the blog is mightier than the sword

If you didn't know yet, Jun Lozada the main star and witness of the ZTE scandal is now into blogging. Yesterday at the event of Blogger's Kapihan at the Kape Tasyo in Quezon City. It was a blog launching for Jun Lozada's blog and bloggers were invited to attend and join the open forum. I was not there to check out the blog launch and for me this is the most awaited blog for political fans and avid pinoy drama.

I'm one of those people who listened and watch the hearings on tv and radio during its first revelation to the public, and because that the issue is now less more being tackled, its a great way to go back again and think of what is happening after the big drama.

the blog of Jun Lozada is not that too much revealing, some post are more on what he believes and the philosophy he observes, he also talk about some analogy in which will help more for the country, a message for the youth and also about what he learned from our great national hero.
Jun Lozada is not Jose Rizal, but for this blog, he uses it not just to fight back, but its a blog about him and his true opinion. Its like we are reading a free Jun Lozada Ebook, and its great to see him blog and it will be better if he blog before.. the blogging Australian hit the news. But its better to be late than never. Its a great blog for Pinoy who want change for the country. And its a blog reading ground for lovers and haters of the star witness.

I might visit the blog for updates and I'm still predicting that this blog will be hot in the coming days or months. Because the first 4 post is not yet revealing, maybe Jun Lozada is avoiding the trouble of being charge with libel, but my advice is.. use codenames!

Welcome to the blogging world Mr. Lozada!

Level Up! Brings Online Racing Craze to the Philippines!

Another new online game to look out this coming month, and I'm excited to try this, that's why I signed up for the beta test, I like racing and simulation, this is something different to play online. Found this info via Hazel Miyavi's DeviantART Journal and was surprise that it is really a crazy car racing video game. to know more about the game visit http://www.crazykart.ph/

I'm now hoping that Level up! should bring this game at the Toy Con 2008.


-
May 2008, Makati City, Philippines -- Level Up!, the leading online gaming publisher in the Philippines , has always been at the forefront of successfully localizing the best online games from other countries to be played and enjoyed by Filipino gamers. Once again, the company has brought another game that will surely become a new craze in internet cafes: Crazy Kart!

The arrival of Crazy Kart to the Philippines is the result of the recent partnership made by Level Up! and Shanda Interactive China, the developer of Crazy Kart.

"Level Up! is continuously on the look out for new games that will appeal to all our players", explained Ben "Gameboss" Colayco, founder of Level Up! ?When we heard about Shanda and their award-winning Crazy Kart game, we knew exactly what will be the next big thing to hit Level Up! and our local online gaming industry," Colayco said.

In Shanghai China, Shanda is the most successful online gaming company; operating 15,000 network servers in 65 cities of China. Last year, Shanda earned $324.6 million from their online game revenues; this list also includes their roster of MMORPG's as well as their casual games. Indeed, 2007 was a very prosperous year for Shanda. "Overall, 2007 was a prosperous year for Shanda, demonstrated by the success of the come-stay-pay revenue model, the diversification of our content offerings, and steady progress in developing a virtual community on our integrated operating platform. We are confident that our strong content portfolio and powerful operating platform will lead to scalable and sustainable growth for the Company in 2008," said Tianqiao Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Shanda.

Tiangiao Chen has served as Shanda's chairman and CEO since the company's establishment in 1999. He is now branded as one of China's wealthiest men and is directly responsible for the success of Shanda . Through his pioneering spirit, more and more Chinese players are now enjoying games developed by Shanda. And now, Filipinos will also able to experience a part of its success with its award-winning online racing game, Crazy Kart.

As the newest casual game ever to hit Philippine shores, Crazy Kart is an online kart racing game filled with rich, massive 3D atmosphere and lovable characters. Aside from FreeStyle, also by Level Up!, Crazy Cart is a breathe of fresh air from the abundance of MMORPGs today.

pre-prod meeting : 7th Toy Con 2008 production note 23

read below for the complete story and also my video blog :)


We were supposed to have a meeting yesterday, but my team informed me that the meeting was canceled and they apologize that they forgot to update me about it, but its okay, since I'm already near the area, I texted RG to come and join with me to settle and plan the Toy Con cosplay thing and also some production concerns.

Also I got a chance to ask RG to teach me using Sony Vegas, its a good video editing software that I have here installed in my laptop since last year, the Sony Vegas is sleeping in my laptop and never been used and used RG is into creating short films and video editing, I heard that he uses Sony Vegas in his video work.

It was a great learning moment, I finally fell inlove to Sony Vegas, too bad that I got the demo version :( but luckily a friend will lend his software to me. We enjoy the night drinking this The ultimate mocha frappy at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaves and it tastes like my favorite Java Chip in Starbucks.



