12th of 12th! 3 days to go and we STRIKE!

I've said most of what I wanted to say in the Foreword part of the first anthology of Kartunista (KarMa) Manunulat. Feel free to browse any zine-like whatever I have with me, upon any ELBI encounter. Thoughts are, supposedly, free anyway. To sum up what has been said (and, perhaps done), the stakeholders of UPLB are faced with challenges larger than the large class policy. Amidst U.P.'s 300% tuition increase in 2006 under the Roman Empire, austerity measures were implemented--and any dissent was ignored, if not prohibited or violently silenced. Student institutions were paralyzed with administrative orchestrations, organizations were harassed and so on.

Now, four years after, amidst the P1.39B budget cut, there is an impending dorm fee increase (1000php / month?) and there are, as usual, upcoming commercialization schemes. The difference, though, is that the students, I think, now knew how to face these violations of academic freedom and democratic rights (in UPLB's case, without their University Student Council that, again, allegedly went to the beach while other councils during the GASC were deliberating on the stance re: budget cut! Isn't this delinquency, if not an utter manifestation of mediocrity? or even neglect of sworn duty, ie, to represent the students? Is this what they deem collegial and academic? Honor and excellence pala, ha.). There was once a day when it seems like the global education sector is on strike. Now, four years after, the 15th marks the 4th anniversary of Tuition and Other Fee Increases.

Some students though chose to divide to studentry by instilling malice against student leaders they deem delinquent--and this grouplet (same students that I'm pertaining to in the previous paragraph!), upon further scrutiny are actually the ones who fail, not just in their academics. They are delinquent in being scholars of the people as well, since they often shun the title as they'd rather call themselves scholars FOR the people, thus separating them in their ivory towers as mere charity or donors or givers to their poor, invalid, helpless, uneducated countrymen. The admin lapdogs, rabid lapdogs, in studentskin are, again, hiding in the guise of their flawed and ridiculous advocacies, which include pointing a finger at the Left and digging up insignificant corpses and magnifying trivial issues. Pero campaigning against budget cut and commercialization of education? May pasok / exam / field trip / gimik / akads / date / party / meeting / beach / escapade / atpbng excuse sila!

This is what KarMa's objective reality is, during its fourth anniversary and Kartunista-Manunulat Kolektib would still live up to the challenges of the most trying of the times. It is in this light that we encourage our fellow students to join the ranks of the larger studentry (and join with 'benevolent' forces even outside the youth sector) to assert for higher state subsidy for basic social services and criticize state abandonment of education. This is why we shall support and join the STRIKE on December 15. DEKALIBRE, a cultural night for free and quality education, then follows. Raising particular concerns re: education-related issues are the zines that we shall make available during the consecutive events.

LIHIM NG MGA LESPU has always been a rarity during comics conventions since, I think, no local komiks / illustrated narrative dares to be this political, especially during these dark times when a statement against the fascist state is equivalent to putting one's life in danger--other than being unpopular. The story is about a keen photographer who discovers something after joining the LAKBAYAN or the long march of the peasants from the Southern Tagalog region to Mendiola. LESPU, originally an ENG106 (Creative Writing) submission, was accepted as a workshop piece at the 10th IYAS Creative Writing Workshop.

ANG ENGKWENTRO SA PALMA BRIDGE NG MGA BATANG PINALAYA(S) SA SINAPUPUNAN, with a new cover (and title?!), and PANAYAM KAY IO are loosely connected stories that attempts to reimagine the Oblation and other related matters / issues / symbols / whatsoever U.P. stood for. Both also tells of an implicit war. Anyway, the former was a FIL20 (Piling mga Katha sa Panitikang Pilipino) requirement while the latter was the first wall komiks of KarMa. While jumpstarting and developing my other narratives including the coma200(Creative output) ANG FEBRUARY FAIR NG DIS PATER), PANAYAM was incubated for four years and it shall be released for the very first time in ELBI on the 15th. It was first sold at the BLTX.

Finally, the COLLECTED VANDALISM #1: THE PORTABLE GALLERY OF KARMA KOLEKTIB titled "A SMALL PRESS AGAINST THE LARGE LECTURE CLASS POLICY" + KARMALENDARYO 2011, our very first anthology, is the star of our ZINE LAUNCHING (Salamat sa UPLB Writers' Club). The title said everything I have to say.

