Exactly 2 years ago, I became friends with three Chinese girls. Three evil, conniving Chinese girls named Louise Co, Karol See and Riva Uy. Back then, I still had a girlfriend, but she migrated to NJ and left me all alone :(. I have no proof, but I blame those three girls for separating us. Not only did they do that, they also put a curse upon me by doodling all over my right hand and arm(even reached my elbow) using permanent markers, thus preventing me from entering relationships(but not flings lol) ever again. Or so it seems.
Evil Chinese Girls.
Years went by and every attempt made for a relationship failed miserably. But as we said fairwell to 2007 and happily welcomed 2008, something miraculous happened. I broke free from the curse. After two agonizing years, I’m finally in a relationship again. It began as a simple text message. Your typical group message wishing everyone a happy new year. I recieved round 50 of those during New Year’s eve; 20 of them aren’t registered to my phone, so I asked them all ‘Hu u?’. Only a handful replied complaining that I don’t know their numbers. She was one of them.
Turns out that she was my blockmate in a non-major class 2 years ago, she used to sit infront of me and prevented me from paying attention to the professor. After a few friendly texts and thanks to the peer pressure from my friends Jack Daniels, Red Label and Smirnoff, I asked her if she wanted to meet. She surprisingly agreed. We met at Green Hills at 9am; but when we arrived, we came to a sudden realization that it’s New Years day and everything is closed. Go us!
After a few mins of facepalm-ing, we decided to cool off in her car(Yes, I don’t have a car yet. Sucks to be me)until we think of something to do. We couldn’t decide on anything so we wasted gas and went on a road trip to find places that are open. For some reason, we ended up in Luneta. We spent the whole afternoon there just exploring the place and exchanging cheezy lines. Things went even cheezier when we watched the sunset together at Manila Bay.
I went home exausted and slept through January 2nd. Happy with the fact that the curse has been broken and I’m finally in a relationsip again. But wait, like all real-life stories, there’s a catch. I am departing to the land of Sand and Shawarma(aka Dubai) on the 26th. Nice timing for a relationship. Shit.

Okay, so it’s NOT dead yet. I personally blame Dr. McCoy for malpractice. But yeah, bloggy’s not dead; But I won’t be posting about comics(much) anymore. At least not as detailed as before, maybe some I HATE *insert writer/artist/editor/EIC here* here and there. Instead, I’ll be using this as my personal blog. Yes, the url/banner/theme/color/EVERYTHING is comic-y, but I don’t care! I happen to like my Nightwing theme. This blog is now about my life(w/c is far more interesting than comics anyway..I think), just like my old Tabulas blog(click if you want a sample).
I’ll edit the About/categories/inks/comic pages later. Maybe. If I don’t forget. And from now on, I’ll be posting as Bazookaman instead of blindman. I just feel like it.
PS. Special thanks to Drew for making me feel guilty for almost killing the blog and Ate Ria for her divine bloggyness and advice.

Okaaaay…
I’m too euphoric about giant robots to talk about anything comic-related right now, instead I’m gonna pimp my new blog: http://www.blindrockzine.com/

About last week’s stash.. I err, uhm… I BLAME SMARTBRO!
Now that that’s been cleared up, on to more important matters.
Blue Beetle #19:
This is part of last week’s stash, but I just realized that this is currently my favorite title. I think Jaime and Traci makes a good couple; and with Brenda around, tenenen! A love triangle! Sweet. He learns the value of pressure points, especially when fighting magic giant girls. I can’t wait for the Sinestro Corps tie-in next issue!
Countdown 30:
I enjoyed this week’s countdown much thanks to the Jokester. I hope he sticks around for the rest of the series, that way Jason Todd can actually have a reason to be angsty all the time. Well, at least they’re going to *interesting* earths now, here’s hoping that they end up in gender-switch earth next week!

Wow, I haven’t cursed Vertigo since forever.
Yes, I’m 3 weeks late, but I don’t care!
We never got her name! Why must she die? WHY!?
With the next issue due on November, all I can do is sulk, be angsty and redirect my anger by Defending the Ancients. GRRR! T_T

Yes folks, it’s that time again. Time to curse DC’s editorial staff again! Wooo!
Countdown 32:
First of all, Stargirl isn’t in this issue. Why must you lie to me DC? Why!?
Nothing much in this issue. Piper and Trickster escape Hassan(Zatanna’s Mummy aka guard) and was let loose on Canary’s Bachelorette party. Bob and co. are still lost out there somewhere, and Mary Marvel finally met Eclipso. Meh, I hate how Zatanna’s being portrayed in Countdown -.-
Oh, Paris and Nicole tried to drink Lady Blackhawk’s Pomegranate Margarita.
btw, Anyone else noticed this?
Is that a THINIP or Marvel’s copyrighted THWIP? Hmmmm…
On to more important matters: Fanservice!
Green Arrow and Black Canary: Wedding Special:
This issue was summarized perfectly by my hero Plasticman:
An awesome car wreck indeed.

For those of you who think Hasbro and comic book toys don’t think of their fans, I present to you Hank Pym’s latest figure from Hasbro, his Yellowjacket Persona:
Why is this such a big deal, you ask? Notice the pre-sculpted non-articulated hands. A clenched right fist and an open left palm.
Looks familiar, yes?
