Let’s take a break from talking about comics, TV shows and other awesome things so I can tell you a few things about Maggie — 23 things I love about her, to be exact. The last 8 months of my life has been a thrilling roller coaster ride of emotions and it’s all because of her. Today is her 23rd birthday and I can’t let it pass without telling the Internet why I love her more than the X-Men and why I always let her win. Here are 23 reasons why this guy has epic feelings for Maggie.

Today is some sort of milestone in my life. Today is my 30th birthday. I’m not going to throw a big party. I think. What I’m sure of is I’m going to “celebrate” it on this blog. But instead of writing a sappy entry thanking all the people who have made the past 30 years awesome for me — or an entry composed entirely of animated GIFs featuring drunk people dancing sexily — I thought I should just highlight 30 things from my 30 years of existence that I absolutely love. They will basically tell you what and who I am thankful for. In no particular order:

1. Aquaman from Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

2. Father of the Bride Part II. What.

3. Science books for kids.

My copy of DC Comics Year By Year: A Visual Chronicle has arrived! I won it from GeekOut.ph’s contest and the timing of it all is just perfect. What better time to receive a book that chronicles the DC Comics Universe from 1935 all the way to 2010 than my birthday week? Yes, in a few days, I’ll be celebrating my 30th birthday. It’s nice to know that as I reminisce about my own experiences year by year, I can also see major DC developments for each of those years.

My birthday is tomorrow, September 29th. I don’t really feel like celebrating it because, if you haven’t heard, we’re in a state of calamity right now because of Tropical Storm Ketsana (Ondoy). I’m writing this wish list as an appeal to you, my readers. I know there’s not a lot of you, but I know there’s enough of you out there to make this worth writing.

1. For those of you outside the Philippines, Filipino or not, please send help via PayPal or credit card by going to Philippineaid.com. It’s a great initiative from Mike Villar, which I vouch for along with several of my fellow bloggers.

2. For those of you in the country, check out the different ways that you can help. Karen Ang has compiled a list of institutions and locations where you can send donations. Financial support is great, but it would be awesome if you can also give clothes, food, water and other necessities. You can also volunteer to repackage relief goods and, if you’re able, distribute it to the victims.
