Writing and Leaps of Faith

Since I am into Philippine Speculative Fiction these days, Anne decided to bring me with her to PinoyWriMo's Kick Off Event for November. Just like Anne, a lot of writers are into the challenge of creating a novel every November. Aptly called NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), it is an event throughout the world were writers of all genres create a novel with a minimum of 50,000 words. Apparently there are different groups for different months, but the first one has always been November.

Of Tiktik and other Asuang Stories

Since we never had our "stockholders meeting" for the 3rd quarter, Geo, Anne and I decided to watch Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles just to see if it was good. Since it's from GMA, I have my reservations but somehow I want to give it a chance. There was a sale in Mega and we want to get away from the horde, so we went to Shang instead. The movie would be shown in the Premiere Cinema and it would be a first for me to watch it there, so I was a bit excited too. 

Rizal @ 150: Heritage Trail

Thanks to Anne we learned about the Rizal Heritage Trail in honor of Jose Rizal's 150th Birthday. It's like Amazing Race for Rizalistas, actually. We had to visit 27 sites were Rizal is honored and we had to let our passports be stamped for each location.
