Vitamin Q says , "In Manila, there is a subdivision (housing project) where all the streets are named after beauty queens." Does anyone which subdivision he's talking about and what are the names of the streets?

SUPER FRIENDS Last weekend, we launched the JUSTICE LEAGUE downloads in myGlobe. Today, we just got initial numbers of the downloads. As expected, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman were the top three most downloaded characters. Martian Manhunter was at the bottom of the list. (Poor Martian.) When we put the ad up in the office, people would pass-by and say, "Who's the green guy?", "Is that Green Lantern? Why is he black?" Ugh! I think I gave up explaining after I got asked that for the 33rd time. Text JL to 2375 for a quick list of Justice League icons you can get. he he he... shameless plug You can also take a look at the JUSTICE LEAGUE ICONS and TEXT CARDS here.

A STAR IS RE-BORN Just read that James Robinson and Tony Harris are working on a new Starman story. No release date yet, but looking forward to read the adventures of Jack Knight again. Got my Tony Harris-fix recently with JSA: THE UNHOLY THREE , a story that had an interesting cliffhanger at the end of the first issue and a second issue that ended almost like GOLDEN AGE... with one big fight!

More local comics / zines... and from the looks of it, they plan to publish something in full-color. I met some of them at the C3CON. Glad to know they're pushing through with new projects. The comic book scene is alive and kick'n. (The trick is to keep it going) Below is their intro, found in their site. BLUE SHUFFLE WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD!!!

Now listening to Barbie's Cradle PLAYING IN THE FIELDS . I think this is what kept my sane the whole day. (Although I did go berserk several times.) She really has a lovely voice. Looks lovely too. :) Which reminds me, we still need to give Barbie her copy of WASTED: THE FINAL EDITION, which contains her intro. Hey Gerry! When are you free to attend Barbie's next gig? Below are the lyrics to EVERYDAY. July loves this track, which is why we have to put it on heavy-rotation here at the office. So, it's now also my favorite song. Sounds like something Kupcake would write. Ahh... I miss those guys. Everyday You've come so far Just to say that you love me Oh i know yes i know But i'd like to hear you say it everyday When i brush my teeth And you drive the car Sweep me off my feet Take me very far away everyday Please take me high on Your mighty wings You know i'd really like love to fly I'm a leaf in the sky

6:19pm Is the day over? I wish it was. I wish I was home getting ready to watching the next episode of ALIAS. But I still need to get several things done here. So, maybe I’ll be home in time to watch the 1am airing of the show. Maybe. The long weekend was spent recharging… sleeping and I only went out at night. (A flashback to my vampire days.) Got a copy of TAKIPSILIM, another comic book project put together by the La Sallian’s Graphics and Arts Team. This is the third year they’ve been able to pull off this project. Glad that a school org has been able to keep a comic book project going. Ateneo’s HEIGHTS did once. ComicCol now has two under their wing. UP… well, UP Grail has been talking about their Portfolio project for the past two(?) years. Funny, considering there are a lot of good artists in UP Fine Arts and none of them have seemed to put together any comic book project. Maybe they’re just not into that sort of thang! Maybe we just never get any of
