CANVAS - Episode 3 (Alimpungatan)
My very own comic series. Canvas.
Isn’t it cool?
My own comic series about a girl who’s not supposed to live in year 2006. Now, she is being dwelled by cute guys– a university president’s son, a snubbish flutist PhySci teacher, some caped guards, and a thousand miles.
Oh well, hope it’ll not turn-out to be another sci-fi novel rip-off. ^_^ But I guess if people have read so much sci-fi stories, they might have clues to which lit work would have been my primary source.
Duh? I’m not fond of hifalutin literature. I love stereotypical Koreanovelas, Lord of the Rings, animes, and other usual stuff.
Details about my comic series (published in The Gazette) soon (that is, if we have something to publish ^_^)
Oh BTW, what’s “alimpungatan” in English?

MANNY PACQUIAO - SPAMMING ADs - STILL COUNTING
Golly. Manny Pacquiao is an ad spammer. And he proves it once more.
You can see him clinching on your stinky smelly feet. You can see him punching your head and muscle pains off. You can see him inviting people to smack themselves to booze and festivity. You can see him on your bloodstream. You can see him digesting your fried chicken or tuna flakes inside your stomach. You can see him drinking milk and eating ice cream. You can see him wear his own sport apparel.
Now, he can force you to gulp a doze of hyperacidic tabs for a vinegar fortified with iron.
If you’re a Filipino, you know exactly what I’m talking about…
You can see him here, there, yon, and everywhere.
He now endorses:
- San Miguel Beer (whoah. among the chosen “highly-paid” few)
Alaxan (Ibuprofen|Paracetamol) tablets
- Circulan 41 capsules
- Magnolia milk
- Magnolia ice cream
- McDonalds
- Darlington socks
- Dolly tuna
- PM Sports Apparel, and even (worse),
- Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Now,
- Datu Puti Suka (vinegar)
Jesus Christ ^_^;;
He’s printed on posters, on leaflets, on banners, on tarpaulines, on billboards, pictures, on life-size full-body photoboards, on newspapers, inside clocks, on junk food wrappers, on your cellphones, on your cd covers, in your mp3 players, on your pirated cd covers, on dvds, in cinemas, on tv…
And in my blog.
Ok. He’s popular. He’s a heroic icon. He’s a star. No, he’s a celebrity. He’s a superstar!
After winning that non-title Morales match preceeding with several triumphant matches, he has become an institution in the history of boxing, and of course, Philippine Sports. He established a distinct “Pacman” on the slates. No Tyson. No Velasco. Just Pacman.
People are just elated because of his popularity and his victory. People admire him, idolizing him, praise him, worship him (OMG… I’m overdoing it ^_^). ABS-CBN starts to pirate him and use him to promote their low-rated TV shows. He’s so overwhelming, even Lito Camo composed a

for him. Oh bother. So nakakatawa (funny). What an effort of ABS-CBN.
Now, he’s being abused by several advertisers, capitalist companies, and traditional politicians.
In the Philippines, no Filipino wouldn’t recognize the names and faces of Kris Aquino (former Pres. Cory Aquino’s daughter), Sharon Cuneta (the richest and highest paid actress whose husband’s a senator), Vilma Santos (the most popular and the most awarded actress whose husband’s a congressman), Angel Locsin (most popular sexy teen heroine actress) and of course, the Pacman.
Maybe such is the routine of too much popularity and prominence in the mainstream media. If you’re famous, of fame which crosses the boundaries of the rich and the poor (and not so rich and poor), you’ll be bombarded with lots of proposals, invitations, sponsorships, guestings, and the like. For fans even like the celebrities would idolize. Capitalists will, as the demand of the consumers is concerned, utilize it and abuse it, ’till all the juices are extracted from deep within their bone cavities. Now, they’re doing it to Pacman.
Hope he won’t fade out like Rod Navarrete. Hope he maintains his humility.
Does he?
