Something Positive turns five

Posted on 20 December 2006 by Mark


I just love reading this webcomic. It feels so real, so evil, so sarcastic and yet so enjoyable. The webcomic is celebrating its fifth year today. Congratulations! I can’t wait for the next storyline.

Toosdee again

Posted on 19 December 2006 by Mark


Slow, slow day but I’ve got a test for a new build coming up so that should liven up things. And hopefully, Joey pushes through with our dinner date tonight. I wonder where we’ll eat in Megamall.

Something interesting that I saw in Danny’s blog today. This chap is really getting ’round and about in Japan and he’s getting to do a lot of the cool stuff I’d wish I could do. Maybe I’ll go live in Japan and buy me a Kabuto outfit and walk around. Anyways, Danny went to this idol photo shoot and had the chance to shoot some cuties and be shot along with them while in trooper form.

See it all here.

And just the thing to put a damper on any Filipino’s day is the news that you’ve lost a good friend. Wei, a member of SRWG.org passed away more than a month before and we just found out about it recently. Thyroid storm complications. She was one of the lively people in the bunch. I can bet her family and her longstanding boyfriend are shattered and are still trying to pick up the pieces one month from when she left us.

Rest in peace, Wei. We miss you. We always will.

I've gotten so much neat stuff so far…and it's not yet even Christmas.

Posted on 18 December 2006 by Mark


  • MG Strike Gundam + IWSP
  • a scapular pendant for my chain
  • a pair of black Adidas Gazelles
  • a pair of ZeroG Hush Puppies
  • a white Philips headset
  • the Starbucks planner

I dunno if I’ll be getting any more this Christmas season but so far, so good. I’m happy with my bunch of goodies already. Pictures of the MG Strike Gundam + IWSP to come. And I’ve yet to put up the Galera pics!

Martin Nodell, creator of Green Lantern dies at 91

Posted on 14 December 2006 by Mark


Here are the details from DC:

Artist Martin Nodell, co-creator of the Golden Age Green Lantern, passed away on December 9 at age 91.

“Marty was a gentle soul who got a renewed lease on life from discovering his fans after years away from comics,” says DC Comics President & Publisher Paul Levitz. “He and Carrie delighted in the convention circuit, and we’ll miss both their warmth and laughter.”

Nodell began his comics career in the late 1930s, and first drew Green Lantern in 1940’s ALL-AMERICAN COMICS #16, working with writer/co-creator Bill Finger. The character proved popular enough to earn a solo title the following year. Nodell also illustrated the Green Lantern chapters for several Justice Society of America adventures in ALL STAR COMICS.

Nodell left DC Comics in the late 1940s to draw Captain America and other features for Timely before moving into advertising in 1950. Among other accomplishments, he is credited for creating the look of the Pillsbury Doughboy. Nodell returned to DC to draw Green Lantern on several occasions, including a page for GREEN LANTERN SECRET FILES in 2002.

I saw the news in Something Positive and found this excerpt from Bags and Boards.

I’ll write something less mournful later in the day. I believe that he’s happy wherever he is now.

Yeap. I’m queasy. My body hurts in ten-plus places. I have a headache. But I’m bloody smiling. It was a wonderful weekend. I’ll talk about the details tomorrow.

Stole this from Aslan’s blog. Obviously too bored and tired to write at the moment.

1) How old do you wish you were?: Why would I wish to be at some other age when there’s so much to enjoy right now? No point in wasting it wishing to be some other age.

2) Where were you when 9/11 happened?: I was asleep. My dad woke me up and we watched the horrifying scenes on TV. I cried.

3) What do you do when vending machines steal your money?: I hit it with a nailbat. Nah, I buy another one. I get two but at least I get my money’s worth.

4) Do you consider yourself kind? I dunno. Friends like Mara tell me I’m too nice for my own good. I can be equally evil if need be.

5) If you HAD to get a tattoo, where would it be?: A black gothic cross slightly to the right from the center of my chest.

6) If you could be fluent in any other language, what would it be? Japanese

7) Do you know your neighbours?: Most of them moved already. But I still know some of them.
8) What do you consider a holiday?: Someplace where I can relax and NOT THINK ABOUT ANYTHING. Even a retreat for me can be a holiday.

9) Do you follow your horoscope?: Why bother? I’ve got the power to choose where my life will be going. Why base its direction on some quack’s predictions?

10) Would you move for the person you loved?: As long as it’s not far from my own family. Best we meet in the middle, dontchatink?

11) Are you touchy feely?: Initially, I don’t just hug or touch a female or even a male for that matter (yak, Brokeback!). But if the situation is comfy and there aren’t any issues, why not? Like Joey said, being hugged by a gal is nice.

12) Do you believe that opposites attract? I do. But not the violent opposites. I’d like to believe it’s more of the other one being the buffer for the other. In short, complementary pairs.

13) Dream job?: I’m happy with my current job. I get to travel. I have a schedule that isn’t as toxic as most. Why move when the pay is good?

14) Favorite channel(S)?: Nothing in particular, really.

15) Favorite place to go on weekends?: Anyplace where there’s lots of toys to look at, a nice comfy place to sit and sip coffee and free WiFi for my N80.

16) Showers or Baths?: Showers. I’ll leave the baths to the kinky, married moments with me and my future wife if ever I get married. Neh?

17) Do you paint your nails?: Aw hell no. But I do, I’ll have them painted feenk and let the girls squeal.

18) Do you trust people easily?: I usually give them the benefit of the doubt. If they mess up, it takes millenia to earn that trust back.

19) What are your phobias?: Being alone in life. That’s pretty much it.

20) Do you want kids?: Three.

21) Do you keep a handwritten journal?: Not anymore. Nosy mom.

22) Where would you rather be right now?: Sofa, movie marathon… shleepee.

23) Heavy or light sleeper?: It depends. If I’m really tired, you won’t be able to wake me up and if you do, you a dead man.

24) Are you paranoid?: Not much. Unless it’s something related to my family’s health and well-being.

25) Are you impatient?: Often. Especially when I want to buy something.

26) Who can you relate to?: Geeks.

27) How do you feel about interracial couples?: If the shoe fits, why not?

28) Have you been burned by love?: Lotsa times. Tough shit. Jaded over relationships already…

29) What’s your main ring tone on your cell?: Mario Kart DS Title Screen theme

30) What were you doing after midnight last night?: Reading a book.

1Gig of flash memory!

Posted on 29 November 2006 by Mark


So I finally managed to get myself a Mini SD card with 1gig worth of flash memory. I originally thought that PQI would not be compatible with my Nokia N80 but apparently, it works! Good thing too or else I would have just ended up with a 512MB Kingston Mini SD. Kingston’s one of the other brands that manufacture Mini SD cards and was one of the first to be declared as compatible to the Nokia N80. But I guess the compatibility issues were eliminated after the firmware for N80 was upgraded.

Time to load this baby up with songs! There goes more of my phone’s battery life. But what the heck. I can shoot more pics with this amount of flash memory.

New place to order Gundam goodies~!

Posted on 28 November 2006 by Mark


A friend of mine from SRWG.org informed me recently about this site called Mint dash Toys dot com. It’s an online store for model kit collectors here in the Philippines. What’s amazing is that they’re selling the MG Strike Gundam IWSP for only Php2,300 and I can just meet up with their contact for the purchase. I’ve contacted them already and am waiting for their feedback regarding my inquiry on the MG Strike Gundam IWSP’s availability. If they confirm, I will be buying one REEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAL soon. And it will be gracing my desktop in two weeks’ time after the acquisition.

Wheee~! There goes the wedding money. Hahahahaha!
