I'm Back
Just like a much-awaited sequel to a great movie;
like Aahnold in Terminator 2 with his shades, shotgun, thick accent, and emotionless face all set to say and make “Asta La Vista Baby” to the evil T-1000 cyborg,
like Freddy Krueger who remains as everyone’s nightmare in every Nightmare on Elm Street movie just when you thought he was defeated in the previous one,
like the bad-ass Aliens who are just one bad species that can’t be obliterated no matter how hard Ripley tries,
like Don Michael Corleone who just keeps on killing and making a Mafia hit in every movie installment of The Godfather,
like the all the heroes in Two Towers and Return of the King in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy becoming better fighters and characters as they wend towards the end of their quest,
like Neo being reloaded and revolutionizing the machine-ruled world in the two Matrix sequels,
like Darth Vader and his empire striking back or Luke Skywalker returning as a Jedi in the Star Wars saga,
I’M BACK (!!!)… in the Blogging World!!!
And boy, it sure makes me feel good!
Just like what great sequels do.
May the force be with you.

New Article for www.inq7.net
Hello again, blogging people of the world. I'm sorry, real sorry for being out of the blogging scene for quite awhile now. (I'm not sure if people did miss me for compared to other bloggers like my friends
Dean Francis Reyes Alfar,
Nikki Go-Alfar,
Jo Disini, and
Joey Alarilla, I don't get too many visitors in my site. That is a bit of a personal plea, hehehe. But that will change soon once my friend Nikki helps me in giving my site a new look -- a look that is totally me, totally Quay. So you all should watch out for it). So many things have happened to me in the past few weeks, and months even, that I haven't had the time and chance to really sit down, put my act together, and turn all my thoughts in writing. But once I get the chance, I promise to pour all of them in one sitting. I hope it is this weekend... I hope, I hope.
So, while I am still trying to finish a couple of entries about why I have been busy and all the eventful things that transpired in my life from July up to now, kindly check out my
latest article in
www.inq7.net about my Filipino photographers' club here in Dubai, UAE. Sad to say, this is going to be one of my last few entries for my best friend and kumpare Joey Alarilla because I am finalizing my papers with ABS-CBN TFC Middle East to work for the Lopez clan. Yes, you read it right! I am going to work in Channel 2's Middle East branch of operations here (after some terrible months of being out of a full-time job) as a graphic artist, photographer, correspondent, and writer among other things. Actually, I have started working for them the other week but my work visa is still with my former employer so legally and technically I am still not their employee. That gives me some more time and leeway to contribute articles to Joey. But don't worry, once I can no longer contribute to
www.inq7.net, I will still put the articles I plan to give to Joey in my blogsite.
And of course that doesn't mean my friendship with my best pal will end. As
Joey said, "Our companies may be rivals, we will always be best friends."
True, true, true.
Till next time, enjoy reading. As McArthur once said, "I shall return."
Or better yet, let's quote Aahnold -- "I'll be back!"
