Laboy #1: Asia Pop Comic Con: Day 2 & 3

The biggest, baddest comic con this side of the planet? Probably!

Asia Pop Comic Con (APCC) is an event granted to third-world mortals of the Philippines by probably the gods of Disney and Marvel and whoever's at the helm of the organization. This unbelievably awesome event was one I'd probably look forward to every year as long as I have money to spare. This is the first time in a long time I flew above the clouds in nerdgasmic joy.

It's just about every overgrown kid's dream come true the moment I arrived at the event's doorsteps at the World Trade Convention Center in Pasay...

Kwento #3: Throwbacks, Flashbacks, and the signature kick of "film"

Photography began in the Age of Analog, long before all the digital thingamajigs were invented, the medium was made up of something only chemists probably understand the most: film. But the surprising thing about it is that digital has only gone mainstream recently, in fact, it's probably only a little beyond a decade.

Not dead yet. So far.

The look and feel of a photograph shot on film is still strong (like it was the force...) in people's tastes today that aside from keeping the medium alive, many digital-only applications and even camera manufacturers employ software to make images give that classic "film look." We even have a new tradition for it (sort of): Throwback Thursdays (and for the late posters, Flashback Fridays)

Unbelievable? Read on and find out :)

Lakbayin #3: A Synapse Trip from a Citrus Fill to Across the Universe

Daydreaming has been my hobby for a long time.

It's unhealthy, sure, and is probably a good (or bad?) sign of a mental illness or something.
I don't know, maybe I'm a little depressed.
or as the old Matchbox Twenty song puts it,
a little unwell.

I've been dreaming of an adventure, the kind that sounds a little like a trip across Middle-Earth...

with sights like this, who needs a desk job?*
