Translated, this question meant how many hours in a day does she spend writing. The answer she gave me was this: "Halos hindi na ako tumatayo."Grabe. No wonder she's last years second most prolific writer. This year she claims that she'll get number one. I believe her.

sa tuwing makakaisip ako ng series idea, ang una kong ginagawa ay ang proposal ko para sa cover layout. hindi ko alam kung bakit. siguro dahil mas visual akong tao.over the years, may mangilan-ngilan na rin akong naisip na serye pero lahat nasa utak ko pa rin hanggang ngayon. isa pa lang ang natatapos ko. sapilitan pa dahil nagkasubuan na kaya kailangang kumpletuhin.five is to one ang ratio ko.

Finally I was able to get my hands on a canson mi-teintes board. Sabi kasi 'yon daw ang bagay sa soft pastel. Sa NBS ako nakabili, sa pinaka-bottom shelf ng cartolina rack ko nakita. Medyo gusot na nga kasi luma na. Obvious na non-moving stock ng tindahan. Anyways, pinatulan ka pa din. Kaysa naman dumayo pa ako sa Recto. Doon lang kasi ang alam kong lugar na may art store.So there I was merrily

tungkol sa spot the difference.i was able to talk with sonia francesca earlier. ang unang sinabi ko sa kanya ay ang tungkol sa mga libro namin na tila iisa ang illustration. ganito pala ang nangyari. may option kasi kami bilang writer na magbigay ng pictures (usually cut-outs from magazines) na gagamiting basis ng illustrator para maging cover ng mga libro namin. ganoon ang ginawa ni sonia.

i'm a huge fan of House, MD. ever seen that show? well i just looove the guy. of all the episodes i've seen so far--season 2, episode 2 is by far the most poignant and the most inspiring.it's also the most disturbing graphic-wise. i had to cringe a couple or so times. one was when they had to drill andie's head and the second when her eyes got all bloody (notice the patch)... for a more detailed

I saw this book called 52 Fights: A Newlyweds Confession by author Jennifer Jeanne Patterson -- I want a copy! As in badly.It brought to mind this series idea that I cooked up light years ago.

I bawled my eyes out yesterday morning. Nag-follow up ako ng manuscript at ang sabi sa akin for revision (again!) yung pinasa ko. Double revision na siya bale. This is a first for me. Hindi ko talaga siya inaasahan. And I really felt bad about it. Ang resulta, waterworks. That's me, Ang laki-laki kung tao pero sobrang iyakin ko.I felt frustration plus disappointment plus the dread of asking

I've forgotten how much I used to love this song until I heard it again recently in an episode of Kevin Hill. But the version they used wasn't as upbeat as the version I remember. Theirs was of a much slower tempo, more ballad-yEitherway, the positive message of the lyrics still come's across. Perfect to listen to when you feel blaah. Definitely a feel good song.Originally done by The Five

Finally, I was able to watch Da Vinci Code earlier today. `Didn't like it much. I believe the film version's a poor adaptation of the book. Too many details were omitted or changed altogether. It was confusing at best. Had I not read the book I would never have understood the film.
