Champurado

With the title alone I think I’ll have few more hits on this one than the average hehe. I learn it from those tabloid guys who sensationalize headlines but when you read the whole story its all crap. I’m not saying that this post is a crap, I’ve read more crappier (is there such a word as crappier?)    post than this one, and the weblog has all the crappiest post the world has to offer.   No pun intended, im talking about Jesus and Arvin, two good friends, they're at the studio last Saturday for a workshop and between breaks we had, as usual, the craziest conversation as ever.   Jesus Genotiva, or Jess or Jessy Boy as we call him, a self-proclaimed chick boy (pwede sa chicks pwede sa boy?), has been busy as a bee lately finishing one exhibit after the other, the most recent is his 3 rd  solo effort at the CCP entitled “Laman-loob” which unfortunately (fortunately?) I missed. He’s preparing again for Ateneo and a  Japan  exhibit (sama ko man!) and he’s busy cooking din daw haha… Je...

Stumble upon this short story by National Artist for Literature Alejandro Roces (it's pretty long but trust me its a short story) on a book titled 'Panorama of World Literature for Filipinos',  i find this story amusing and funny at times. We may call the humor of Alejandro Roces as humor of exaggeration, the funny situations are laugh-provoking because they are... well... exaggerated hehe sometimes satirical. He wrote 'We Filipinos...' as a student of Arizona University and was first published in The Arizona Quarterly, i think it won him an award in literature from that university. So if you have a minute to spare read on. Happy reading!   We Filipinos are Mild Drinkers by Alejandro R. Roces WE Filipinos are mild drinkers. We drink for only three good reasons. We drink when we are very happy. We drink when we are very sad. And we drink for any other reason. When the Americans recaptured the Philippines, they built an air base a few miles from our barrio. Yanke...

Looks like a face to me. Waddling? Haha ala mechanical robot, its been a while since I created an artwork and im very much limited to the confines of my digital canvas as my real canvasses are long gone and has been a resting place for dust and cobwebs. The fact that my 8hour job (or more?) has eaten up a good amount of my time and my former studio cum bodega has been invaded by my little Taz’s toys and other bebi paraphernalia which has left me with nothing much of a choice but to content myself with my mouse and monitor. Here are few doodles from a few week ago’s kawalang magawa sa buhay. Have mouse will paint!

Sumanib na si tatay sa ADD? Hmmm I think it’s something inevitable, something not surprising, he’s been watching that program for almost a year now. ADD o mas kilala as brother Ely’s And Dating Daan has been tatay’s everyday Bible study, not that there is anything wrong about it, in fact he’s been moderately smoking and not drinking at all, (oha, oha!) since then, so I guess there is really something good about it, the joining thing I mean. Yun yata yung kanyang lifelong search for a true religion, ewan ko rin.   This brought me to these quotable quotes. One is from a Filipino author and the other one from a religious personality, one is funny and the other is even funnier which is which? Go figure!   Quotable Quote 1: “Ang pag-tatalo ng tao kung may Diyos o wala ay parang pagtatalo ng mga garapata kung may aso o wala. Ang pagtatalo ng tao kung sino ang Diyos ay parang pagtatalo ng mga garapata kung ano ang pangalan ng aso.” - Bob Ong   Quotable Quote 2: When...
