Neil Gaiman Weekend
I have always argued that Neil Gaiman is more than just a writer. He’s a story teller. There are some writers, who, when you listen to them speak, sound as if they are speaking in prose. The sentences they construct are uttered with a cadence that makes you stop to listen to every word as…

We went diving over the weekend at the Paradise Island, a good 15 minute drive from Davao City, and though it may…
