“Let October pass”, said Qui-Gon Jobert.

Saw him at the Studio23 party a couple of weeks ago. We’ll, it was more like he sensed me. I saw Jessica with Cookie at the “lounge” area of the party. She told me that Jobert was over the Points of View booth. So, from across the crowded room (or crowded lounge), Jobert looked up and looked at me straight in the eye. He sensed me! Freaky man!

Anyway, he told me that whatever was troubling me, I should just let it go and take it up again first week of November. November 6,7, or 8. I wonder if it has anything to do with my birthday. I wonder if it has anything to do with the comic book. I wonder if it has anything to do with the NU-deal.

Well, whatever it is, I’m trying to take it easy. Trying to focus on the work.
At least for the next two weeks. Of course, I still hope to get the second issue of Batch72 to the printing press this week.

The last issue of Angel Ace is supposed to come out early November. So, that might mean B72 will have to come out 3rd or 4th week of November.

And I was hoping to release it monthly.

I guess I would be able to do that if I were working on it on a 9-5 basis.
But I’m not. And with a job that keeps in the office til midnight, not much time left to work on the comic book at all.

We take what we can.
We keep on going.
We make do with what we have.
And we keep on going.

“Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst.
For life is a play and we’re unrehearsed.”
--Mel Brooks.

I’m just feeling so jittery today.
And I only drank instant.

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 ...
Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...
