congrats and celebrations

First off - a big Congratulatory Whoop for Dean whose story L'Aquilone de Estrellas was published in this Year's Best Fantasy and Horror Annual Collection (also to Nikki and Sage for being in the book too)!

It makes us proud to see a long time friend finally see print that will be read by millions outside of our little Island(s) of the Philippines. It gives one a great dose of Filipino pride when we can show the world that we are capable of contending internationally, especially next to the likes of Neil Gaiman, Setphen King and Ursula K. Le Guin! Wahoo!!!

My husband turned 33 this week and I was knee deep in ribs, pasta, and salmon - shopping for it and cooking it all! Boy, am I tired. But the celebration continues today with a cousin's birthday being also this week. Will have been a long week when it finally ends.
