ASSORTED NUTS

this is what's keeping me busy these past few days.. been reading the posts.. strips.. blogs.. and comments on this webcomic.. haha!! i feel sad that i just discovered it lately. i was able to read the from the Nov issue until the latest though.. and i was so ROFWLOL while doing so..

(nosebleed.. yoko mag-English..)
this webcomic is so hilarious.. it kind'a reminds me of my high school friends.. only we were not called Assorted Nuts.. but we were called HYPERCADAH.. corny.. i was the one who named our group like that.. we were always hyper.. always energized.. like Energizer Batteries.. now Energizer should pay me for this..
(blood loss.. sabi nang ayokong mag-English eh..)
anyway, i was browsing in http://www.topblogs.com.ph/humor/ and this number 26 blog kind'a caugth my attention.. what's in the name? is this another joke blog...? featuring old corny jokes that the writers recieved on their phones? i was wondering how those kinds of blogs make it to the top.. anyway.. "ASSORTED NUTS"  i clicked on the title and voila! it showed a banner with cute characters. it's so fun.. i felt like ignorante clicking on each of the characters over and over again.. ahh.. the things technology can make.. it's magic..


ehermmnn.. enough with my ignorance.. going back to the topic.. Assorted Nuts is a story of seven friends living under one roof they inherited from one of the character's granny. they all have different attitudes and views in life.. now my posts here is not something i copied from what's written on their banner but this is the way i'd like to describe them based on my reading the webcomics.. (now Nick, hopefully, if you ever get to read this.. don't sue me pls..)
oh by the way, Nick Barrameda is the talented artist who makes this wonderful comic strips.. i think he lives somewhere abroad.. i am not so sure though.. his accent is so thickly Western.. hah! as if i've heard it.. nah! just my observation. his strips seem to take place somewhere out of the country because in his Christmas issue, the storyline is like this, the Nick character (which i think is the cartoonified version of Nick B. the artist behind the comic) flew to the Philippines for the Christmas break and he brought the Ailyn and Hadrian characters along with him.. (haha!! introducing them as his wife and son while the two other characters, both not knowing how to speak Tagalog were wondering what the heck he meant when he said that to his mum.) the comic strip is obviously starred by people from different country, although i only know that Meagan is a Russian while Nick is a Filipino. i don't know with the others yet. but i'd know soon.. HAH!
here are some of my own description of the characters:

NICK- the one with blue hair. i think he is the cartoon representation of Nick Barrameda. he is the artist in the group. personally, i don't think he is a frustrated artist at all. one strip showed him painting something on a canvass and i think that was a nice painting. i'm just not sure if he was painting the outer space or the aliens or if it was purely abstract :). i also think he likes Dianne too but he wouldnt admit it. he is like "torpe". (sabi na nga kasing ayoko mag-English eh.. di ko alam kung anong English nyan..) FAVORITE STRIP SHOWING NICK: Karaoke Nights and Strawberry Blonde Blues.

AILYN- the team member with a very alarming high intelligence quotient. you would'nt want to mess with her as she has the capacity to put you under torture that will surely disable you for the rest of your life. FAVORITE STRIP: Ailyn's Graduation

ROSE MAYFLOWER- the super duper rich bonggacious member of the group. her family is tabooed because they supposedly changed the family motto from "Heirarchy, Domination and Supremacy" to "Elegance, Hardwork, Gorgeousness and Justice." she is as much vain as her mother. FAVORITE STRIP: whenever Georgia is in the picture.

JON- the guy with a very amazing hair (so amazing you could get lost inside.) he always suprises the team with his innocent stupidity or maybe it's just plain innocence. he is Nick's best buddy. FAVORITE STRIP: Karaoke Nights and Strawberry Blonde Blues

HEIDRIAN- he is the guy with the Naruto hair. he tends to be childish sometimes. Di is inlove with her and he si always on the run because of her. streetsmart and fun-loving, i can sometimes see myself in him.. (HAH! and when I took the quiz: Which Assorted Nuts Character are you most likely to get along with, he turned out to be the result!) FAVORITE STRIP: HEIDRIAN vs. ARVIN

MAEGAN- the lesbian joker. she is my favorite. maybe because i'm a bit tomboyish too and we have the same hobby of picking on others and laughing at their own expense, (evil grin) harhar! while she loves making fun of others, she also shows her "pikon" side sometimes. FAVORITE STRIP: all, haha!

