The attempt of me and my officemates to be an ABS-CBN "katol"
Well, at least we look like one really happy and unified company. Kahit medyo hindi. Still, life is good and work can be fun. I really really really just wish I get my promotion soon. More money. I really need more money. Ever since I loaned out Php 5000 to a friend who, and I quote, "Don't know when I could pay you back" things have not been easy for me financially. I only hope that the person isn't going to Starbucks and the like once a day. Putsa, I can't afford to do that. He better not be!
Well, let's see what happens today eh?

Had a good Monday
Woke a tad late thanks to having some friends over in the evening as well as due to the news of Marco and Nel now having a baby girl. I wonder when I'll have a family too.
Work was lighter than usual. Though no-less hectic. Had to finish two storyboards, attend a telecon with a client, finish a guide cover and last but not the least, prepare for a tiangge where we'll be selling almost all the props we used in our shoots. So if there's anyone who has dreams of owning a pair of pants Piolo Pascual wore, or a pair of beach shorts Marvin Agustin was wearing, tell me asap!
After work, went singing with the ever Zsaturrnah Carl and belted out a few new songs. Never realised how fun it could be to sing 1-2-3-4 of Gloria Estefan. I must admit the main reason I tried it was due to American Idol. I really am a late bloomer, eh?
And yes the Siglo pages continues. Decided to face the music and risk being ridiculed and insulted by posting one sample. God, I really am not good with color. Dragged an office-mate of mine to help me out. So far, I think its passable. I don't really know. I hope its at least worth being still in the book. Dean. Vinnie. Be nice?

Lucasfilm Unveils New 'Star Wars' Title
By ANTHONY BREZNICAN, AP Entertainment Writer
SAN DIEGO - The final "Star Wars" prequel is just "Episode III" no more. Lucasfilm announced its new title Saturday: "Revenge of the Sith."
YAHOO!!! I can't wait to see it! And finally, a nice title to. |
The movie, set for release in May 2005, will link the prequels with the original "Star Wars" trilogy by showing how Luke Skywalker's father, Anakin, went from a sweet-natured slave boy to the galaxy-crushing villain Darth Vader. The Sith is the evil sect that corrupts Anakin (played by Hayden Christensen (news)) by drawing him into the dark side of the Force, the cosmic power that balances the universe.
Lucasfilm announced the new title at the annual Comic-Con International, the annual gathering of tens of thousands of sci-fi and superhero fans.

Japanese Council Approves Human Cloning
<> TOKYO - Japan's top science council voted Friday to adopt policy recommendations that would permit the limited cloning of human embryos for scientific research, an official said.
|
|
The recommendations would let researchers use and produce cloned human embryos but only for basic research, said Tomohiko Arai, an official at the Cabinet's Council for Science and Technology Policy.
The council, headed by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, will now ask Japan's ministries to come up with specific guidelines, said Arai, who declined to speculate how long that might take.
Many scientists back human embryo cloning to obtain stem cells that can be used to reproduce damaged tissues or organs. Stem cells are the building blocks from which all organs are formed.
Britain and South Korea allow therapeutic cloning, but the United States prohibits any kind of embryo cloning and has lobbied strongly against it.
Earlier this month, France's parliament gave final approval to a law that approves stem cell research on human embryos, but only for a limited test period.
Japan banned the cloning of humans in 2001.

Ah a movie!
Got to see ZATOICHI today!
(japanese site | english site)
It was amusing as hell and yet had a storyline I just wanted to go through. Lots of "STOMP" inspired sequences too. Ah, I liked it, I have to admit that. The effects we're perfectly clean (as they tend to be with Asian films like Hero or Legend of Zu Mountain) but they are amazingly lovely to look at. (Unlike those blunders Matrix Reloaded had).
Go see it!
And you'll never look at Samurai, Geishas and Ronin in the same way again!

