Thesis anyone?..an interview:Freedom Pad Zine

2006-02-21T09:27:00.000+07:00

1. What is your definition of zines?

An independent, do-it-yourself publication with little or no budget at all. Could be about anything the writer/s want to write (whut). IMO, may be considered an ancestor of blogging. Might have started during the punk movement in the UK during the early 80’s but I could be totally wrong about this. I think it would be best if you try to google for a definition or look it up at Wikipedia or something. Sorry, tamad eh.

2. When did you release your first zine?

End of third year high school. Report card distribution day.

3. Who/ What influenced you to make a zine?

Started out as an underground spoof paper in high school. Our official school paper sucked and was mostly made up of goody-goody suck-ups who have little or no literary talent whatsoever (Uy, may galit). It was probably decent enough for a school paper but one day we found a copy of the Collegian’s annual spoof newspaper. Loved it and thought it would be fun to do something like that. To write jokes about the teachers we hate, complain about the nuns who run the school and rant about draining our parents’ money with their fundraising projects. Of course, we also make fun of the classmates we hate. In writing.
I don’t remember how we met the staff of the Rock ‘n Rhythm magazine (am not sure if you’re familiar with this, it’s basically a songhits with album & concert reviews plus some really interesting columns) but we did, through Wendi (w.r.i.n.g.), I think. Or it could’ve been through Marge who did the Dear Mug column. Anyway, she brought us to the RnR office and we met some of the other staff. We learned the entire concept of a fanzine from them and found out that each of them made their own zines. We went to some of their band’s gigs and visited their office about a couple of times. They were really nice, fascinating people and we always went home with free copies of their zines. Most of them are really good writers and the zines were fun to read. They thought it was pretty interesting that we started out young and went out of their way to encourage us to continue writing.

4. How many issues have you released?

About 6.

5. How often do you publish your zine?

Once a year. There were times when we released two issues simultaneously if we’ve written a lot..

6. How do you determine the form and content of your zine?

We don’t really do that. As long as we have articles/pictures to post, we compile them and arrange the layout etc accordingly. We never decided to stick to a particular theme in every issue. If there was a case when the articles we printed had geared toward some form of theme, that would’ve been purely coincidental.

7. In making zines, how important is the layout design?

It is important that we also show our creativity through the way we present our articles and the graphics we decide to include in every issue.

8. How do you maintain balance and objectivity in the topics presented in your zine?

Let’s just say that there are almost no attempts to do that. Our zine is personal and it is up to the writers to do that for themselves if they deem it necessary. Apart from the ones we made up, we never feature news items.

9. Do you also conduct research before writing your articles?

Not really. As I’ve said earlier, it all depends on the writer.

10. How important is the professional background in publishing zines?

It isn’t. Anyone who can write (even if they don’t write well) may do so.

11. How do you verify the information that you get?

We don’t.

12. Do you set certain standards in relation to zine production?

Only one basic standard: if we want to print something, then we will.

13. How do you advertise your zine?

Usually through word of mouth, and sometimes other people are kind enough to lend us some space on their zines.

14. Where do you usually distribute your zine?

School, initially. We tried to sell our last issues at Just Say Rock shop (I don’t think this still exists) in Cartimar once but we never came back to collect on our sales if there ever were any for no reason at all. We also sent copies of our zines via mail to those who saw our ads in other zines.

15. How do you determine the price of your zine>

Uhmm, production costs and standard price of other zines..

16. Do you consider zines as a good communication tool?

Yes.

17. Do you consider zines as good and reliable sources of information?

No. This isn’t exactly journalism.

18. Do you have a specific target audience?

None.

19. Do you consider zines as part of the press?

Yes, although they belong to the informal part.

20. What is/are the impact/impacts of zines to the Philippine press?

I’m not sure if I can answer that. It’s just another means for other people who are not part of THE Philippine press to print their writing by themselves without going through the formal/proper channels. It’s also another means for people to read about things that are not normally found in the mainstream. I guess the only impact I can think of is the existence of actually having something else to read.

21. How do zines promote freedom of _expression?

The non-existence of any regulatory body to interfere with the content. The option of anonymity for its writers/creators. Writing without the need to consider the consequences of what was written. Writing with your/no rules.

22. How do you address the copyright issues?

We don’t. We don’t copyright our work but we are ethical enough to acknowledge our sources if we do have them

23. What is/are the difference/differences of zines from other mainstream publications?

It’s not mainstream. It’s like an alternative press. Anything goes.

That’s it.

Lintik!

"Entering a Crime"

2005-12-13T10:39:00.000+07:00

What happened?
It seems you lost my track?
Have you decided to move back?
And have realized?

Days kept moving,
Your shadow starts disappearing.
Not even a glimpse.

My days are miserable
I hate you!

You came so fast,
And now you’re moving out!
I believe this is not the time…
The time to leave me!

STAY WITH ME,
IN A little MORE WHILE...
BE WITH ME,
PLEASE COME BACK!

Deary Weary Diary (chapter two)

2005-12-12T14:06:00.000+07:00

Dear Diary,

For awhile...
I tried to sneak out. (hmm, ‘miz the old days, the old me).
Can’t wait to see you.
Can't wait to talk to you.
Can't wait to touch you.

