Make Your Stand

It was one hell of a hot day.

I woke up in my apartment with the scream of my trusted alarm clock. I have no work today but I need to get up. Today is the day we stand up as a nation. Today we stand against the tyrants ruling the country.

I got up from my warm and comfy bed and turned off the alarm clock. I walked to the kitchen to get some hot coffee. If I'm lucky there would still be some left-over pizza from last night. I opened the frig and, yes, found two slices of pizza. I need to eat for the big day. I need energy for the coming storm.

I know I'm only one person but I can contribute to change. The government has been infected with a virus more dangerous than the H1N1 outbreak we are experiencing globally (apologies to the H1N1 virus). This virus is more virulent and more fatal; it affects not just individuals but a whole nation.


It's time to make my move.

I walked to my PC, coffee and pizza in hand. I put my food on the wooden table and sat on my fluffy chair. It was a perfect temperature for my blog entry, thanks to my state-of-the-art air con. I logged into my email account. 167 unread messages. I bet 90% of them are from people with the same cause. They are making their moves also.

And now it's my turn. I'll take my stand. I'll say NO! Read. My. Blog.

NO TO CON-ASS!! CON-ASS MY ASS!!!

This is me signing off...


(P.S. This pizza sure taste good when cold.)

Enter The Harvesters

Some days ago I read a news that the US government is allotting budget to 'harvest' nonfunctional or cancelled satellites for future uses. This gave me an idea of what might be a future job demand -- space harvesters.

Basically, Space Harvesters are just like garbage collectors in urban cities but instead of garbage trucks they use spaceships or high-altitude planes in their garbage collection.

They would need specially designed ships with remotely controlled appendages to handle the trash. They would also need special suits in case manual collection is necessary.

On special occasions some satellites would need to neutralized, for example, when a satellite has an auto-defense mechanism. These would need special units for evading and inactivating these defenses prior to collection.

Soon, "garbage collection" will be financed via a bounty system-- that is the Space Cleaners who collect and return the satellite junk will be paid bounty.

I could almost see a scenario not unlike those in Cowboy Bebop or Moby Dick and especially Space Cowboys.

ANOMALY - NAIA Thermal Scanner inspected by Government Officials

A few days ago, the Department of Health officials and some government politicians went to the NAIA terminal to inspect the Thermal Scanners with regards to the Swine Flu (now known as the Influenza A H1N1 virus). The NAIA's equipment were found to be working fine.

However, there is something strange observed with the machine. When one government politician went in front of the camera to test it, the images below were displayed. Technicians later explained that this is regular for all politicians that are being viewed through the thermal scanner.

This strange anomaly was dismissed as normal.

Crime Scene

Another sketch. I just thought I want to draw police lines and body lines and blood. So I came up with this. I also thought of using only black and white (noir-ish) but I like yellow and red.

Magic Trick

(Something...)

Ubernatural

Some sketches I did over the past week. All of these have supernatural themes/backgrounds.

The first one is a chained Tikbalang, a mythical creature in Philippine folklore with the head and legs of a horse and body of a human.

The second is a totem -- which is sort of an avatar that watches over a tribe or a family.

Third sketch is a drowning lady. I actually intended it to be a goddess committing suicide.

The last sketch is a fairy. Don't sue me if it looks like a character in the story with a flying boy wearing green tights.

I'll upload my other sketches later on.

(Also, please forgive me for my crappy scanner.)

Need money? Hack!

"To make the said incentive system work, there is a need to authorize the Commission on Elections to set aside the amount not exceeding P100 million to be utilized as a prize money for the said successful hacker... and cancel the contract in the event that the system will be successfully hacked and thereafter sue the winning bidder in order to recover the amount paid as damages in addition to other damages," the resolution read.

Science H.S. nilooban ng mga genius

I find this funny... Science H.S. nilooban ng mga genius

By: Jerico Javier

HINIHINALANG mga genius ang nanloob sa Manila Science High School dahil sa ang ninakaw ay mga physics at science books na nagkakahalaga lahat ng P16,000. Ayon kay Supt. Rogelio Rosales, MPD Station 5 commander, ang nakawan ay naganap sa pagitan ng 8 a.m. at 3 p.m. Lunes sa Taft Ave. corner Padre Faura St., Ermita, Manila. Ayon sa imbestigasyon, nadiskubre ni Ferdinand Bautista, officer-in-charge ng MSHS Science department, na nakabukas ang pintuan ng Science Training Room sa 2nd floor. Agad nilang nalaman na ninakaw ang limang physics books, isang organic chemistry book, limang Fundamentals of Physics na libro at anim na Biology books. Ang lahat ay nagkakahalaga ng P16,000. Ninakaw din ang dalawang Samsung flat computer na nagkakahalaga ng P30,000. Inimbestigahan kaagad ang insidente ng Scene of the Crime Office (SOCO) personnel sa ilalim ni Chief Insp. Mary Grace Alvarez. Kumuha na rin sila ng fingerprints sa naturang lugar. Sinusuri na rin ng mga awtoridad ang anggulong inside job. Source: Journal Online

Link of the Day - 04/14/2009

Today's link feature death and all his friends.


Suicide Kits, anyone?

"...in an effort to provide certainty to those contemplating suicide, one of the world's leading euthanasia advocates plans to sell barbiturate testing kits to confirm that deadly drug cocktails are, in fact, deadly. "


'Santa Muerte' or 'Death Saint'

"...in crime-ridden neighborhoods, people of all walks of life believe the "Santa Muerte" protects against violent or untimely deaths. Devotees often use elements of Catholic rites, leaving offerings of candles or praying to the folk saint for protection."


Death squad hitmen not spared by comrades: report

"In the [Human Rights Watch] report entitled "You Can Die Any Time," it said that the group has documented at least two cases of death squad killings where the victims were members of the vigilante group."


And lastly, a cool Death Saint pic from AP.