So, cross the 15th on you calendar and please do attend the STRIKE then the DEKALIBRE cultural night tentatively set at the CAS Anx2 Ruins, before going on vacation, if you call what you are about to have "a vacation." Anyway, we might leave copies of the zines at Crazy Carabaos. We shall deliberate re: participating in KOMIKSTRIP 2011. Presyong negosyante kasi ang tables for indie eh. Sana makadiskarte, madala man lamang doon kahit papaano ang campaigns!

15, before the 15th!

Dahil nakakatamad magplug, copypaste ko na lang ang nasa FB. Katatapos ko lang maglayout ng isa at after maglayout ng ilan pa, tsaka na ako magpproofread. Anyway, eto ang stat message na walang pakialam sa character constraint shit:

"UPLB! Markahan sa Kalendaryo: DEC15! STUDENTSTRIKE! DEKALIBRE cultural night kontra-state abandonment of education! Karma Komiks LAUNCH mala-ZINES: ELBI launch ng PANAYAM KAY IO, may copies pa ng LIHIM NG MGA LESPU at siyempre, ang COLLECTED VANDALISM: THE PORTABLE GALLERY OF KARMA KOLEKTIB #1 na tentatively titled THE SMALL PRESS AGAINST THE LARGE LECTURE CLASS POLICY. May kasama itong 2011 Calendar! Kaya markahan sa Kalendaryo, DEC15! To be announced pa ang venue, pero somewhere sa ELBI lang yan. Umaga til afternoon siguro ang STRIKE, gabi, malamang ang CULT NIGHT at ZINE LAUNCH."

Laos na to, pero wala akong pake, trip trip lang!

15 Characters

The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen fictional characters (television, films, plays, books, video games) who've influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag at least fifteen friends, including me, because I'm interested in seeing what characters my friends choose.

01. Raskolnikov (Crime and Punishment)

02. Spider Jerusalem! (Transmetropolitan)

03. Homer Simpson (Malamang!)

04. Mack the Knife (The Threepenny Opera)

05. "Pinhead" (Hellraiser)

06. The Great Cthulhu (Lovecraftian Mythos)

07. Qfwfq (Cosmicomics)

08. Tralfalmadorians (Slaughterhouse-Five)

09. V (for Vendetta!)

10. Diablos (Final Fantasy VIII)

11. Folken Fanel (Vision of Escaflowne)

12. Reiko (Contemplating Reiko)

13. Nathan Explosion (Metalocalypse)

14. Lord Fanny (The Invisibles)

15. Joker-Batman Tandem (Eh?)

Panayam Kay Io etc.

Okay. Here goes nothing. PANAYAM KAY IO is expected (at least I expect it) to be "launched" at the BETTER LIVING FOR XEROXOGRAPHY Press Expo at Ilyongs Project 4 Cubao, Dec 3. I am not sure whether I'll be there at 7pm, or Ill just appear at, say, 9 or 10pm. So far, I think I can make it and cram things before the event proper. (See, I used photographs as--well, see for yourself how I cheated my way to "break the deadline," while there is no actual deadline. The layout though was still a pain in the neck and the eyes and *some text missing*. You may browse, of course, and not buy it if you think I flunked and I am just ripping you off or something and you think your @35php does not deserve a copy of the mentioned komiks.) A few copies of the remaining LIHIM NG MGA LESPU shall also be sold. Xeroxed copies @30php and printed ones @35php (almost quite settled to not print another set of copies). I mentioned here that I shall post the final list, but so far, there is no final list YET. The 2007 illustrated narrative ANG ENGKWENTRO SA PALMA BRIDGE NG MGA BATANG PINALAYA(S) SA SINAPUPUNAN with a new title and new cover is also expected to be sold at @25, if it shall be photocopied, as, as of now, I am not sure whether it shall be printed as well (emphasis on "expected"). I resorted to printing, by the way, because the dark areas suffer from photocopying centers. Anyway,

If some things should further go horribly wrong, PANAYAM KAY IO wouldn't be launched then. But I am sure that it shall be finished not later than the fourth Anniversary of Kartunista-Manunulat (KarMa) Kolektib at the 10th of December 2010--the international human rights day.

