Pounding The Keyboard

       Today is Holy Tuesday, three days away from Good Friday. For many, this is the week to be holy (pun intended). The week for an individual to repent or show how good a christian he is. Ask a priest or any religious person  and they will most likely tell you that the following things are not allowed this week(especially on Good Friday and Black Saturday):        Gorging        Meat        Sex        Porn        Cursing        Vices        Loud music        R-Rated films        Dirty thoughts        Singing (loud music)        Dancing (to loud music)        Bathing (just kidding, it is allowed, of course)        Some acquiesce to this and act all haloed the whole week—then break it when the week’s over. But many will ignore it and go to Boracay and dance naked at the beach while the dolphins watch.   (Okay, there are no dolphins in Boracay and people watch dolphins, not the other way around.)        Our family stays quiet   and shuns meat and

The comic book/manga adaptation of Fortune of the Heart ( a Precious Hearts Romances novel) I made for Black Ink Comics is now out in the market. Fortune of the Heart (the novel) is written by Heart Yngrid, a bestselling PHR author. This comic book is one of my last few works for BlackInk Comics, so it’s a definite collector’s item. He he.   Yup, I am no longer a part of Black Ink and most likely won’t be contributing to them anymore. Released simultaneously with FOTH is the 4 th installment of Tonio Tikbalang , created by Jake Vicente. I am not sure if these comic books are available in National Bookstore but you can absolutely purchase them from any Precious Pages Bookstore outlet (which you can find in SM Malls).

"Pain is weakness leaving the body.”         Who wants pain? No one but the unrepentant masochists.         What I thought was a simple muscle pain or cramp in my right arm(upper part, where triceps grow) a few weeks ago turned out to be a pinched nerve (or so I believe). I haven’t gone to a doctor but the symptoms I found in the internet fit mine.   Yup, who needs doctors when you’ve got the ever reliable internet? The internet also says that a pinched nerve usually goes back to being unpinched after a few days. But there are cases that it will take some time to heal.   Weeks, sometimes months—arrghh!         Well,   I’m almost numb with ibuprofen and cold therapy but the pain persists.   The pain is quite bearable most of the time (the arm just feels numb ) but wait till you move it the wrong way or something or someone bang it and an excruciating pain will jolt you and will make you wince in agony. It will feel like you’re either being stabbe
