a bit of marketing on the book, which by the way, has been getting some love for the cover (please very much judge my book by the cover art), thanks to Rombutan for saying yes and…
Leave a commentMakikilala niyo na sina Dante, Raya, Keebs, at Pong! So excited for you. Matagal kong tinrabaho ang “side project” na ‘to at inilaban ang mga minutong makapagsulat kahit madaming distractions sa buhay. Ang nobela ko ay nasa young adult category at maituturing na urban fantasy. Tungkol ito sa dalawang college…
Leave a commentHello, I’m in Dublin! I’m on the ground floor of my new digs. There’s squirrels or maybe chipmunks (I haven’t researched yet), this black bird with a white tummy and a royal blue tail, and this chunky maya-looking bird with the red-orange chest. And there’s trees and shrubs and a…
Leave a commentIpinanganak at lumaki akong kaliwete, primarily dahil tinamad na ang mga magulang ko na korekin ako tulad ng ginawa nila sa kapatid ko. Hindi ko naman masabi kung for better or worse ang desisyon na ‘yon dahil wala naman akong panilip sa mga parallel universe kung saan right-handed ako. Wala…

Leave a commentWell then, I’ve had more social interactions in the past month than the two years that went before it. Yet somewhere people’s worlds are falling apart. It is hard to be perma-happy when you’re perma-informed. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be or that you can’t try. Here, with half…
Leave a commentThere was this scene in the first episode of BBC’s Sherlock where Sherlock does a Sherlock guessing Watson’s sibling’s life circumstances by taking one look at the phone he’s using. The phone had several scuff marks near the charging port and Sherlock somehow deduced that only a person with shaky…
Leave a commentI felt like I needed to write something because this month has been hella weird in the best way possible but I forgot what it was I wanted to say and so maybe for now I’ll just talk about how when I went out to run again I could not…
2 commentsHello, I’m back. I finished the last edits to Pangkantong Gabay sa Pagiging Ganap, a Tagalog novel set in the end-of-the-world hysteria of 1999, and shipped it out to someone who will at some point decide whether they want to edit my work or not. Then comes pitching/querying, yadda yadda.…
