I hate Yellow Lane

It was around July 2011 when 'Yellow Lane' started. I hate it. To me it's MMDA's Marie Antoinette solution for EDSA traffic -- that for the poor and carless, their time isn't that important and they deserve to rot in traffic.

I recently posted in FB that whoever proposed Yellow Lane should be hanged, drawn and quartered. I still stand by that opinion.

Holy Crap!

It's been months na pala since my last blog entry. 

Ang daming nangyari and I don't even know where to begin. 

I'd like to promise pero ayoko. But I want to blog regularly again once I have internet connection at home. 

Bakit wala? It's a long winding story better saved for offline conversation and a cup of coffee. 

See you all in 2013. 

1st and last for this month

Sorry. I'm starting to lose interest in blogging.

The blogger site itself doesn't work on BB web browser which I do my "web surfing" most of the time.

I just finished, edited and submitted an article using my BB.

And yes, I didn't mention here that I finally got a (unpaid) writing stint at my workplace.

My post in FB was:
"Last time I wrote for a publication was when I was in college. Now that I've been given the chance again. Maybe this might be the 'cure' for my creative drought. Just got my first assignment. BTW, this is labor of love. But for the 'firm.' I got myself a loaded topic. Pero mukhang kakayanin naman. Just got a theme already in mind. God I miss this feeling. :)"

"Ad-Hoc Book Launching"

August 19, 2012 - Starbucks Trinoma: coffee then dinner with friends. — at TriNoma.

You can check details at my book's FB page.

Passing Time

A Storm Of Swords - HBO's Game of Thrones Season 3

In lieu of my "writer's block," I decided to read the 2nd installment of A Song of Fire & Ice: A Clash of  Kings. I finished it and can't wait to read the 3rd book which I recently purchased.

When will I write again? I don't know. I'm just going to pass time until this block is over. Hopefully soon.  

5 years

Now I can Dance by Tina Arena

It took me 5 years. Pero at least... finally, it's paid. :)
"Please understand, now I can dance!"
I can only hope this is the shape of things to come. I want to stop living from hand to mouth. 

Letting This Block Pass

To write a paragraph in my current project is hell for me. And so I'm going to let this writer's block pass by reading A Clash of Kings.

Queen Cersei Lannister - beautifully portrayed by Lena Heady who I still love from Terminator the TV series

Here were my FB entries about it:

"I keep on making excuses not to write. 2 paragraphs in 1 hour? Sheez!!! Hay nako. I'm starting to hate myself because of it. At dahil diyan... Palilipasin ko muna itong "block" na ito. Let me read na muna ung 'A Clash of Kings' (Game of Thrones S-2) na matagal ng nakatambak sa may computer table ko."

"Wala pa akong page 100 pero I can't wait to finish reading A Clash of Kings and see the HBO series Game of Thrones S-2 soon.

Fave POV character: But of course, Tyrion Lannister

Fave support characters: Lord Varys (the eunuch) and Cersei Lannister (ung nasa picture beautifully portrayed by Lena Heady who I still love as Sarah Connor in the Terminator TV series)

In the world of Kings, Knights and Lords, it's next to impossible for women to be of importance. And so my heart goes for the likes of Cersei (a queen) and Shae (whore-lover ni Tyrion). They make best of their situation and abilities.

 

And yes I'm sounding like I'm Team Lannister. Ayoko sa mga Starks. I get bored and irritated sa mga pa-goody-two-shoes. :)"

Adam Lambert - Never Close Our Eyes

Ang galing galing talaga ng ate mo. Love the "dystopian" touch in this music video. Never have I expected that "Big Brother" and disco and can go together.

Ape of Human Bullshit wrote that blogging is a dying art. Siguro. 

I've been with this blog for a decade now. Ayoko ko pa siyang bitawan.

Taylor Swift got it right. They are waiting for you to break down. So even if you're sleeping, keep your eyes open. 

The so-called ax hanging over my neck has been removed. Work and money-wise, 2012's first quarter was  harsh on me. It's the reason I laid low during the second quarter. 

People, especially at my previous work, would be surprised if they find out that I could actually lay low. But who cares? 

I noticed it since 2007, that the months July and August were harsh on me. But I hope 2012 will be an exception. Things are starting to look bright again. 

I'm going to lay low at work for the mean time and hope that time will fix things for me. 

And besides, I'm preoccupied with things that make me happy. I should focus my attention there more. 

Must Get ISP Soon

The computer rent shop I frequented to has closed. And the computer shops at the mall I go to are such a mess. I need to get an ISP account at home soon. Diyos ko day. It's gonna be an epic journey again.

Dick Move (?)

It’s official. Green Lantern is gay.

The ring has been “passed around” to several people so it’ll be a little confusing for those who don’t read the comic books or at least bother to check him out online.

The Green Lantern in the film is Hal Jordan and he’s straight. The “re-booted” gay Green Lantern is the middle-aged version of Alan Scott – the first Green Lantern. He’s supposed to be warm, handsome, Type-A personality and his colleagues would accept him for who he is.

The back of my mind screams, WEHHH????

The first Green Lantern movie was reviewed harshly. I didn’t bother to see it. I asked a few colleagues and told it me it was like Fantastic Four the movie. Okay, you can throw it down the toilet.

Should they make another Green Lantern movie: will it be Hal Jordan or Alan Scott? Will Blake Lively be dropped and be replaced by a man? If so, who will it be?

Green Lantern may not even have a partner at all. That’s how I think the comic book story will go. Bakla na nga. Tuod pa. Kawawa naman.

Is this a dick move by DC comics? Will the gay Green Lantern “survive” the market? I don’t know.

But at the back of my mind, I’m rooting for him to succeed. He’ll be the first hero (as in bida) who’s gay.
