Moving!

2008-10-19T10:59:00.000+08:00

Hello there! I'll be no longer updating this site...again! Instead look for my daily updates on my new BLOG.

It's going to be sort of eight blogs in one (I'm in the process of transferring my content there). If you're more interested in my personal and business blogs you can always click HERE and just skip the others.

See you guys there!

Got a new Blog?

2008-10-08T13:44:00.000+08:00

I would like to proudly present the Comic Odyssey Blog created and maintained by RMPF with the permission and blessing of the Comic Odyssey Management.

The site right now is basically just a mirror of the Comic Odyssey site but it will be featuring it's own unique content in the days to come.

Why a blog site, you may ask?

It's an experiment for RMPF in creating blogsites (an affordable alternative to websites) and it's a way for Comic Odyssey to increase their online presence.

So, please check it out and help spread the word! Click here!

Want a Martial Law Offer?

The book's retail price is Php 500.00 but interested readers can avail of the special pre-order offer: receive a signed copy of the book at Php 50.00 off and have it delivered straight to your address a week before its official release.

Wanna Read some Webcomics?

2008-10-06T13:43:00.000+08:00

The idea was to update each webcomic site at a rate of at least once a week.

The next thing I knew I was updating them on a daily basis rapidly depleting the stock of pages I have built up. It’s no fun after all going to a webcomic site and finding only 2-3 comics uploaded.

I got each webcomic title equipped with a navigation bar for an easier reading experience.

Speaking of webcomics, I wish Blogger would come up with a webcomic template just like WordPress has. Maybe one of these days the people from Google would surprise us online webcomic creators and whip one up.

Anyway, check out my webcomics!

Why won't my Adsense Display Properly?

2008-10-05T08:53:00.002+08:00

The Adsense in my personal blog, that it.

The one that displays is the leaderboard right under the banner graphics but the one at the side bar and the one at the bottom of the blog doesn't. At first I thought it was just some glitch or something but even after trying to re-install it several times it still won't display properly.

The only time it does display properly is when you click on a specific post and view an article by itself.

Anybody got any ideas why Adsense is behaving that way?

How old am I Today?

2008-10-04T18:09:00.000+08:00

33.

Why do Guys pee on the Toilet Seat?

2008-10-03T20:17:00.001+08:00

I decided to dedicate a few pages of my webcomic, Life and Times, to explaining the reasons behind this. Click on the following links to read the comic.

Life and Times 3
Life and Times 4
Life and Times 5
Life and Times 6

There's a navigation bar just below the comics for easier...well, navigation.

How many Blogs can I Handle?

2008-10-01T18:37:00.003+08:00

I just realized when I took a look at the Blogger Dashboard that I have currently a total of 31 blogs in Blogger.

Out of those 31, 25 are active and the rest I'm keeping for future purposes. Let's not forget my Word Press blog, my Multiply account, and my DeviantART account.

All in all I have 34 blogs!

Is Dropping out of College Good?

2008-09-27T00:10:00.003+08:00

A very inspiring speech by Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and
co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios,
on the 2005 Stanford Commencement Address.

Very inspiring!

Guess who's Back?

2008-09-20T11:23:00.002+08:00

Well, I am...obviously.

After an absence of a month and a half, give or take a few days, I am back. The new internet connection is working like a dream meaning we can now return to our regular scheduled programming.

Stay tuned.

Can do Ads?

2008-07-20T11:46:00.005+08:00

I was wondering, now that Multiply has a paid premium account (whose only benefits it seems to me is the removal of the ads in the popular blogging service's templates and unlimited storage for one's various media) can one now earn from one's Multiply blog by placing one's own ads there?

Why is Passion Important?

2008-07-12T12:18:00.003+08:00

Passion for your dreams and ambition, I mean.

It's important because when everything else has deserted you you will find that your passion for whatever it is that you're doing will be the only thing that will keep you going and nearer your goal and hopefully eventual success.

But is passion more important than know-how and talent or is talent and know-how more important than passion?

Why Plurk?

2008-07-10T21:00:00.004+08:00

A friend invited me to Plurk which is something like Twitter.

I hardly have enough time to twitter much less to plurk but I sign up anyway because I like the interface and I'm a bit curious about the application.

I wonder if I'm actually going to last plurking? Probably as long as my (pretty pathetic) twittering efforts.

What Side?

2008-07-08T09:50:00.004+08:00

They say that when someone is cranky or moody that he probably got up on the wrong side of the bed.

What side is the right side?

Foes Forever?

2008-07-06T19:47:00.004+08:00

Caught site of this graffiti during our monthly Komikero meeting at San Pablo, Laguna.

The park fixtures and even some of the statues are defaced with various writings and drawings mostly done by vandals and probably a few young couple discovering love for the first time and wishing to declare their love for everybody to see decide to apply marker to concrete and scribble away.

So does fo-ever means you'll be enemies for life?

Why is Batman so COOL!?

2008-07-03T09:26:00.007+08:00

Sorry for the fanboy gushing.

I'm currently watching Batman: Gotham Knight starring of course my favorite comic book character of all time, Batman.

Despite the variety of animators and artists varying interpretation of the character over the years (in comics, animation, and in film), one thing stay consistent: Bats still remains kick ass!

How does one make such a cool and enduring character?

As a comic book creator myself, I can only hope to create something as iconic and enduring.

Why Does Everything Happens all at ONCE?

2008-07-02T10:28:00.002+08:00

It's never just bit by bit. It always has to be all or nothing.

It doesn't matter if it's good things happening or bad things happening. Once things start happening you better hope you get a hold of something bolted down because you're liable to be blown away if you don't.

What the Heck is THIS!?

2008-07-01T22:45:00.003+08:00

It's basically a place where I blog about questions I have in my head.

Some of them may make sense and others may not. In fact, it's pretty safe to say that most of the questions you're going to encounter in this here blog will probably belong to the nonsensical category.

So why ask?

first of all, it's a great way to clear my head (pretty much how Dumbledore uses the pensieve in the Harry Potter universe) and second, you never know when you might actually get a real sensible answer. If the query in question is nonsensical in nature then the answer becomes even more special.

While we're at this, why don't you ask your own questions?

After all, you're never going to get an answer if you don't ask.
