MOSTLY NOTHING: Doom 2















Read from the bottom up.

MOSTLY NOTHING: Doom 1









Read from the bottom up.

MOSTLY NOTHING

I'd attempted to do a comic book way back in 1993. MOSTLY NOTHING came out, much like a bastard child.
I'll post one of the stories in the book here. Enjoy!

Rex Mundi Chronicles

One of the hidden symbols (of power) in Messiah 666.

The "beast" is yet to come.

Hard Choices

So, which Rasheed do you like? (If you like one at all).
Don't be shy now.

Huh? Another big joke...

Try this one:
What you do not know can't harm you. So, stay ignorant.
But you're one who values knowledge, so you seek the truth. It bites: the truth will not always set you free.
Ei? It's better to die knowing?

Get hold of MESSIAH 666. (Check link here on blog list).

Basketball's G.O.A.T.

I've always sported number 9 for as long as I remember. It's my tribute to the greatest PBA player of all time I supposed. For those slow to catch the ball, I'll spell the name out - SAMBOY LIM.I've made it my number. And though I've never posted career high numbers like the G.O.A.T did - nor even averaged closed to 9 - I'm just as proud and had my highs.

To paraphrase the losers who went to my defense, it's not winning or losing but how one plays the game.

Yeah, right!

It's the end of the world as we know it

If what I've posted here so far doesn't pique your interest, this one's for you!

Early Doodles












These are some of my early sketches for Messiah 666. Rest assured, the "beast" is yet to come.

Pacquiao for President

The fake president, GMA, had set the bar at an all-time low. Ordinary Filipino's looking out for the common good could now be considered superheroes.
It's dire straits in the Philippines.
And like what most of the opponents of the mega famous Gensan pugilist the Pacmonster shout to deaf heaven, the Filipinos echo the same sentiment: "When will the hurting stop?"

But when "Garci" is god, that might be asking for too much.

"Ang Batangueno"


Mga kapatid sa pananampalataya, heto ang isang handog ng inyong lingkod sa katutubong dila!
Sundan ang pakikipagsapalaran ng ating bida sa "Ang Batangueno".

Ang Batangueno (Part 1)





“Don’t talk to me. Talk to my Lawyer”, paangas na sabi ni Abheng kay Berto.

“Kayabang ga nire. Tagalugin mo nga at nakakabanas ka! Pagbilhan mo na nga ng suka at toyo yan Ate Elsa at mukhang nalipasan na ng gutom. Kita mo’t pa-english english pa!”

“Mahiya ka sa balat mo!”, ganti ni Abheng sabay tingin sa tabihan. “Pagsabihan mo nga ang unggoy na kasama mo Khaled. Bakit kasi pinakawalan mo sa zoo”.

Matipid na ngiti ang tugon ng binatilyo sabay puna sa kasamahan, “Tama na yan Pre. Kunin mo na yung bola at naghihintay na sila sa plaza”

“Shampoo nga po Aling Elsa, Ayyyy……”

Tumigil naman si Berto na ngayon ay parang estatwa sa pagkakatayo nya. Alam ni Khaled na kahit na sumunod sa kanya ang kasamahan ay walang koneksyon ang inasta nito sa pagsaway nya. Sinundan nya ang tinutumbok ng mata ng kaibigan at nakita nyang nakapako ang tingin nito sa dibdib ni Abheng.

Paano ba nama’y yumuko ang dalagita para pulutin ang nalaglag na mga barya. At kahit nga siguro sinong santo o diablo ay mapapatda sa kagandahan ng tanawin na nakaumang sa kanila. Si Khaled man ay natigilan din dahil kung tutuusin ay mas maganda ang pagkakapwesto nya. Sabi nga ay di lamang kaluluwa ang nakahain dahil pati kuyukot ay kita nya. At sa totoong pinagpala, labis-labis ang grasya ni Abheng na umaapaw sa sando at short pants na suot nya.

Pag diwata ang kaharap ay sadya nga yatang kaytagal ng sandaling pagkalingat, kahit pa nga sabihin na si Khaled ay nakabawi din agad. Humarang syang bigla sa harapan ng nabato-balaning si Berto. Akmang yuyuko sya ng biglang nag-angat ng mukha ang dalagita. Napaurong syang bigla na nagtulak naman upang mawala sa panimbang si Bertong nasa likuran nya. Kamuntik ng matumba si berto kung di sya napatukod sa may pintuan.

Nagtama ang mga mata ni Abheng at Khaled at ang mundo’y sandaling uminog para sa kanilang dalawa lamang. Ang binatilyo ang unang nagbawi ng titig nya at kaagad namang nagbayad na ang dalagita. Dagli at walang paglingon namang inabot ng balo ang pera dahil ayaw maabala sa telenobelang pinapanood nya.

Walang kupas ang pagkamanyakis ni Berto na habol ang tingin sa umalis na dalagita. Si Khaled naman na palihim na tumitingin ay di nagpahalata. Tinapik na lamang nya ang kumag pagkahuma.

“Sige na, kunin mo na ang bola!” at tumalima si Berto.

Napatingin sa pintuan si Khaled kung saan tumuon ang kaibigan nya. Bakat pa sa lumang poster ni Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo ang kamay nito. Hindi naalis ang madikit na poster ng mukha ni GMA. Hindi rin nabawasan ni katiting ang ngisi nito sa kabila ng pamamawis ng kamay ni Berto.

“Tara na!” Kasabay ng pagtalbog ng bola ay nabasag ang pagmumuni-muni nya.

Floyd Mayweather's YouTube Disgrace


I won't post the link, because the publisher likes to keep it clean here, but you'll be able to find it easily.

Don't bother with that story. Instead check out MESSIAH 666 at:
www.godspark666.blogspot.com

Once in paper, it's the thing to beat pound for pound.

Not even Pacquiao could top that.

Go now and "multiply" - all pun intended.

Conrado de Quiros, Shrek and My Book



On VISIONS AND REVISIONS appearing in There’s the rub by the great Conrado de Quiros, I’ve sent a feedback to INQ7 (which I don’t know if INQ7 published). I’ve reprinted it below just the same:

The words of Conrado de Quiros have always been either spot on or prophetic. His lines are exquisite – using such precise descriptive words to an utter ugliness that it just comes out beautiful. I suggest Imelda to use the wordings on the particular column as an epitaph.

The Arroyo comparison also made me thinking. Revision being the key word, the fake president could learn from the movie Shrek. They made such a nice job to portray a lovable ogre. I reckon it would be easier if they do it on a dwarf.

That makes the dream of an enchanted kingdom not really so “Far, Far Away.”

On a different note but equally important, I’ve got a response recently for my MESSIAH666 book (from a publisher) which goes:

Dear Mr. Rasheed,

We regret to inform you that we cannot facilitate to print and publish your book due to conflicts and issues that might arise because of the illustrations and wordings in your book.

We are hoping for your understanding regarding this matter. We are just protecting our company to possible controversy that might happen if we pursue accepting your book.

Thank You.

Sincerely yours,

(The Publisher)

Another stumbling block on the road to greatness…

Or must I remain a voice in the wilderness?

It’s another way of saying that my book coming out is also “Far, Far Away.”

Messiah 666: The Book Mythos


The Aswang is not quite what you thought it to be. Our ancestors have never been so wrong. But perhaps, that is how things were really intended to be.

Get the book now and get to know "him" better!
