Babbling Point

Diana, the heroine we call Wonder Woman, was going to lose her virginity. "I'm not sure how Wizard got the information, though I may well have been chatting with them and its very possible that I mentioned it, although later in an interview I did say that it was only a plan," explains Jimenez . "I told them as I was discussing the next year's plans although I didn't think it wasn't going be such a big deal. I don't know why, but I just didn't think it would be such a big deal." Hmmm... now, this would be great way to explain to kids about the birds and the bees and supermen. Reminds of that joke that that involed Superman, Wonder Woman, and Invisible Man. Uhhh... nevermind.

Pinoys take the high road HIGH ROADS #1 Written by Scott Lobdell; art and cover by Leinil Yu and Gerry Alanguilan. Colors by Edgar Tadeo. 32 pages, $2.95, in stores on April 3. A new Cliffhanger title makes its splashy debut. In the final days of WWII, U.S. Army Captain Nick Highroad is dangling from the side of a mansion carved out of ice at a secret Nazi compound located in the Arctic! How did he get there? And who are the diminutive English actor, the former Fuehrer's mistress, and the ex-kamikaze pilot who seem to be his only friends? Find out most (but not all) the answers in this high-impact, high-concept, high-drama first issue. I just wish that Leinil's next project would be more Pinoy-oriented or at least have a Filipino character. Then again, maybe I should just shut up and write my own comic book and let people what they want to do. :)

Life-Envy Grace says I suffer from life-envy. Same ailment that Roach supposedly has. My life-envy to become a "professional" comic book writer has been made worse ever since I found out that J.Torres is Filipino. Got to read his comic book SIDEKICKS and loved it. Somewhat reminded me of BATCH72. Just read J.Torres line-up of books that are coming out this year. Wow... all I can say is... WOW! I like the JASON AND THE ARGOBOTS book. Looks like fun. Looks like the type of thing that would get kids reading comic books. Hay naku... well, as Gaiman said, "Write. Finish stuff." I still Gerry that plot. Should get it done this week. Then there's the job that lies ahead and from the looks of things, the next couple of weeks will be crazy! The fun never stops.

BABBLING ABOUT OUR MOBILE FUTURE from TheFeature.com "An alliance of no substance. We at Microsoft were left scratching our heads, asking ourselves, 'Is that it?'" Juha Christensen, vice-president of Microsoft's mobility group, on Nokia's Series 60 software platform announcement. "My strong suspicion is that in the near term more people will lose data on their PDAs by running over them in their driveways than they will by viruses. That's not to say the virus threat won't increase, but right now it doesn't seem too damaging." Frank Prince, senior analyst, Forrester Research "The growth of wireless connectivity is faster even than the growth of the Internet." Alex Kanakaris, chief executive, Kanakaris Wireless "We think, based on what we see now in Europe and Asia, that music, as well as gaming, are going to be two of the hottest things that are going to be available on wireless devices when 3G tech...

That Damned Collective Unconscious Way back 1995, Dave asked me to be editor of a comic series he was writing. It was all called "Templars" and my Hollywood-pitch for it would be, "It's James Bond meets magic." It was all about espionage, intrigue, and magic being used by terrorists. It gave the term "black ops" new meaning. It was supposed to be illustrated by Taps. He did a grand total of two pages. Dave ended up writing over 25 scirpts for that series. None of them have ever been illustrated because we could never find the right guy. Flash forward to today. Saw this new Image book called REX MUNDI . And it's all about templars! Had to call up Dave an tell him all about it. It's not exactly Dave's plot, but the foundation of the story is the same. That sucks. Oh well... Maybe one of the days that story will be drawn and published.

Unholy Online Yo Jo is finally bloggin'. Check out the UNGOD 's blog. Strange to read Yo Jo's throughts and musings in english. It's like a totally different person. Well, not really. I'm rambling. I'm babbling. It's 10am and I need to write for a dozen merchandising materials.

My computer clock is slow. it's wrong. Says it's only 8:24am. Obviously it's wrong. Because I'd still be asleep if it was really 8:24am. Been trying to write since last week. Scribbled down some ideas. A plot A premise Something Will be back later.

