The Family Stone

2006-01-22T19:29:00.000-08:00

Most of the time when I go watch a movie, I already know what I wanted to watch. I guess that's the case for most people too. But last saturday with my girlfriend, we decided to watch a movie just to kill time. We didn't know what movie was playing that day. Anyways of all the movies listed we decided on the movie The Family Stone. We didnt know anything about it. We didnt know if it was a comedy, drama or one of those romantic comedies. We decided on it because we knew the actors in it. There was Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Diane Keaton and the long lost Claire Danes. To our surprise it was good. It was a simple movie about family. I definitely recommend to people. Though be forwarned coz I got teary eyed 3 times. There i said it!

My dream movie

2006-01-10T05:31:00.000-08:00

The metro manila film festival has pass and I didn't go see any of the films that were shown. For one there wasn't really any one film that stood out for me. It was the same old comedies, fantasy and drama films that were being shown. I knew that I wouldn't enjoy the heavy dramas, will not laugh at the comedies and will feel very dissapointed with the special effects of the fantasy films. Now if you ask me the coolest movie that I would love to see is: Tito, Vic and Joey: Iskul Bukol the Movie. So please Mr. Tito Sotto stop being a politician just for a few days and make my dream movie!!! Please!!!

Post Holiday Syndrome

2006-01-08T23:45:00.000-08:00

After all the christmas hype and New Year anticipation everything feels crappy right now for me. I still can't get over the fact that another holiday is over. It sucks that I'm still in holiday mode. I'm hoping to God that by tomorrow I'm back to my working mode.

i, weird

2006-01-05T02:06:00.000-08:00

Came across my friend Mari-An's blog and I guess she tagged me to say 5 weird things about me. So now I am adding another entry on my blog which is so over due on entries. hehehe! Anyways, here are my 5 weird quirks.

1. My knowledge in Philippine showbiz. I can't even explain it myself how I would know so and so. It just happens.

2. I absolutely loathe Hazelnut chocolates. It would make feel nauseus just tasting it, which is weird because I love all other kinds of chocolate. In fact I can't resist chocolates well except for hazelnut.

3. I don't drink alcohol. Actually it isn't really that weird. What's weird are people's reaction when I say I don't drink. As if they feel really bad for me.

4. Moving back to the Philippines from the US. I have no explanation, I just like it here.

5. My refusal to buy pirated CDs and DVDs. Arrrrrr

Well dont know who to tag next. I guess you can just go ahead and tag yourself and tell me your blogsite so I can read it.

Ang pagbabalik

2005-12-12T05:08:00.000-08:00

Wow after about 8 months I am able to update my blog. One main reason is that I finally got internet connection at my house thanks to Smart WIFI. In less than a week after I sign up Smart was able to hook me up with a wireless DSL. So now my plan is to figure out how to put pictures and write more thoughts so that this wouldn't such a waste of web space.

Drummers

2005-04-01T08:53:00.000-08:00

Just as I was coming to work this morning. One of the local radio station played Message in the Bottle by The Police. So it got me thinking that I should list my 10 favorite drummers.

TOP TEN FAVORITE DRUMMERS

1. STUART COPELAND(THE POLICE)
2. DAVE GROHL(NIRVANA)
3. JOHN BONHAM(LED ZEPPELIN)
4. RENI(THE STONE ROSES)
5. RINGO STARR(THE BEATLES)
6. SEAN KINNEY(ALICE IN CHAINS)
7. NEIL PEART(RUSH)
8. ALAN WHITE(OASIS)
9. LARRY MULLEN JR. (U2)
10. DAVE ROWNTREE (BLUR)

Note: My top ten doesn't mean that one is better than the other. It just means that if I knew how to play drums I wouldn't mind having their skills.

Smaller Bills

2005-03-30T11:13:00.000-08:00

I am starting to loose my cool everytime I go to a local store. Whether it's a small ice cream stall or a giant grocery store the cashier always ask if I have a smaller bill. For example I went to a department store yesterday to purchase a can opener for P49.75. I gave the cashier P100 and immediately she gave me a frustrated look and uttered the dreaded ”Sir, do you have a smaller bill?” What the? Well if I did I would but I don't so stop asking. It's not like I paid a P1000 bill for a P49.75 item. The asking part is really not the worse. It's more of the look and the bad vibe that they throw at you. As if making me feel that I just made their job harder.

The Beginning

2005-03-29T21:15:00.000-08:00

Well this is my second stab at an online blog. Hopefully this will be more fruitful than the first time. Anyways I'm hoping this will get my mind working and get more creative. I would definitely be showing pictures and writing junk that pops on my head. So until then!
