Woke-up yesterday with a massive headache! :( I think this was from sleeping late because I fixed my iPod the night before. I loaded new songs, movies, album arts and updated my playlist. I did this the night of Saturday and I have to wake up early Sunday to go to mass with Papa and Tei in St. Pio . After the mass I went back to fixing my iPod while watching UFC 109.

I was really pleased that I finished loading album arts on majority of the songs in my player. Last night before going to sleep, I converted the first season of The Ultimate Fighter, I plan to load this early today before going to work. I left my Toshiko on for the night and took Tylenol for my headache, then I went to sleep.

Morning comes, woke up 5:25am and  my file conversion is almost done. After taking a bath, I transferred some of the converted files in my iPod. As I finished loading the files, the unthinkable happened. A message appeared if I want to sync mg iPod, etc. without reading it I clicked OK. Just like that, I erased everything, aaaarrrggghhhh! Dumb and Dumber people! Yep! that’s me! haha! Whew! all the efforts, sleepless night and massive headache, gone to waste! No one to blame but myself, huhuhu!

I was shocked! Angry maybe, but definitely speechless. Erk! I was running late, so I just turned off my Toshiko and went out of the house. Now I am building my playlist again for the nth time. Patiently and carefully, haha! Wish me luck guys! Note to self, read before you click OK and don’t update your iPod when you are in a hurry. :)

Random Thoughts: Weekend Agendas

I was planning to do my gift wrapping this weekend but I didn’t. I haven’t even bought any wrappers for them, and I am giving away some of the gifts little by little, haha! I was thinking if I can just hand them one by one, without wrapping it, but that would spoil my idea of Christmas. So Nuf said, NEED TOO BUY GIFT WRAPPER!

Jon, Ghik and myself watched Ninja Assassin yesterday. I was made to believe that the movie was great, so we went to Eastwood to catch the 12:45 NN screening. GORE! GORE! And more GORE! Effect were good but the story was a BLAH! No depth, no catchy line, in other words the story line did not work for me. Don’t get me wrong I love Kill Bill, it was violent, gory and disturbing but I loved it! This one? Oh no! The last shot where Rizo went up the wall that his girlfriend climbed when she tries to escape the “camp” I thought Rizo would say “My name is Rain. ” hahahaha!

~*~

I was watching Sex and the City Season 1 last night after PBB elimination night. I downed 5 episodes in one sitting, and stopped when I saw it was dawn. I can’t get enough of Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda. I love these women. I so envy Carrie for having those shoes! Now I know what I want, next year I will start my shoe collection! haha! I hope I can do that! :)

I am still heartbroken about the rompers I saw in Zara Rockewel, still dreaming that someday I will have one. Last week I visited Zara Greenbelt 5 like 3 times, haha! I won’t be surprised if the sales assistant already recognized my face haha! Still sad on the outcome of my romper search, I went on with my shopaholic adventure. I went to SPACE last Saturday as advised by my cousin Tei, I saw cheaper but also pretty playsuit. I was really torn if I will get this or not but as the snobby sales lady told me that this was their last stock and usually they don’t replenish, I decided to get it. I gave them my credit card but their machine was busted, then and there I decided to reserve it and get it back today. A while ago we went back to the store to get it, I am so happy the sales lady hold my reservation. Although I’m still not over my Zara romper, I am happy with my purchase. :)

I had dinner with Jon in Causway today. It was a nice dimsum festival, we agreed not to have rice tonight so we just feasted on dimsum. We ordered Chicken Feet, Crab Roe Siomai, Spare Ribs with Tausi and Buchi. Love their Crab Roe Siomai and Spare Ribs with Tausi. Yum Yum! We enjoyed the food while people watching in the restaurant. With good and cheap food, we will surely come back here. :)

weekend movie marathon…

Leave a comment

This long weekend, all I did was watch my downloaded movies. After a whole day of Christmas shopping, it was so relaxing to finally sit back and watch a movie. I opened Toshiko and searched for my downloaded movies, what to watch? Hmmmm…. Tadaaa! Here are my selections for the weekend. As I blog these films please take note that my reviews are my opinion and I may mention some parts of the movie (*Spoiler Alert*). Game!

