k bye

So I finally had my ears checked by an EENT specialist. For a while I've been suffering from mild deafness. At first, it was just my left ear and then my right ear went about two months ago. It took me this long because I'm a lazy idiot. The first thing the doctor asked me was whether or not I'm suffering from a cold. I'm like, my problem is with my ears, why are you asking me about my nose? I've got sinusitis, or so I thought. It turns out it's allergic rhinitis -- I am extremely allergic to dust and animal hairs. So all my life I've grown up with pets and all my life I've suffered from a stuffy nose. No small wonder. I am allergic. And here I thought I was ridiculously healthy. Long story short, I can hear crystal now -- as in, if I turn on the faucet, I can almost hear each individual water drop. So cool.

In other news, I should tell you that I rarely get worked up over things. If I do, I usually keep my mouth shut. See, there's no use talking about it and getting all in a temper when the thing you're worked up about is out of your hands. But even my general apathy has its limits.

Yo, stupid MARINA people. The problem is not whether our ships have the latest in GPS technology. No matter how good the technology is, no matter how state of the art, if the captain and his equally idiotic crewmen cannot follow simple rules of the road, SHIT WILL HIT THE FAN. Get that?

Now, for another --

GSIS, no one is falling for your crap. If what you're experiencing now is really a technical problem, how come it's run on for months and months? Not even the most devastating computer glitches can last that long. The hardest part about fixing something is troubleshooting. So you know the problem, now FIX IT! And don't give us more crap about having "temporary and permanent solutions." Really? Temporary and permanent? I've never heard of anything more preposterous.

K, bye.

Flexing my drawing muscles

Why, I do think I still have them. MEDIUM: water color pencils. SIZE: 768 x 1024 A little background? This is a very old concept art I had for a comic book story I was planning to make with Frank. It's based on the Binyan myth that seeks to explain why the tides rise during full moon. It's my favorite ancient Filipino myth, so... I got the inspiration for the fish dude's bright colors from a parrot fish that I ate for dinner last night. 0.O

Moview Review: The Lady Shogun and Her Men

I've heard about this story for sometime now. The Japanese title is Ooku , which refers to the chamber in the shogun's castle where all the women of the shogun's harem are kept. However, Yoshinaga Fumi's manga, on which this movie is adapted, adds a twist: the shogun is a woman and beautiful men fill her harem. THE STORY In the year 1716 Japan, most of the men have died from a deadly disease that only affects men, resulting in their population dwindling to as much as 1/4 of the total population of women. Consequently, women fill in the traditional roles of men, performing hard labor, managing businesses and running government while men are pampered, protected and allowed only to indulge in light entertainment. In this nonexistent Japan lives Mizuno Yunoshin (Kazunari Ninomiya), a teenager from an impoverished samurai class family. He likes fencing and his childhood friend, O-Nobu (Horikita Maki), but because of his family's financial status (O-Nobu is a daugh

Movie Review: Solanin

This is a manga turned into a live-action film. I don't really trust adaptations like this. There is always something lost along the way. It could be the expressions of the characters. Manga characters are frequently entertaining because of their exaggerated expressions, something which not many Japanese actor/actress can pull out. But despite all these initial misgivings, I decided to give Solanin  a go because I loved the manga version that much and I'm kind of a fan of Miyazaki Aoi. THE STORY Meiko, played by Miyazaki Aoi ( Nana, Tada Kimi wo Aoshiteru, Eureka ) is a young office lady who, unable to bear the mundane reality of a desk job, quits and settles into a year of lazy unemployment. Her spur-of-the-moment decision creates a domino effect as her live-in boyfriend, Taneda, begins to feel that it is now up to him to bear the burden of responsibility. He sees that his part-time job as a graphic designer doesn't pay enough to support both of them and his band, c
