Filed Under Elmer, Internet, My Art, My Comics, Online Comics, Philippine Comics, Wasted | 6 Comments

Out of the blue a week or so ago, I was approached by a Japanese going by the name of Harukichi (he gave me his real name but I think he prefers to be called by his handle), who said he had bought and read ELMER and seeing that Elmer #1 was being offered for [...]

The Good Old Days of This Blog?

Filed Under Internet | 4 Comments

People will still probably remember (and recently a few of them reminded me they do) the good old days of heated debates on this blog. Yeah, that was quite something, wasn’t it? I was pretty opinionated back then, and yes, I still am today. But there is a difference. Towards the end of those days [...]

End of October

Filed Under Internet, My Art, My Comics, Video Blogs | Comments Off

November is just around the corner and pretty soon, it’s 2012! 2011 has been another eventful year for me personally. A LOT of changes. A few health issues have forced me to look very closely at and prioritize the most important things in life. Family and work, basically. In that order. I lost a LOT [...]

Filed Under Internet, Komikero Group, Podcast | 16 Comments

Noticing a lack of audio podcasts on the subject of Philippine Komiks, Johnny Danganan, Jonas Diego and I decided to do what we hope to be are weekly one hour weekly podcasts. Podcasts were difficult for us to do before (we have done several in the past) because we had to meet to do them. [...]

Stupider

Filed Under Internet | 5 Comments

It’s both puzzling and frustrating communicating online more and more. I’m getting the impression people just don’t read stuff anymore. It’s as if they’re literally blind to what’s written right in front of them. Over the last day alone, two separate people wrote to me asking a different question each. I answered both questions directly. [...]

At 42 minutes, Three Days is a not so short film that my friends Maya Salas, Jonas Diego, Johnny Danganan, and dog Boney helped me make during periods when I wasn’t working on my comics stuff. Thanks guys! I shot it over the past couple of months, doing a few minutes here and there. Ok, [...]

Filed Under Internet, Video Blogs | 11 Comments

Stop the Presses: How to Save Newspapers by Ted Rall and David Essman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7qd8v8v2qk I saw this video via the Comics Reporter. The video is funny, but the subject matter not so much. The fate of newspapers is pretty grim. We don’t feel it yet here in the Philippines, but technologically advanced countries like the [...]

Hey, why isn’t my comment up?

Filed Under Internet | 6 Comments

Which among the words “No Anonymous Comments!” is so difficult to understand? Or is the combination of all three words simply too complex for your mind to grasp? No anonymous comments means no anonymous comments. No code names. No pseudonyms. No handles, except unless I know you personally. This is NOT a joke. Stop being [...]

Flat in Bed

Filed Under Bold Star, Books, General, Internet | 8 Comments

The last couple of days I was flat in bed with fever and an erupting stomach. I missed the Komikero meeting last Sunday. I wasn’t able to work, which bummed me the most. I’m feeling a bit all right today to start working again, and there’s lots of stuff to do. But for a couple [...]

Facebook and ME

Filed Under Internet | 5 Comments

http://www.facebook.com/gerryalanguilan At the invitation of a friend I joined Facebook a long time ago. After a few months I didn’t like it because people I didn’t like wanted me to add them as my “friend”. I closed my account instead. But disturbingly, even though I had closed my account, I could still activate it if [...]

That Video Blogging Thing

Filed Under Internet, Video Blogs | 5 Comments

I’ve been doing video blogs since July 2006. The very first video blog I did talked about a rained out Komikero meeting that ended up in our house. Now, I don’t know what possessed me to start doing these things. But I’ve always been fascinated by photography and video. Long before You Tube I was [...]
