    Thank YOU, Candy, for your story. =D

    Hi, Doret! The Philippine release has been pushed back too, to late July I think. I'm impatient because I want to host giveaways and buy copies for my little cousins and nieces!

    That's a beautiful trailer. I wonder if 3D glasses would work with it. I liked the multidimensional effects in it.

Photo by Mark Moran. Can you tell us a bit about your Asian American heritage? My parents are from Eastern Samar, Philippines, an historic island in the Visayan island chain. My father was a U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer who brought my mom and older siblings to this country. I am the first American-born child in the family.