DIANNE- a total hopeless romantic i say. she is always the one to stay calm. shows love and concern to her friends all the time. also likes Heidrian and a total Twilight fanatic. FAVORITE STRIP: Christmas Special: Dianne's Melancholy

now, those are the major characters. there are new characters being introduced every week. they add to the excitement. the plot already thickens and i am looking forward to read Meagan's life story too. i love the house and i've read Nick's answers to the comments one time that he is going to make a strip touring the readers around the team's house. it is very hi-tech.. as in hay-tetch talaga.. haha! mag-Tagalog nalang kaya ako..? dugong-dugo na ko eh.. hehe.. anyway, nakakalunggkot.. kasi nung una kong nabasa yung comic strips ng Assorted Nuts, nedyo marami nang naunang issues.. so next page nalang ako ng next page.. eh kaso mo, ngayon.. i have to wait na for about a few days bago ko mabasa yung susunod na strips.. OMG.. nakaka-excite.. at nakakabagot maghintay.. haha!! i'll have my friends read this webcomic. nakakatuwa kasi.. nakakatawa talaga.. yung mga gag at punchline, pinoy na pinoy pero may class. iba talaga ang angking galing ng mga noypi.. ewan ko ba kung bakit kasi mas marami ang mang-gagancho at manloloko, mga tiwali at pusakal kesa dun sa mga taong talagang ginagamit sa mabuti at kapaki-pakinabang na bagay yung mga telent nila. matalino naman ang mga pinoy eh. sa maling bagay nga lang nila naiisip gamitin. hay naku.. i love Philippines. I'm proud to be here. somtimes though, there are a few things that make me hide my face and just keep my mouth shut kapag kalokohan na nga mga pinoy ang usapan.. tsk! tsk! tsk! napansin ko lang ha.. mas mabilis ako mag-type pag Tagalog yung sinusulat ko.. kasi hindi na ko pahinto-hinto para magpunas ng ilong.. haha!! nosebleed?!?

HERE ARE THEIR AVATARS: left to right:
DIANNE, AILYN, NICK, HEIDRIAN, ROSE, MEAGAN and JON.

ANG LAPIS, BOW!

lead, kahoy na katawan at pambura sa dulo. yan ang different parts ng lapis. ginagamit ito sa pagsusulat. minsan pwede rin itong panaksak sa classmates, depende kung gaano katulis ang pagkakatasa mo. kahit anong maling sinulat mo, kayang kaya nitong burahin ngunit madiin ka man o marahan magsulat, may bakas pa ring maiiwan sa papel mo. iba't iba ang mga uri ng lapis. merong kulay itim na jumbo kung tawagin. merong mongol. minsan ang mongol ay hindi lang lapis, pwede ka ring tawaging mongol ng classmate mo kung pati pag gamit ng lapis, itatanong mo pa sa kanya. merong mga cartoonified na mga lapis. oha! kakaibang termino, cartoonified. hindi ko alam kung may salita talagang ganyan, pero narinig ko lang yan sa pinsan kong mongol. ang cartoonified pencils ay may iba't ibang desenyo ng mga kilalang cartoon sa mahaba nitong katawan. may hello kitty, disney princesses, mga naruto o kaya naman kerro kerropi. may scent ang mga pambura nito sa dulo o kaya naman kung medyo mayaman ka, pwede kang bumili ng cartoonified pencils na merong pamburang kahugis nung cartoon na naka drawing sa katawan nito na malamang na tinatawag na cartoonified eraser, oha?! merong mga magic pencil na pila-pila yung mga lead sa loob ng transparent nitong katawan. makikita mo kung ilan nalang yung pwede mong gamitin. hindi na kailangan matasa. magpapalit ka nalang ng bala. kaya lang, minsan, may daya ito. isang sulat mo palang, babaon na agad sa loob ng bala yung lead. hay naku. kung tanga ka at wala kang kadala-dala, malamang na nakaka-isang dosena ka ng ganito kada linggo. may mga lapis naman na ginagamit sa pag-drawing o kaya drafting. hindi ko masyadong alam kung ano ang description nito kasi hindi ako bumibili nito. ang mahal eh.