Paranormal Activity – 11/28/09 – This is a true story, or so they say (I doubt it). It’s about a couple who was haunted by a demon. The girl Kate was like a demon magnet, she was haunted by this being since she was 8. Her boyfriend Micah was a little doubtful about the haunting until he experienced it. The movie was somewhat Blair Witch Project meets The Exorcist. It gives me the creeps when I see random movements caught on camera while the couple is sleeping. Hearing a strange voice call your name in the middle of the night is not what I want to experience. And knowing that even if I move out of the house “it” will still follow me! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! Well the movie ends up tragically, both Kate and Micah died in the house. Hard to believe this is a true story though, I read somewhere that there are several ending versions of this horrifying film. I am not surprised that I also found some information about the “actors” on the net. Watch this if you want a good scare, some parts maybe boring but as it was simply made, it’s closer to reality. 

Milk – 11/29/09 – Hi! My name is Harvey Milk and I’m here to recruit you… I liked the movie. It’s a about the first openly gay man who was elected to public office in California. He put on such a brave fight for equal rights for the third sex in America. I was really moved by the way he relentlessly campaigned for equal rights for everyone and on how he helped everyone that needed him. One of my favorite scenes here in the movie was when he was trying to convince Cleve to register to vote, although he did not convinced him at first, he became his mentor. The other one was when Milk was having a meeting in his apartment then Scott drove away the people for him and Milk to have a nice dinner. Scott was so mad about what was happening with Milk, being so immerse in his political career that he sometimes forgets himself.  What a waste that Harvey Milk was just assassinated by a man who loathes him too much. He could have done so much more for his fellow members of the third sex. SAD… :( Sean Penn deserved the Best Actor Award for this, as well as Best Picture for Dustin Lance Black. Bravo guys!!! :)

500 Days of Summer – 11/30/09 – A friend of mine can so relate to this movie, haha! Majority of her friends including me says so, haha! Oh my where should I start without thinking of my friend??? Oh here, I love the actress Zooey Deschanel, love the way she looked in the movie, from her costumes, to her lines. One of the best lines in the movie was this (as quoted by my Marsy Nice) “SUMMER: I woke up one morning and I just knew. TOM: Knew what? SUMMER: What I was never sure of with you.” This really hit me. It’s like when you have one of the greatest love of your life then one day *poof* you realized that, “Nah! This is not gonna’ work out.” I also love how Rachel takes care of his brother Tom, how she breaks reality to him. Her advises were so good you would not expect that it would come from a kid like her. She is so beyond her years, unlike Tom who wallows in his depression every time he is reminded of Summer. This is not really a feel good romantic comedy, this is reality. No happy endings, no walking in the clouds feeling, no they live happily ever after. This is how real relationship works. Oh well, it’s just me and how I view the movie. Reality bites and you have to bite back to survive! :)

Now, I’m done with my long weekend marathon. But I know this won’t be the last. Expect more from me in this blog. Pardon some of my senseless views; remember it’s just my opinion. Till my next movie marathon, I have tons on my line up! :)

My New Moon Review (spoiler alert)

2 Comments

If there is only one thing I can say about the movie it would be this one: New Moon Movie is far better than the Twilight Movie! I loved it! No regrets in buying tickets in advance. Haha! The long wait for the movie was also really worth it! I want to see it again, haha! I don’t care if I’m ranting like a teenager, Go Team Edward! haha!

There were many parts that were tweaked to enhance what was in the book. These scenes like the dream catcher from Jacob, the visions instead of Edwards voice, the scene where in Felix was brawling Edward, and others. It was a good way of connecting scene after scene to create the picture. The flashbacks of Bella also helped many the viewers who did not read the book understand the story more. So no worries for those who have not read the book, but personally I think you should read the book because many scenes were edited to compress the movie to 2 and a half hours.

One of my favorite scenes was the part where Edward arrived in school on Bella’s birthday, he was so gorgeous, haha! He greeted her discreetly and Bella was a bit of annoyed to be reminded that she is indeed getting older. I just noticed that Edward has a new car, it’s still Volvo but not the “Edward car” Volvo. I miss the shiny Volvo, aaawww… Then Jacob appeared to wish Bella a happy birthday and gave her a birthday present, a dream catcher. As they went to class, Edward was teasing and asking Bella, why does Jacob get to give her present while he is not allowed. Then the Romeo and Juliet class scene came, well that did not work for me, it was far better in the book, where they watched the movie privately. But to be fair, Edward reciting the lines of Romeo was a hit, haha!