Here's a video blog about me after the band practice of Insanara, just briefed them about the Toy Con and some other gigs that are currently listed in my notebook. Lots of phone calls, texts, emails, messages etc. etc. etc. so busy, but I'm just relaxing because I'm waiting for big move from the event partner.

Insanara - band practice at Gig Station Cubao

I'm helping this band build up a scene here in Manila, and the band Insanara is from Iligan City, were the vocalist is a brother of our artists in GHG, and they are here in Manila to try out the scene and have a big break promoting their original songs and music. And I'm helping them get into the scene by involving them into my events and introduce them to my network.

Yesterday we had a short meeting and for the first time to try out jamming band practice in Quezon City, near Gateway Cubao. We got a 2 hour band practice preparing an upcoming gig this Sunday at Carbon Bar ( which I will post it later) in Julio Vargas St.,Ortigas City.

As a warm up on the first play, they did a cover song titled Amber, an original song by 311 and after the warm up, Jason the vocalist of the Insanara band, lay out a plan for the song line up for Sunday. Also I found an internet connection in the area, so while I record the band's session and I successfully broadcast the band's rehearsal and happy to see that there are people who are watching the session, then record the entire session and automatically upload it in Youtube.

But the audio recording from my microphone is not that good, the bass dominates the recording hahhaa, but next time I will place my mic near the vocalist speaker for a clear recording.


* Also I like to thank Ed of Music Picks blog for featuring the band in his blog
you can read the post here at Insanara: Rising Band from the South

Here are some photos and video from the band practice. you can view it after the link below

a story of birds and cats

I woke early in the morning, and I was disturbed by the noise of a group of frogs nearby, it was raining hard last night and it seems that the vacant lot are now being the breeding ground for bull frogs, then when I was about to eat my breakfast, I saw my pet cats sleeping and crouching outside, then my pet cat Puteh, suddenly grabbed a stray bird nearby and she run through the grassy lot of the house, I went out screaming, calling her name and after catching my cat, I saw the poor bird in its mouth, then when Puteh releases the bird, it fell in the ground and then my other pet cat Puting grabbed it, I chased the kitten infront of the gate and then I retrieve a poor black bird with cutesy eye lashes and fan-like tail, I place it first in the cage together with the lovebirds, while I search for a new cage for the poor bird, then suddenly I observed that the bird is weak and unable to fly, so I decided to keep it and feed it, and will release it till the wounds is healed.

I don't see any wound in any of its body, but some some little blood on its feather. Then after placing it in the cafe and hang it in our garden, my pet cats seems to stalk the bird even it is inside the cage, funny to watch them staring upwards to the cage and attempting to jump and grab the bird.

the bird is lucky and now in perfect condition, I researched on the net on what kind of bird is this, then I found out that it is a White-throated Fantail. ohhh fantail, so that why it explains its fancy fan like tail, it spreads whenever the bird moves and it chirps with a loud sound. I checked it if it is endangered, but I'm glad that it is not, the bird is rarely seen in Australia and also in the South East Asia, breeding season is on February to May, and I guess its their hatching season and also breeding season here, thats why I hear most of their chirps everyday.

the fantail bird looks like a youngling, that tried to fly and fell from the nest in our Mango tree.
now the fantail bird is sleeping in the cage, and its cute to look at it, because it tucks its head while sleeping and standing on the wooden stick.

will check out the bird tomorrow and maybe give a name...any suggestion ? shall I call it birdie?

TVC 2 study : 7th Toy Con 2008 production note 22

Here's a TVC study that I'm working a while ago after receiving a text message from my team that I need to make another TVC for a cable and tv network. This is a 3o seconds TVC of ToyCon 2008, I used some footages from last year, and its so hard to choose the right footage for the TVC.

in making TVC for my event, I used some tools I can see here at home, and here are some steps I did in making some of TVC back in 2004.

1. do a concept of the TVC
2. make a script
3. record your voice
4. re-edit your recorded audio file
5. edit it and time it for 30 seconds.
6. add music
7. choose the right footage, based on your script.
8. edit the whole media materials using your editing software
9. convert and render the video
10. review it first and show it to your group for approval
11. after approval, burn it in DVD
12. submit it to your friendly TV network :)

sounds easy di ba?
btw, the voice in the tvc has an effect, i adjusted my voice pitch and added some effects, for the original recorded voice, you can hear me and download the audio sample file here , funny is that you'll here a lot of outtakes of me while recording this during lunch time. hahhaha. i locked my self in a room while people in the house is busy roaming around and doing some

Fixing the band line up and schedules


That's me minutes ago, reviewing videos and music, and guess what band I'm listening and enjoying :), I have another view here which is my part 2

I'm already managing the line up of the band who will perform at the Toy Con 2008, and as I look in my list of bands who contact me and show their interest to perform in the 2 day convention, I listen to their demo samples, album and read their profile, then suddenly I noticed that there many bands who are under my list and now I'm figuring out who will perform and who will get a shot next year.

