If I were tasked to organize party (my birthday party at least) in the first spa movie theatre in the country I would start with the Summer/Beach party theme with refillable popcorn, bite size sandwiches, and ice tea while everybody's watching their choice of either Seinfeld, Friends, Harry Potter on the big screen while getting their own foot spa. Then when everybody's good and ready we'll go

I picked up this kitten by the side of the road some three weeks ago when I was on my way home. Someone left it to die outside in the rain and di ko naman makayang iwanan. She was real skinny at the time (mas payat pa kesa dyan sa picture) but she's got a healthy appetite ever since she was adopted by my other Siamese na kapapanganak lang (that's the adopted brother sa tabi niya sa picture).

I temporarily changed the old format of this blog since something went really wrong with the old one. I tried to change some codes on the HTML format after getting some practice in the offline version (which worked). Until I can figure some way to get the original format to start publishing my entries then I guess this will have to do. Isn't it neat? Click on the archives to see what I mean.

Here's a pretty good reaction from artist Whilce Portacio to the Hulk movie that some people didn't like. I liked it. Subject: Re: [alamat] Re: The Hulk: My turn to nitpick and grit! Saw "Hulk" the day after it came out and loved it. Strange phenomenon...beforehand watching the trailers the CGI seemed rubbery but while actually watching the movie it didn't seem rubbery at all.

I finished the first of two planned online portfolios here. This first one contains pen and ink sketches I did on a very grand sketchpad with a red cover (hence the title). But it's still tentative and if I get to think of a more appropriate title for the album, out it goes. Hehehe... I'm musing here that people might think there's a commie meaning behind it. I'm also thinking the "red" comes

I just cleaned out my personal work space of all the scratch papers, plastic bags, books, sketches, fax papers, receipts, and an assortment of junk. Funny how artists in general can work right through a disorderly environment (I prefer to call it chaotic order) to produce something orderly and b-e-a-utiful. People marvel at the clean lines my final work produces, if they saw how I pencilled them

My temper would be the death of me. I still can't seem to manage it and look at all those little kiddy toes I've stepped on. To think that I used to pride myself in the fact that I love kids, now I've become an ogre. I've lost count of the times I let my temper get the best of me raising my voice against this kid who regularly plays PS2 games here at the shop. I'd be really grateful if he still

I just got back from a very successful Toy Convention at the Megatrade Hall, SM Megamall. I've been there the whole day (except for about an hour when I had to rush back to the shop to make sure that my assistant has his lunch break) and it's been really, really fun. I had so much energy drawing and drawing some stuff in my sketchpad, in the sketchpad of two others, and one fan who bought an

All of us are familiar with those rare times when you think and feel that nothing could ever bring you down. I'm experiencing one of those times right at this very moment. I've just had a very hearty lunch of ginisang monggo, fried bangus, heaping helpings of rice, champorado with loads of evaporated milk, and a slice of sansrival. Yum-yum! Rare are those times when you feel this good after

The computer I'm usually using is all messed up, I can't open any big files in Photoshop since the scratch disks are already full. I'm not really sure what that means but I'm really frustrated with the way things are going. I transferred all the important files to this other PC. I'm abandoning ship and I hope to salvage all the bookmarked sites that I have in that other computer. Now I'm really

The curse of having very formidable padlocks is that they not only keep unauthorized people out, they also keep others from going in if things don't work out the way they should.

Awright! I just finished the second of two West Side strips and submitted it to the paper. Right now I'm all out of ideas where to bring the story next, should I continue on with the school scenes or should I focus on the appearance of a new character? I usually get to decide on the final outcome a couple of hours before the deadline, by then I would be rushing on a rough outline of the story and

I was able to watch another movie last night just to satisfy my curiosity: Darkness Falls. The story starts out really promising with these old sepia pictures and a narration that sets the plot of the movie. The title comes from the name of a small, sleepy coastal town with a dark secret. There lived an old widow named Matilda Dixon in the same town 150 years before, children adored her for the

I'm here right now renting an internet café for an hour (me thinks they're using DSL). The stag party didn't push through *whew!* The story why is worth recounting too. I closed the shop early and jumped at the next available MRT to Makati, I sent a text message to my friend Jorge apologizing for being late but that I was on the way (by this time rain clouds have covered most of the sky).

