March 24:
Today is the day after my birthday.
I am now officially 364 days away from turning 32.
*Thank you, dear friends who sent SMS. The greetings certainly made me smile! (can I just share Quark's: "Ate twin, you'll always look 21 with Arnold's love.")
***
My dream is to age as gracefully as fair lady Julie Andrews. Did you see her at the Awards? To think Arn and I were just watching Sound of Music on E! the other night.
We also had a blast seeing West Side Story's Rita "Heeey yoouuuu guuuuys!!!" Moreno and George Chakiris in that Oscar winners tribute.
***
Speaking of which, the Oscars is the only opportunity where I get to watch local TV commercials one after the other and I must say that the pantiliner ad showing Pops Fernandez on a bucking bronco is tasteless, just tasteless. The fact that it's very poorly done does not help at all. (Alright, sinong su-mideline nun?) I remember working on some Pepsi and Kotex ads that featured her long ago, back in her and Martin's heyday. Can't believe this is where she'd be years (and a divorce) later, poor girl.
***
Hey kids, our good friend Robert Magnuson has a Quack Fest going on here. The page still needs a bit of spiffying up (my fault, actually) but things should be in order soon.
***
Learned from Dean that their Levi's-sponsored comic Ab Ovo's 2nd issue is out. Coolness! More details here.
We also found out from Gerry that the new Graphic Classics book featuring Jack London is out as well. (By the way, my Arn did that fine-lookin' cover.)

Imagine? I remember! I must've watched The Robe or that other Lenten movie about the chaplain of the US Senate a hundred times. Which reminds me, I have to lay in a supply of videos for Holy Week.

Hey thanks
everyone!!! (:
Ramonra and Alia
- hey I didn't know
that! Still, Pops ad
was an awful
imitation. Actually
it's just plain awful.
Mary Ann - yes I
know what you
mean! Every year
na lang I'd be
scared that my
bday will fall in the
middle of holy
week. Imagine
those days when
Manila didn't have
cable yet.

Hey! Happy birthday! Are you, like my little brother, one of those people who finally had a proper birthday after several years of having it fall smack dab in the middle of Holy Week?

the ad reminded me of a banned kylie minogue ad where she also rides a mechanical bull, albeit in lingerie (kylie, not the bull). i wonder if this "inspired" the pops ad.
