Does the world need (another) Superman (remake)? I can't help but think about this--the title of the Pulitzer Prize-winning "article" written by Lois Lane and one of the central theme for 2006's Superman Returns. I am asking the same question almost 7 years after Superman last flew in our big screens. In the age where …
So raise your glass to geeky girls who read graphic novels…
After receiving a good windfall last Friday, the very first thing I bought for myself is not a new bag or a complete wardrobe from Forever 21. Rather, here's what I bought: Yes, I bought four new issues of DC Comics' New 52's called "Suicide Squad - Death of the Family" and a new graphic …

Cos I am such a freaking girly-girl…and I can kick your ass!
I was blessed with two new fashion magazines courtesy of a good, good friend. I love the fact that I am again up to date on the latest fashion in Japan. I love my new CanCam and Vivi--most especially Vivi which has better styling and fashion lay-outs this month compared to CanCam. I don't know …

Saying thank you for the things that matter
I have been pretty blessed -- but there are instances where I rather see the negative than the many good things happening around me. I had a superb weekend, spent time paying bills thus blowing my whole month's pay in two hours. It's a sad reality but they always say that bills are as constant …

In my dreams, I am your Lois Lane
Had a rare chance of sketching again. Got inspired after seeing this amazing art in one of the Lois Lane tribute sites that I always frequent. I've always identified with Lois: slightly-neurotic, pushy, dangerously curious, harsh but always with good intentions in her heart. I grew up in love with Clark Kent and thinking that …
The gospel according to Perry White
Eleven years (!) ago, on a make or break interview for a lifestyle writer position for one of the country's biggest publications, I was asked by the daily's VP for HR why I wanted to be a writer. I was a broadcasting graduate, freshly out of university and miserably idealistic. I answered, "Because I wanted …
SMALLVILLE comes to a close after 10 seasons
Oh wait, is that actually a tear which fell from my eye? You do know that I am probably one of Superman's biggest fans, except maybe for my good friend P whose sneakers even bore the caped one's famous "S" mark. The cult classic and probably one of the best (if not, the best) representation …

Another one dons the red cape
Citizens of Metropolis, we have our new Superman: Meet Henry Cavill, announced as the new reincarnation of the "Man of Steel" following the footsteps of Kirk Alyn in a 1948 television series Superman; George Reeves in the 1950s series The Adventures of Superman; Christopher Reeve in Superman I-IV; Dean Cain in Lois and Clark: The …
Superman:Earth One – a new face for a familiar superhero
As a six year old, no one made a firm and lasting impression on my mind than seeing Christopher Reeve--Superman--flying towards the great blue sky, giving his audience a warm-hearted salute and heart-attack inducing smile. Sitting on a musky, dark, old theater in old Makati, I looked at the screen, at Supe's endearing face and …