The artwork "I want you so bad I've driven you mad," shall be installed at the Ishmael Bernal Gallery, UP Diliman on December 1. I received this FACT SHEET 5 poster by email and it confirmed that the Actual exhibit opening commences at 3pm and the event ends at 5pm. Details of the 3 December 3 events, including the RIGHTS v. 3 public screening [FB Event here] can be found in this previous entry here.

***

Beyond this point are quick musings.

***

At this point, I think I wouldn't be doing any komiks or any visual-arts related things anymore. Not that I've achieved anything in the komiks scene--as PANAYAM KAY IO shall actually be my first komiks. I consider all the others as either illustrated narrative or mere komiks pages such as KarMa works (this site needs an update). It just doesn't work. Or, maybe, I can talk with komiks artists for collaborative work and make thumbnail layouts or illustrations if needed. Or draw for myself and for my eyes alone. I might continue quasi-literary endeavors to preserve my sanity. By the way, I am Elbi-bound in a while. How I hate Elbi now. I have to have warnings before these tendencies to disclose. This carcosite is, still, for personal use after all. And I hope nobody minds since this is "my" public space. Thank you and please do come to the events mentioned. I am also thinking of not committing to such anymore. Just thinking. Well, you don't have to read this but I want to thank you for reaching. this. point.

3 December 3 Events

Combo. Just like these three simultaneous studentstrikes: Italy | UK | Philippines

Still hesitating to post these, but, come what may. Huwag sanang ma-jinx:

* DITO NA BUMILI NG PAMASKO * SUPPORT THE PINOY SMALL INDIE PRESS *

*Beyond this line ay mga paliwanag!*

Never mind the supposed release of PANAYAM KAY IO.

I am supposed to sell somewhat "new" editions--na either new covers lang naman or edited shameless plug pages--of Lihim ng mga Lespu, Ang Engkwentro sa Palma Bridge nung mga Batang Pinalaya(s) sa Sinapupunan at Killing Disease. Would post a final list of releases ASAP. Sure na though ang Lihim ng mga Lespu kasi lumanding dito. Yung mga natira noong Komikon 2010 na photocopied versions ay 30php. Yung bagong mga printed versions (kasi, tingin ko, badtrip ang kalidad nung photocopied) ay 35php (pasensya na sa +5php).

Muli, dito ko na siguro pasasalamatan ang mga bumuhay sa akin noong isang linggo habang nasa ELBI kung saan ang punks ng pakiramdam kasi nakikitulog at lagalag at walang tiyak na pera ako noon: Yung mga bumili ng unang bago at printed na editions ng Lihim ng mga Lespu: sina Rico, Seth, Ayel, Ta-tuh, Charmie, Magtan, Xean, TJ at Blocmates ni Aye.

Asahang bago matapos ang taon, irerelease ang PANAYAM KAY IO, pero, so far, possible pa namang mairelease siya sa third of December at parang willing ako, ata, na hindi umattend nung ibang events matapos lang ang komiks na tingin ko eh "nagsimula ng lahat."

UPLB Perspective Nostalgia

I think it has almost been a year since the release of the first and only regular issue of UPLB Perspective SY 2009-10. Student funds were not collected, paralyzing the publication but never its dissent against repressive administration policies. I'd keep this entry short--still had things to do. A lot. Sigh. Anyway. Download the pdf file here. I just had the urge to post this entry for Tisa. Salamat. Because I remain unemployed, I've been doing projects that shall be posted on this site.

RIGHTS v.3 / QBCCC Plug

This is only a preview for the entry of Tilde and Mikel Mozo. Here's the original intro lifted from the call for submission of Artists' Arrest:

"The Southern Tagalog Exposure and ARTISTS’ ARREST “Artists Response to the Call for Social Change and Transformation,” in cooperation with KARAPATAN-Southern Tagalog and the FREE JONAS BURGOS MOVEMENT is now organizing the third installment of the “RIGHTS” project - a compendium of short videos intended to increase awareness and rally support behind the respect for human rights. RIGHTS was designed as a continuing project. It has successfully produced 2 volumes containing the works of budding and established filmmakers alike."

The FACTSHEET 43 Art exhibit left One Caldi Place, UPLB. I think it is in Sagada this week, then it shall later rest in Baguio City for another week. Please visit the UPLB Zoom Out Multimedia Collective Page for further details about these activities. Along with the premiere of RIGHTS v.3 shall be the opening of another FACTSHEET in December. These films and artworks shall also be brought to UPLB soon. Abangan!

