Of the mdog #

So, this is written in the Philippine Star today,

 

“Directed by Danny Boyle, who had never really done other important films in the past – unless you consider Trainspotting truly significant…”

 

Hay, really Mr. Butch Francisco?

 

Trainspotting is not that important? Righhhhhhtt…

 

Currently, Trainspotting is at number 168 in Imdb’s top 250 films of all time, having 126,351 votes. This movie won and was nominated with a lot of awards including a Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium nomination, where Sling Blade was the winner for this category.

 

It is one of the most memorable movies of the nineties alongside Run Lola Run and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. And this is one of the movies where Ewan Mcgregor showed his pee-pee.

 

I love Trainspotting and that’s why I am reacting this way.

 

And there’s 28 Days Later… where it was nominated again and won a few awards worldwide. This movie is awesome, I say.

 

Also, there’s Sunshine, which I found sucky but not for most people who has an average vote of 7.3 in IMDB and this movie was also nominated for a few award giving bodies.

 

Don’t forget the movie, The Beach. Oh, you all know this movie. The one with pretty boy Leo, this may not be significant as important because some people might not get it. And it is utterly weird that I’m protecting Leonardo Dicaprio. Ugh.

 

Despite a very ugly Vacuuming Completely Nude in Paradise, you can still say that this director has a few notable movies in his hand. He just went big with Slumdog because this is the time for Bollywood.

 

I completely agree with your column about Slumdog but that’s about it. We don’t need to bring down a movie just to increase our own. There is a lot of rehabilitation needed with our dying industry and we don’t need to go sour-graping with this instance. Aren’t we glad that, technically, Oscars went Asian?

 

This might pave way for us or even the South Koreans and other Asian countries that can make it big globally.

 

I just don’t like it when there’s not much research of an article in a newspaper.

 

--=+=--

 

Imagine, hindi daw ganun ka-significant ang Trainspotting. E ang Pinas lang naman ang may problema sa mga lecheng ratings na yan e. Hindi pa ganun ka-advanced ang artistry sa atin. Marami pa ding bawal. Look at the SM malls. Diba may ruling sila na bawal ang Rated-R sa mga movie houses nila. Kaya nga putol putol ang Watchmen e.

 

Ang sisihin nyo yung mga distributors, isa lang naman ang isasagot niyan sa inyo, “the Filipino people might not get it, malulugi tayo nyan…”

 

At ngayon nagtataka ang gobyerno natin kung bakit talamak pa din ang piracy sa bansa.

 

Langya, i-bash ba naman ang Trainspotting ko. Hmp.

The most awesome-est thing in showbiz right now is the Agoncillo-Santos wedding…

 

Wha-at?

 

Yeah, they got married yesterday and it was a “secwet”.

 

No, really?

 

Yeah, they did get married in Batangas. It was really a secret and the awesome parts are:

-         It is a secret.

-         They fooled most people because they told everyone that the vows will happen on May.

-         The invitation was vague (I believe they used a slipper as an invitation.)

-         They did it in Batangas where the people in that town didn’t even know that there is a “power-couple” getting married there. And it was smart of them to do that because in case it is leaked to any of the major stations, it will take them hours just to get there, as most tv stations are based in Quezon City. Though Batangas is easily accessible too, especially if you make byahe there early.

-         To those people around them who have/has a low EQ, they didn’t know what hit them.

-         Juday looked pretty during that day.

-         And did I say that the matrimony is a secret?

 

I’m not really a fan. Really! I just happen to love their idea of a wedding… private and intimate. They didn’t have to invite a people that they didn’t know. And hindi sila nagpapansin unlike other couples who have to invite the whole village (including the fishing village and the village people) to witness their wedding.

 

Hello? They went there for the food noh.

 

I haven’t read the whole story yet but if I’m right, it’s good. Good luck guys.

 

(yihee. Ang showbiz.)

 

--=+=--

 

In a related story, the NBA…

 

Pootangna, most of the matches are really good.

