How not to be the next Neil Gaiman
|
|
Win his Graphic/Fiction Awards by being truly
‘Pinoy’
|
|
You can thank Arnold Arre, The Manila Times’ own resident graphic novelist and winner
of the Manila Critics Circle and National Book Awards, for cluing in
Neil Gaiman on the abundance of artistic talent in the Philippines
and on the rich treasure trove of primordial myths and contemporary
urban legends. The novelist, comic book author and movie
scriptwriter famous for The Sandman, Stardust, Beowulf and American
Gods, has gone so far as to establish and fund The Graphic/Fiction
Awards, now on its third year with over P400,000 in cash with
P100,000 to the first place winner and a publication deal with
international distribution up for grabs. This is something Gaiman
does only for the Philippines and nowhere else.

Croissant contest
|

I get a craving for croissants once a week, usually on weekends.
Because I was eating them so regularly, I started comparing the
different types available. By geographical default, I buy croissants
from the stores that are easily accessible for me: The Peninsula
Exclusivités, the Mandarin Deli, Delifrance, and French Baker.

What you read reveals

What you read reveals what you value This week’s column title is
taken from a line by British author Jeanette Winterson, one of my
favorite writers of all time. She wrote, “What you risk reveals
what you value” and this line appeared in two of her novels, one
of which is The Passion.

Donnie’s sizzling
lunch and Ramon’s vibrant dinner

Lunchtime action sizzled with spicy food and even spicier party
prattle when lady-restaurateur Kathy Park threw a birthday luncheon
for my darling friend, society columnist and PR-man Donnie Ramirez
at her Tony Korean resto Kaya at Bel-Air, Makati.