Five minute Fiction: Rehearsals
The lines were so bad, they sounded trite.
"Maybe we should try a different approach," he chided, although anyone with half a brain could see the truth behind his statement. It was less a call for revision than it was a half-veiled attempt at finding allies. They had been working on the scenario for the last three hours and it was getting clear to those who were still half-heartedly trying to make the lines work that the others had long given up.
"How about we approach this with a bit more de Saint-Exuery, and a bit less Amy Tan?" came a suggestion followed by another and another until it was very obvious that the suggestions all implied a total rewrite of everything that had been rehearsed so far. The group was merciful, still, and offered more and more suggestions without directly stating that which had begun to get more and more obvious: the whole idea really simply sucked.
"Less Ellis? Less Morrison? A touch of David and Gaiman in one?"
"How about something more... King-esque, minus the dead bodies and monsters, of course."
"A slight hint of Tsiolkas? No? No agressive anger and sex then?"
"Braine? E. Kelly? Yoshimoto? Barker?"
"STOP!"
Everyone in the room stared at him as he struck the stack of papers on his desk. The leaves swung into the air and lazying pirouetted down to the ground with soft crunchy sounds. No one said a word. No one uttered a complaint. Or an opinion. After all there was no one there in the room but him.
Him and his many ways of thinking born from a lifetime of role-playing games and telling stories.
"Stop..." he whispered, this time more conscious he was whispering it to himself, "... thinking for now. And just... relax.."
He sat on the floor and felt the cold stone beneath him. He remembered he hated the cold and rose to his knees, taking the time to pick each fallen sheet of paper up, then carefully stacked them on top of one another again. He felt tears brimming behind his eyes, that was certain, and he felt them slip past the self-conscious guardians that urge him to wipe them away; he let them fall anyway.
There was no one to see him crying after all.
Who would have thought it would be this hard to rehearse telling someone how you really feel?
[finally done with work. decided to write this before i left as an act of exorcism of the stress work has buried me under. hope it was a fun read. i'm going home! yeeehaaa!]

Fucking Hate Having to be Strong for EVERYONE ELSE but me
I'm sorry but I just have to rant out today. Honestly, it has been a good day and all. Had a great time with Sam and Seth with our Changeling game, as well as the preparations we did for the upcoming Exalted: Sidereal game. Had nice bonding time with my Mom and my Sister. Had a chance to chat with my Dad who is currently in the United States visiting my Brother and his family there. Had a chance to get some movies I liked. Found some music I enjoy listening to. Got a chance to see a movie I wanted to see. Found a copy of some books I really hoped to get.
Work isn't so bad either.
But right now, suddenly, I feel very fucking pissed off.
Maybe its the fact that so far, to my knowledge, friends of mine who have gotten married aren't in good fucking marriages right now? Maybe it has to do with the fact that so many people whom I love being in touch with fucking disappear like you don't exist the moment they find some new focus on their love and passion and fucking sexual urges? Maybe it has to do with the fact I have been slowly getting consumed with the reality that I am no longer earning enough to be happy? Maybe it has to do with the feeling my comic pages in Siglo: Passion are fucking crap? Maybe it has to do with the nagging and growing feeling that my Diliman comic is pathetic and juvenile that some friends of mine who are in the comic industry (as small as it is in this country) have BARELY cared to send any form of feedback on it.
Or maybe it is just one of those moments I have my mood swings.
Its been a while, I guess.
God.
There was a time mood swings would be my perfect moment for writing either poetry or really short stories.
What happened?
To me?

Guess whose blog I found this in
Wackiness: 50/100
Rationality: 54/100
Constructiveness: 56/100
Leadership: 44/100
You are an SRCF--Sober Rational Constructive Follower. This makes you a White House staffer. You are a tremendous asset to any employer, cool under pressure, productive, and a great communicator. You feel the need to right wrongs, take up slack, mediate disputes and keep the peace. This comes from a secret fear that business can't go on without you--or worse, that it can.
If you have a weakness, it is your inability to say "no." While your peers respect you, they find it difficult to resist taking advantage of your positive attitude and eagerness to take on work. You depend on a good manager to keep you from sinking under the weight and burning out.
Also, good journeys to Nelz who has ended his blog life for a life of love.