Oh yeah, we had a big breakfast this morning at the Peninsula Manila in Makati, our first after more than 6 years. Kuya Jim and Ate Gladdys also gave us these neat-o gifts for no reason at all. I got this unique fountain pen with a metal body and luminous colored cap. It has also has these six extra cartridges just in case it runs out.

Here's an interesting question posted in PEx: if you found out you're going to die in 6 months... can you list down 10 priorities, things you would like to do before you die? Here's what I posted based on the given limited time period: These are not necessarily in order but it's a pretty good list. 1.

I'm invited to a stag party tonight in honor of a classmate from high school, it's my first time attending such a thing. What am I supposed to expect? Will I be forced to do some things I would be regretting later on? I'm thinking of giving my friend an advance warning to not make me do things I won't be comfortable with. Nervous? You betcha. But then again maybe I'm just freaking out on this

For the first time in a very long while i'm enjoying peace and quiet in the workplace. There are no kids playing PS2 and those Battle Realms and Beach Head games in the PCs. Those little noise polluters think and act like they own the place, scaring off net surfers off the place. Think I'll settle down to watch some Miyazaki toons.

There are some things I learned from that visit to a friend earlier this afternoon and some of these are the things that I'm still digesting right now: the reversal of roles and the puzzled look of another old classmate at the sight of a large pizza bought for no reason other than for sharing. The reversal of roles that I'm talking about is between two classmates of mine from high school, Jorge

I was thinking about this yesterday and earlier today on my way to work: What does it feel to be in love? It's been a very long time since that I forgot all about it. Then the lines from a song came to mind, "You're just too good to be true, Can't take my eyes off of you. You'd be like heaven to touch I wanna hold you so much, At long last love has arrived, And I thank God I'm alive. You're

There's a recent surge in exhumation of historical personalities like Chris Columbus, Billy the Kid, and now Queen Nefertiti. Purportedly they would be doing some DNA testing, but the question is why only now? Why the exhumation of the bodies one after the other? Maybe they're putting all the DNAs together and cloning them to create the anti-Christ. Hmmm... Starts humming the theme song of

Half-moon sightings on cloudless blue skies are such a wonderful phenomenon. Short of being called a miracle (which I think they are part of the everyday sort) people don't really stop to take notice of it. I was on my way back to the shop after eating a very late lunch at home when I noticed it. The "darker" cyan tone of the sky easily blending to a lighter one as you train your eyes from the

I'm almost finished with the coloring and editing of the latest West Side strips and I must say that I really, really enjoy doing it. Though the snail's pace of the PC can be trying at times the rewards of seeing your work look good is reward enough for me. To think that I'm doing all this detailing for me and a small number of people in the mailing list. Well mostly for myself. When I'm all

Finally, finally I was able to draw the strips. The mood struck me just like that after returning to the shop after a second round of lunch at home. All artists know how hard it is to get into the mood and do something really worthwhile. Deadlines can wait, unless you're a walking assembly line who could do artworks in a snap. I know someone who could do comic strips just like that and he's just

I should be drawing that strip whose deadline is today but since it's a weekend I have a sorry excuse to lay it off till tomorrow since I could submit it on Monday. Geez.

I was finally able to catch up on my rest right at the couch. I was beginning to get bored here at the desk when I thought of getting some strips done, or probably just read a book. One thing led to another till I fell asleep. Good thing too. A bit too late to get some dinner at the mall, maybe I'll just grab a quick bite at Dunkin Donuts after this. PEx is now back online.

The movie Ang Tanging Ina ("An Outstanding/Exceptional Mom") tarring comedy queen Ai-Ai Delas Alas is a winner in my book. Directed by a newcomer(?) Wenn Deramas the story tells the story of the travails of a single mom with more than a dozen kids (a product of three marriages wherein the husbands always succumb to a tragic death). Most of the kids can be a real pain in the rear since some of

I haven't had a very good ending to yesterday. It's all about the artists' support group meeting last night. No, I can't blame anyone about what happened.

