How many Justines do you KNOW ? I hate it when people misspell my name. Its so annoying and it gets really old after a while. Even when I correct them they still get it wrong. When i think about it HOW many JUSTINES do these people know WHO ARE GUYS!!! Its fucking insane. There is Justin Timberlake, Justin Long, Justinian, Justin I, Saint Justin, Etc etc. WTF there are SO many justins and its so easy to spell without the extra E why the FUCK people get this wrong. At times its about sophistication and Philippine colonial mentality: adding an "E" makes it special. WTF? You see Timberlake on the billboards, you have a lot of guys with that name, and I feel my name is pretty common already. How the heck can people keep getting this wrong? Do I have to say, JustIN without an E; Like JUST-IN time.

Democracy at Work. At least in China they execute corrupt officials. There should be a holiday: Anti-Corruption Day in the philippines to generate awareness.

the host . loved it, so well made but the dubbing can make you throw a fit. Its dubbed soooooooo poorly you might think its one big joke. Why not filipino dubbers!? WHY!? Good news . My previous docto,r who I feel is ripping me off. Because from a P500 fee just last year for through the year, to a P660 this year last march and P850 just last friday for 2 min consultations and waiting for him at times even though his sched is starts as early as 9. Anyway, one of my players who is a friend happens to be a gastronomic specialist and actually gave me a free consultation. I'd happily give him my money because I know he's professional about his work and I know him well enough to know I'm getting my money's worth. Badnews . I may have to take Entecavir indefinitely, my new doctor is double checking on it. It sucks cause I don't think i can ever make enough money to afford it own my own and have enough for BASIC cost of living :( Its nice that he told me the bad news early

running a sci-fi game . It may be just the fever talking but I'm considering a GURPS Traveler Game when I end my Fall of Constantinople Adventure. I had many mistakes in my previous firefly game and have learned alot from it not to mention that I'm now better equipt to run such a game. Although, I'm still better equipt at running low tech games because of my large... on the old firefly game, It boiled down to just two players... which is actually ok for me. And I actually would continue it If I still had the notes... its just pretty anti-climactic to end the way it did. Again, I know my mistakes and ending such a way was because I put too much into it and expecting too much. Now that I'm more mellowed out I can run it again if I find the players who are interested.

Feverish dreams . this happens when I'm sick and it really sucks. Basically all the bad juju that i try to forget resurface and give me nightmares when i'm sick. Really strong vivid white knuckled dreams that leave me woozy. Right now I could barely stand upright and my insides feel week and tire very quickly as i put effort on them. I'm also out of focus. I hate being sick, its my body and mind taking the day off with whatever's left unable to do anything about it. Its my first fever and the year and it happens when i've been pessimistic about the country lately. I have a good view of the city and I've been looking at the housing developments with no pleasure. In light of recent events (the scandals and corruption taken to new heights by the current administration) i feel the only person who can actually do something is already behind bars. Strangely the most powerful force of change is a lesser evil: Erap. At least when he plunder he just took $90M of the cou

Go to the Doctor . at Friday to show him my results Go to the Kidney Institute . In Quezon for my test results Go to Pasay . For my "swerving" violation. Go to UP or La Salle . To bind some books And I have work work work today. and after work i have to... write Character Guidelines Fix my print outs edit my Templates (for future articles) edit my Card Game System Cover some books in cellophane email Some templates (helping out a player) Write a Recap of my games Write up my GM reflections etc. busy busy busy Sunday . Went Ice Skating... lessons learned: weight forward, and default roller skating skill, Lesson not learned: how to stop (Balance basically) Charity . Looking at the country today Act of Random Kindness is one aspect of helping to build a better society. Crime, on the other hand, is merely a symptom of society's problem and to make a lasting positive effect in it is a small degree of prevention and a large dose of change in society... an understanding that le

Playtest . The card game has a few bugs, One is the Losses . It needs to be easier to calculate. Two is the Ranged Attack Defense , I learned that Shields are SQUAT protection against firearms and crossbows. Three . Better grades of protection. Reducing losses by half and the rest are modifies the margin of loss. And If there is an easier way to explain something, I should find it. Got a medical test, have to wait 4 days for the result. Hope I'm ok.

