Last night, got out of the office at 9pm, after porrfing reading the mechanics for this his promo (mechanics which were written a week ago and could have been checked by client way back then, but they didn't.)

So, needless to say, I was the last one to arrive at my birthday dinner.
A grand entrance. :)
All of the guys were seated at the furthest table in the back.
The moment I entered the restaurant, they started to sing happy birthday and didn't stop til I got to the table.
Wonderful!
What can I say, I was the star of the whole place. :) he he he

We had our fill. I think we ordered something from every page of the menu.

Ended up at Dencio's afterwards for a couple of drinks.
This branch is connected to a Par-mini-golf-place.
College kids were all over the holes. (hmmm... that didn't sound too good)
Anyway, guess they missed that Par44 craze when it all started years ago.
Geez... I feel old.

Got the Assunta canlendar from Mark and Petite.
Yeah... something to keep me happy all year `round. :)

Today, Saturday, got out of the house 6pm.

Met up with Dave, Carl, and Arvie at Megamall.
Carlo "Avatar" Santos later joined.
It was fun to be with the guys again and talk about comics books.
More fun was seeing all the new artwork from all of them.
I half-expected Dave to whipp out a new script from his bag, but he had nothing new to show.
He did say that he's been rewriting the AVATAR scripts.

Carl's new project is damn funny! Scheduled for a summer release.
We already figured out who to cast for the movie version.
We'll pitch it to Viva as soon as the book is done. :)

Got to see some pin-ups and sketches of AVATAR from Carlo.

Arvie showed me sketches and breakdowns for the anthology story.

Well, seems like 2002 is going to be an exciting year for comic books.

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