I'm still waiting for the text message my friend is gonna send me if there will be a get together with his gang tonight or not. Honestly I'm really looking forward to spending time with them (these are the same friends of his from high school) and if ever it doesn't push through I won't be disappointed. I can always go back to my favorite haunt and draw some more in my sketchpad while sipping hot

This is the first time that the evaluation of an emode test shocked the socks out of me, but before they gave the results I was informed that I'm currently 11,339 days old (uh... thanks.). Here's the result: Heff, you're a POLITICIAN! Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Politician which

Here's an excerpt from an interview with comic creator Carlo Vergara: BW: You said that the characters are based on real people. Are you part of the cast? CV: Admittedly, each of the characters has a part of me. I'd like to think that's common in a lot of creators when they write different characters. The thing that pops into my mind is that in the same way the Creator imbued not a part of

I did it. I came fro my friend's office late afternoon. He even fed me some lunch (what gave him the idea that I hadn't eaten yet?). He was there with his older brother and I even sat through a business meeting together with his two brothers. It was really, cool. He even said that I should have been there earlier so that we could have eaten lunch together. Wow. I met his youngest brother, Joel,

They say that confession is good for the soul, that's why I have another confession to make. Do you know when things said or done are too good to be true that you tend to think that indeed they are? You can still strike a balance somewhere in there. The problem begins when you have been assured over and over that it's not the case. Take my friend from high school for instance. I have so much

It's been raining last Saturday and it seems that everyday the intensity just seems to increase. The glass door and the windows of the shop have already begun to fog. I could only think how wonderful everything is outside. Though business have been slow I can't help think of the blessings of being able to witness such a wonderful scene outside. Innocent as it may seem I just can't get over my

I had another birthday celebration for an old friend from high school and his fiancee last night. I consider it a privilege for him to be joining me in celebrating my birthday. Why? Back then in high school he was the ringleader of all the bullies in our batch with connections in the upper classmen, he's also the son of a high ranking military officer. While I was one of the more quiet ones who

I just finished another pen sketch of two not-so-new characters on my sketchpad. Everything's so good I can't even help myself look back on those I've done and admire the handiwork. After constructing the initial pencil sketches I do the outlines and finish it with a black ballpen. I learned the use of this wonderfful pen from a classmate of mine from college. He does these incedibly

So sorry for missing out on a couple of days. I felt so bad after clicking the archives button and realizing that about three week's worth of posts cannot be read due to some unknown error. I thought then "What's the use of writing if it cannot be viewed?" A major blow to my artistic pride. I hate it. But life must go on. Hopefully what happened back then was just a fluke.

Aren't massages supposed to help you relax? I had my very first foot spa and massage last night and the sole still hurts until now. I thought at first that it was all normal to feel some pain while being massaged but what happened last night was sheer torture. I think the masseuse was trying to kill the nerves there in my feet.

My sister gave me a Marithe+Girbaud vanity bag, my mom and dad gave me P500.00 each, my college friend, Karl, gave me a special *NSync album (hawhaw!) and an opportunity to publish a brand new strip in their magazine, and then a high school friend gave permission to move the celebration to next Saturday and

One of the biggest problems writers and comic artists dread have hit me early on right before deadline: Mental Block. I'm caught in a rut, I have several situations for the next strip and I can't pick one of them. Do I use the main character's point of view to establish the joke or do I use the other character's? Trying to come up with something funny is turning out to be something I want to cry

A highly spirited man once said "Dude, there's no existing holy mess in this world that hasn't been bothering anybody and everybody, like, since forever." I thought about this after typing my journal entry last night. He's right. Which made me wonder, what was I thinking all along?

