Rambol #1 Review
Jun 16First and foremost, Sacred Mountain’s Rambol komiks was sized smaller than the typical comic book. This was also my first time to encounter a flipbook format meaning this one has two covers and two stories – namely Metropolitan and Alagad Inc. Since this this the first issue, both stories simply introduces (or, in Metropolitan’s case, reintroduces) the main characters. Gilbert...

Nostalgia
Jun 11My first encounter with Pinoy komiks was way back 1986. I was just 5 years old at the time. I remember that my first one was Funny komiks. My mom bought it for me when i was sick. I got hooked since then that I always asked my Mama to buy me new issues every week (since comics back then were circulated weekly). I exclusively read Funny komiks until I discovered other titles such as Bata Batuta...
Next Time, Baby
Jun 11
Thankfully, I did get the chance to watch Iron Man. The recent typhoon which hit us, my work shortly thereafter, and my many other activities just delayed this entry. Anyway, here goes: First, it might be too early to say this but I think Iron Man will be the best movie of 2008 – at least for me, that is. Iron Man is really an awesome film. I got to read a handful of positive reviews about...
The Dream Giver
Jun 07
A friend recently loaned me a copy of Bruce Wilkinson’s the Dream Giver. It took me days before I got to finish reading it and it wasn’t because the book was hard to read – in fact, its one of the easiest books I’ve ever read. It was mainly because we still didn’t have electricity at home at the time. I brought the book with me each time I went out and read it each chance I get. The...
Forge Comics
May 31I recently dropped by the local BookSale store to browse books but found Forge comics # 11 instead. It was an old issue released way back 2003 by Cross Gen comics and it was a trade paper back edition. It contained 7 stories and it had 192 full color pages. The cover price indicated that it was originally priced US $7.95 (around Php 318) but because it was on sale, they sold it for only Php 40.00...
Two Songs in Two Days
May 27We experienced living without electricity for a few days here in our city because of the typhoon. It proved to be a blessing, however, because in between service projects (distributing goods, helping people build temporary shelters), our band had the chance to sit together and jam longer with an acoustic guitar and a cajon. Because of that, we were able to write two songs in two days (May 22 and...
