Hellfest 5 gig

Just want to shamelessly plug yet again a gig to be held (yet again! is there an echo here?) at the Boss Grill @ Mango Ave, Cebu this coming March 14, 2009 . My lousy band will (yet again, sheeesh!the band : AGNAS, we are a deathmetal cover band)be taking part again hopefully, if all goes well and we get to actually jam and practice again, last time I checked was from the last gig we did a month ag0. Check out the poster (I was asked again to do the poster so as with the other 3 gigs that came to past even if I sucked at doing it, FYI hehehe) for more details and stuff:

Sadly...

Sadly...I have been neglecting this blog for quite some time now and it doesn't mean that I have nothing to post also. It has been a year since I kept this blog and much have I learned about blogging. In fact, I've been active mostly now on my work-in-progress art journal The Pencil Pushing Area which I feel more inclined to update because as of the moment I'm into my drawing itch again and it has been almost like 10 years since I was crazy about drawing/sketching comic book characters and the like and I'm riding on to it for now. As far as I can assess, I'm not really good at posting interesting topics and as much as I wanted to say what's on my mind (and I've got a lot of interesting things running round me head) I just can't organize and put them thoughts on digital paper and make this blog more interesting with interesting post. But all in all, I am not closing this blog, mind you. More of a sabbatical and maybe, just maybe I'd find the spark or spank that I need to get these gears going. So, that's it people, if anyone's interested still, look for me on the left hand sidebar and have a click at it. Maybe I updated some things elsewhere...I'll be back!

I'm back...I think!?

I'm back. Its been awhile since I've updated this blog. I'm now part of the got hitched crowd and it has been 9 days since. Everything was 50% according to plan thanx to our  dumb coordinator who acted like he knew what he's doing, fooled us.geez. Well, of all the wedding stories and advices I've heard from recently, it all went out as expected and terrible in some way or form. But atleast its finally over and done with. The important thing is now I'm a married dude and as everyone will soon expect me to be responsible and steer the course of my life and all that sh@#. Another chapter closes and another is starting to get written and all that crap. hehehe. Part of me not updating this blog was because of this and when I got back last Tuesday I was dead tired and spaced out (!?) and work was waiting for me like a bad MF. Now I'm just taking a cruise ride at the back seat and looking at my, or shall I say both of our future outside the dashboard of a dark and fast world, kinda like looking at gotham city by gaslight...updates will be posted soon, no pics yet...nuff said...     

Single Blessedness Countdown

Hey, been awhile. Right. Usual suspects. I've been pretty closed mouth on me getting hitched 21 days from now. Mixed feelings all over. One moment, excited, then dread and the things in between. Me and my to be partner for life did all the preparations almost single handedly. From the documentations, seminars, venue bookings, give aways and invitations, we did it all from the ground up and all of these things will culminate not from where we are residing now but from my GF's hometown as tradition dictates. Its quite a learning experience and rewarding, I guess. But it stressed the hell out of the both of us and the clock ticks louder by the day and as stated, 21 days from today the chapter (kinda like chapter 1) of our single lives will end and another chapter (kinda like chapter 2 as we will be treading life together) would begin anew from the glorious (tormenting, I hope not) ashes, metaphorically. I don't know what I am muttering about anyways. Well, I formally let the countdown begin tomorrow and geez, I even am losing sleep over things nowadays. Stress, my dear old friend, frequents me. As they say, nothing goes according to plan, but hope that everything would somehow come out right. I'll keep my fingers cross.

Attacked by the Dreaded Bugs

Im really pissed off this past week because of one recurring house problem: BUG INFESTATION!!!. 

I really thought we already rid of ourselves of these pest months before. Kissing Bugs or Assassin Bugs are a pain in the butt or pain in any part of the body for that matter. I don't know where they come from, they just attacked my sister's bedroom. She got an allergic reaction to its bite like swelling on the affected part to a point that she can't even move her arm. At first we thought it was just cockroach bites but we found this weird looking creature under her bed which I whacked with my slippers on instinct and then came splat!! Blood and guts of the thing spread out on the floor and I realized that it wasn't its blood but blood meal. F@#$ gross. I googled any info I could get about these critters and found out that they were the one's responsible for my sisters' agony and we immediately made sure to track and kill every last one we could find by insecticide and death by slipper whack. That was before and now they've comeback somehow and from who knows what origin and the funny thing is that my sister is long gone to some foreign land and her bedroom is empty and you know what, the f@#$ decided to infest my measly bedroom now. The moment I began to have welts and bite marks, dread finally caught up with me and only one critter responsible came up to my mind, the freaking Assassin Bugs are back with a vengeance. Paranoid that I was, I immediately checked under my bed and what do you know, the f@##s were there hiding, bloated and hiding for crying out loud! Caught and killed seven! geeez, seven of them in less than a damn week. Everytime I sleep I get paranoid that somehow I know that they are waiting patiently in cracks and crevices awaiting my deep slumber for them to attack and suck the life outta me! From what I have googled, they are a deadly pest to some parts of the Americas and carry deadly diseases. So far, nothing came up on articles about them in the Philippines though. Maybe one of you has a damn solution about this and help me get rid of them shits altogether. I periodically check under the bed now and shit.  

The La Parola

Hey, its been a while (yeah, what else is new!). Today we had an oppurtulity to do a little on site pre-nup photoshoot with me and my gurl here with the help of the expertise of iStudio Photo Services (all the way from Valencia, Bukidnon). Don't get me wrong here but I'm not the dramatic romantic dweeb effect kinda guy with me having a metal band and all and donning black shirts all the time and mostly favor the darker side of life (heheheh), I did this at my partners persistent request and much to my amazement, I yielded to her whims. Actually, just between you and me, its always 99% of the time, shhhhhhh. What the hey, its always a first time for anything, right?!. We did it hastily at La Parola, Liloan, Cebu based on a friends suggestion to do it there because of the unique view plus I like lighthouses. It was all in all a first hand experience doing all the drama of doing a little photoshoot. Here's a quick pick of the La Parola and by the way, it is taken from my meager point and shoot camera that I happen to have at the moment and not the expensive and elaborate ones' that the iStudio team was using during the event. Mebe I'll post the ones' they did when I get hold of the file copy. Soon enuf.