Just got home from our artists' support group meeting called the Artists' Den. Finally finished the first part of the discussion, the one I was dreading about for a couple of weeks now. How was it, you ask? If I was to rate the discussion, I'd give it an average grade. I lead the discussion and I'm giving myself an average grade. Quite ironic that one of the topics we discussed was about

I dreamed of John Goodman again last night. He's my favorite actor all the way from his Roseanne days. He appeared in the second part of my dream and quite subtle at that. It was I believe in a bar/saloon near an alley in Quiapo (the whole thing had a yellowish tinge to it making it look like a scene from an old western). There were some people who were either paying homage to somebody or asking

Why does reality have to suck so much? This was something that's bothering me earlier today while I was trying to recall my dream last night. I didn't have a very good start right in the middle of breakfast. I guess I shouldn't have reacted in such a way too, that instead of letting it get to me I should have let it all pass around me like a brick wall. The thing with fantasy is that you can

I got to watch the VCD part of the Linkin Park album that I bought last Sunday. I haven't listened to their music and I probably won't given the contents of the lyrics I read over the internet. But I have to admire these guys for coming up with a great concept album that includes a booklet with the lyrics and some shots of the graffiti artwork they did while recording it.

Some thoughts on turning another year: Yeah it's been okay so far. The morning was great, my family's really great with all the birthday greetings and birthday hugs and birthday smiles. Everything's great. Really. Even my Tita Letty from Malolos sent me a text message saying: The day is not yet over. Nakahabol pa ako.

I hate it whenever I'm in a creative straitjacket. When anything that requires thinking becomes a struggle. I probably didn't help with me being in front of the computer surfing the net from morning till night with the radio on plus the TV showing the most boring movie I've ever watched. I got a bit of a cold that ended with a mild headache that made thinking even more of a struggle. I was

I swear to never eat another Ebi Tempura and dumplings in Saisaki for years on end. Even after so many months of staying away from Japanese buffet, the moment I took a bite of the dumplings and the tempura I was ready to surrender. Don't get me wrong, it tastes really great, but if you're nearly full from a couple of plateful of Japanese food prior to that then you would know what I'm talking

Now that the exciting phase of planning is over the most important thing to ask oneself now is: Now what? We already announced the plans for the return of the workhops in the artists' support group, divided the crowd into smaller groups, and scheduled them accordingly. I'm looking at the two topics we have to dissect and expand in time for next week's meeting and my mind's blanking out. There's

It's been close to three years ever since we established an artist's support group and it's almost a year since we last met together doing activities that fostered creativity bonding different artist together. Back then I was one of those who helped thought of those activities I wasn't a facilitator. I'm an introvert, I don't talk to people much. Now that the group's meeting again for weeks

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome's a new medical term I read from the Kevin and Kell strip yesterday. What I found out on the net about it looked very interesting: CTS occurs when tendons or ligaments in the wrist become enlarged, often from inflammation, after being aggravated. The narrowed tunnel of bones and ligaments in the wrist pinches the nerves that reach the fingers and the muscles at the base of

Is the barber considered an artist or a craftsman? We, three friends who founded an artists' support group, discussed about the difference between a craftsman and an artist. A craftsman is someone who by undergoing apprenticeship under a master artist got the hang of replicating the same work of art over and over again almost never deviating from the same format. If ever the craftsman deviates

I finally submitted two weeks worth of comic strips to Philippine News and just in time too. I got the notice from their webmaster and layout artist, Rey last Friday leaving me with three days to do the comic strips.

There's something really awesome when you see an old friend after all these years. There's still that unspoken bond between two individuals that remain unbroken even after some years of no contact between them. It's like what I said to one of our high school pals on his despedida party: "The friendship will always be there and it will never be broken. Just think of it as being put on suspended

I finally got to watch the X-Men movie last night! All I can say is it's all worth the expensive movie ticket paid for in Rockwell mall. The story set the stage for the appearance of the all powerful Phoenix in the third installment. Wolverine's character stands out again along with Mystique, who thankfully makes a comeback this time.

Should I or shouldn't I get the Meteora album by Linkin Park? Why? Well first of all the CD comes with a neat behind the scenes look at the creation of the album (a steal at P500), I'm impressed with their work ethic towards the creating the best possible music they could offer, and I wanna have a goatee like Rob does.

