Babbling Point

Last week, I "consulted" my I-Ching cards on what will happen to B72 and the cards said, expect a slight delay, but don't worry, the project will push through. Well, of course, that's just my interpretation of what the card said, but essentially, that was the message. Today, due to Typhoon Jolina, B72 is slightly delayed. Will be bringing it to the printing press on Monday. Already had a chat with the press and they said it can be ready in two weeks. God bless these slight delays.

It's 3:07 am. Am at Brandie's office. He's now doing the final lay-out of BATCH 72 #1. Will be bringing this to the printing press later today. And if all goes well, we should have printed copies by next week! Brandie said that he got teary-eyed after he read Mark's article. Hate to admit it, but I got teary-eyed too. (And you'll have to buy the book if you want to know what Mark wrote... he he he) Here we go, kids... six years after it was conceptualized, three years after the first issue saw print, it's all finally happening! And it's all good! "These are the days you'll remember. These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break. And when you do you'll know how it was meant to be. See the signs and know their meaning. It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be. Hear the signs and know they're speaking to you, to you." --10,00 Maniacs

Alamat is now in myGlobe! Text ALAMAT to 2355 and you’ll get the latest news about Alamat Comics! Right now, you’ll just get a text about our titles that are currently in the stores, and you should have bought all of them by now. The program that makes this possible is still being beta-tested, so there will still be some glitches. Just in case you’re wondering, Alamat did not make some multi-million dollar deal with Globe. This new service is open to everyone with a Globe Handyphone. It’s called Text Site and anyone can make their own T-Site. Just log-on to: www.myglobe.com.ph and click on MyServices. From there, you’ll go to a page where you can select “Text Group and Text Site.” You can then begin to set-up your T-Site. Note: for some reason, it takes Globe two days to approve the “domain name” of your Text Site. Fee: you only pay an annual fee of P300.00. (And no, you don’t get one peso for every person that texts your site.) The myGlobe site is still a bi...

I'm online again!!! Ahhh... I really need an internet connection at home. I really need a new and faster computer... and maybe a DSL connection. What I really need to do is focus on B72. Went to PWU last Friday and distributed flyers. If at least ten of those kids would buy the book, then the trip would have been worth it. There's a PWU local band called Planet Mimic. I predict that they will be the next big thing... or at least, of the next big thingees. Anyway, since I was restless last night and couldn't get online I started reading SMOKE AND MIRRORS again. Don't know why. Maybe it was because it was the book on the top of my pile of books. Re-read that Hollywood story, about the writer who goes to L.A. and goes through the torture of having to rewrite his besting novel novel about Charles Manson, into a b-movie script about a serial killer who gets reicarnated in a video game, just to please the studio execs. Maybe I now identify with the chara...
