How to act sober sa iba’t ibang scenario ng buhay middle-class sa Pinas. Kaya natin ‘to, mga kapatid!
That is, naniwala na sila sa wakas. Nakailang request din ako na oo ako ‘to. Check out the three-star review, ang cute. Ang bait din ni C.L. Balagoza sa paglagay ng review niya from Facebook to Goodreads. In fairness sa shelves ko, mukhang tinangka ko talagang ilagay lahat ng librong…
Leave a commentWhat 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 commentThis week was pretty amazing. I did not expect the volume of congratulatory messages I got on my social media announcement, but mostly because I have forgotten that I did know these many people. I’m relatively old. I’ve lived so many lives. So. Many. Lives. One day I will write…

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 commentsI once took pride in myself buying 99-peso earphones (the really old Creative ones that play mono because hey no time for a splitter) from the Octagon Superstore and making do until it gives up on me, which is, because 99 pesos, fairly fast. I’m notorious for buying really bad…
Leave a commentIsang linggo akong nagka-gastroenteritis. A little queasiness, a little low-grade fever, tapos stinging hot diarrhea nang limang araw. Masakit, nakakabwisit. Dahil nagbabadya ang pagbabanyo bawat sandali at nakagapos ako sa tanikala ng sakit ng paghilab ng tyan at pagsisisi sa pagkain ng kung anuman ‘yun na hindi ko maalala, tumambad…
