My favorite so far. And it's probably because I have no idea how it's going to end "fortunately ".

"good read"

I'm a big fan of love stories, so I was A LITTLE disappointed that the ending kept me hanging. I'm not really into open endings, actually. (But that's another story).

I like the message of the graphic novel. But maybe another title would be more apt than Martial Law Babies. Something lighter, maybe. Since it was a fairly easy reading.

It's like a looong essay. Or a super-short novel. Something you could read in a newspaper.


Funny how you're blessed with national pride only when you're thousands of miles away from this place, while everyone else I know living here would take the first plane out if they had the chance.

I need to catch up to Manix' Kikomachine Komix. Fast.

Mostly "ka-kornihan". That's always amusing.

But what really stuck to me was the truth behind all those funny statements.

“Pakiramdam ko e andami kong naiisip na dehins magawa dahil alang deadline. Nasanay ata ko sa school tsaka sa trabaho na lahat may deadline. E yung nga naiisip ko tuloy na sariling projects di ko matapos kasi walang deadline.”
