Fairy Tale Fail

On April 20, 2010 / By tania / In Friends, Novels / No Comments

My super-talented writer friend Mina V. Esguerra just published her second novel. (The first one was My Imaginary Ex.)

Fairy Tale Fail by Mina V. Esguerra

Of all the twenty-something women who are hopeless romantics, Ellie Manuel is more “hopeless” than “romantic.”

Even after her Prince Charming broke up with her, she just won’t give up … because fairy tale heroines don’t live “happily ever after” right away, silly, they’re tested first!

Determined to pass the test, she spends the next year restoring herself to the girl Prince Charming had fallen in love with in the first place.

Until she discovers that life without him might not be so bad after all: her career is taking off, her confidence is back, and the cute guy at work is no longer a stranger.

So when is it okay to quit on a fairy tale?

Fairy Tale Fail is an e-book from Amazon.com — it’s for the Kindle, only you don’t really need a Kindle to read it, just the right application for your PC, Mac, iPhone or BlackBerry.

Congratulations, Mina!

Gay Pride 2009

On December 6, 2009 / By tania / In Event, Friends, God-free, Lifestyle, Politics, Society / No Comments
My first Gay Pride Parade! Finally found people to go with -- Red, Gerry and Wella from the Filipino Freethinkers. I completely busted my right shoe -- those where not sensible shoes to wear to a parade -- so I went partying afterwards in completely unmatched blue flipflops bought at a nearby 7-11. But I had a hell of a good time, and partly because of the fundie Christian gay-haters who showed up to protest the parade, as usual. I'll post videos as soon as I have time to edit them. Photos here!

So that’s that. Submitted my StraMa paper yesterday. Now all I have left to do now is procrastinate setting up a schedule for my defense. I just found out a couple of my college friends are taking the law review at my campus, and another one is here for as yet unknown reasons. Roommate and
