Year 2007ends finally! Welcome 2008!

2007 for me is a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes you're up and sometime you are down. It is a good thing that family-wise we are consistently happy. Business is so Crazy. I've learned alot about BAD business choices hehe. Had to close one within 6 months. That choice affected my komiks as well and we have to wait for this year to pass before we can put out some more issues. Here is hoping for a great year. 2008 is the year of the RAT. My year! Yeah!

As for resolutions? I have no plans of commiting to one. I'll just be the best I can be and hope luck gives me a break this year, for me and for my family's sake.

Cheers everyone!

Other animals in the 12 year Chinese cycle are - Tiger, Dragon, Horse, Monkey, Dog, Ox, Rabbit, Snake, Sheep, Rooster and this year's Pig.

The Chinese new year begins on February 7th. Until then, new babies are pigs. Their dad's, too, some mom's might say.

How old will you be this year? If your age can be divided by 12 into a round number then you are a Rat.

Changes

November is over and we've experienced a lot of events and changes within the month. We had to stop doing some of the things we've been doing for the last 6 months due to numerous factors and we felt it was excess baggage anyways. If we look at it in one way, it could be viewed as a huge setback. But after letting go, we've managed to get more time back for our kids and that in my opinion, is a very wonderful thing.

We are late with our titles, I am sad that they were not available during the Komikon this year but as my wife pointed out. Rushed work means more room for mistakes. I'm lucky to have a wise woman as my wife :)

Got to travel, my second time in Hong Kong. Here I was able to finish 2 new stories that I hope will get published next year. Sometimes, a good vacation is all you need to clear your head hehe. Everybody there thinks I am chinese so, they just start talking to me in chinese, my wife think that was funny and she had a hard time looking for me stating that I blend in there perfectly hehe. We did not bring our eldest who is just three and a half years old to Disneyland for one obvious reason, he won't remember most of the trip, an expensive one at that. 12 is the magic number for him.

Once we got back from the trip, our second son, Shawn's Birthday was held at the Grilla in Libis. Although, I was not able to attend our High School that same night. Sorry guys, hope you won't hate me... much.

Now, I'm back working and I really need to finish soon, within this week.

Here is for the coming Holidays, Cheers! I'm loving the cold weather.

lost in translation in HK :)



Still here inside the hotel room, working. I miss my kids, I'll try to finish most of my work here so when I get home, I'll get to spend quality time with them. Good thing, I brought some indy goodies from the KOMIKON 2007. Keeping me entertained :)



I haven't written anything about the Komikon yet. My mind is still a bit disorganized from it all. Congrats to the new titles that came out during the KON!

It was really quite an experience, especially when people brought very (1993) old komiks with my work on them! Some of the titles I actually forgot that I did. It was quite a blast from the past.


I wish I could get to study my stories back then.

Thank you nga pala to RENIE and LEVY for helping me sa table. You guys are the best!

Well, back to work for me, Take care guys!

San Miguel ad in HK

On our second day, DisneyLand :) where the mascots are flirtatious, Goofy wanted to get a Japanese Girl's address after taking pictures with him. I am still able to work after the tour hehe.

I am now, here inside the hotel, firing away with the work. Need to finish all of them before the expensive 24 internet access expires tonight :)
