Today was such a mess that I don't even know where to start with this. I'm suppose to start my paper for Lit. Crit. but you know well a formula called online+ym+multiply = futile staring at the computer. oh and don't forget strained eyes.

Just need to vent some rants, as I am not the kind who's so consumed with life's dramas and self-inflicted dramas that are totally unnecessary just to imply an "i'm miserable thus in deep trance and ponderings" appeal, i abhor such.

for the first part, i'll be answering QUESTIONS posted by the dear professor whose one-liners went stale already. although, he still manages to make me laugh occassionaly. just a note: i am answering in general because i can at least attest that i didn't commit most of the factors that he found problematic.

"1.bakit iba-iba ang size ng tabloid niyo?"

-basically because not everyone is accustomed to the software used in layout-ing the thing and that those guys from the printing shop cannot read and initially get what we have in mind and when the paper goes out of that machine whether it looked fine or not, there's no turning back. oh and you said "use A3" that was a little vague, our fault no one clarified the matter. if it's an A3 spread or A3 per page or should we use the tabloid settings or customize it? see 'till now i don't get it. keep your words man..

"2.bakit ang sama ng layout? puro THOMBSTONE?"
- because the sample was given on a short notice. no, not really. we were just too lazy and great that we decided to do it the night before the submission date or at least two nights before the deadline. and for pete's sake this is not lay-out class! this is a writing class and we are writers, supposedly, of SENSIBLE matters ,not a bunch of hullabaloos. maybe .01% percent of the class will end up as layout artists! go figure!

-and what the hell is with THOMBSTONE??? tombstone dear.. oh well pope said do not dwell in trivial faults bec. that is amateurish..

"3.bakit aalog-alog?"
-because we ran out of stupid things to say. enough said.

"4.bakit size 12-14 ang font?"
-same answer with number 3.

"5. nagpaalam ba kayo sa mga ginamit na tao? sa comic cartoonists?"
- first of all, i guess we were not stupid enough to make offending stories of people who would find it well...offending. we used people close to us (barkada circle) so who would sue us for slander or such and oh please making contact with the cartoonists is a waste of time and we were definitely struggling from time constraint. they might even ask for a royalty fee? i wouldn't pay such for a friggin tabloid that wouldn't even go in public?? duh? if you're thinking we're not taking the class seriously, then because it wasn't serious at all! a 3-unit course of nonesense that i could even figure ou by myself. actually, i already did one when i was like 10? and i got to sold it for 15 pesos each copy.

"6. bakit may 4,5,6 pages (na ads)"
-need i say more. people ran out of shits or just couldn't fathom another page of lies.

(to be continued...)

think happy thoughts!