 

I won’t be talking about the Lakers, kasi nandun na si Kobe. And Utah is meh.

I won’t be talking about the Mavericks, kasi wala si Ginobili sa Spurs. Duh.

I won’t be talking about the Cavs, kasi wala na yung astig na Pistons.

 

Regarding Orlando, I’m hoping the Magic would at least move on to the semi-finals. I have no great argument here. I just want to see Hedo and Dwight move pass the Sixers. If I remember it correctly, wala pa yatang hardcore places ang Magic ever since the Penny-Shaq days. (hindi ako sure. Hahaha!)

 

I am for the Heat… dahil kay coach. I’m not too keen with Dwayne. Basta, I want them to move kasi kababayan natin yung coach.

 

I will always be a Houston fan ever since the Olajuwon-Drexler era.

 

Now, for the Boston Celtics… losing in a double OT at game four is a heartbreaker and I was surprised to see that they won two points in OT. I know KG is a big factor here and I’m not saying that the Celtics would stay on at the end but I know, if you are a basketball fan, you have to watch these OT games. Fantabolous. And nabasa ko na two missed free throws ang ginawa pala ni Brad Miller. Bwahahaha. And I didn’t even know na nasa Chicago na pala si Brad.

 

And the best story of the day, New Orleans lost big against the Nuggets. It must have been a humbling experience for their main man, Chris Paul.

Galing kong mag-semi anchor ng news noh? Bwahahaha!

Of the foundation #

Almost exactly or exactly almost eight months ago my dad took home a lonely turkey. Alive of course! And our home is going to start the domestication of a “domesticated” bird.

 

It was lonely of course. So, it was decided to bring in the pair.

 

And it was awesome.

 

Whatever you see in those triple-x films (I am very well sure that I’ll be hearing, “What triple-x films?), you won’t see it done by the turkey couple.

 

They just did an ordinary missionary copulation.

 

Yeah, boring, I know.

 

After some day to day copulation, they have finally made a special event in their lives.

 

Eggs came out of the father turkey… uy, joke lang (who’s going to believe that)… out of the mother turkey and right now there is only one existing survivor…

 

And we need your help… badly… come and join us with:

 

“SAVE OUR LITTLE TURKEY TUTOY FOUNDATION”

 

We need help from you fast. Be it in monetary or in item. As most foundations out there who scams people, our foundation gives you something that is completely different with them.

 

As the founder of this foundation, you know me and that is the only difference with our foundation against the con foundations out there.

 

So, what do you get in return? A simple task of giving your name for the little turkey tutoy.

 

If there are five donators out there then the little turkey tutoy might be named as John Paul George Ringo Junior… that simple.

 

But wait there’s more, in case we cook eggs from the mother turkey, like what we did a few months ago, you’ll get to taste some wonderful fresh turkey eggs and you’ll tell yourself, “I’m eating the brother or sister of John Paul George Ringo Junior…”

 

--=+=--

 

Our foundation is also aware of the current status of people, the Internet, and the blogging of the killing of animals. We are apologizing in advance if ever we offend people.

 

Turkey eggs anyone?

2046

Summary: First off, I forgot who the director is but this is the third part of a trilogy that started with ‘In The Mood For Love’ that stars Bembol Roco, Pepe Pimentel, and Jean Saburit. Joke lang. Mainly, it is about a guy who still has some hang-ups from the first movie, of the trilogy, and he is trying to relive that life by living in room 2047 and it is just across room 2046, where he made uber-passionate love. So, in synopsis, I didn’t really understand the meaning of the story. I know it is a love story that is not linear and it resembles a lot of fucked-up relationship issues. Just like reality.

Why you have to watch it: As Asians are really hitting it big with the romance slash love story movies; this is a nice approach since it gives us a view of Hong Kong in a love story style. I like the part where they go sci-fi and that’s it.

Why not: I have to watch this again. I didn’t really get it the first time much like In Bruges and Burn After Reading. And it is a love story for Christ sakes. Yuck.