As I create a tentative list, I just discovered that I should let other bands play for this year, especially to those who will play for the first time, while others are crowd favorites and others are from our sponsors. I'm very careful now in choosing the band line up, and might avoid on what happened last year. - yeah the line up was great! it was like I was in a rock event!

but this time, as i browse my list..holy!!! I'm organizing a rock concert event! ahahaha.

so far, let me share you the list of bands who contacted me and tell me what you think.
(this line up is not yet final, I'm just sharing you a list of bands who like to perform in our event)

1. Zelle

2. Dice n K 9

3. Pidro File

4. Paramita

5. Reklamo

6. Haponesang Dilat

7. Insanara

8. Faultline

9. DRT

10. Fuseboxx

11. BANANAFISH

12. Himitsu Heki

13. Do Ahou

14. Publico

15. +Le Strange+

16. Rise of Brutality

17. Eternal Now

18. Geek City Riot

and many more, that i have forgotten already...there are too many bands who submitted their profiles, while others are anime or japanese rock band who like to play, but I'm very strict now in screening the performers. I will let them play bands who perform great music and very professional in terms of coordination with the bands, organizer and managers.

its a great list.... I think I can organize soon a rock fest! hahaaa. final list will be released this friday.

If there are other bands who would like to try a shot, then pass your sample, video (via youtube or multiply) and profile.

old lyrics.

lyrics.

title: "mapapansin kaya ng babaeng minsan kong naging kalaro? sa isang taong pupunta ulit ako sa araw ng mga laruan"

verse 1
nagiipon, nagtitiis
sana agad ay mabili
pinakabagong laruan
kami ay nag uunahan

pilit na pagagandahin
kahit pangkulay ay bitin
lahat ay aking gagawin
para lamang nya pansinin

verse 2
lagi kaming nagbabasa
ng mga komiks nyang dala
nagpupunta sa kanila
naglalaro't nagsasaya

hindi ba't napaka kulit
noong kami'y maliliit
ngayun kaya'y kamusta na?
sana naman makita sya

pre chorus
may toycon sa megamall
(nagpunta kasama ng barkada)
nagulat na lang ako
(ng may cosplay may entablado)
nakasuot sya ng pula
(at may espada pa syang dala)
ikaw nga!!!

chorus
mapapansin kaya
(ng dalagang mistulang diwata)
alala pa kaya
(ang pinagsamahan nung mga bata)
mapapansin kaya
(ng babaeng minsan kong naging kalaro)
sa isang taon pupunta parin ako

((sa araw ng mga laruan!!!))

>>>insert beat here<<<

verse 3
pilit akong nag tatanong
sa sarili ng pabulong
kung lalapitan ko na ba?
baka anong sabihin nya

hindi na baleng madapa
sanay namang mapahiya
bahala na sa salita
ko kung ako'y matutuwa

repeat

pre chorus

chorus

chorus



Edit post:
hahahaha..didn't know that the first mix disabled the other channel of the speaker.

The Buzz : Clearing some issues about me

There's this rumor monger spreading the news around the comics community and industry that I was spreading the news that I AM the new general manager of this international graphics and art service provider - Glass House Graphics, Inc. The company that I'm currently employed as their webmaster and events organizer.

I was shock to hear the news in our local friends last Saturday, and I'm glad that they are not afraid to ask this thing to me directly, and thanks to them, I settted it immediately and answer a big NO!

my answer:
I AM NOT THE GENERAL MANAGER

I just want to make this clear and it might affect my work with GHG, and our boss David Campiti is here in the Philippines, it might trigger a wrong impression on me about this rumor.
But I'm going to talk to him after his return to Manila.

with big respect to my fellow pinoy GHG, i just want to make it very clear that I'm not the general manager.

our general manager in the Philippines is Michelle Calanog, she handles all our work here in Manila and she handle it well, even that many people say that she's only an accountant or etc. etc., but for me she handle the company well and no one can ever replace her position because she knows how the field works. And she will be getting married on May 28th. Congrats to you and Rene.

I hope that everything is clear, and i don't know who is this rumor monger who likes to destroy my name again. and it was like the old years back in Year 2003 when some rumor monger is spreading the news that I claim to be an owner of this publishing company and a local anime-manga comics. But I'm glad that I clear it and many supported my statements.

