Her birthday's in 2 days. And I've decided to buy a comic book for her since she's into them artsy shiz like me.

I still can't decide which one to buy, though. I've narrowed my choices down to two. It's either Manix Abrera's "12" which is a book composed of 12 short comics with no dialogue. I've read a few pages of this a couple of hours ago, it's brilliant. And it's just released this November.

Or Arnold Arre's "Martial Law Babies". A book about a group of friends born during the Marcos regime until present time. Quoting the author's tagline, "A story about living, loving and leaving". It's also a brilliant comic.

Both are Filipino artists, by the way.

And I'll save that drawing of mine for later on.
