Natuklasan ko ang librong ito sa patimpalak ng Black Ink, isang lokal na manlilimbag sa Pilipinas. Kamakailan lang ay isinali ko ang aking likha sa kanilang patimpalak. Sa kasawiang-palad ay di nakapasa ang isinali ko. Ayos lamang dahil, sa pang-ilang ulit kong basa sa Maikling Kwento na ginawa ko, hindi rin matakot-takot sa gawa ko. Horror genre kasi ang kailangan sa Librong Itim, pangalan ng libro na naglalaman ng iba't-ibang kwento mula sa mga iba't-ibang tao. Hindi requirement ang pagiging journalist or degree sa panitikan, basta't may kuwento kang nakakatakot at kanais-nais alinsunod sa tema na kailangan nila, maaari kang sumali.

At ayun nga, di nakapasok ang entry ko kaya naman bumili na ako ng mismong aklat nila upang basahin ang gawa ng mga nagsilahok para gawin itong inspirasyon at matuto na rin kung paano nga ba gumawa ng Horror Story na patok sa panlasa ng hurado nila.

Book Review: One More Chance | A Novel by Juan Miguel Sevilla

I just found this book lying around the house. It came with the balikbayan box from Singapore sent by a relative. Not sure if the signature is from my cousin or from the author itself. But they told me it wasn't my cousin's signature. I'm just not sure.

One More Chance front cover art

Title: One More Chance
Author: Juan Miguel Sevilla
Screen Writer(s): Vanessa Valdez, Carmi Raymundo
Cover art: Lorra Elena Angbue-Te
ISBN: 9789718161333
Publisher: ABS-CBN Publishing Inc.
Published Date: June 12, 2015
Language: Filipino and English / Taglish
Genre: Romance, Contemporary, Adult Fiction






Note, this book was based from the movie "One More Chance" by Cathy Garcia-Molina

I have no liking to any Filipino films but I'm aware of the movie title as it was trending before in the kitchen of our office. It was a word of mouth by most of my girl friends (not girlfriend). The movie was a success during its time. I'm not curious about it even if the TV commercial tell me it was a huge success. Many Filipino movies announced their success in TV commercials but the competing TV Channel don't. So, I don't trust what they're saying.

I underestimate the movie without watching it. But as I read this novelized version "One More Chance" by Juan Miguel Sevilla, I find the story pretty good.

Check BookDepository. It's FCBD! They may have Discounted Sale on Graphic Novels

---

It was Free Comic Book Day yesterday. And yes! I went to Filbar's and Fully Booked to get Free Comics.

Went to #Filbars and #FullyBooked #FreeComicBookDay #FreeComicBookDay2017 #FCBD #FCBD2017 yesterday, May 06, 2017 to get these #Comics for FREE!

A post shared by Otakore Literantadodist (@otakore) on May 6, 2017 at 7:02pm PDT

This year's FCBD was attended by a great number of people compare to last year's. I didn't expect the numbers. The line reached the 5th floor of SM Megamall (see below).

FCBD Patrons waiting for their time to get their Free Comics

We are provided a Flash Pass, a ticket to get Free Comics. They do this so that the Mall operation will go smoothly without the disturbance of mass FCBD patrons waiting in their floors. I got the 4:41 PM - 5:00 PM queue. I went there as early as 10:00 AM, so I have to go window shopping, eat, sit and play my Pokemon Sun in my 3DS for 7 hours T_T

Filbar's Flash Pass

While waiting for almost 7 hours, I also dropped by at Fully Booked to get their Free Comics (1 pc.) too. Note, you get 2 pcs. Comics in Filbar's.

So, the day ends, here's my FCBD haul. I got three comics :)

• Tomie by Junji Ito
• Avengers: Age of Ultron Comic Magazine by Filbar's
• Street Fighter V

What I got in Free Comic Book Day 2017

Free Comic Book Day or FCBD is an annual event taking place every first Saturday of the month of May. It was first popularized in North America by Joe Field in the year 2001. Now, thousands of retailers in more than 30 countries, including retailers here in the Philippines participates in this free event annually.

See you next year's FCBD 2018!

Thanks!