Cyberpunking Again: A WRSD PS!

Hyperlink-laden ito!

Somehow, this is going somewhere. Got my copies of sunday times. Had very insightful exchange of ideas with Rhodge and Julien re: prose, poetry and life (Naks! paDeepsh*t!) . Then, an accidental World Raising the Standards Day enlightenment. Reminiscence of the the not-so-recent past comes next. Have read a Neonomicon review, and Alan Moore's take on magic and comics and Watchmen here, and here. Currently (re?)reading cyperpunk-related essays that seem quite familiar such as these two matrix essays, this Transmetropolitan review with scans, and this list of sci-fi films that I might watch later. And, would also queue two threads from filipinowriter.com. Hm.. Where would I schedule Steampunk and Automatik Kafka, then? :L Viewed a steampunkd tumblr here. And a geeky alphabet here. Somehow moved on with the NU issue. Few days to go and it is someone's birthday and something's anniversary. In between is The Deadline! And as we speak, here's a link to news that media conglomerates would not dare cover. Spontaneous post. Reflects how I need focus. That's 20 links, if I counted correctly. I need sleep. But I can't.

Wouldn't be in any social networking sites for around five days. Please kontak me via yahoo messenger or email or sms, had there been anything that you need to tell me.

PS (within a PS [within a PS! Nakailang [re]copypaste ata ako!])

An announcement from The Quarterly Bathroom Companion Comics Compendium that would be launched at the November 13 Komikon, then I would logout!:

ATTENTION! First volume ng QBCCC! Contributing creators: Adam David * Ammathorn * Apol Sta. Maria * Bugsy Garcia * DJ Legaspi * Hub Pacheco * Jim Faustino * Jobert Cruz * Josel Nicolas * Mervin Malonzo * Norby Ela * Rex Romano * Tilde Acuña * Teddy Pavon

70 - 80 pages of craziness! November 13! Komikon!

p.s.: Those who still owe us stories for this volume, HURRY UP & SUBMIT (AJ!)! Thanks.

p.p.s.: Lineup may still change... sana hindi na. Pero final na yan! Wala nang aangal!

Back to Drawing

Seems like somehow, it is going well. I hope it really is.

Zombie-ing again really gives the productivity illusion.

About two days to go, and it's LAKBAYAN. Another hope.

Calliope: Again, I Plead

I have been in isolation for almost five days. I have deprived myself of social networking sites, and other pleasures. I have (re)read at least five works of fiction (Vonnegut, Atwood, Wong, Mieville, Calvino), excluding at least four comic books (Gaiman, Ellis, Morrisson, Ligotti) and at least two nonfictions (Susskind, Lynch). I even tried listing fifteen things. I wrote what I dreamt about. I also tried writing prompts. And clustering. I read and researched about my preferred topic. And all I have is a concept. An idea. For one draft. I had another idea to turn into a draft, way back then. I needed three. So, I just need another idea. And three rough drafts. Blabbering did not help. Back inside my head and Microsoft Word. Or Not. Back to comics, perhaps. Or drawing. Or layout. Or anything. Later, UPLB would walkout against the P1.39 billion UP Education Budget Cut. And, here I am, procrastinating, just like the old days when I was a student, who walks out of class to protest against campus repression, and such. This would later be fed to fb, though. Since I have neither been interacting through likes or comments nor tagging contacts, I think I would not receive unsolicited comments. And as I indicated on the "labels" or "tags" here in blogspot, this is indeed just a senseless, irresponsible, worthless rant.

Oh, and I am thinking of selling another book. Anne Rice's Tale of the Body Thief, for 150php. Bought that book eons ago for, I think, 175php. I am also thinking of selling Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale for 180php. This is the link to the original quasi-bookseller entry. After re-reading "Brief Lives," the Sixth Volume of the Sandman series, I further thought that I just could not sell any of them. For now.

Six Fifteens + Two

This meme has been plaguing facebook, but I wouldn't post mine there. I would just wait for the blogspot feed. These lists are done in spontaneity. If I am a book, do not judge the book, by the lists. Labo. You could assume that I honestly placed my fifteens in at most fifteen minutes. Those with asterisks are items in my "wishlist." I may have read them or not, but I want them on my bookshelf. Some of the items on the list are books/films that I haven't completely watched/read.