On my way to Greenhills this morning I saw an ad for Ricky Reyes' beauty parlor on the side of a bus. As my mind started to wander I thought of how Ricky Reyes would delegate his staff to work on "lesser" mortals but he would take great care of prominent personalities as a testimony of his work. This thought led to how most artists would only work on the best and finest materials to do their

Another birthday's coming up and I sent a round of invitations to friends from high school, college, and whatever group I feel like inviting out at the moment. I don't subscribe to having a big noisy bash when I started this tradition back in high school.

We talked about some ideas on the added features, showed him the finished artworks colored by my friend Ryan. He

Ryan dropped by the shop last night and we finished two Studio Ghibli movies back to back. Here are my reactions on the two: In my opinion, Porco Rosso (Kurenai No Buta) tells a better story than the next one. Ever since the start of the movie humor is liberally weaved within the dialogue and the situations. You have an anthromorphic pig for a hero (said to have cursed himself out of despair), a

This is a part of a series of poems done three years ago. Apparently experiencing extreme emotional poles can do wonders to one's poetic side (this is a paean to my best Friend). MS Word records the date I put it on file: Saturday, July 29, 2000, 10:12:58 PM CANDY-COATED LOVE SONNET Sweetness, sweet witness… That would I ask for a peek. What other surprise have you got up on your sleeves? Gifts

"How do you know exactly when you find your true love?" This was my first question to my friend Lee last night on our way to the bus stop. It was already past two in the morning and we just came from our newly married friend's husband's apartment in Makati. Theirs was a whirlwind romance but it wasn't a case of love at first sight. Aesthetically speaking, they weren't ready for the meeting and

I finally got to attend Sunday service at VCF's new building at The Fort. I had my li'l sis drive me to the place since I wasn't really sure of the shuttle service schedule going around the place. Cool place and it's even right beside the new International School! I told my best friend in the mail, we're looking at future Sunday services with an international flavor. Yow!

Mark was the one I'm closest to in our group during our high school years in Don Bosco. We only got to know each other on the second year when he tagged along with us during lunch time. He's plump and part Chinese though he doesn't talk nor look like one except for his almond shaped eyes and brownish hair (everything else about him is very Filipino). He can always be counted on to spice things

Speaking of settling down, one of my friends called and told me she got married yesterday. I'm surprised it didn't surprise me. The guy's a Filipino, around seven years older than her, he lives in Fremont, California and he's quite spontaneous just like my friend. She half expected me to, maybe, get mad at her for going into something really big without informing us. Well, me particularly, since

Reno, one of my old friends from elementary school is now going to be a father. Good for him. Seems like almost everyone I know is getting married and having kids while I'm still stuck in bachelorhood. Not that I'm complaining, it still has its advantages but it sucks big time when the weekend looms and I have nobody to keep me company. Half of all my friends have their own thing to do and the

"Will I be capable of the same heartless acts as the others were in the time of war?" This question among others are the things I pondered on after watching Grave of the Fireflies last night. It was my first time to watch this anime and the others who said they cried (albeit silently) while watching it were right. I could have cried too if I was watching this alone. There were a lot of memorable

Comic Compilation Update: Someone in the mailing list asked me to consider sticking to the traditional print format since the masses are as yet unfamiliar with my work. The letter sender has a point but I don't think I'm even aiming at the masses with the book (the material and humor of the strips doesn't even reach out to these folks). I replied with the following reasons why I'm leaning more

Comic Compilation Update: I had a talk earlier with my cartoonist friend and he told me about the idea where PvP Online artist Scott Kurtz mentioned CD-ROMIX in his blurb. I was, of course, excited with the prospect of the whole thing. Not only is it much cheaper to produce but I could control the number of copies that are needed to produce this stuff! Wow. I could sell this not in the bookstores

I'm watching my all time favorite anime Tonari no Totoro on the PS2 while there aren't any customers. I'm watching this anime sans subtitles 'cause I don't think there's an english sub for it. Anyway I think it's more creative in watching this stuff without it since then I could just figure out what they're saying through the actions and the situations. I also remember watching this over a

Walt Disney's Treasure Planet is another one of those happy surprises I discovered while on board Singapore Airlines back to Manila. I admit I was one of those people who quickly judged the film as nothing but a poor parody of a classic that's best left alone. I took a chance on watching this one after a couple of Mr. Bean and Powerpuff Girls cartoons on the small screen left me wanting more (

