It’s already 2 in the afternoon and haven’t done anything.

I should have just stayed home and slept in my bed and just come in after lunch.

So, I come in this morning to be greeted by the news that the stuff we came up with yesterday was not accepted by client.

We made two things which we really, really liked but client says they want to see the “bigness”. Ugh! That word again. The “bigness”?! Next thing you’ll know they’ll want FIRST and LEADER in the damned headlines again.

So, we’re now supposed to work on it again.

But I think they’re taking it out of my hands since we’re really supposed to work on the M-Project.

And now here I am trying to jump-start my brain again with instant coffee and creamer.

Go brain! Go!

Start

Think

Now


AARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH


Must. Go. To. Sleep.


NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


It’s already Wednesday and we haven’t really made that much work.

Nuts!

This can’t be happening.

Please God, set me free!!!

AAARRRRGGGH!!!

I’m trying to drown in the music of the Mutual Admiration Society, from Definition Records, which, to my surprise, is a local compilation, put together by none other than, Toti Dalmacion. M.A.S. is now available in Tower. I think it’s out elsewhere, just don’t know where.

I bumped into Quark in Tower. Said that Monsterbot got signed up. Said that he flipped through THE LOST. Said that it somewhat reminded him of Promethea. Said that he had to go. He was buying a Nirvana shirt.

At Tower, saw that Jolina has a new CD out, only P275, it actually had nice packaging, it was a red, round can, which, unfortunately had her picture on it, but it looked pretty, the can, not her, and it said something about “The Klubber’s Guidebook”, which made me wonder if the album is her attempt at doing something techno, consider her last album was a “revival” of love songs.

I hate that word… “revival”, sounds like you’re bringing back something from the dead. And you know what happens wherever you try to do that, these “revived” things are never-ever the same (and they usually try to eat your brain in the process). Why can’t they just call it a “remake”. Because that’s what you’re trying to do to the song anyway—you are “re-making” it into something new, and not just “reviving” it and trying to sing it in the same way it first came out.

Hmmm…

There… I think I’m awake now.

No more coffee.

I wonder if I should risk another round of instant coffee.
But I’m already out of creamer.

2:27pm on my computer clock. I good enough time to start working I guess.

Budjette Tan 2023 update

Hi all! If you have somehow stumbled upon this old blog looking for something TRESE related, then you've come to right place.   Well... kind of.   Hi! I'm Budjette Tan, the writer of the comic book TRESE, which I co-created with Kajo Baldisimo.  You can get updates about the book over at https://www.facebook.com/TreseComics   I sometimes talk about the other things I'm writing about at https://www.facebook.com/BudjetteTanStories   And I'm also on Instagram, where I post about what I'm reading, eating, and of course about Trese https://www.instagram.com/budjette/   Over at Twitter, I'm just RT-ing and posting about comics, movies, and whatever else pops up on my feed https://twitter.com/budjette  I'm also on TikTok, but I don't know what to do with that account, so there's nothing to see there. And here's a picture of me about to enter a balate tree... it's not the Great Balete Tree and it did not transport me to another realm. But it wa

PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living
