I had a talk with L. One of those very rare non-phallic conversations that we get to enjoy once in a great-great while. She was thinking about moving to Cebu with her older brother.

She mentioned of a newly opened film school there set up by people directly from Mowelfund.





And now here I am, thinking.

I am now considering relocating to Cebu.

@ A very sudden change in my monotonous life is very much welcome. For months now, every day of my life has become dreadfully routinary; wake up around 5pm - go to work - run my nine hours blabbing on the phonelines - go home and attempt to get a very peaceful sleep and get interrupted either by the hot climate or by Marie (my next room neighbor) listening to some annoying music.

In the middle of it, i just want time to pause and listen to me shout my lungs out.

"STOP!"

There are even times during my journey to work when I would think of jumping out of the vehicle while it's in top speed. Kahit maaksidente ok lang...para lang maiba. Not very logical.

I think Sanity is giving up on me.


I think I shall find my peace in Cebu.



@ There aren't a lot of film schools in Manila. I mean, UP offers the course, but hey, it's me we're talking about here. 'Nuff said.


@ There are a LOT of Cebuano bands I'd like to see. Pulling in from Urban Dub and CAttski as well as Smooth Friction and Happy Days

But then again, like I said, I'm still considering it.

I'm gonna spend my shifts thinking about it.

Pol Medina Jr.




I was wondering what it would be like to color Pol Medina Jr. and it took me about eight hours to find out. It was wierd during the first two hours of convincing myself that he didn't particularly give me the artwork to color, after that it was fine.

I'm still doing what I loved doing way back in preparatory school, do coloring books. Only this time, technology made sure I had more creative control than what those cheap-ass crayons had to offer.

Nax!

I am officially 22 years old.

Getting old.

Because I was so bored at home during my rest day and because I can't sleep, I did this. It's based on a picture taken by Karl de Leon.

A couple of days ago I visited Gerry Alanguilan's website and I got a sight of the range of characters Mars Ravelo created: Lastikman, Dyesebel and, of course, Darna.

Darna got my interest because the comic book came out during the Philippine's more conservative era's; that'sx because imagine a nearly-naked, female super hero gliding around asking for "bato" from his younger brother before she actually takes flight.

So I did this. I played around the concept of "what if Darna were created only recently?" So that explains the multiple piercing in one ear, the fingerless gloves and the belly ring.

I waited for Fete de la Musique only to be disappointed big time.

Elad and I met up at Kenneth's house around 3pm only to find out that Kenneth wasn't coming at all. So we waited for Tua to show up. He did four hours later.

So we caught a bus headed for Antipolo and got off and boarded a jeepney to get to Eastwood. The Happy Meals were playing when we got there and Greyhoundz, Kjwan, Boy Elroy and Monkeyspank followed.

We then went to the Main Stage (the World Music stage) for the event's formal opening and to watch Cynthia Alexander's performance. Splendid opening ceremony with the percussionists and the Cappoeira dancers pouncing on each other. Astig.

After that Elad and Tua wanted dinner. Unfortunately, since I made a promise not to spend more than P200 on a free event and McDo was terribly full, we had to walk all the way to Jollibee. That decision was good, because we finally had our fill without squeezing into a crowd of smelly rock heads; and it was also a bad one because:


@ It was so far from the venue.

@ It rained hard while we were eating and we got stuck in it. Because Tua's idea of fun is pneumonia, we forced our way back to Eastwood, sopping over several establishment to avoid the rain. But we still got wet.

@ We missed some bands, like Dicta License, Radioactive Sago Project and -I wanted to be sick when I found out that I didn't get to watch- Twisted Halo.


Oh, well, C'est la vie, as the old folks would say. When we got back to the venue, we found out from Lawrence (Sugar Free's roadie) that the event was cancelled.

Crap!

I hope next year's gonna a lot better.

Dead Thoughts

@ It feels like all the ailments of summer are taking refuge in my damned body. For three days and counting I have fever, that means nausea and headache pounding my minute brain. I also have bad rhinitis attacks every now and then. And now I have stomach trouble. Thank god I don't have measles, chicken pox and mumps.

@ Speaking of mumps, I haven't caught the thing yet. And now that I'm waaay past puberty, I should be alamred and must take precautions. Scary thought, but I want to see little versions of me running around the house in the future. Damn.

@ Tomorrow is Fete de la Musique.

@ I'm getting sick of that song Sumusunod (I think) by those wretched twins. I keep on hearing ti everywhere I go. Damn.

@ I have accepted the fact that I'm not really much of a line artist. So for months I've been swiping artworks here and there for me to practice on. So now I'm beginning to see a probable career as a colorist. Or is it another shot in the dark?