 

Rosetta

Summary: It is about a girl who is a teenager and is a worker and has a useless and drunk mom and she lives in a trailer.

Why you have to watch it: This is a Belgian (I’m quite sure this is shot in Belgium) movie that shows the life of a teenage lady who has no protection with labor laws. This movie started a new law named Rosetta law in Belgium (no, really!) This is more of a modern approach to survival.

Why not: She should’ve died at the end. I hated her with what she did to that guy. This is fucking depressing. Next!

 

L: Change The World

Summary: Follow L’s exploits after the first and second Death Note movies.

Why you have to watch it: If you are a fan of the Anime-manga series then you have to watch this.

Why not: If you are not a fan then don’t watch it. Dyosko, the plot is mababaw and I thought that the anti-hero counterpart is still alive, hindi na pala. Thank God he died in the end. And he’s kinda gay nga pala. Nag-ala Michael Jackson siya dun. He wubs little kids kasi. Especially that genius little boy, ftw for you L!

 

Hotel For Dogs

Summary: If you didn’t like the version of Emma Roberts’ Nancy Drew then you have to watch this. It is not about solving crimes and stuff. This is a movie regarding dogs that needs to be adopted and the kids created a home for those little cute and strange creatures. These dogs are so cute that you might want to dress them up in drag costumes and let them dance the Money Song ala Cabaret.

Why you have to watch it: If you enjoyed Marley and Me (I’m saying this to the point that you cried buckets when you watched that stupid movie. Who wants to watch a movie where a dog dies and you watch it and it will let you remember all the dogs that you owned in the past and imagine the hurt and the burden you’ll feel every time you think about those dead dogs and wishing that dog years would be the same as turtle years though we wouldn’t like that since there would probably be a dog overpopulation and it will just share the problems with nature causing global warming), yeah, watch this too.

Why not: If you are sick and tired of ‘awww’-ing in movie then you might want to wait for the next Marley and Me sequel where there’ll be having a dog genocide somewhere in Bermuda Triangle… though they won’t really die since that place is still a big mystery.

 

Being John Malkovich

Summary: It rocks to see a movie where you go literally inside a person and this is about it. You get to be inside John Malkovich and you’ll see here how two women conceive a baby.

Why you have to watch it: For the simple reason that this movie is so different and awesome that you really have to watch it. If you’re fond of the highly irregular ideas in movies (hello Eraserhead?) then you’d surely enjoy this type of movie. You get to enter a weird door. And when you enter it you literally would go to the person’s brain. I got to enjoy the acting of John Cusack, Cameron Diaz (believe me, you won’t notice her the first time you see her), and of course, John Malkovich. See it. Believe it. Enjoy it. It’s funny.

Why not: Naked body of John Malkovich? No thanks. (I can’t really remember if John made some nudee nudee in the film. Hooray.)

Dahil lima lang, I have to say that Napoleon, Yi Yi or A One And A Two, and Ang Tatay Kong Nanay are memorable too.

I was able to catch the episode wherein Manny is in Tmz. It was nice that he is considered a celebrity in the U.S. and the monicker “the People’s Champ” is sticking.

 

And of course, you’re expecting some ass-hole comment from the group and they only came up with Manny should have a bbq grille advertisement.

 

“But he’s not retired.” One of the Tmz people said.

 

If they only knew the issues that they can dig with Manny’s life. It would be oh so awesome.

 

But who wants to kill his own?

 

Let’s leave the bashing to the Caucasians to the non-Asians.

People are raving on this new Brit, Susan Boyle. Let me see, first was Paul Potts then her.

 

I’m expecting a short fuse on her limelight.

 

No, really.

Playoffs is starting folks! I am currently having a vigil for my team, the Boston Celtics. KG is out and it would be uber sad if they won’t get a back-to-back championship win.

 

Everybody’s betting on a Cavs-Lakers battle but i’ll still stick with the Celtics.

 

Yeah, a longshot.

 

--=+=--

 

The Internet is the real medium.

