mistaken identity

Despite our insistence that:

1. Nikki is a writer, not an illustrator; and

2. I am neither an illustrator nor a woman

the Japan Foundation people still insisted on a meeting regarding Filipino Comics, with something to do with an exhibit on Female Cartoonists in Asia.

Never one to shirk from possibilities, I thought we'd go and accept the invitation this morning (hey, if somehow an all-expense trip to Japan is offered, we'll look into it, even though my memories of Japan trigger flashbacks of expenses beyond reason).

Apparently, they liked what work they'e seen - which is really odd because never did either of us claim to be anything other than writers (or editors).

So we'll see. Anyway, lunch in the Makati sounds good.
