    Pasalubong: Pulburon, Tsitsirya, & Pugad Baboy 21

    My mom took a month and a half vacay to the Philippines to tend to her sick mom, my maternal granny. Inang Maria, fortunately, is now okay. To all my friends who offered prayers for the speedy recovery of our Inang--from the bottom of my heart--maraming, maraming salamat po.

    When my mom finally returned to the Kingdom, she has loads of pasalubong for me. They're mostly comprised of my favorite tsitsirya and polvorón. She also brought along the gadgets I wanted to bring back here because I absentmindedly left them in my flat in Manila.

    My sweet siblings, with whom I share a passion of collecting comic books and graphic novels, gave me the latest from the Pugad Baboy series: the Pugad Baboy 21.

    I finished it after a week and it was über funny. Pol Medina Junior still has the gift!

    It was nice to note too that over the years collecting the compilation of the strips, I always look out for Brosia's parts first before reading the other parts of the comic book. She's undeniably one of the wittiest characters ever drawn in the Pugad Baboy-verse. Too bad her pages in the comic book are dwindling down in number over the years.
