Hey guys.
Been a while since I've actually had any activity around here.
I'm drawing stuff but I've never had the time to scan and post them.
And sadly, I don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon.

Last October was a rather gear month for me. In a matter of 19 days somewhere in the middle of October, I gave birth to a son, had my '51st' birthday (I swear, my candles said 51), traveled from Manila, Cebu, Davao, back to Manila, gave birth to a daughter, flew to Aklan and back. It's the 11th of November and I still haven't warmed my ass up at home. Good thing this month, I won't be flying out at all. I'll be in the town til the 4th of December.

By the 4th, I'll be flying my ass over to Cebu again, to meet up with my clan.
According to my dad, my great, great grandfather had at least 16 or 12 children in Lapu-Lapu City, basically all of them multiplied, and so I have truckloads of relatives to meet.

Now that saying all that has put my mind to ease, it's to get to the uneasy crap. Like my mood up there.

Yesterday, [all my troubles seemed so far awayyyy...] (SCRAP THAT, McCartney)
I attempted to draw all afternoon. After 5,6,7 sketches or so, I lost inspirado. My hand refused to draw a decent thing and not a line would come out of the pen. I slept in frustration.
I fear this block will last longer than that of January 2008.
In fact, that was barely even a block. I made a lot of images in early 2008. Scrap what I said again, that 'block' never was.
This is it. (Hey, I saw that in the theaters!)


Well, there goes my extremely short attention sp--


As I was saying, I'm experiencing artist and writer's block (I haven't written anything sprung from my own mind in a long while). But there is more to my state of uneasiness.

Just last night, according to Kuya Monra who was outside the gate, a suspicious looking man on a motorbike, wearing a bonnet and a helmet, wheeled into the neighborhood. He seemed lost but did not ask for directions from the guard of the compound (who happened to be with Kuya at the time). Instead, he simply looked around but had his sights set on [voila] my house. It was said that he tried to look at the sala through the window, looked up at my parents' bedroom window, then took note of the gate number.

Afterwards, he drew out his cellphone and typed in something. What startled Kuya most was after the man had texted, he put his phone back in his pocket and clutched at something in his other pocket. The guard and Kuya both thought whatever it was in his pocket was bulky enough to be... a gun.
Thankfully, he didn't draw that one out. He just lingered near the front gate a little longer and left.

He turned not that far from my dead-end street, and talked to some people over at the noodle house nearby. Kuya, in all his suspicions, did well enough to type in the guy's license plate number. We never would know if the man was up to something.

Those of us in the household who knew about this are rather paranoid right now. Any guy in a bonnet and on a bike, checking out a random house with something strange in his pocket, would make basically anyone anxious, right?
I haven't actually slept the entire evening. It's 5:07 now. I started typing about half an hour ago.

I've been extremely paranoid because no one really watches out by the front gate. At any time around midnight til 5 am, the man can get on his bike and shoot at the windows. And if ever anything of that sort happens, stray bullets will almost definitely hit someone in the house. I'm being too paranoid, but we're never sure if someone's just lost or already secretly targeting your home. Just wanna be extra careful.
Banina, my twincestual sister/girlfriend has become more than paranoid for sure because she will go out and buy herself a heavy duty baseball bat.
Thankfully, Dad is out of town so in case of any attacks, the van is still in the garage doubling as a bullet proof vest somehow.

Enough of this paranoia. I want peace of mind and hours and hours of sleep later.

I have to get out of the house. Though it's a lot more dangerous out there.

Back to 'lighter' topics (dark themed movies), I saw "Jennifer's Body" and "Paranormal Activity" back to back.
"Jennifer's Body" was okay, not that bloody, had funny lines and moments, and for once, Megan wasn't soooo annoying. She should play cannibals more often.
As for "Paranormal Activity"...holy shit, you CAN watch it alone. [SPOILERS BEGIN HERE!!!!] It was boring as a crap the first 30 minutes or so. 40 something minutes pass by, the only action you get is a psychic investigating their home for a few seconds, then nighttime footage of their bedroom door moving by itself. And a bit of whispering from unseen forces.

I was only creeped out for a few minutes. Like in a scene where they're trying to sleep and some weird force slams the door shut and bangs like MAD on it and all that crazy shit. That startled me for 10 minutes then all the boring daytime footage again. But all the creepy shit is in the last half of the movie. There's a scene where a Ouija board has a piece move by itself then light up in flames after writing a message. Then, the main character wakes up, and stands by the bed, watching her partner slumber for 2 hours. Who stands by a bed, staring intently, that FARKING LONG?! The creepier scene is where she gets VIOLENTLY dragged out of bed and out of the room. The next day, she's petrified and holding a crucifix. When her boyfriend takes the cross out of her hand, she's bleeding.

The movie slows down to a halt when a scene sort of repeats itself. The lead character wakes up again in the middle of the night, stands by the bed for three hours, then goes down the stairs. We don't see her do this, we just see her heading towards the stairs.
After she disappears a bit, she starts screaming from downstairs. This wakes up her boyfriend. He gets up, goes down, and very soon after, he starts screaming as well.

Once the struggle seems to end, she heads back to the room silently but she has blood all over her shirt and a knife in her hand. In time lapse, we see her sitting by the bed rocking back and forth for hours and hours (a feat impossible for the video camera). Around 9 pm or so, the police find the guy's body downstairs and search the house. They reach the girl in her room. She snaps out of her trance, and starts asking the coppers where her boyfriend is. She refuses to drop her weapon and the police shoot her.
[SPOILER ENDS HEEERE!!!]
That ,up there, was an alternate ending. I got it on bootleg dvd. The theatrical ending, according to imdb, is the girl flinging the guy's body at the camera, showing her possessed face, screaming, then text saying she was nowhere to be found after the incident.

The night I saw that movie, I slept alone in a room upstairs peacefully.
So bottom line, it actually sucked. And to those who'll see it anyway, go wait for Xmas Carol instead. It's much more worth it, dude.

Whew, this random blurb saved my life.
But I think it made me more paranoid about "Paranormal Activity". XD

Okay.
I'm out.
Hope I post art around here soon.
I'll have to get some shut-eye laaaaaater pa. XP