Monday is tip-toeing really slowly
The day went okay as far as working at my office goes. Had an early General Assembly since the big President was in the area and supposedly it would be good to have him around. Not much good news as far as what directly affects me though. Congratulations to those who got promoted though.
Finally saw Spider-Man 2 last Friday. Really good movie. The bakat moments of both Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst were a bit unnecessary, but would definitely boost re-watch sales in certain markets. Doctor Octopus was a great villain! I just don't understand why dipping a miniature sun into water would stop its perpetual energy cycle.
Silent Hill 4:the Room is turning out to be disturbing. And that's good. My god. My fear for dogs has just taken a huge leap and now I'm worried about going around alone at night again. Heheh.
Siglo: Passion, the coloring continues.
Diliman 13, the drawing and rewriting continues.
Life is ok.

I Believe
Have you ever you ever reached a rainbow's end
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever catch a shooting star
Tell me how high did you soar
Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
Cause the magic that surrounds you
Will lift you up and guide you on your way
I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
See I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally yeah
I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream fall apart
See I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Cause anything is possible
When you believe yeah

Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize

Room of Angel
You lie, silent there before me.
Your tears, they mean nothing to me,
The wind howling at the window,
the love you never gave,
I give to you,
Really don't deserve it,
but now, there's nothing you can do.
So sleep, in your only memory
and weep, my dearest mother...
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes.
[Goodbye]
It was always you that I despised.
I don't feel enough for you to cry, [oh no]
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes,
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye].
So insignificant, sleeping dormant deep inside of me,
are you hiding away, lost, under the sewers,
maybe flying high, in the clouds?
perhaps you're happy without me...
So many seeds have been sown in the field,
And who could sprout up so blessedly,
If I had died I would never felt sad at all,
I would have never felt sad at all,
You will not hear me say 'I'm sorry'
where is the light, wonder if it's weeping somewhere?
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes,
Goodbye
It was always you i despised.
I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh no,

Slowly giving my site a new look
Well, my RPG site, that is. Check it out HERE. Nothing much but I sort of suddenly had a hankering for a very minimalist appeal. Still have to update the PBEM, LARP and ARTICLES pages.
Its almost ten.
I'm heading home.

Another day of work
And another day of having to navigate them 188+ steps. Only half the elevators were working today, so yes, it was either long-line city or the stairs. And having had enough nightmares of enrollment and adjustment day in DLSU, I opted to do the lose-some-calories-method instead.
Got to visit Comic Quest later in the evening. Vinnie and Carl were nice enough to wait up for me. Hope they enjoyed the brownies I delivered for them! Got free pizza too thanks to... oh God.. I forgot his name.. basta yung isa pang comic guy. Tapos, thanks to the eternally huge generosity of Mr. Simbulan, got copies of Baylans 1 and 2, Styx Taxi and Dork Storm and Dungeons and Dragons comics. Gonna read them soon and send some reviews!
Still haven't seen Spider-man 2. Did see Euro-Trip, which was sort of like a movie attempting to be wittier and... more shocking than American Pie. Surprisingly, I liked it more than American Pie 2 or American Wedding. But it wasn't that funny compared to the original American Pie though. A fun watch and all but in some parts, kinda had jokes you already anticipated coming. Lots of breasts and penises too. But I'd leave you to find out what I mean.
What else... hmm... done seven pages of Diliman and for those who aren't able to visit its website often to read it, burned CD copies of the first ten issues in PDF format is available at Comic Quest for free! The Siglo:Passion pages are still being colored though. After Dean's comment, now I am afraid to submit it until I'm happy with it 100%

