It Ain't Over 'til It's Over
Lenny Kravitz

here we are still together
we are one
so much time wasted
playing games with love

so many tears i've cried
so much pain inside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over
so many years we've tried
to keep our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

how many times
did we give up
but we always worked things out
and all my doubts and fear
kept me wondering
if i'd always be in love

so many tears i've cried
so much pain inside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over

so many years we've tried
and kept our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

so many tears i've cried
so much pain inside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over

so many years we've tried
and kept our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

LSS

Ewan ko ba, eto ang gusto kong pakinggan ngayon...



Gimme Gimme Gimme
ABBA

Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day


...siguro dahil parati kong pinapakinggan 'yung "Hung up" ni Madonna....

The lights are on but there's no-one home
Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two
And I'm done
I'm hangin' up on you

I can't keep on waiting for you
I know that you're still hesitating
Don't cry for me
'cause I'll find my way
You'll wake up one day
But it'll be too late

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call

...wala pa ring binatbat sa orihinal....

Karatula....

Naglagay ako ng karatula sa harap ng bahay o bakuran namin at hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit pilit na gustong alisin ng tatlong ate ko, at pati na rin ng nanay ko n'ung makita nila kung ano ito...

...well, karatula lang naman ng masahe o HILOT.

Well, kung may magpapamasahe o hilot, hindi naman ako tatanggap ng bayad (ika nga eh ito ang aking community o public service) - pero hindi ko isinulat na libre ito, malalaman na lang nila kapag nagpahilot sila...

Ewan ko ba...'di nila ako maintindihan....

Nakakahiya ba kung marunong kang maghilot?

'ganda nitoh! Nindot kaayo!

Naglabas na uli ang WATCHMEN movie ng mga bagong posters nila...hanep sa gandah!!!

Talagang kaabang-abang!

Eto na po...


...ito ang paborito ko sa lahat, ganda ng karakter o pagkakasulat sa kanya sa komiks, sana gan'un din sa movie...


...ang "Captain Atom" ng Charlton Heroes, well, okay din lang naman siya...hubo na superhero, hmmmnnn, hehehe...


...sa komiks eh, mataba dapat siya, at katawatawa ang itsura...ewan ko lang kung ano ang magiging treatment sa kanya sa movie...


...ang ganda ng ilusyon na ginagawa ng costume nya sa movie - ang SEXY!!!...mas maganda sa komiks...


...aaahh, ito ang kaabang-abang! (Well, para sa akin....)


...at ito pa...paano kaya ito sa ending? Matapatan kaya 'yung katulad sa komiks? Hmmmnnn...si Bubastis pala'yung nasa likod...

KOMIKON na uli!

Yehey!

Isang taon na pala uli ang nakalipas!

Ang bilis ah!

Eto po ang official poster nila...




...at eto pa po ang mga ibang kaganapan para sa KOMIKON...

Announcement lang po...

Pinoy Rock bands of the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s in benefit gig for Ka Randy

Three famous Pinoy Rock bands, each of which gained popularity in their own generations, are set to perform in a benefit concert for the immediate release of militant peasant leader Randall “Ka Randy” Echanis on Thursday.

The concert, dubbed as “TINIG 3… Awitan para sa Lupa, Kalayaan, at Katotohanan, Benefit Gig for the Immediate Release of Ka Randy Echanis” was organized by the Tinig ng Silangan Party Alliance Alumni Association (TNSPAAA) and the Free Randall Echanis Movement (Freedom).

The benefit gig highlights the performance of progressive artists from the 70’s to the 90’s which includes Lolita Carbon of Asin, a famous Pinoy rock band in the 70’s; Chicoy Pura of the alternative rock band The Jerks of the 80’s, Bobby Balingit of the punk-rock band The Wuds of the 90’s, and various artists.

“The combination of the three famous progressive artists and their music from three different generations is a concrete personification of Ka Randy’s lifelong struggle,” says Freedom spokesperson Ranmil Echanis.

Leaders of progressive people’s organizations like Bagong Alyansang Makabayan secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. and various artists including poet Axel Pinpin of the Tagaytay 5 are also set to give their piece.

The concert for Ka Randy’s freedom will be held at My Brother’s Moustache at #68 Sct. Tuazon Cor. Sct. Madrinan, QC, October 16, 2008, from 6PM to 12MN. Tickets are available at P100 and P500 at the KMP office or contact 928-41-84 and at the gates of My Brother’s Moustache. #

...at marami pang iba....

Matagal ko na itong mga nagawa, pero ngayon ko lang mailalagay dito...