 

See what happened with the cat killer. A simple, ignorant, stupid blog post paved way for his unneeded celebrity status not just in the Internet but also in the news (ang swerte ng local news sa ganito since it would be easy for them to get the facts kasi it is all over the Internet).

 

So, the next time you write regarding confessions on things and shit, be aware that you are writing this for the world (despite you telling people that you’re just writing that for yourself, well that is stupid.)

I’ll be posting a weekly five movie review every week (chong, weekly and every week in one sentence, anobeh) and I’ll start this week and hopefully do it week after week (that’s better. That’s five “week”s in one sitting este sentence.)

 

So, in short, magfi-feeling lang ako na para akong si Ebert and Siskel. Naisip ko kasi na madalas naman akong manood tapos wala naman akong masulat…

 

Sabi nga sa kasabihan, it all falls into pieces like some puzzle pieces, you’ll never know what you gonna get… (hanodaw?)

The Host

Summary: Isa itong movie na ginawa sa Korea about a monster na gawa sa isang formaldehyde. May political agenda din kasi yung movie na ito about Americans and maganda ang visual graphics nito.

Why you have to watch it: Para sa isang Sokor movie na kung hindi pa kayo nagsasawa sa sandamukal nilang malulupet na mga love story related movies, isa itong breather para sa inyong lahat. Ang maganda sa film na ito, nasimulan sa comedy at monster at natapos sa drama at monster. Kung galit kayo sa banyagang Amerika, e ito na ang palabas na para sa inyo. Nakakatuwa kung paano nila ini-spoof ang Agent Orange.

Why not: Hindi na dapat namatay yung tatay nung bida. Kasi kung yun yung selling point na dapat tanga talaga yung bida e hindi masyadong bumenta sa akin. Hindi pa ba sapat na katangahan niya yung pagsama ng anak nya dun sa monster at kailangan pang dagdagan para sa pagkamatay ng tatay niya? E ganun pa din naman ang mangyayari, kailangan nilang sagipin yung bata. Unless na excess baggage lang yung tatay kahit na siya talaga yung may pinaka-utak dun sa buong pamilya.

 

--=+=--

 

Knowing

Summary: Isang bata ay nakatanggap ng churva na papel na galing sa isang time capsule at nakasulat dun lahat ng mga major disasters na nangyari limampung-taon na ang nakaraan.

Why you have to watch it: Giving Nicholas Cage another chance. Kahit na sunod-sunod na ang mga flop niyang movies tulad ng Ghost Rider, Bangkok Dangerous at yung movie na ginaya ang Da Vinci Code, hindi mo pa din makakaila na bigyan siya ng fifth chance. Hello, ang ganda kaya ng The Rock, Face/off at ng Gone In 60 Seconds. Pagbigyan ninyo naman yung panot na ito. At the same time, interesting yung plot a. Parang Unbreakable ang dating.

Why not: At anak ng pating naman, hindi pa ba sila nagsasawa sa ganung ending. Kaya nga galit nag alit ako sa Indy 4 dahil sa ganung ending tapos eto na naman po tayo. At kulang ang build-up nung ending. Parang… eh? Yun na yun. Buti pa ang The Day After Tomorrow, may impact. Pati Deep Impact (pero hindi kasama ang Deep Throat a.)

 

--=+=--

 

Fast and The Furious 4

Summary: You know what. Hindi ko talaga nasundan yung movie. Basta ang alam ko eto talaga yung tunay na sequel nung unang Fast and The Furious. Hindi yung two at lalong-lalo nang hindi yung walang kakwentang kwentang drift movie.

Why you have to watch it: Come on, hamon. Sequel ito nung first movie. Syempre old-school Vin Diesel ito at nagdadasal ka na sa bumenta yung movie kaya pinanood mo siya. At syempre nandun si Michelle Rodriguez na din.