They say that you don't really value things until you lose them. This isn't always accurate. I lost a lot of valuable things I made and collected over a period of three years yesterday. All along I thought the PC technician would be careful enough to back up the files in the computers in this shop, all along I thought that my shop assistants would inform the technicians that they need to be

The Way Home is arguably one of the best foreign movies I've seen so far. Dedicated to all grandmothers the movie is simple but very, very touching and this summary I've copied from the official site tells it all: "THE WAY HOME tells the touching story of two people as they overcome their differences in an effort to find a bond of understanding. The silent and patient grandmother, a creature of

This is a view of the Queen Victoria Building along the corner intersection of Druitt, Park, and George Street in downtown Sydney. I'm a bit sad today since this is the last day of our vacation in Australia. I didn't notice that I finished my surfing the net at past two in the morning. Did you all know that things get wilder in this neighborhood during that time? Yeah! People became really

This is a view of the Circular Quay where most of our activity centered on this day, but that's going ahead of the story. Today saw one of the best and most fun filled days of our tour here in Australia. I didn't immediately go to sleep last night after coming from the internet rental here in the neighborhood of our hotel. After watching the TV, I closed all the lights and watched the scene from

Oh yeah, I'd also like to call your attention to the new image of this week's Philippine News online which, in my opinion is way, way better than the previous layout that they did. They also started segregating the strips, giving each a page of its own along with a moderated poll discussion. My strip, West Side can be found here. The new characters I made for the strip are already starting to

G'day and cheers from the land down undah! That's right, I'm now writing this piece from Sydney, Australia. I'm still a bit nauseous from that last part of the flight going down here (take my advice, never, ever eat sticky rice that tastes like mushrooms before landing. Not only does it lead to vertigo, the taste also stays in your mouth throughout the day resulting in... Mushroom trauma! *

I often find myself staring into space whenever fear strikes me. I freeze and myriad thoughts race through my mind trying to make sense of what it is I'm scared of at that moment. I'm scared of being alone right now. A friend left for another country and I keep thinking that it happened again. It always happens whenever I get close to a person, they would just up and leave me alone. I've taken

Have I mentioned that I'm already a week behind in my self-imposed deadline for the book? Oh, sure, I still find time to finish reading 3 books, surfing the web, relax at some café during the weekends and deny the reality of it all (have I told you I already finished my website? Totally cookie-cutter but at least it works). B-but it's like I never tried! I did... I really did. Like I tried doing

Now it's settled, we're going to Australia on Wednesday. I know I'm expecting this but somehow there's a tinge of melancholy knowing I wouldn't be able to meet my two friends in that country. Why? Because we will be spending our time sight seeing and hopping from one city to another all in the space of 3 days. The plane takes off at 6 pm and we'll stop over in Singapore for how many hours before

Now meal times can be fun! I first saw this at Cynthia Bauzon's blog and I think it's weird and cool at the same time. Hot on the heels of Pepsi Blue that looked like carbonated Toilet Duck, now comes "Stellar Blue" ketchup (released last April 7, Monday). I'd like to see the other ketchup colors like purple, pink, orange and teal (these came in rainbow-colored, mystery bottles last year and

I'm back! What a week I had, first of all two Fridays ago, we had our net connection cut-off for one flimsy reason like having our ISP upgrade their servers without telling their customers (get this, after more than 10 days they're still down and out. Like... yeah right! ). On top of that my assistant got a really nasty rash all over his body so he didn't report to work and I didn't get to go to

I didn't know that building a website could be that hard. I mean I'm already using a template and I'm still having a hard time getting it to work the way I want it. Things get screwy in between the layout and the preview. Could this be the work of online gremlins?

Here's one recent sample of a creative streak. It's a large pen and ink caricature of me that I did in my big offline journal. A journal that's also a witness to some of my best and, sometimes, worst drawings. One that's also a witness to the first pathetic attempts in drawing SD versions of myself. I think I finally got the hang of it this time. Whaddaya guys thunk?