Woke up 5pm yesterday. Still awake. Expected SYSTEMS CRASH... after lunch... maybe... POWER PUFF ARCHER The great thing about LORD OF THE RINGS is that out of the nine heroes, every one will have a favorite. And from the looks of things, the runaway winner for Cutest Hero with a Bow and Arrow is...well, let's see what the girls are saying: "You know what, Legolas is very cute. (I see that many girls noticed that as well.)" -- Clarrisa "oh well after that Tin and i watched LOTR! as for me, this is my second time to watch it. and again i saw my new heroes, Strider and Legolas! weeeeeeee!" -- Isi There's even a whole message thread devoted to Legolas. :) That's good. :) It's good to have heroes. NAPOLI Had dinner at Napoli last night. Good food at good prices. Big slices of pizza! Cheap beer! Go! Go! Go! Napoli, Timog cor. T.Morato, open 11am to 11pm, everyday

Short-attention span "Hanggang dun lang?! Dapat sinabi nila part one lang pala ito!" said this teen-age girl as she came out of the mvoie house. Ah... the next generation. So, please go watch THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. It's a great movie. Bring the kids. (And yes, it's only part one of a trilogy) Read the book if you can't wait.

Some helpful tips of how to break into the comic book industry by Devin Grayson . Okay, so how do you get DC Comics to solicit a proposal from you? You kind of need to ask them to. And that means: YOU HAVE TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF. There are a few different ways to do this: a) send a query letter b) make contact with an editor online or at a convention c) befriend somebody in the business d) spill coffee on someone entering 1700 Broadway, and hope for the best

And we're online in five four three two one... Ahhhh... finally, back online. This must be bad. I was undergoing withdrawal symptoms from being offline. So, I kept texting my Wireless Journal during the break. You can make your own WJ . It's like my mobile blog. :) Ugh! I really need to get out of the city. (And I'm sure several people will laugh in disbelief when they read that previous line.) STAR BOY Check out who got included in list of Stars who will shine in 2002 ! hahahahah! Way to go, Brandie! Brandie Tan, art director, BBDO : Francis Bernard G. Tan more popularly known as Brandie (that's Brandie with ie) is made of really strong stuff.

On his first trip to Cebu recently, he brought home two gold, three silver and five bronze p...

The Christmas rush traffic in Makati got worse this morning due to a bomb scare in one of the buildings. It was quickly found and disfused by the Philippine National Police. Once again, real-life heroes come to our rescue. Hyperlink to the Mayor Giulani's introduction to the Marvel comic book "A Moment of Silence" . Giulani once again brings praise to the brave people New York who have come together during the city's time of need. Hyperlink back to the Decemeber 30 last year, when several bombs went off in different parts of the city, bringing chaos, panic, and death so many during the holidays. One year later, the bombers and whoever else was responsible have not been caught. As much as we have heroes, there just seem to be too many people that make worse, bringing a looming shadow to our already not-so-cheery lives. Only means we need more heroes. More role-models. Because all it will take is one brave soul, who would dare to put aside his...

LOCAL COMICS IN THE NEWS Marco's interview in Sunday Inquirer Magazine finally came out. "I don't mind because I really like the character because she stands for something," Marco Dimaano states.

Soundtrack of my Life Went this site , answered some questions, and gave m this fortune cookie response (which is so true!): Your Tori Song is: SPARK from "From the Choir Girl Hotel" Let it go. That was a long time ago. You tend to hold onto the bad things. ------------------------------------------------------- Damn! How could it know??? I just answered some questions about what I drink and eat and what Tori song I like and it told me that! It's so damned true! I dwell in the past too much. Why, I remember the time I... ugh! Nevermind. So, what's your story Tori song ? Tell me!

Overheard at the NU107 ROCK AWARDS MALE MODEL: Hey man, where are all the illicit women? You know, the type that just wants to have sex? **** ATOM HENARES: Astig!!! ****

There's frog stuck in my throat! Just came from the recording studio. They're using my voice for a radio commercial. While listening to my recording I suddenly realize that I sound like a muppet. Damn. Must be the effect of watching Sesame Street and Muppet Show during my formative years. Ribbit
