In which we are favored by the moonlit presence of the Lewenri, Romblon's engkanto benefactors who may or may not be just regulars in a popular Manila bar. Also, romping in Romblon, our own version of the Bermuda Triangle, and the possibility that all of Denice's friends are supernatural.

 

As always, we shower all the love to our patrons Rose Bona, Lyz, Ellie, Kenneth and most especially Lee, who helped us out supremely with our sound issues! To all our patrons, may all of your ventures be blessed by moonlight, engkanto-favored or not.

In which we end this UGH of a year with a tale of the Markopo, a more standard, everyday human-eating dragon. Also, natural disasters, midnight karaoke, and more dice rolling. RATZ!

Big shout-outs to our patrons Lee, Ellie, Lyz, Rose Bona and Kenneth: May you be safe from early morning karaoke, dragon-sung or otherwise.
