CB Garrucho’s Tele-Aralan ng Kakayahan (at least the arts and crafts episodes) was to me then, what Art Attack probably is to kids now. Perhaps because I had developed an interest for making things early on, I was just enthralled by how the guests on Ms. Garrucho’s show tinkered with treasures from a place called Tabora (which I ( Read more... )

Sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam, sumama ako sa "promo" ni Gibbs Cadiz (tour ng PETA Theater Center at libreng panonood ng Batang Rizal). Bilang kapalit nun, kailangang mag-blog kami tungkol sa karanasan, at ang susunod na entry ang naisulat ko. Mas sabaw ang utak ko lately, kaya di ko na kinayang mag-seryoso at magpormal-pormalan masyado... pero naubos ( Read more... )

the Star Movies Star Wars 30th Anniversary Marathon!

Mula 12 nn hanggang mga 1:15 am, pinanood ko nang sunud-sunod ang Episodes 1-6. Grabe, mahigit labintatlong oras yun ng buhay ko na hindi ko na mababawi... pero ayos lang! True, may mga na-miss ako (dahil siyempre kailangan ko ring kumain, magbanyo at maligo... at dahil nakatulog ako sa bandang ( Read more... )

On a more direct relation to ELMER, I can now definitely say that #3 will be out in September 2007 and the last issue on December. A compilation will follow sometime in mid 2008. I know a lot of people have been asking for the third issue (THANK YOU!) and I want to say I appreciate the patience. #3 is a very ( Read more... )

"...and Tuesday nights at Eddie Condon's with Wild Bill Davison playing that trumpet of his..."--Kikay in New Yorker in Tondo

Hanggang 1967 lang daw may Eddie Condon's sa New York. Namatay si Eddie Condon (ang may-ari, duh) noong 1971. Si Wild Bill Davison naman, cornet at hindi raw trumpet ang tinutugtog. At namatay siya nung 1989. So paano sila ( Read more... )

Na-curious lang ako sa komiks na Elmer ni Gerry Alanguilan dahil medyo malapit siya sa nasabi sa aking story idea ni James na tungkol sa mga manok. Well, noong finally nakabili na ako ng kopya last December, sobra akong na-hook. Sa katunayan, bumibisita ako every now and then sa blog ng writer-artist para makasagap ng balita kung kailan lalabas ang ( Read more... )

Mukhang astig ang upcoming season ng Tanghalang Pilipino. Ang pinakanakakaintriga: ORO PLATA MATA, THE MUSICAL. Shet! Mukhang hindi lang sa Broadway nauuso ang pag-adapt ng mga pelikula for the stage, pero at least, sa Pilipinas, hindi mga tipong Legally Blonde o The Wedding Singer ang ginagawa...mga bigatin talaga. Kung magpatuloy ang trend na ( Read more... )

Hector: The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.

For me, the ( Read more... )

Mula ito sa musical na The King and I. Dati, naisip ko, ang ganda siguro kung kakantahin ito tungkol sa akin...sa burol ko. Ngayon, parang mas may kahulugan sa akin ang mga titik kung patungkol na ito sa ibang tao...at ako naman ang aawit.

SOMETHING WONDERFUL

His heart is not always wise.
