Ozine Fest 2009: Tales of an Anime Con n00b
I've never been to an anime convention before, largely because while I pounce on the occasional figurine (or drill-bit) when my love for the series is strong enough, all I really look for are products with story/narratives, and that's usually more the province of komikon (our local comics convention) rather than an anime con.
Still, I'd heard there ( Read more... ) -
A Launching, A Book
I've been hunkered down for the past few days, trying to create a pair of stories to submit here and here by the 31st of March, so I haven't had time to post anything personal about book launch of A Time for Dragons (although I managed to get an event post up for Bahay Talinhaga). I thought I'd do a more personal sharing about the launch, and show ( Read more... ) -
New Website and (semi)New Story
When I made the decision to put up an epublishing house and finish my novel, I knew I'd be spending a lot of time in libraries doing research into old books (partly for the novel, partly to find some old tomes which I might conceivably acquire the e-rights to) and I thought it'd be a shame if I kept all that data to myself.

The Antidote for a Hellish Week
Work has ground me to the bone this week - seriously, if I had just been told first hand how anal-attentive I would have to be to be a good lawyer, how much parallel-processed multi-tasking I'd have to do, and how much anger-repressing I'd need... Well, I still would have become a lawyer, but at least I wouldn't have had any illusions that I'd be a ( Read more... ) -
Writing the Other: Privilege and Discrimination in Spec Fic
I think most everyone knows that I'm a writer. Most of you also know that I'm Filipino, which, I suppose, in the eyes of everyone but Stephen Colbert makes me "colored."
...
It's strange to even write that. I have some small experience with discrimination, but as I tend to avoid traveling as if it were a sexually transmitted disease (i.e. something ( Read more... )
