Birthdays, Books and 'Bots

E-lo guys, just wanted to thank everyone who greeted me a happy birthday last week and thanks for not reminding me of my biological age I had the most wonderful birthday this year, spent coincidentally during my HS reunion in a posh KTV bar in Makati, playing party games and pwa tiong chu(chinese dice), raffles and bring me's, a magic and illusion show by my HS bud Michael,  and singing All That You Can't Leave Behind with Warse-no-Miko.  I loe ya so much!

And looky looky what she and my sis gave me~~~!

Bandai's new Real Grade 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam and my first ever Master Grade MS-OSR-2 Zaku II Ver. 2.0! And to think my sis has no knowledge about these things and yet she manages to grab me probably one of the best Ver 2.0 MG kits in the market.


So far I've managed to finish the RG Mobile Suit itself- the detail, the colors, the posability of this 1/144 is incredible. He's also incredibly lazy, picking his non-existent nose while waiting for me to finish building his weapons (he dares call me a slacker!><)

Well looks like I'm all set till next year!

Speaking of next year, the new book I'm working on with Alex Ross will be out soon. Bring the Thunder is my second collaboration with Alex since Battle of the Planets back in 2001. It's great to be back working with him, the new style is drastically different, but I think it goes well with the cinematic movie-like style of the story.

And enjoy these preview pages




Thanks again for all the support folks!
