RANT OF THE DAY
———————

I've been working on char designs for my two future projects:

"Mag-Isa" (Formerly "Kamay Ng Diyos"… had to rename it after 8 chapters of script completed… since its a more fitting title) and "ASKAL"… Its a challenge because these two comics are different genres. ASKAL being macho bullshit and MAG-ISA being drama queen land. :)

And I think I dont have the mental capacity anymore to design new characters. :( (you be the judge… I'll put em up tomorrow or during the next few days)

For non-Tagalog speakers, "Mag-Isa" is translated as "ALONE" or "by myself/himself/herself/yourself/themselves" depending on how its used in a sentence.

Root words: "Mag" - to be, and "Isa" - one. It doesnt translate as "to be one". To translate to "to be one", it should be magKAisa or magING isa.

lol… I know its confusing… but Tagalog is a difficult language to learn. Though I assure you that if a non-Tagalog speaker stays in the Philippines for 5 years, he/she can understand 80% of it and maybe speak gramatically incorrect (but understandable) Tagalog sentences.

We got alot of Korean and Chinese immigrants and they can pick up our language pretty fast. While I tried learning Korean and Chinese and its just hard for me to learn (embarrassing since I'm part Chinese!!! lol!!!)… :(



Anyway here's an interesting article I found…

Here's a quote from the article:

…Normally, an individual has sufficient self-esteem to survive most attacks, and has the ability to change or exit the situation. However, in situations where self-esteem is insufficient, persistent and severe attacks may reach the inner core of the soul, leading to the response of rage and violence.

Concomitant to such situations, is the physical and psychic pain which can be so overwhelming that the mind protects itself by automatically and unconsciously numbing itself, resulting in an individual that cannot feel. When the assault is extreme and inescapable, as may happen in child abuse, the result can be soul murder, leaving a sociopath, a physical body inhabited by a dead soul, a living machine that can kill or maim without feeling or remorse…