bakit ko ba idinescribe ang iba't ibang uri ng mga lapis? hindi ko alam. basta ang alam ko, lahat ng tao, parang lapis. ang buhay natin ang kwaderno. lahat ng bagay na ginagawa natin sa mundo, ay ang mga bagay na sinusulat natin dito. mabuti man o masama, ang lahat ng bagay na itinala natin sa ating kwaderno ay tatatak dito. subukan man nating burahin, sila ay magiiwan ng bakas. isang tanda na nagsasabing hindi malilimutan ng ating kapwa ang ating mga gawi mawala man tayo sa mundo. ang kwaderno ng ibang tao ay maaari nating guhitan ng ating sulat kamay. parang tayo na mga tao na humihipo sa puso ng iba. mariin man o marahan ang pagkakaguhit natin sa kwaderno nila, ang bahat guhit ay magiiwan ng bakas o anino ng ating sulat kamay sa kanilang kwaderno. tayo mismo ay tatatak sa kani-kanilang buhay at alaala.


ang korni ng mga sinasabi ko. pero totoo yan. ala kong naramdaman mo ang ibig kong sabihin at naiparating ko ang aking mensahe sa puso at isip mo. alam ko ring kahit ginagamit mong panghinunuli ang dulo ng lapis mo ay kinakagat-kagat mo pa rin ang pambura nito. hindi ba kadiri? yak.

IS ONDOY OVER?

What happened to our country recently definitely added a new mark in our history. This is so far since the last four decades, the strongest, mightiest thypoon we have faced. Ondoy left our country in a rubble, totally damaged and it so much looks impossible to renovate. It was so hard to think that in just 6 hours, a one-month amount of rain fell and took a lot of lives.

I was, at that time, fighting the current of the flood just to get my self to work. The flood reached my thigh and I was soaking wet all the way up. The rain pelting my skin hurt and I had no choice but to continue waddling through the waters because I could not turn back anymore. There are no ways of getting on a jeepney or taxi. I was scared because I could have gotten electrocuted by the water. The MRT for SLEX was under construction and wires were scattered on the pavement.  When I reached my office building, I was relieved, felt myself and was happy realizing that I was alive and safe. I finished work and got home. The flood, gone.

I saw on TV what happened in greater Manila. Makati and Marikina were so flooded. So are Pasig, Antipolo and Bulacan. A lot of lives had been taken and still a lot of people are missing. When the flood settled, a thick brown mud was left on the pavement. What was left with the people's things, houses and cars were just like toys dipped in mud. What was once the business center of the Philippines, Makati, became a swamp in six hours. It was such a horrible sight. It looked like doomsday. I remembered our trip to Bulacan. My daughter was so delighted seing the cows, horses and goats running and eating in the green feilds. Will we ever see them again the next time we go there? I remembered my brother, he lives in Pasig and all his important things were left there. So are his expensive clothes and shoes that he has earned for while he was working. The things he never had in his life when he was young. All gone.

I saw the video of people struggling to keep their children safe, themselves awake and ready, their families together. Those people who were hoping to be rescued, be given food if not rescued or atleast be seen on TV that they were safe, alive or in danger. It pains me in the heart to see these people asking for help but obviously, due to lack of facilities, they could not be. The least they could was to pray that they be helped, rescued and be put to safety. I felt sad and lucky at the same time. Atleast we never had to see the brown mud that the flood left. The flood I waddled into was just purely water and subsided right away after the rain. It did not reach even the floor of our house. I would like to thank God because we are all alive. My brother is safe and so as his family. They have evacuated right away.

 

PAG-ASA said that had the dropper radar arrived at first, they could have known how much rain Ondoy was to bring. They could have alarmed the people and told them to evacuate right away. But the dropper radar they have ordered abroad is still not being recieved. It's not their fault but still, the people could not help but put a blame on them. A new LPA had been seen approaching our area of responsibility. Will this be as strong as Ondoy? Or stronger? People have not fully recovered yet from what Ondoy had left, and now we are fearing yet another typhoon? Is this a reminder for us to take care of our nature moving forward? Is this a payback? If this is, will we ever learn? This is so much to bear. Let us help other people recover and stand up. Let us help them survive. This is not the time to show off. This is not the time to flaunt that you have donated 10 sacks of rice, 20 boxes of mineral water or 1 million pesos cash pledge. This is the time for prayer and unwavering faith. Let us pray for the people who have lost their lives and those who are still missing. Let us pray for the Earth. For the Philippines. For the whole world.
