Your Birthdate: April 1 |
Your birthday suggests that are executive ability and leadership qualities in your makeup. A birthday on day 1 of any month gives a measure of will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach. This 1 energy may diminish your ability and desire to handle details, preferring instead to paint with a broad brush. You may be sensitive, but your feelings stay rather repressed. |

WHAT DOES YOUR BIRTHDATE MEANS
Wednesday, July 27, 2005
Hi, I'm Gilbert Monsanto and I'm a COMICS ADDICT:)
Addicted to COMICS, as in comicbooks.
This just came to me when I entered Druid's Keep to finally get our latest fix of comic book issues. I was a bit shaky, the aircon was not too cold. I guess its been a while since I got a hold of a comicbook, been working on them for a long while now. Being a comic book illustrator professionally for 15 years now. But I have been a comic addict since I was a kid. Although I can't always afford to buy my own copies back then, I can always go to my cousin to read his comics there or go to National Bookstore to browse.
I can't categorize myself as a collector either, I've always believed that the only way to truly enjoy an issue is by reading them over and over again. My wife's collections are near mint, mine on the other hand, ain't.
So, when can I say it all started? What is the farthest memory can you recall as a kid? I always claim that it was a red thing, like I was in womb or something. But as far as I can recall, the most memorable one? would be a green skinned monster called hulk. I can't read then, I was too young. My big brother George mentions all the names and I would memorize the logo. So the sound hulk translate into H U L K the image, because I can see those letters on the cover.
I would sneak out an issue from Kuya George's box and read them in our attic, if you can call a room near the entrance to our three storey small building/home roof an attic. For sure I can't understand the words written but I sure can understand each and every images drawn inside ever panel. The army wants hulk but Hulk SMASH!!! This is my first encounter with story telling. It got me hooked and my brother angry when he found out I was reading his precious books :)

The day I became FEMALE!
What the Fu-! I went with my Father in-law to NKTI in Quezon City last week to get some medical tests. The usual things like x-ray, blood and urine tests. Because I was new and have no previous records there, I need to get the pink card and register. I have not eaten for 12 hours by then but I know I was not whoozy or anything to make a mistake. So, we got the test results by Friday. When I got the print out of the results, it says there that my gender was female! Argh! What? a female went ahead to check if her prostate was okay? Damn that lady clerk who put down on their main computer my false gender. So, I went there and have my information changed, another guy changed it for me. But these tests that are already printed? well, I'll just ignore them I guess.
They got my name right this time, but I became female for a day this time around.
What's next? Aaargh!

ALAGAD INC.
This is an ad for Alagad Inc., I hope I can find a way to publish this soon. I am restraining to showcase the pages online. Kriss Sison is now busy doing pages for Seven Seas. I hope I can still afford him, if he'll be able to continue issue 2 for me. I was able to color the 5 pages already before Atlas pulled the plug on ATX and RAM, I decided to wait a little longer for a better time to put this project out, hopefully with a better publisher.
