HALO and Me. Again.

Oh hey...Didn't see you there...I'm fine actually, just came out of a bad flu, cough and whatever else that those nasty viruses can do...*cough*...

Well, I have been pretty busy lately. The students are on their break, so we don't have much to do in the office except prepare for our subjects next semester. But I do have things to do at home, especially my commissioned works.

Aside from that, I've been doing a lot of...nothing. LOL.

Actually I wanted to share is what I recently purchased and read.

The story goes, I went to one of our shopping complexes last week with my wife. Headed to my usual stops, but there was nothing new. And all of a sudden I had this sudden urge to go to the other wing. Which I have not gone for...quite sometime.

My wife asks,"Why are we heading to the new wing dear?"

I looked ahead and aswered,"I'm not sure..."

Wife: " Something you want to get?"

Me: "Not really...I just feel like I need to go there..."

Wife: "Oh...okay.."

As soon as we got there, I went to Parkson...and after browsing their toys, we decided to go to the bookstore next to it.

I headed straight to the graphic novels section and started to browse...

Avengers...JLA...Wolverine...X-Men...Transformers...

and suddenly...

a lone book peeked out from those wonderfully arranged books...

my heart skipped a beat...

I was afraid that maybe my eyes were playing tricks...but...

I'm sure...thats...the Chief...

gently I pulled out the book...and...

OMG...

it was 'HALO: The Graphic Novel'...

I grabbed it and went downstairs...spent sometime looking at other books with my wife and paid.

And left.

Once home, gently browsed through the pages and all I can say it was beautiful. Drawn by some of the best talents in the industry and written so well taking all there is about HALO and make it into beautiful storytelling...

And not to mention just the week before, I picked up myself another HALO book titled 'HALO: Ghosts of Onyx' another wonderfully crafted piece of literature by Eric Nylund.

Once I was done with the readings...I realized that the world of HALO is a part of me...
