San Pablo City Blog

Di ko na gaanong na-uupdate itong blog na ito, pero gusto kong mag update ngayon kasi banas na banas na ako. Sobrang abuso na ang mga tricycle driver dito sa San Pablo. Nagtataas sila ng singil ng basta basta ng walang dahilan. Hindi lang yun, tila parang nagusap usap sila at sabay sabay sila nag taas.

Dati rati singil mula Jollibee Plaza papuntang lugar ng CM Azcarate Elementary School ay 20 pesos, ngayon biglang 25 na. Dati mula SPC Medical papuntang CM Azcarate 40 pesos (actually sa kabilang kalye pagkalampas ng 7-11 30 pesos lang), ngayon biglang 50 pesos na! Kahit sa kabilang kalye 50 pesos na rin!

Anak ng pucha naman... ano ba tingin nyo sa amin MAYAMAN? Kung mayaman kami edi sana NAGKOTSE na kami. Masyado na kayong ABUSO. OO. ABUSO. MANIGAS KAYO at ang singil ninyo, hindi na ako sasakay sa inyo. Magje-jeep na lang ako.

Sana lahat ng mga taga San Pablo na sumasakay ng public transpo ay iwasan na ring sumakay ng tricycle, pwera na lang kung suki nyo na at hindi kay inaabuso. Kung kaya nyo maglakad edi maglakad na lang kayo. Exercise pa yan.

Kelangan maturuan ng leksyon ang mga lintek na ganid na yan.

Saan ba pwedeng magreklamo? Magrereklamo talaga ako. Kung dati pinapalampas ko lang mga bagay na ganito, ngayon hindi na. SOBRA NA SILA. Kelangan may magsalita na. Kundi uulit ulitin lang nila yan.

UPDATE.

SHIT! Bad trip pala kung magrereklamo ka officially. Paghaharapin daw kayo ng tricycle driver. Ano sila, BALIW? Edi nakilala ako ng tricycle driver. At since hinatid ako sa bahay, ALAM NILA KUNG SAAN AKO NAKATIRA. E kung balikan ako ng mga gago na yan? Hindi ba naiisip ng mga opisyal yan? At saka hindi lang naman isa yang tricycle driver na umaabuso. MARAMI SILA. E kung lahat sila balikan ako? Bwisit. BWISIT TALAGA!!

San Pablo City is a featured location in one of my new comics stories entitled "SIM". It is an 8-page story that will be included in a comics anthology entitled UNDERPASS published by Summit. It will be launched this Sunday, October 18, 2009 at the 5th Annual Komikon: The Filipino Komiks Convention at the Megatrade Hall of the SM Megamall.

Here's a press release on UNDERPASS:

Set to launch this coming KOMIKON 2009 (October 18, Megatrade Hall 1, SM Megamall), Underpass is a graphic anthology featuring dark fantasy stories from some of today's greatest Pinoy comics creators.

Sim by Gerry Alanguilan
Judas Kiss by David Hontiveros, Budjette Tan and Oliver Pulumbarit
Katumbas by David Hontiveros and Ian Sta. Maria
The Clinic by Budjette Tan and Ka-jo Baldisimo.

The full-color anthology, which is Summit Media's first foray into Philippine-produced comics, will retail for P250. After the Komikon, Underpass will be available in major magazine shops.

"SIM" is only the latest in a series of short comics stories of mine that has San Pablo City as a featured location.

My first story, "San Dig, 1944", appeared in SIGLO: FREEDOM in 2002, and it had Sta. Catalina/San Dig as a featured location. It was even translated into Croatian in 2007.

The second story, "San Pablo, 1978" appeared in SIGLO: PASSION in 2004, and it featured Lake Pandin as a location.



A launching was held at Fully Booked, Greenhills in 2005.

A lot of my future stories are also set in San Pablo. I guess I just can't help it. It's part of my blood.

(UPDATE) Donations are accepted in all 7-Eleven branches nationwide 24/7.

Nag grocery ako sa Ultimart kahapon. Parang na depress ata ako. Kasi konti na lang ang taong bumibili, parang madilim, isang hilerang freezer ang walang laman, wala ring laman yung fresh meat, parang amoy luma... parang nakakalungkot.

Parang nung isang taon lang siksikan ang tao dito at ang hahaba ng pila. Nagrereklamo pa ang ibang tao na konti lang ang cashier na bukas. And to think na Linggo kahapon. Usually maraming tao ang namimili dito pag linggo. Kahapon, parang mga lima lang kami doon.

Asan ang mga tao? Andun sa PUREGOLD.

Tama ang kutob ko na tatamaan ang ilang business sa bayan ng dahil sa Puregold. At ang isa sa mga kutob kong maaapektuhan ay Ultimart. Sayang din kasi OK para sa akin mag grocery dun. Marami rin kasi silang mga sosyal na bilihin doon na gusto kong bilhin pag may konting pera ako.

Tulad ng Salmon. Wala sa Puregold nyan. Tulad ng Nestle Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix. Wala sa Puregold nyan. Yung ilang mga imported na bagay tulad ng Muesli, mga de lata... wala sa Puregold nyan.

Tama ang ginagawa ng Ultimart na mag renovate sila. Yun din ang naisip ko noon bilang isa sa mga pwede nilang gawin para tapatan ang Puregold. Pero sana meron silang regular maintenance. At dapat maliwanang. Yang mga simpleng bagay na ganyan ang hanap ng tao e. Malinis. Maliwanag. Malinis ang CR at well maintained.

Pano na pag nagka SM na? Balita ko magkaka SM sa Riverina next year. Lalo nang malilintikan ang Ultimart... pati na rin Puregold.

Ito, may bidjo ako ng pamimili ko sa ULTIMART noong 2006.
