Answers to questions you might be asking, unless you wandered onto this site purely by accident

1. Yes that IS my real name, I AM the columnist slash talk show host, I AM the author of the seven Twisted books (eight if you count Twisted Flicks, nine if you count Twisted Travels) and this IS my blog.

Make that 10 Twisted volumes: Twisted8 is now in stores. Buy it!

My column Twisted appeared in TODAY, which no longer exists (sob).  The current column, Emotional Weather Report, comes out Fridays in the Philippine Star.

2. No, I’m not on Friendster, and if you’ve ever read anything I’ve written, you would know that I am not friendly at all. (The last time anyone checked, there were several persons claiming to be Jessica Zafra—using my photo, history, things I’ve written—most of them little gay boys apparently.)

3. Because while looking over my old columns I found myself violently disagreeing with myself, and decided to blog so I could rebut myself.

4. No, I don’t do a radio show anymore. My last broadcast was in January 2004 on NU-107. I do podcasts when I feel like it.

5. Oh please, the TV show Points of View was cancelled in October 2003 because no one was watching it, so don’t tell me how sad you were that it’s gone.

6. While we’re trawling my career graveyard, the last issue of FLIP: The Official Guide to World Domination came out in April 2003. The cover persons were Representatives Teodoro Locsin Jr, Imee Marcos, and Satur Ocampo—a bizarre mix at the time, but given recent political events (the attempted impeachments, etc), prophetic. FLIP survived for eight issues. They’re collector’s items now.

7. Yes, all my books are available at National Bookstores, Powerbooks, and Fully Booked branches. If you have any trouble finding my books, please email zeusbooks.twisted8@gmail.com.

8. Yes, I managed the Eraserheads for four months, appeared as the framing device in a Joey Reyes movie starring Diether Ocampo, and sometimes judge cat shows.

9. For inquiries about book sales and to schedule lectures/readings/signings, please email zeusbooks.twisted8@gmail.com.
