TRESE TXTS Last night, I had this text chat with Kajo: KAJO: Budj! When’s the Komikon? I want to get ready for it! BUDJ: Oct 21 KAJO: Alright! I’ve got a lot of things I want to sell. Including TRESE #1 to 8. (At which point, I thought, “Trese #1 to 8? But we’re just working on #6. Oh no! I’m late with my scripts! DOH!”) BUDJ: Yup! TRESE # 1 to 8! And A lot of people are looking for NWA! Btw, the Komikon will be the anniv of Trese. We need to have a gmik for it. KAJO: We can wear Kambal masks! BUDJ: hehehe. I don’t think we’ll be able to pass-off as twins. KAJO: hahaha. You’re right. We’ll just make a poster. Anyway, we hope to be able to upload TRESE #6 in the next couple of weeks. (And I hope to finish writing #7 and #8 in the next couple of weeks as well)

At the back seat of a Death Cab Last week, I was driving home and was tuned in to NU107. I started to hear the opening tunes of Death Cab for Cutie’s "I Will Follow You Into The Dark". I’ve actually heard this song before, but it was only that particular night that I listened to every word of the lyrics. Love of mine some day you will die But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark The opening lines of the song struck me as not very optimistic. Quite morbid, actually. So, I listened more intently. No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of a spark If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark And as I drove up the fly-over that lead to EDSA, I began to get teary-eyed. This knot built at the bottom of my throat and wanted release. You and me have seen ever...