...tanda ko, napadaan ako sa Fully Booked sa Gateway Mall, tapos nakita ko larawan nya sa mga pabalat ng libro, sabi ko sa sarili ko, i-drawing ko kaya? Eto kinalabasan...ewan ko kung kamukha nya....

Tapos, napapa-drawing pa ko ng isa, eto naman ang kinalabasan...di ko nga lang kilala kung sino siya...o sila...


Sino kaya siya?


...at ito pa...pero nag-enjoy naman ako sa pagguhit sa kanila...

...tapos...

...sabi ko uli sa sarili ko, eh kung si Jose Rizal naman kaya? Ewan ko kung bakit ganito itsura nya ang lumabas, pero sa palagay ko, kung tumanda si Rizal, eto magiging itsura nya....

Tapos, siyempre, sabi ko uli sa sarili ko, sa komiks naman...ito naman ang nahagip ko na gaw'an ng pin-up...


...isa siya sa mga pangunahing bida ni Arnold Arre sa "Mythology Class"!

...tapos uli (panghuli na 'to!), d'un sa mga nagdaang entry, parang obsessed ako sa "egyptian culture", pero sa tingin ko, hindi naman talaga mukhang egyptian 'yung mga drawing ko eh...bilang pagsubok o pag-confirm, inisip ko na gumawa ng "sphinx"...at eto ang kinalabasan...


...at ang naging verdict? Hindi nga Egyptian! Mayan ang mga drawing Ko!

"Walk like an Egyptian" redux!

Eto, mas mukhang Egyptian na talaga!

Inisip kong gawin, tapos hinayaan ko ang kamay ko and voila!


Mukha na nga!

Walk like an Egyptian....

Whohooo!

Bago na namang drawing!

Wala lang, naisip ko lang, tapos etong lumabas!


Mukha ba siyang Egyptian? Wala lang, 'yun kasi an pumasok sa isip ko eh....

Lapis ang ginamit ko dito, sa isang A4 size na bond paper.

"You say goodbye and i say hello...."

Nakakatuwa, n'ung isang gabi.

May nag-imbita sa akin, despedida party nya raw, si Matt, volunteer namin sa office.

Naglalakad ako pauwi ng sabado ng gabi (rumafah, ano fah!) ng naalala ko uli ang imbitasyon, sabi ko na lang sa sarili ko, "a-attend ako kung maidro-drawing ko siya!"

Uwi ako sa bahay, kuha kaagad ang papel, brush at itim na poster color.

At sinimulang gumuhit... at ito na nga!


"Chunky" kung siya ay tawagin... mukha daw siyang "sinister" dito, sabi niya, hehehe....

So, pumunta ako sa despedida party ni Matt, at ibinigay ko ito!

Tuwang-tuwa siya!


Eto ang tunay na Matt!

Mamayang gabi ang flight nya pauwing U.K. Have a safe trip Matt!

Since kanta ng Beatles 'yung titulo ng entry na ito, at naikwento ko na ang "goodbye", eto naman ang "hello!"

Hello kay Oona!


Cute talaga ni Oona, si URDUJA ISABELLA G. FLORENDO!

Anak ng kaibigan namin ni Jonas, si Laya. Kamakailan lang eh nag-birthday siya at bininyagan na rin, kaya belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY and BAPTISMAL DAY OONA!


P.S.

Nakakuha din pala tayo ng gintong medalya sa Olympics, sa Wushu!

Pero kahit ito ay isang exhibition lamang, at least, nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na humanga ang buong mundo sa Pilipinas, iniangat ang bandila natin at tinugtog ang pambansang awitin sa Beijing Olympics!

Mabuhay ka Willy Wang!

Si Ninoy at ang mga butil ng pag-asa....

Well, dalwampu't-limang taon (25 years) na pala ang nakakaraan ng pinatay si Ninoy.

Isang mahalagang araw sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas...

... at hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin alam kung sino ang may sala....

Anim na taon pa lang ako n'un at wala pang muwang sa mundo.

Ngayon namang may isip na, well, okay, may alam ako sa kanya, pero hindi gan'un kagloryoso....

Naisip ko lang makiisa sa paggunita ngayon, at isang paraan eh, iginuhit ko siya - base sa alaala....


Kamukha ba? Kasalukuyang wala akong P500.00 kaya wala akong reference eh, hehehe....

At para naman sa mga "Butil ng Pag-asa", ilan ito sa panibagong serye ng mga guhit ko. One eight (1/8) ng bond paper ang sukat nito eh.