I expected the birthday scene to be a bit longer. Cullen family are still the same, Esme was warm, Emmett was funny, Jasper was distant and Rosalie was as usual snub. Alice was prettier in this movie, and Carlisle is still handsome.  I also noticed costumes and make-up were better for this second installment of the Twilight saga. They still look like vampires but they do not have the Geisha foundation effect look. Good job wardrobe and make-up! :)

Ok now we go to the wolves side… Love the scene where Jacob went to Bella’s room, the effects on how he climbed his way up to the window. Raaaawwwrr! haha! I also love the scene where Paul and Jacob were in a fight, before and when they transformed in front of Bella. Droll worthy bodies and tats are exposed, weeeee! A big plus points for the wolf pack, haha! As for the wolf transformation, their characters were adorable instead of scary, haha! Jacob looked like a fox, because of his color and construction of his face. Cute but fierce, nice combination by the way. After the scene was the part where they went to Emily to eat. Whoa! I was surprised by the size of those muffins, they were HUGE! Then Jacob and Paul came to the scene, its like the fight never happened.

There are still many favorite  scenes that I have in mind, but I am too tired to put it in words, haha! Hey give me a break, its past 1 AM and I am still blogging about my movie night. haha! All in all the movie was great for me, it exceeds my expectations. I expected it to be like the other literary works turned into a movie, just for the heck that they can say that the book was made into a movie. I hate that! Good work for the cast and crew of New Moon. :) Congratulations guys!  :) Keep up the good work. Till we see again in Eclipse. :)

I am officially “A Day Late”

Leave a comment

Warning! This is some what a New Moon Post!

I went to Eastwood City yesterday evening with Mae to reserve seats for our New Moon movie night. I was a bit nervous because I was thinking that the reservation for advance seat sale for the weekend is already sold out. We arrived in Eastwood after 1 grueling hour of long line and traffic, it was about 8-ish or so.

I expected the worst when we entered the mall, (again) long ticket lines, irritable costumers, kids running like hell and others. Surprise! Surprise! The exact opposite of the scene that I was imagining, no lines, no customers, no irritable kids, etc. Just us and the people in the counters to help us. Wow! God really works in mysterious ways. *wink* *wink*

We asked the reservation officer for the available seating for the first day of showing. Well no surprise here, the only available seats were 3 in front row and other single seats in between of groups. We gave up on the first day of showing and decided to reserve for the second day instead. WEEEEEE! at least we got confirmed! haha!

Having said that we are watching New Moon on the second day I have thought of a song very fitting to this, haha! Crazy right? This song was introduced to me by Jamie. I so love this song! :) It’s not really directly connected to New Moon, but if you widen your imagination it can be. It’s just a song that reminds me that I am a day late for the premier showing of the movie. LOLZ!  

A Day Late * Anberlin

so let me get this straight
say now you loved me all along?
what made you hesitate
to tell me with words what you really feel
i can see it in your eyes you mean all of what you say
i remember so long ago, see i felt that same way
now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)
insignificantly enough we both have significant others

only time will tell
time will turn and tell

we are who we were when
could’ve been lovers but at least you’re still my day late friend
we are who
we are who we were when
who knew what we know now
could’ve been more but at least you’re still my day late friend
we are who
we are who we were when

but thoughts they change and times they rearrange i don’t know who you are anymore
loves come and go and this i know i’m not who you recall anymore
but i must confess you’re so much more then i remember
can’t help but entertain these thoughts
thoughts of us together

we are who we were when
could’ve been lovers but at least you’re still my day late friend
we are who
we are who we were when
who knew what we know now
could’ve been more but at least you’re still my day late friend
we are who
we are who we were when

my day late friend

so let me get this straight
all these years and you were no where to be found
and now you want me for your own
but you’re a day late and my love, she’s still renowned
we are who we were when
could’ve been lovers but at least you’re still my day late friend
we are who
we are who we were when
who knew what we know now
could’ve been more but at least you’re still my day late friend
we are who
we are who we were when
