Maybe someday I can be as diligent as Rocky and <span style="font-weight: bold;">update my blog on a daily basis</span>, but for now I guess I can just aim for a weekly update. Updates can range from either short articles, rants, quickie fiction, or a comic update.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Question for the Week</span><br>In an attempt to add some level of interactivity with my readers, I will now also open the floor for a Question of the Week. Readers can email me questions they would like to ask me (tobito_abad AT yahoo DOT com) and each week I will choose a question or two to answer. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The questions can be about any topic, and I promise to answer the question one way or another. </span><br><br><font size="3"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">Many of my current readers might not be aware that this is merely a copy of the blogger version of my blog. <span style="font-weight: bold;">I will limit the article in Multiply to simply be a teaser of each blog post that gets published. </span>Here's hoping readers will eventually get used to visiting <a href="http://garapata.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">garapata.blogspot.com</span></a> instead to read my blog. Here's also hoping that readers would find my blog exciting enough to consider sending some tips (financial or advisory) my way. This should help me keep my writing edge sharp, my comic urges sated, and eventually (hopefully), my dreams of securing Sietch Creare a reality.</span><br></font><br>So yeah, here's to The Garapata Can Speak being given a much bigger voice.<br>Let's hope I don't embarrass myself (like in that picture above) in the process! <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18875274-5665487503524884801?l=g-komics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tobie Abadnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18875274.post-41624752013068932452009-10-19T18:14:00.000-07:002009-10-19T22:59:15.907-07:00<a href="http://tobieabad.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/4318"><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://tobieabad.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/4319"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.tobieabad.multiply.com/image/dfxO976BM+h2qO1e9lb6rw/photos/1M/300x300/4319/lastissue-sample2.jpg?et=%2CHFbuW0NXsOrfu7K0VhRdA&nmid=0" border="0"></a></span></a><span class="insertedphoto"></span>I will finish Diliman this year. <br><br>This is a declaration.

From what started out as an expedition using merely a rice cooker (thank yous to Eman and Apple for giving us their old one), we've finally progressed to getting a gas stove and learning the ropes on frying, creating soups, boiling and steaming stuff.<br><br>There was once this time in my life that I desperately wanted to learn to cook. <br><br>It all began when I caught a show on the telly one day and it was all about this thing called the <a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/jamies-ministry-of-food"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ministry of Food</span></a>. Hosted by Jamie Oliver, the show focused on a group of people whom he had taught to cook a simple yet succulent omelet then challenged them to find their own pupils to teach. Watching the show, I found myself relating so much to the people who lamented on how they have survived on junk food and microwaveable dinners for most of their lives since they left their parents' homes. As Jamie showed them how easy it was to actually prepare your own delicious and healthy cuisine, I found myself deeply inspired to do the same some day and promised myself that there will come a time when I too can cook my own breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner.<br><br>The move to Sietch Creare became a major catalyst in reaching for this elusive dream.<br>Having Rocky to be both supportive and a hearty devourer of both my hits and misses was a godsend.<br><br>While we searched for the flat we were to share, I shared with him my dreams of actually cooking and to my surprise, he too had such dreams. So we promised to each other that this was one joint dream we were to do and no matter how horrible our initial attempts may be, to always be supportive of the other.<br><br>From fresh salads and quirky ice cream desserts, I slowly attempted other things. One failed soup, burnt egg-in-a-basket, and a too asim bistek later, I am now officially excited to see what other things I can make and enjoy.<br><br>To my surprise, so many other friends were very supportive of our dream. Jon offered a skillet and gave us our first cookbook. Mina, Rocky's sister, offered more recipes as well. Pao at first offered an old gas stove for us to use, and until now excitedly checks on our updates on what new meal we cooked up. Then, there's Nina, Rej, Paul and other friends who have been very very supportive of each endeavor.<br><br>And true enough, as Rej had warned us, now we find ourselves looking at menus at restaurants and going, "Hmm I think we can just do this at home..." and "Oh, we have to make this... this was delicious!" rather than feeling too preoccupied with the idea of just eating out. The savings have been tremendous. The food, healthier.<br><br>Cooking is not as horrifying as I thought it would be.<br><br>So, to celebrate this new growing skill, we've compiled and will continue to update our food gallery to share with the rest of you what we've enjoyed doing and eating so far. Hopefully, someday, we even get to cook for more guests and give them a taste of our little preparations.<br><br>Cooking has been fantastic. And I only hope and pray we get more food options to try with each passing day.<br> <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18875274-4021621724928674147?l=g-komics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tobie Abadnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18875274.post-1153504535178080302006-07-21T10:54:00.000-07:002006-11-13T19:26:39.795-08:00<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Me As A Superhero -

I personally liked it considering how it spoke volumes about love only in a way few realised or considered important.<br /><p><br /><img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c167/g-komiks/lovenheartbreak/heart04.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /><br /><p><br /><img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c167/g-komiks/lovenheartbreak/heart05.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /><br /><p><br /><img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c167/g-komiks/lovenheartbreak/heart06.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /><br /><p><br /><img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c167/g-komiks/lovenheartbreak/heart07.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /><br /><p><br />Here's hoping I do more comics like these in the future!<br />Financiers?!?!

Sadly, there has not been any follow up to the first issue. In this indie comic, I tasked myself to come up with short Love stories without having to follow the usual touches on how Love is approached.<br /><br />This is the first two comics I made for it. <br />The first one (heart01.jpg)was a humorous conversation I recalled thinking about when a younger cousin of mine was once asking me about the birds and the bees. <br /><br /><img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c167/g-komiks/lovenheartbreak/heart01.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /><br /><br />The second (heart02.jpg) was something more of an ode to how I can be like when I fall in love. Few caught the tananananan to be the musical accompaniment from the song "I Feel Good" by James Brown.<br /><img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c167/g-komiks/lovenheartbreak/heart02.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18875274-113227431778370524?l=g-komics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tobie Abadnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18875274.post-1132115352077264692005-11-15T20:23:00.000-08:002006-11-13T19:26:36.383-08:00<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/garapata/nowthefunbegins.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"><BR>I did this piece way back as a one shot serious AIDS comic a few years ago when I was inspired greatly by <A HREF="http://carverhouse.blogspot.com/">Carlo Vergara</A>'s One Night in Purgatory comic.
