For my feature articles, reviews, and opinions, click either of these two:
Where I wrote about comic artists, my travels, exercise routines, cemeteries, Philippine monsters, book and movie reviews, other Lifestyle events, and occasionally politics, for a living.
Where I used to analyze things like adapting the Howl’s Moving Castle novel to an anime, colonialization in the animated feature The Secret of Kells, Tanghalang Ateneo’s staging of La Ronde, why Snow White and the Huntsman sucked, why The Phantom of the Opera staging in Manila was great, and why the Twilight books are very much like glorified fanfiction. (Note: You won’t find these linked articles in my author’s works list, for some reason.)
