One good NP picture, deserves another! So here it is.

Notice that I still wore that blasphemous Benneton wristwatch (I no longer wear watches).
Notice that JHAI is still with us.
Notice that ELAD is SO F@#!CKING THIN.
Notice that KENNETH looks so clean.
Notice thet TUA looks so innocent.

Yep, the idiosyncrasies brought by remeniscing.

And as I've promised myself before I have recreated Bong. Here he is.



Only I've given him a new name.
He's now Ian and like I said he's no longer an assasin he's just a spy now. He was originally my age, but now I made him 18 and based on my life when I lived with my sister. So IAN lives with his excessively strict sister, making it almost impossible to accomplish any mission, let alone attend to one.

I am writing the script for his first, and possibly, only adventure; which involves a rock event, a a pretty rock journalist and a scandal that could wreck the local rock scene. Very ambitious if you ask me, considering I haven't started yet.

In my quest to modernize Darna by getting her out of her traditional costume (though I seriously respect Mars Revelo I must admit that her costume in the Mango Comics release made her look like a Baywatch babe than a superhero), I drew this in the middle of a sleepless night while listening to RX.

And as you can see I'm not really good at doing faces. Actually the only reason I did this drawing is to have something to color. Yes, I draw to color. All I need now is a coloring book and crayons, leave me in one corner and you'll still find me there in three hours...well maybe not coloring book and crayons; a PC and a scanner.
There ya go.

Just last Saturday I attended the Flame Monthly Crowd held at Congo Grill in Ortigas. After all the advertising and the text brigade that we did, only a few people showed up.

• Janice
  
• Beth
  
• Vanessa
  
• Roselle
  
• Irene
  
• Cherry
  
• Teresa
  

I was the only guy who came so I know it was gonna be a long night.

Earlier that day I met up with Teresa at the Graduate School entrance over at UST just because she won't be able to stay for the night's activities. When I got there I saw Janice lugging around Colayco Park, telling me that she has a class and we should wait for her before we met up with Vanessa. I left her with her classmates to get look for Teresa.

As I was standing by the Graduate School door, I saw her walking into the scene, with long hair and a college-student-on-a-vacation get up. I was warned weeks before by Cherry when she texted me, "...she looks prettier now..." but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. She was not "pretty." That's an understatement. She was stunning. Seriously. We went up to the Grad Building because she was to meet up with someone, and then we proceeded to hang out by the Lover's Lane* where we stayed until Janice's class was over.

So after meeting up with Janice we headed for the Quezon Ave MRT Station where we were meeting Vanessa.

I AM SO PROUD OF VANESSA. Basta. She is attending a scriptwriting workshop and I'm insanely jealous because she is given an opportunity to break into the scene.

And along with Teresa, we then went straight to Congo Grill dinner. She was supposedly on her way home since she could not possibly stay out late...but ended up hanging out with us until 9:00pm because she wanted to wait for Cherry.

The night was both enjoyable and annoying.

It was supposedly a Welcome Home / Despidida Party for Wacko, since he got home for vacation and would be coming back to Cebu in two days' time. But no sign of him. He texted later that night that he had some family emergency to attend to. DANG. We haven't seen him for almost a year and it sure looks like we have to wait for another year before we ge a chance to see him again.

And so CHERRY and I spent the night mulling around BAYWALK, atlking about stuff and observing the natural mating pattern of the common Filipino ipis-dagat. Hwat a layp!


IT SUCKS!

So after almost three years I finally saw her. Charry texted me before that she looks prettier noe, but nothing could have prepared me...I felt my knees shake and I almost wilted when I saw her walking towards me. I didn't know what to do so I pretended I didn't see her.

So this is our new "relationship" now? We've been elevated from spending hours talking on the phone to shutting up when we're actually together. Isn't that just twisted?

Last night Cherry texted me again, saying that she's done some thinking...that I should try again and not be afraid this time to fail. I did some thinking of my own and I have made up my mind, though I'm not promising that I would stick to it, but at least I've made a decent, selfless decision.

No matter how much it hurts, I've decided that I will not make a move. In her situation it's easy for me to take advantage and end up with her, only because she thinks that no one else will take her in. She's still undergoing a lot of pain and is under the impression that since she already has a baby nobody would ever love her.

I will not make a move because I want her to realize that she is wrong- that she is a wonderful person with or without a child and there will be others. Maybe she does end up with a decent man or maybe I would be with someone else then I will understand that that is probably how it should be; because she'd with someone she loves not someone she voluntarily forced herself to be with for lack of options.

You may call me stupid. Heck, maybe I am, but I really don't care. We're talking about her happiness here, and that's something that shouldn't be taken for granted.

Until then I would have to wait. Again.

This is gonna be so cool! Green Arrow standing by a fallen Green Lantern surrounded by broken arrows and...IS GREEN ARROW WEARING A POWER RING???