Meds . I'll get a test on sat promise. Comic . Timing of the rain and procrastination. Although part of the procastination was fixing the printer which I figured out. It runs like brand new now... tempting me to print out more stuff... but what??? Game Tomorrow . I have a feeling bobby can make it this time, Benj is still pushing through even though I know he's really busy and has work the next day. Those are the little things that matter to me. I guess I can be oversensitive as a GM but it helps when I notice positive things. It helps me get my game prep and ready. I started with 3 and now I'll be running for Nel, Gilbert, Nikos, Benj, Joseph, Henry, and Bobby. I'm happy at the growth and count my blessings. I wish there was more of me to run games but taxing myself too much helps no one. Games starts at 8 (because everyone works) but ends at 11-1, depending on the size of the group. The bigger the group the earlier we end (because the faster I'm exhausted). I'

A lot of work . Its like having a script writer and the artist living in the same body. Both have different expectations and compromise is very difficult as they both have strong voices. I like my story, but as an artist I have my limits and my objectives. I wish I can drink to calm my nerves... I wish i had a driver to drive me to my medical appointments... I wish I didn't have medical appointments to worry about. I wish i had the energy to work out... alot of problems at the same time.. but alot of things to look forward to. I can do this comic. there is no doubt about it. Its just the quality of it that scares the shit out of me. I know what it takes for a good comic... i just don't know if the artist in me can do it in the given time. Then there is my positive outlook that needs a game every fridaynight. Without prep and a good game my morale suffers. Balancing all of it is hard work, but to master the balance is something to look forward to. I can do it. I'm not that d

My article . Thomas said be prepared to Butcher your baby. I went ahead and butchered it already despite my wife's approval of it's previous draft. I looked at it hard and did my best to cut the word count without being too vague. Knowing it will take around three months before I will know if it sold I didn't have the patience of getting it read again. I just need to move on as quickly as possible. Reading their requirements made me so nervous because I'm not a writer. Even as an artist they rejected me when I felt like drew better than their regular artist and asked for way less, all these complications just filled my head and made me feel weak. Anyway I have to move on. I may not get it, but at least I've done something I've set out to do and not in any way half-assed. If it gets rejected I'll post the long version here. I was pretty proud of it in a technical and historical point of view. Writing it felt good because I really knew what I was talking a

Printing out some cards , already i see some problems with the system. Still the system is robust and original. Having printed out Dan Howard's and Dave Steele's armor articles I can better equip the units because every pound counts. Well, did alot of work and got alot done, its time for a break.

I guess, what's left is the editing . Finished the article and trying to give my mind a stretch. I feel good and want to reward myself cheaply (EXPENSIVE KOREAN INSTANT). Anyway, its all done and all these fears about them turning me down because of my race started jumping to mind. It is a Texas Based company after all and I'm not the only one who sense the subtle racial views. Other than that I hope those fears are unfounded. Anyway, I have alot of history buff friends who play gurps who may give their opinion on my work. Technically its 3000 words, but I won't count the templates. Making it about 2000 words. Since the minimum is 2000 and the maximum is 5000, I hope I get in. I pray nothing bad happens like computer malfunction or whatever. Something like this doesn't happen often :(. Well I hope it does from now on.

Card Game . The system is done and playable its just that I want to make a balanced set of rules to determine resources to purchase units. Just finish that, i was working on it since yesterday and I am finally content with it. It makes sense and not that abusable. Support Units is based on TL3 where 1 = $140. It is based on 1/4 the Cost of Living which can be attributed to militant servants. Typically only very powerful characters can afford small armies (at least Multimillionaire), then there are the affects of Ranks to Status which I should consider, then there are societies that don't function in rank instead they use Status (caste systems and very early Ancient military organizations). Anyway, its all done and good. It makes sense and works the way it should. there is no reason to break it because its really the GM handling it and it is basically building tools for purchasing squads, platoons, companies etc. of either levies, militia, irregulars, regulars, seasoned, crack, vete

Card Sample . Been working on this thing lately. Its pretty simple basically. A player can make his own units that allow him to decide the outcome of mass combat. The system is an extension and doesn't conflict (infact in enhances) GURPS RPG rules. Since the Players are not anymore in an ambigous mass combat system that takes advantage of his many other skills that are very important to Leaders but does not have many uses in a micro style of play. I'm done with the first draft of the system and just finishing up the army creation rules. Its playable already and from the small tests in the games I've been running it looks really good. Affirmation . Well I don't suck in GMing. I've been told so and I've found a group that jives well with my style. I can't peg my style down but If you had second thoughts about history this group will change you mind. Its really different to play historical and when I read up on material I don't feel guilty knowing so much a