Why not: Anak ng ewan, namatay ba talaga si Michelle? Hindi ko talaga siya nasundan masyado, naglilinis ako ng kwarto ko nung pinanonood ko ito. Akala ko panalong super ito e. Yung stunt lang sa gas ang happy. At yung mga kotse, kotse pa din sila. Nawala na para sa kin yung awesome-ness factor ng mga naka-set up na kotse. Nagsawa na ko sa pagseset-up nyan sa Need for Speed Underground.

 

--=+=--

 

Barb Wire

Summary: Isang vigilante babe na pumapatay ng dahil sa pera.

Why you have to watch it: Si Pamela Anderson Lee ang bida sa movie na ito. Hindi ko alam kung magiging enticing pa din sa inyo ang pag-topless niya sa simula ng movie. Hindi sa kin bumenta yun pero yung pagiging B-movie nung film ang bumenta sa kin. Bihira ka kasing makapanood ng ganito na isang tulad ni Pamela ang gagawa ng action movie. It is so stupid, it must be good.

Why not: B-movie sya. Kung ano man ang elements ng isang movie na tulad nito at hindi ka nag-eenjoy sa mga ganung klase, hindi ito para sa iyo. (hindi ako masunget. Hehehe.)

 

--=+=--

 

Fame

Summary: Storya ng buhay ng mga estudyante sa isang school para sa mga non-logical courses tulad ng pagkanta, pagsayaw, at paggawa ng paputok sa Bulacan.

Why you have to watch it: Unang-una, ang soundtrack. Isang malupet na movie na puro magaganda ang mga kanta. Nandito yung mga hits ni Irene Cara at ultimo yung Is It Ok If I Call You Mine ni Mccrane ay nandito din. It was refreshing again to watch this type of film, parang Saturday Night Fever.

Why not: Bakit hindi ko gusto yung ending nung guy na mahilig sa one-man orchestra? Wala lang. Yun lang ang reklamo ko.

 

(coz I remember your name… fame!)

Of the dedz #

If you’ve been constantly following the news lately then you’d probably know the Etong suicide case (for you non-parishioners, it’s the Trinidad Etong, wife of Ted Failon).

 

You have to bear with me on this. I’m blaming all the crimes shows and movies for this one that’s why there are theories and I still don’t believe their so-called final verdict which is suicide.

 

So, if you have been frantically following the case, you’re probably expecting some drama behind it as there is always an episode where the lead crime investigator cries for the dead.

 

But not in this case…

 

I still don’t get it on why people aren’t really interested on the person who died. It is as if people are just interested with the living (kasi si Ted Failon ang issue). Nobody really cared if the person died naturally or if she really did commit suicide or if there was a foul play.

 

And I still believe that there is a foul play. Evidence suggests that the suicide letter is stupid. Why would you say ‘po’ to your husband? I’m sorry I don’t get it.

 

Then, there is the evidence of the blood clean-up. Did you know that Ted Failon took up law and he is obviously familiar with the ins and outs of the law? Creating issues within the 72 hour investigation is a great approach to forget the whole foul play ordeal and let us all accept that it is just one plain suicide.

 

And the funny thing is it was everyone’s fault. The police, the crime scene investigators, etc but not the family, I don’t know about that but who are we going to blame in this case since there is obviously a foul play involved?

 

It seems that there is one great mind behind all of this.

 

I’m stopping here… =)

 

--=+=--

 

Now, the six policemen who just did their job had a thirty-day suspension because of what they did.

 

Well, you can’t blame them. We are living in a country of “gantihan” and obviously “maraming nasagasaan tong si Ted”. But knowing how most of the talents of Channel 2 work, “hindi na ko nagtataka”.

 

--=+=--

 

I’m not saving our policemen’s faces here. If there’s one thing that our so-called law abiders have to do is to gain respect without scaring anyone.

 

(ito lang siguro yung nakakatawa na ang ordinaryong tao, takot lumapit sa pulis kung may kailangang kasi natatakot tayo. Wala tayong tiwala sa pulis. At may respeto lang tayo sa kanila dahil sa posisyon nila. Other than that, no thanks.)

