Fashion inspired by Nightwing

Things I'm Excited About

1. My favorite Filipino author is going indie.

A signed author going indie!? Shocking right? Well, in this case it isn't. Why? Because that way she'll have a larger audience.

Unlike her current works which are all written in Filipino, in her future books, the reader will have a choice whether they want a Filipino or English version of the her novels.

Also, in her current publisher limits their authors to 24,000 words per books. When she goes indie the only limit is her imagination.;

Another plus. Her indie novels will be ebooks. I certainly prefer this because her current novels are really hard to find. Every time I go into a bookstore and ask for her books, they're always sold out.

2. Young Justice will be coming back on September 29. AND I changed my mind about Nightwing's costume.

At long last! only a few more days till I see my favorite bat-kid again.

On to Nightwing's costume.

In my previous post I said I love Nightwing's costume because it looks like it can take a beating unlike the other incarnations of his costume. What I didn't put into consideration is what Nightwing's abilities are. Nightwing is first and foremost an acrobat. His costume in YJ looks like its stiff and would limit his movement. That is the last thing an acrobat would want. So the spandex unitard actually makes sense.

This is now my favorite Nightwing costume.

And the bird on YJ Nightwing is kinda lame.

3. Foretold.

Foretold: 14 Tales of Prophecy and Prediction . I'm actually really excited about just one of these fourteen tales and that is Richelle Mead's short story Homecoming. Its about Rose and Dimitri's trip to Dimitri's hometown in Russia.

4. Peñafrancia Festival.


The Penafrancia Festival or the feast of Our Lady of Peñafrancia is an anual celebration is the Bicol region in honor of the blessed Virgin Mary. 


It may sound too religious for some (myself included) but it is a festival. Meaning there are colorful parades, lots of food, shopping and a lot of other things. 



5. Batman and Robin #0

Damian Wayne is my favorite Robin as Robin. Batman and Robin #0 is his origin story.

See you all again next time!