I was thinking since yesterday to put a reward who can tell me who started this rumor mongering thing about me, but I decided not to know them, because I don't have to waste my precious time in their garbage activities.

I don't want to label this comic industry thing to be DIRTY and RUDE, even if they are a player of a non player in the field.

All I want is to clear this and explain the real deal.

thanks so much for your support!

Meeting the people of Kolektib Intelidyens

This is the final event I attended last Saturday, and lucky me to have a meet up with comic artist Ryan Orosco before going to Cubao Expo. I arrived too early for the event, and it was hot in the street of Cubao and I crawled down via taxi from my visit in Fullybooked Free comic book day.

But I decided to have a cold drinks and surf the internet in Gloria Jeans Coffee in Shopwise Araneta Center, were I waited for Ryan's return from his meeting. I texted Budjette at 3:00pm if they are already there, and the replied that everyone is already in the event, then I decided to go late and get updates and do some chores for me work were I try to resolve some website problems for Glass House Graphics.

Me and Ryan walked around the Araneta Center up to the Cubao Expo, were the event called 9 in 1 Kolektib Intelidyens, ( Collective Intelligence), its an event by the Visual Print Enterprise, a comic and book publisher for 9 artists.



Met the brilliant minds behind the comics of Trese, Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah, Kiko Machine, and many more. It was like a mini comic convention, because there are lots of comic fans went there just to meet the artists to get their book and comics signed by the artists, and also ask advice for their comic creators and works. Our local comic creators went there too as a fan of their fellow artists in the industry and it was fun to see them hanging out and while we take air outside the venue we had a great chat outside.

from my chat here are some great news from them.

I asked David Hontiveros about his superhero character novel online, and told him if he is willing to print the novel into comics, he said that he is willing for comics version of his novel, but its hard to manage and get artist nowadays and bring them in as a job for the title, as I told him about budget issues, and yes.. printing it is very expensive in this time, I asked what if there's someone did a fan-comic version of the novel without your consent, do you consider it?, then he said that its okay, but it will be great if he will be informed about it first. Sounds good noh? but thats only my make idea and just asked him maybe he can make it a comic book version. To know more of his online novel, visit http://davidhontiveros.com/

Then i got a short talk with Budjette Tan and Carlo Vergara, I just reminded them again for the Toy Con and I'm super excited to have Carlo and Budjette as one of my guest for the ToyCon and I told them about the panel discussions hour with the comics creator, I really want Carlo to join the panel, and yes it will be a big promotion and also an awareness that Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah has a sequel in comics. Jonas Diego was there too, and I told him about my Toy Con and invited him to join the panels, heard from him that he is working a new comics series with our local artists, even that he is not sure if the comics will be available at that time, he said that he will try to release and show some comic teasers and samples.


Chompy and Lyndon Gregorio

Lyndon Gregorio, Lei Chompy Muncal and Syeri Baet was there too, my fellow Artist's Den group, I talked to them about the latest news for the Komikon, and they said that the convention will be on the month of November and tentatively on the 22nd. They were planning to have a mini comic even before the convention and the venue still be in U.P. Bahay ng Alumni. and the big news from Syeri. She's getting married with her long time BF comic artist Jon Zamar, congrats in advance. For Lyndon and Beerkada news, hmm heard that he will release new Beeerkada Plush dolls. and my bet is a PSYCHO COW doll! ahhahahaa! which will be launched in Toy Con 2008.

For the first time I met Kajo Baldisimo, artist for Trese comics. We discuss some matters about his addition in the talent roster of Glass House Graphics and heard from Kajo that they are making a new issue of Trese, which I read it too in the Alamat ML that there's a teaser, which I failed to look at it at the event.


Btw, Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah part 2 comics was exhibited at the event, but you can check more of the preview pages in Carlo Vergara's blog at http://carverhouse.blogspot.com/

Got a great talk too with Manix Abrera, and extended my invite for the Toy Con 2008 and can't believe that he is so excited when I asked him to join with us, he said that he will be releasing a secret merchandise of Kiko Machine or maybe one of his comic works, Reisa also told me to keep it secret haahaa, congrats to Reisa too for her college graduation, now I see a marketer in the works.

met and talked to great people like Freely Abrigo and Johnny Balbona, and I'm a little bit jealous for he takes home a Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah giant poster hehehe, go Johnny! thanks for that yucky news about the hair band condom news in China.

the event is a great success. hope there will be another exhibit and also meet and greet with our local artists. arghhh.. im tired already and this will be my last post for the week. see you next weekend!
