My 2010 List

1. Take up running. I guess I'll start by doing short morning jogs at the Cebu City Sports Complex...next month because January is Sinulog month.

2. Speaking of which, I'm going to watch the Sinulog festival this year at the same venue. I'm not going to brave the streets though.

3. Learn to drive. I think I'm going to take driving lessons though instead of ask my Dad to teach me.

4. Get a passport. I don't have one, waaahhh ~

5. Update Excursus. I am going to update my blogs anyway so I might as well include the website.

6. Finish coloring the first chapter of Brilliant at 3:00 a.m. I was going to finish it over the break but I got waylaid by holiday stuff and the usual chores. Will finish it this week, if circumstances permit. There's a wedding coming up and I'm trying not to go (read: desperately looking for a valid excuse).

7. Exercise more. I really need it because I still eat the same even as my metabolism is no longer up to par.

8. Paint our old parish church in Moalboal. 150 years old and counting. Of course, it's just a facade now and an old bell tower but still pretty the way quaint things are sometimes pretty when the original material ages well.

9. Pick up translation again? Not sure but if I can find the time between the webcomic and the blogs, then I might. Anyway, I'm halfway done with the translation for Chapter 29 of Houpin Xiao Shiyi Lang.

10. Visit a foreign country. My mother said something of the sort during Christmas break but she's the kind who likes to plan things but doesn't necessarily follow through them (my, I wonder who this reminds me of). Hongkong is the chosen destination although I want to see Singapore, too, and ride an elephant in Thailand.

That's it. Originally, I was planning to take a vow of silence but obviously that's impossible. XD Also, I wanted to be a vegetarian but again it's next to impossible in my situation now. Someday....

  2. Yes, I should. Any suggestions for a newbie? Like, where ka usually mag-practice run? Open pa ba ang Abellana for runners?

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
