At Last... KOMIKS!

Finally!!!

My sister went home last Monday with two of my most-awaited KOMIKS! I was only half-glad though because I was really hoping for the first editions. I got hold of FUNNY KOMIKS and KLASIK KOMIKS, their third series, volume 1.

The cover was glossy but the pages inside are still the same; it still does its wonder of getting the inks on your fingers as you leaf through the pages. The inside front and back gets the advertisements as usual, as well as the back cover. But everything I think is the same.

I am not really aware of the stories yet. I have been suffering from dizziness since Sunday morning and couldn't keep up with my reading and blogging. I'm a little bit okay at this point. I've started to compile and outline my project essay, and a little dizziness on the side which is perfectly manageable. But I have to rest now and then, role my eyes as if an expression of disgust, to make sure that it doesn't climb to the next level.

Since I'm preoccupied (notice I didn't say busy… I hate that word, actually.) with the project I am on these days, I'll leave you with a glimpse of what you'll find inside.

The funny thing came when I started reading. I laid down on the couch assuming the best position and expecting a marathon. I started with the first page, setting aside the fact that I have no idea what happened previously. I was done on the first story, which is again, to be continued and was beginning with the second story. I dozed off. LOL! Later that night, it was my sister's turn. She, too, sets off with the best lying position. She started with the other one that I chose to read for later. She hasn't even finish reading the first story and she, too, fell asleep.

I realize that this might be a better solution than any of those sleeping tips.... LOL! I guess I'd spare the rest of the pages for those times that sleep seems to evade me.

Internet Friday

Yesterday. The day was again conducive to slumber; I procrastinated instead. No need to hurry since I don't have much to do today. The show on t.v. was entertaining that it glued me on my seat for a little while.

Off I go. I got there and not found my favorite seat; near the wall and the socket for my Ace. I, instead took a seat in the middle and as usual, the very accommodating attendant assisted me in setting up. He was unusually helpful today; but so as with other days, I said to myself.

When I opened the cover/monitor of my laptop, you wouldn't believe what I saw… I felt as if all my hair on top of my head was gathered in one ponytail and hanged me by it! And I said, "Naisahan na naman ako ng kapatid ko!!!" and laughed out loud! And laughed out loud longer!

See, this is a prank that started years ago. She'll cut out the most popular figure/name/group/whatever during that time, and paste it concealed on one of my things, particularly the one that I'd be using for that trip/errand. She has her way of making sure that she does it when I am not anymore going to touch it; well, I choose to think that she chooses the time that I've already organized everything and was just taking a bath and get ready. Then, she'll just wait until I get home to tell her what happened and what time I discovered her crime.

The first time it happened, it was discreet. She pasted a picture of the group "Moffats" on the inside side of my closet's door. It was early morning before work that I discovered it and laughed out loud.

The next thing that I remembered (since it's either I forgot the other incidents or no crimes were committed at that time) was when I was dealing with my documents/papers before I left for Dubai. It was campaign times and she again, concealed one of the images of a candidate for vice-governorship for our province, slipped it in the backside of the plastic envelope I bring with me.

I am having laughs every time this happens. This has been always too funny to activate my irkness. It's just a plain prank that we both enjoyed; that my nephews enjoyed, too, when they were still living with us.
