TY FilAm Creator Con! Looking forward to what 2027 has in store. No matter where I am, I will make it a point to give back and participate. No need for crab mentality here! Also, it was fun being in an X'er / Geriatric Millennial geeky space...with hours of karaoke over Red Horse and lechon.

Hey all...I hate to beg, but I don't have enough right now to pay for Nico's $300 vet bill. I don't get paid until tomorrow. As any pet owner knows, vet bills are expensive. Any help, any boost is very much appreciated! Do it for him! www.gofundme.com/f/support-ni...

Filipino American Creator Con is easily one of my favorite events. While it’s a free, one day convention at a public library, I got so much out of creator panels and got to talk to a ton of artists! And the best after party ever…Filipino food and karaoke!

The FOX broadcast version is kinda buried (and also why I hold exemption....iykyk), but say what you will about the live version, mad respect to Tim for taking on the role of the narrator after his stroke.

Once upon a few months ago, my bestie and I confronted collective trauma. The best way to visualize it was like the filmed version of "It." We confronted the clowns that pushed away and reclaimed the space that was meant for us. Hence, "It" has become one of my comfort movies.

As my friends suggested, I plan to sell off the stock I had brought with me to San Diego Comic Con. If you're a vendor at a con, getting stock and getting prep (travel, etc) does eat up cost. If I can recuperate from the loss, it would be greatly appreciated! #animesky #booksky #writingcommunity

Dear Readers,
I will be having a post-SDCC
direct sale this week.
I will include stickers and a print
including a personalized signature.
This is to recuperate for the financial losses from the signing cancelation.

I’m working on
the google form today.

It's so nice to see so much support here after what had happened to me at SDCC. No author wants to plan and prep for a big con and then to find out their signings are cancelled on the day of or the moment they show up at their booth. I will do my best to reply and respond. <3 U!!! #animesky #booksky

Berry Delightful! It's been a hot minute since I've entered in a masquerade cosplay contest. I had so much fun being a part of this at SDCC. I admire everyone's hard work and work in to creating Sakizou inspired Strawberry Shortcake characters! Smell ya later! (our outfits are also scented!)

Sakizou inspired strawberry shortcake characters - Purple Pie Man, Raspberry Tart, Lemon Meringue, Strawberry Shortcake, Blueberry Muffin, Plum Pudding, and Sour Grapes.

In spite of things, I choose to sparkle today. Samantha Newark and I geeked out over Project A-Ko and we started singing “In Your Eyes.” I just had my Taylor Swift x Sabrina showgirl moment.
