Preview
Some of the pages I'm doing will be less on tips but more on really personal stuff about me and my wife. Expect some pages to be funny while some might be a little embarrassing! :)

Ultrasound Results and Comics Update
Just sharing the wonderful news: We recently visited the ultrasound clinic and we've been told: IT'S A BOY! :)
Also, our baby's expected due date is the first week of August. We're extremely excited! We already have a name for him but we won't share it yet until the day.
And oh! Here's a cute pair of socks I bought for the little guy:
As for the comics, I finally got to upload 6 strips recently and I'm trying to finish two new pages. They will be full pages, however, unlike earlier strips so watch out for that. I've also thought of a title for the upcoming strips since I don't think MWIP will still be appropriate. Stay tuned for that one, too!

Greetings again!
Honestly, I thought I’d
be able to create lots of pages because of the Lenten break but I only
managed to finish one. I guess I got too busy watching movies, doing
some home chores, attending our church's General Conference, and simply
spending time with my wife. Anyway, I’m glad I still got something done
came Araw ng Kagitingan.
While creating the
page, I realized something: a single comic strip takes hours to make but
only requires a few seconds for readers to finish. Conceptualizing,
deciding how many panels a strip needs, and doing the actual artwork is
not as easy as it sounds. I’m just so thankful Teardrop and Steph are
always around to provide much-needed help along the way. Plus my wife is
extremely supportive.
I think I’ve gained
bigger admiration for comic creators now than I ever did. Again,
creating comics could be a challenge but knowing you have brightened
someone’s day (or have at least made them chuckle) makes it all worth
it.

Journal Entry #17

Greetings, earthlings!
More
than 2 months after the wedding, me and my wife were thrilled to
discover that she is pregnant with our first child. Since then, we had
lots of weird and funny experiences together and I enjoyed sharing them
with some of our closest friends. Along the way, I suddenly had this
wild idea of turning them into comic strips so we could share our tale
with more people.
With my wife’s motivations, I did just that. Writing and drawing My Wife Is Pregnant
is really a great learning experience for me. My wife is both my #1 fan
and #1 critic. That’s definitely a good thing for a first-timer like
me. With a little help from my friends (Teardrop Cordez and StephFaith
Bautista – yey!), I got to finish a few strips. Actually, my wife even
assisted me in inking a few panels because I am terribly bad at using
rulers hahaha! I then posted the comics on my Facebook and made a Tumblr
account for it just for fun.
Currently, I
already have 11 pages of thumbnails (plus a cover concept) on my
sketchbook. I’m hoping to work on them one step at a time. The goal is
to complete at least 20 finished pages (I have 3 – 17 more to go!) and
then eventually release them as a compiled comic book on one of the
upcoming conventions. I believe this year’s November Komikon (or Summer
Komikon 2013, at least) should be a good target. Besides, I think our
baby’s birth should be the book’s main highlight. I want that to happen
first and I want the experience captured on the strips as well.