That while...
Takes me away to reality,
Move me in my dreams...
I plea not to wake.
I insist not to see the fading light in the tunnel.
Gloomy and Stormy...

Deary Weary Diary

2005-12-08T14:51:00.000+07:00

Dear Diary,

I am in a situation I cannot control. Situations I can't take off my mind, my hub. I am scared of this situation. But I can’t stop the situation.
The situation is falling…
A falling sensation I should never fell into. But the feeling is superb. But the outcome is grief.

So many paths to go through, why in my way?
I wished I met you before I passed through that light tunnel. But I guess that was my fate, now you are my fate. But only for a short lived.

World Balance

2005-07-20T02:32:00.000+07:00

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.

He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael, Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?".

"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealthy people but cold and harsh .......while southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and pleasant."

"I have made some lands abundant in water and other lands parched deserts." "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a group of islands and said, "What are those?"

"Ah," said God. "That's the Philippines, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains and forests. The people from the Philippines are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving and they will be known throughout the world as carriers of peace and love."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance."

God replied wisely,..... "Wait until you see the Idiots I put in their government."

The woman freed the frog, and the frog said,
"Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes.
Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!" The woman said,"That's okay."

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to". The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me."

So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world!
For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world.And he will be ten times richer than you. " The woman said, "That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine." So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack."

Moral of the story:
Women are clever. Don't mess with them.

Attention female readers: This is the end of the joke for you.
Stop here and continue feeling good.

Male readers: Please scroll down.

The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife!!!

Moral of the story:
Women are really dumb but think they're really smart.

Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show

PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show
that women never listen!!!

Forward this to all the guys for a good laugh, and to all the ladies who
have a good sense of humor.

Funny little candle

2005-05-02T09:04:00.000+07:00

I went to a church and prayed and cried.
I lighted 3 candles...
the 1st candle is for skinny hobby
- i prayed he'd change --
Prayed he can build a strong fence with thorns around us,
So that he can protect us from destruction of moralitites.

The 2nd candle is for little andrea - i always prayed for good health.

And the 3rd candle is Biggy Mummy
- before i have prayed, the light *burnt out*
(is it compassion)
while the two candles showed a steady flame
FUNNY LITTLE CANDLES
So i lighted biggy mummy candle.
though it lighted, it lighted not even an inch.
Compared to those 2 candles, who were flaming evenly and steadily.
FUNNY LITTLE candles - - two candles never shed a tear,
while biggy mummy candle flowed teardrops of wax. Funny yet sad.

TEN WAYS TO DISCREETLY GET RID OF SOMEONE YOU CAN'T SEEM TO GET RID OFF

2005-02-27T16:12:00.000+07:00

by: Pedruita

1. secretly place little doses of poison (e.g. insect repelant, rat killer) each time, to his food. make sure the aroma of the food is much stronger. he's so caught up in that stupid tv show to notice the taste anyway.

2. cut off pieces of his hair while he's asleep. makes him ponder to himself, especially waking up and seeing some hair on the pillow. scares him off, that he doesn't tell you he's thinking he has some sort of sickness that he may have gotten from that other girl.

3. replace half of that 'facial cleanser for men' that he uses after every bath with rubbing alcohol. and blame his narcissism.

4. place half a bottle of glue to that newly bought hair polish / hairdressing cream he got for himself and forbids you to use. this time, blame the manufacturers.

5. pretend to laugh at his stupid green jokes during breakfast while secretly replacing sugar with salt to his coffee. blame your inlwas for messing up with the kitchenware and containers when they crashed to your house last weekend and complained of your cooking skills when you even worked for a hotel restaurant before you all met.

6. place a thumbtax or two under that foam cover he places over the seat cover of his car. boing! bonus points especially if he's in a rush to go out somewhere.

7. place a small dead roach to that shoes he uses for going out late at night (and coming home the next day). make sure the roach still have its juices. imagine the stink soon as he removes it when he tries to make out with those bitches he picks up at that low-life degrading beer house. make it two roaches to add points. his bad habit confirmed soon as he comes home without his socks.

8. spill cooking oil on the steps where he inconsiderately places his stinky shoes when you told him a million times not to leave his shoes there everytime he arrives home. either he will slip and bump his head on the wall or his butt on the floor, or he steps on them barefooted (remember, he's not wearing that roachy socks) and would have a hard time removing it with water. he barely uses soap anyway.

9. intentionally, but act innocently, place his atm card to his extremely shopping addict sister's room between a folded paper with the pin code written and wait for results. better his sister launder the money than him spend it on cheap immitation jewelry and dirty rodent infested motel where he takes those bitches from work. and tell him you (without him, coz he can't stand the humiliation of living with your family anyway) would live with your relatives before you starve to death.

10. and if everything fails and he's still there... just stab him with that six inched-shears your using to cut open the plastic cover of those newly bought blank cds he forcedly commands you to use to burn those porn videos he got from his perverted pals. coz he's so dumb to know how to operate the pc. pff.. he doesn't even know you have a copy of this article on your desktop. stab at your heart's content girlfriend!

and claim for innocence due to mental disorder in court (in case someone sues)

PRINCIPLES

2005-02-24T08:41:00.000+07:00

A wife's principle #1:
" Dont give too much love for blood..
Water will never be as thick as the blood."

