Brandie got me this book for Christmas.
And he got it for two reasons:
1. Because the book cover looked cool.
2. And because it has the same title as a story made by the TAGG boys.

Brandie scanned the "atom" design and used it as the main design element of the gift wrapper.
That yellow atom on a red background is now in my cubicle.
It's sort of my icon or sigil.
To remind me to focus.
That there can be power in something so small.

Other Voyager Classsics are now available at Powerbooks. Makes me want to collect all of them just because they would all look so cool on my bookshelf. All of them are priced at P339 even though some are thicker than others. Makes me want to get a new copy of Neuromancer... just because.

Sci-fi is a forgotten love for me.
One of the books that I read back in the summer of `93 was this thick sci-fi anthology from around the world.
I ended writing one of my only sci-fi stories. Hope to get that published one of these days.

Around a month ago, someone asked me and Gerry to develop a sci-fi story.
I wrote something. Passed it. Then felt that it didn't really feel right.
I'm planning to re-write it this weekend.

It's Palanca season again.
I should really start work on that story for their Future Fiction category.

Hi all! If you have somehow stumbled upon this old blog looking for something TRESE related, then you've come to right place.   Well... kind of.   Hi!

And here's a picture of me about to enter a balate tree... it's not the Great Balete Tree and it did not transport me to another realm. But it wa

PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living