Okay...
What a way to start a day! The elevators were NOT working today. So, like everyone else in the building, I had to climb the steps all the way to the floor I work at. The 9th floor. It was a rush, I will admit to you that. And in some ways it wasn't so bad. Made me miss my gym days. Gotta start working out a bit again somehow.
Got a second haircut to slash the side burns and to gobble up the long hair at the rear. It may have looked cool on a certain football player, but it definitely didn't go well with me. Kept the top though. Like how it looks like the top view of a war happening on knee-deep sludge. All I need now is the occasional sound of cannons firing and some blood oozing around the temples.
I wonder if I'll find a camera to post a pic of my new look.
Spider-man 2 everywhere
I know I know. It is really good. I know.
I just haven't seen it yet.
But I will.
What I really want to see though
Imelda.
I want to watch a movie where the wretch actually gets herself entangled in her own lies. For someone who claims not to have any wealth and money, she sure loves to make herself up with really expensive things. I wonder if I get to see her nose grow longer during her interviews. Talo pa niya si Pinnochio.
What I hope I don't see
Either the Volta movie being hailed as an inspiration for ZsaZsa Zaturnnah, which it copied. Or that supposed Darna teleserye being based on the Mango comic. I'm sorry but that comic really was bad in my opinion. Too much Jean Grey influences in it. No real touch of Pinoy-ness. Too much manga-wannabe-ish. Not enough bakya feel to be the real Darna. And mind you, Bakya can be positive.
What a way to start a day! The elevators were NOT working today. So, like everyone else in the building, I had to climb the steps all the way to the floor I work at. The 9th floor. It was a rush, I will admit to you that. And in some ways it wasn't so bad. Made me miss my gym days. Gotta start working out a bit again somehow.
Got a second haircut to slash the side burns and to gobble up the long hair at the rear. It may have looked cool on a certain football player, but it definitely didn't go well with me. Kept the top though. Like how it looks like the top view of a war happening on knee-deep sludge. All I need now is the occasional sound of cannons firing and some blood oozing around the temples.
I wonder if I'll find a camera to post a pic of my new look.
Spider-man 2 everywhere
I know I know. It is really good. I know.
I just haven't seen it yet.
But I will.
What I really want to see though
Imelda.
I want to watch a movie where the wretch actually gets herself entangled in her own lies. For someone who claims not to have any wealth and money, she sure loves to make herself up with really expensive things. I wonder if I get to see her nose grow longer during her interviews. Talo pa niya si Pinnochio.

Silent Hill 4 is finally available!
Got a copy of it already. Spooking me out big time. Still, gotta make space in my memory card for it. Gosh, which game will I sacrifice to play Silent Hill I wonder. Hmm... So far, I'm finding it pretty interesting. The intro isn't as terrific as the first three, but I liked how they approached the credits at the start. The loading screen has a "Ringu" feel to it and I like the voice acting so far. Everyone actually DOES sound real.
More updates soon!
Gaming And Sleep
The Changeling game this weekend ended kinda early when sleep won over the three of us. My apologies to Sam and Seth for the aborted session. Although we did touch on some aspects of the story, I feel like i failed to give a good enough adventure for one session. I do hope to make it up to you guys when the next game comes along.
Thank yous!
Thank you to Sam for his Hongkong pasalubongs. Thank you to Adrian and Nabs for the lunch. And to Seth for being supportive and helpful even as I was going through a depressed streak.
Haircut
Not too happy with my haircut. Wanted something different but being told it reminds one of FPJ has settled it for me. Gonna get another hair cut tomorrow.

FREE COMIC DAY
Giving out ten CD-R copies of the pdf versions of DILIMAN issues 1 - 10! Well, only nine of them are left, since a friend of mine whom I just met yesterday, Raul De Leon (tama ba spelling?) got one already. The remaining nine are available at Vinnie's Comic Quest tomorrow for the event. Hope you catch one! Will be uploading the pdfs on the website soon for all you who wanted to read Diliman but hated having to go through it page by page.
Special thanks again to Kervin who made the PDF version possible.

Net Party
Had a fun time playing emcee to Azrael's online party. Learned from a 20 Questions game things like Az's size 8 shoes, his 5 rolls of tissue in a lifetime, his 8 years old thing and more. For those who were there, just smile at knowing. For those who weren't, ask Az na lang for details. A great event with tuna and beer, sayang lang nga... wala akong natikman don. And there were somethings I wish I never see again.. and yes, pati yon, ayokong matikman yon. LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY again, Azrael!

Must find myself again
Been getting edgy and emotional.
And been sort of lax with my life and self-being.
Gonna go get a haircut, a shave, and start doing some stomach crunches. And I'm gonna finish Diliman issue 13. And I am going to upload the PDF versions of the first ten issues Kervin made for me (which I finally got at last). Got to spend more time with my family. Got to start writing letters to CSU for possible Masteral studies. Got to learn to drive soon. Got to stop hating things which I shall not mention here. Got to get my life back in shape.
Yeah. I gotta.
Cause no one else will for me.
