When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn’t make the darkness
go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares are still walking.
When we hold each other, we feel - not safer, but better.
"It’s alright," we whisper. "I’m here. I love you."
and we lie, "I’ll never leave you."
For just a moment or two the darkness doesn’t seem so bad.
When we hold each other.

Excerpt from Hellblazer comics #27 which is one of my faves, written by Sandman Creator, Neil Gaiman.
Speaking of which, I was estatic a month ago when I came to know that for the first time, FILBAR’S will have a new branch here in Davao. For weeks and weeks I patiently waited for its opening. I occassionally snuck out of school (when I could) just to see if it’s open. It was even weird that when I asked the customer service of the mall about it, she was completely clueless she didn’t even knew that there’ll be a new store - when duh! she should have.
Anyway, all my waiting was wasted when just yesterday a friend of mine told me that it was finally open, Yey! well not really - in fact It was horrible. I mean you would have just mistaken it for another magazine store or something, selling local and US tabloid magazines and such. WTF?! Where are all the comics?! The collectables?! The action figures?! The graphic novels I long to have?! It should have been a specialty store for them. Except of course for a few number (and I mean a just a handful) of X-men comics and them sweet Neil Gaiman Sandman compilations (which I want to have), it was all garbage! Hehehe I wished I was back in Manila and I hope for the coming weeks, the "Filbar’s" branch here in Davao will house more and more items that made Filbar’s what it is and should be.
