FLASHBACK 1: STRUGGLE!
November 28, 2009In order to fully understand the difinition of word struggle, we need to unlock the dificulty of that word by allowing me to give you the pronounciation of struggle.
Struggle was spoken by other people as:: estragol(matanda na hindi nakapag aral), strahol(ngongo), stragil(trying hard), straggul(no read no write) Whatever they say i dont care anyway.. haha..I know your struggling to know what i mean..inglis-inglis pa kasi tayo..
My point is I also have struggles in collecting comics for a decade now. Every week you witness how i handle hardship from different angles of my life.. This is a real life situation I encounter, and might be some of you can conclude at the end how fooly, fanatic, diehard I am to comics.. I’m going to tell you now my experiences on how to prioritize one thing to another.. on these case..I can give you some tips what to do if encounter this kind of struggle..
COMICS VS. FOOD
Before the real challenge begin allow me to tell you a little background on how my comiclab started:
Every month I buy new issues, trade paperback, or whatevery it is to be my collections. Often times, I encountered shortage of budget since I dont have income of my own and I’m just a student when i start collecting. For the courtesy of everybody, I started my collection carrer (daw sa piho e)in a very affordable comic price. Since the day i bought my first comic (X-men:In the Redzone) on year 1999 for only P5.00. My desire to follow the continuation of the story goes stronger and stronger to the fact that i really look for it in all of the stores here in Bacolod. To sum it up I completed the 35 issues of X-men published by Universal record including the other issues like Spider-man, Super-man, Batman, Spawn and more.. For only P5.00 each..
Now brace yourself for the real challenge of the week.. Hawak kamay! Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay. By Yeng Constantino ( a bit of trivial nmn mukhang sineryoso nyo na to ha.)
Ok! marami pa tayong palabor-labor jan. Back to the real challenge.
Starting then, my gift and my curse (as what Spider-man said) has just begun. My gift in a sense that thru comics I develop my artistry in drawing, sketching and reading habbit. My curse in ways that i am compromising things and die trying to have more and more comics from day to day. Till now i can’t even imagine I have this huge colections (as you can see here). WOW! kakapagod! hahahaha. I believe more comics in the near future.
Asus, hindi pa pala totoong challenge another palabor-labor rin pla yun! haha!
OK sorry po. eto na talaga.
I say struggle because of this passion often times i prefer to buy an issue rather than buy food for myself. There are many instance that I only have the money good for that day and an issue of particular comics came out. Then the struugle came in again and again.. (But before that, good evening!) Time and time again I compromise the food and prefer to buy comics..Hahaha.. Pardon me for that, Can’t help myself either..Huhuhuhu. Yun lang pala ang challenge pinahaba mo pa…
For the record, our first challenge winner is….
It’s obvious, anu ba kayo… syempre.. COMICS!!! yeeeheeeyyy!!!
Until then.. see you next week for the new challenger of a real life situation encountered by Gennel Ruben in his collecting carrer.. hahahaha.. (gin carrer ya gid man gali). Only see here from http://comiclab.i.ph
See you next week… bye guys..