***

another 15. kadaragdag, ika-27 ng setyembre,

Lubusin ko na pagkabadtrip. makiki-15 pet peeves na rin.

0. Kapag anliit ng font at parang ayaw magpabasa ng teksto.

1. Kapag laglagan galore na tapos hindi man lang makaramdam yung mga nanlalaglag na nakakabadtrip na sila, tas pag nahalatang naaasar ka na, dadaanin pa rin sa biro at kung anu pang mga kabullshitang palusot. Kumbaga their entertainment at your expense. Buhay mo ang pulutan nila, ganun. Lesson learnt, wag magdidisclose sa mga *some text missing*

2. Kapag wala ka nang pera tas naaalala mo yung mga taong may utang sa yo at makikita mo silang maunlad at maligaya at kontento. Ang masaya pa nito, sa sobrang tagal na nung ibang utang, parang ikaw pa yung may utang na loob kapag siningil mo sila. Nakakahiya nga naman sa kanila eh, di ba?

3. Kapag may ginagawa ka at may mangaabala tas nasa momentum ka na ng ginagawa mo. Lalo na pag yung nangaabala napakawalangkwenta nung dahilan ng pangaabala. Pinakabadrtip pag nantitrip lang yung nangaabala tas ngingitian ka lang kapag gusto mo nang magpasabog ng sentido ng mga tao sa vicinity.

4. Kapag may mga self-righteous na taong nagsesermon nang walang humpay kahit hindi linggo, na kadalasan ginagawa nila sa propesyobal at aroganteng pamamaraan: ang social networking sites. Kadalasan ang esensya ng sinasabi nila, "Magaling ako at nagsasakripisyo para sa ikabubuti ng lahat. Kayo, hindi."

5. Kapag tahol nang tahol yung aso ng kapitbahay namin, katulad ngayon, kahit wala naman ako nakikita o nadaramang tao, multo o anumang entidad. Ang ingay kasi, ang sarap bazookahin ng bunganga nung aso.

6. Kapag may hinahanap na hindi mahanap at kailangang kailangan--na maaaring tangible na kagamitan o alaala. Naks. Drama. Tas kadalasan, matatagpuan ang mga ito kapag hindi kailangan.

7. Kapag sa sobrang dami ng gusto mong gawin, wala nang magawa o matapos. Halimbawa, sa pagbabasa ng libro, andami kong nasimulan na hindi natatapos. Ganoon din sa pagsusulat.

8. Kapag ramdam mong pa-cool at pa-deep yung tao, tas binibili yung pagpapa-astig niya ng ibang karaniwang tao, tas kahit alam mong olats siya at *some text missing*

9. Kapag nalamang pinaunlakan ni ganito si ganun, tas ikaw hindi. O kaya winalangya ka ni ganito kasi may ganito kang pagkakamali, pero hindi niya winalangya si ganun kahit parehas o mas hebigat ang pagkakasala ni ganun.

10. Kapag hindi ka naka-tag tas natuklasan mong pinaguusapan ka pala in a derogatory sense at pinagtitrippan / pinagtsitsismisan ng mga kakilala. Mas okay pang gaguhin ka nang harapan kesa kapag nakatalikod ka. Likewise, nakakabadtrip din pag naka-tag ka tas nakatago ang wall ng kontak kung saan ka naka-tag, kaya parang pinaguusapan ka nila inside the beyond of the behind your back.

11. Kapag narerealize mong parang ambilis ng panahon at parang ambabangis ng mga kakilala mong kasabayan mo at napagiiwanan ka na, sa isa o higit pang aspeto.

Lalo na't yung iba e star na at yung iba may star complex lang.

12. Kapag pa-VIP ang kausap. Lalo yung andami mong sinabi, isang salita lang ang tugon.

13. Kapag tagapagligtas ng sanlibutan ang kausap. *Gusto ko ng armchair at champagne*

14. Kapag hindi mo malaman kung iniinsulto ba ng kausap mo ang intelektwal mong kapasidad o ganoon talaga kababaw ang pagsusuri niya. Sarap tanungin ng "Tinatanga mo ba ko, o ikaw ang tanga?"

15. Kapag wala na akong maisip. Tulad ngayon. Naiinis na naman ako.