A wife's principle #2:
" Its hard to give away your whole self,
When you knew you are not worth fighting for."

A wife's question:
" I dont know where to stand...
Maybe I stand alone?"

WHEN THE WORLD FALLS INTO DARKNESS

" Im sad..sad to be alone,
But am not alone!"

" Im stressed, distressed, depressed, uncaressed...EXHAUSTED!"

The Truth Behind My Marriage

2005-02-16T08:03:00.001+07:00

1. "Blood is thicker than water". When a same type of blood penetrates the water, the water tarnished.
2. I am the agent of change - WATER. Water is liable for the blood to stain from its root.
3. For the Root(from where the blood exist), water is nothing but a drought, an ill luck. The Root is very superior, and the blood is being hypnotized. There is no way to sustain the water from its clarity especially when it is penetrated.
4. Blood is biased! It wants the water to deceive its own kind.

Moral Lesson: Use your 5 senses to determine the Blood Type before injecting yourself to MATRIMONY.

TO ALL FICTION BOYS

2005-01-09T01:37:00.000+07:00

"...and all you men are slime."

well. and I quote Thurston moore singing 100%.
that's cruel, isn't it, boys? he could've just said,
all ye boyz are Penisheads.

but yeh, he's true. all us boys are slime.
haha. another anti-boy rant, huh? go ahead, fratboy. make my day and shove yr dirty penis up her filthy mouth.i dunno. maybe that's the reason why girls have had enough of us. we're the ones who are always right. we're the ones who must lead the damned way. o.k., so i'm just a fictional beautiful boy being given a voice by a girl, but wouldn't it be great if there really were boys like me who would admit that we boys are just slime? i'm fictionboy.
i barely exist. i hate being fictional.

i hate being fictional.but then again, maybe one day, things will come around and a girl will fall inlove with me. be it quoted or not. but maybe no adhesive tapes. i know she's had enough of sifting through the jerls. i might want to be her Perfect boy..........
if only i weren't fictional.
ho-hum. g'night.

Petal Wishes

2004-12-31T09:53:00.000+07:00

by: the empress of darkness

As I taste the bitterness
Of my tears
I hide between
The cushions with fear
I languish at the thought
Of never being alone
Longing for that spark
From the eyes of the unknown
And stare into endless rainbows
Behind those firely gaze
It shall only happen once
And cold air will sweep
Through my veins
As the two souls entwine
Controlling that very moment
And everything shall stop
But us.
That is the sign
Where all crossroads will meet
No more bitterness
No more fearTimeless
Over centuries
It was bounded
And eternally will be.

Femme Fatale

2004-12-10T22:09:00.000+07:00

by: Velvet

I have a bad hobby. And its driving me nuts. When I do it, I think about impossible possibilities miles away beyond my reach. This is a sin and im not ashamed to look practically pathetic and plainly stupid. Im tired of writing sexual fantasies and sending them to the person most important to me. not because I wouldn’t like any in reality, but because the more I think about it, the more I desperately want to search for him. My bad hobby brought me to the end of my rope to leap into the shallowness of my mind. And without strings attached I jumped in and dove in deeper. Without thinking. Just feeling. Forcing myself further, with no assurance of my return. This bad hobby, as may be unsounded to others, brings me to satisfaction, intellectually, spiritually; and giving consent for my material body to be degraded. Stimulate me to the heights of the farthest corner of space and time. I know of no other refuge. I know of no other salvation. It’s a one sided mirror and a tango with one foot. Less than one. Less than half. I ask of no forgiveness for being too addicted. This is my obsession and my demise. Pages of thoughts left unsaid. I blend in into the white background. Not knowing, not being known. My entity once evolved me, now I create the silence of a thousand leaves. And I shape my mind to knowing, condition my body into feeling. My bad hobby I shall never take away.
Yes, I am a sinner. I am crazy…and you are my bad hobby.

A tribute to the other half

My love for you is 50 percent over a Hundred.
You never swim the gallon of my necessity,
Yours is a half inch from the outside.

Believe me, this is half meant only.

Calling all idiotors / 'zinisters !

... well actually, anybody who used to write or contribute to the fanzine. And those interested (if there are any) to post anything. ("idiotors" coined for idiot editors)

KKK has nothing to do with the Ku Klux Klan from the US tho, nor the Katipunan from the Philippines, although at one point we considered ourselves radicals. (Or did we?) Anyway, we do not promote racism nor struggle for the emancipation of the working class. The Fanzine was made up by a bunch of idiots who started this in high school and somewhere between the debuts and college lost contact. Now that some of us are burdened by working overtime under a capitalist company or a non-profit organization; and/or burdened by the dullness of life, maybe this website will open another door of oportunities or mis-opertunities (if there is such a thing).

And as Pheqpheqta used to say old habits never die hard so here we are again to write about rants, ants and pants and everything in between, or inside. Whatever that means...
