Ozine Fest 2009

Visited my first ever anime convention while searching for local komiks/ indy manga/ doujin. I've got two posts on this: the more professional article is at Bahay Talinhaga while the more rambling, personal impressions (and more pics) are at my livejournal account.

[BaTa] Review: Philippine Speculative Fiction IV (2 of 4)

The second batch of reviews is up at Bahay Talinhaga. The post contains my thoughts on the following stories:

• "The Day that Frances, the Copywriter, Became God" by Monique Francisco
• "A Retrospective on Diseases for Sale" by Charles Tan
• "Sky Blue" by Celestine Trinidad
• "All We Need is Five Meals a Day" by Jose Elvin Bueno
• "The Sewing Project" by Apol Lejano-Massebieau
• "Dreams of the Iron Giant" by Joseph F. Nacino

Once again, thanks to the authors for sharing the wonderful stories ^_^
