My Blog

In the cool of the evening

When I was a boy

I would gaze at the wide open skies

And I’d dream of a someday

When I’d be a man

And live with a lady with lights in her eyes

Well, I searched for that dream

Till my heart nearly broke

Till my hopes turned to hopeless and died

Until just this morning when I suddenly woke

Looked at you sleeping there and cried

This is what I dreamed

This is what I wished for

Now all at once I see

Everything I’ve ever wanted

Is here with me

Yes, this is what I dreamed

Like a miracle unfolding

Holding you near me

Just like this

Every moment, every kiss

Is exactly how I pictured it would be

I swear I must be dreamin’

For this is what I dreamed,

And it’s everywhere around us

Every cloud in the sky

Every breeze that blows by

Can’t believe I’ve been so blind

To this sweet bliss

Yes this is what I dreamed

And I just can’t help but wonder

If under those same magic skies

You were closing your eyes

And dreaming of this moment with me

My life is wide awake now

For this is what I dreamed

Janet Crocker did an interview on me a few weeks ago for our website http://www.gomanga.com in support of Captain Nemo’s release this March.

The full interview can be read right here- http://www.gomanga.com/news/features_033.php

Thank you for those who have picked up the book. Maraming salamat!! Please support you fellow kababayans and our company- Seven Seas.

My friends keep telling me to put up this blog thingamajiggy so what the heck. Actually I’m really not that fond of giving people insight on the things that I do. I would much prefer being in the shadow of things. So I’ll probably treat this as some sort of journal or an online diary. Right now, I am at the beginning of  Volume 2 of my manga –Captain Nemo. Volume 1 was released in the U.S. last March 6. Newtype magazine described the art “Majestic and carefully drawn”. I still cant believe I made it to Newtype. Woohoo!! I hope the book does well. Right now I’m drawing the cover for Volume two. I can’t show it here off course- company policy. Just to give you an idea of what I’m talking about, I’m including a sneak peak from the first book.