Of the sly #

I’ve read somewhere, probably from a friend, that someone made a remembering of Arnold Swardernerber… Swatcheewatchee… uhm… yeah.

 

Now, when I went to Robinson’s yesterday I happen to chance upon a great eighties action hero, and his name was wain… oops… and his name was Sylvester Stallone.

 

If the Rocky series was shown today, it would probably still hit. Right? I mean, if there aren’t any boxing movies made and shown. It is the next best thing to men who cry during basketball championships. Men would really want to watch this drama, despite it being drama. With the simple storyline of a boxer, as people love dramatic storylines of professional athletes or athletes (including athlete’s foot) in general.

 

Dash why The Wrestler made its rounds last year in the cinematic ring…

 

Going back to Sly (it should be Syl kasi hindi logical yung Sylvester tapos Sly yung nick nya, e di dapat Slyvester na siya), as I’ve said, I was able to catch one of his movies and the title of it is Rambo.

 

At first, I ignored the movie. I mean, who wouldn’t? Come on, tell me… would you still watch the original Rambo series (you’d probably say yes and you’d probably tell me that it is for nostalgia purposes. So, good for you…)

 

(for obvious reasons, there is a follow-up to the previous paragraph and here it is… hehe)

 

After minding my own business for a few minutes, I’ve decided to watch the movie since it is in its kick-ass action glory. And I didn’t know that the scenes made were absolutely funny.

 

The bullet-tipped arrow made the movie entertaining. It is probably understandable that Rambo’s arrows can make vehicles explode but shooting it in a person while he is running is something… really… funny.

 

So, tell me, a big-muscled ape person can be good with archery too? Rrrriiggghhhttt.

 

And what’s up with spending all your armalite’s bullets over stacks of filing cabinets and paper works?

 

There is such a thing called gasoline and fire. They should’ve at least copied it in Apocalypse Now, “I love the smell of Napalm in the morning…”

 

--=+=--

 

And this is a new direction for movies this year… let us all watch Sly’s old films.

 

(at parang ang haba na naman ng sinulat ko…)

I originally thought of doing a http://www.urbandictionary.com entry or something like creating a program and doing some nonsense programming (dinga?)

 

I ended up proclaiming the day as “Legally Emo Day” or Legalemda or simply L.E.D. (how electrical err how electronic!)

 

It was sort of different this year. It felt like I would like to cry. It felt sooo emo with a reason. It was not angst since I’m not angry. It was just that plain old shitty emo.

 

(being emo wasn’t actually that old, kelan lang yan e.)

 

And as the day encompasses (aaaa… hayfaluting word yan, ultimo ako hindi ko alam ibig sabihin nyan e) or as the day is hourly moving, it was kind of different.

 

It felt so good that the day is extraordinarily magical.

 

Case in point, a few well-wishers who were still awake last night. Thank you.

 

The early morning greeters, who greeted me of course… Thank you.

 

The pain free driver’s license application courtesy of the LTO employees and the servidoras of some restos and fast food chains who maintained cheerfulness all throughout the day. Thank you.

 

And to all the beerkadets, officemates and ex-officemates, choirmates, college friends, geeks, php family, plurkfriends, relatives, and my family… Thank you.

 

(oh God, I do hope I didn’t miss anybody. In case it is the case, thank you.)

 

And thanking God of course… Thank you.

This is the first time I’ve gone really appreciative of things (living and non-living). I’d really want to cry but no cameras were rolling so let’s save it for a rainy day…

 

It is oh so fun to live.

Of the 25 #

Ever since 2009 came, it had been tedious for me to write crap.

 

But writing crap is like butterfly on a sweet Sunday morning for you.

 

Nah.

 

--=+=--

 

I think a lot of people were able to catch the 25^th anniversary of Wrestlemania and here are some of my inputs since I’ve been watching a lot of fake, ridiculous, shallowly-scripted “professional” wrestling lately.

 

Let me put it this way. I’ll try to put the background first on why the match has been decided and I’ll try to add some things I’ve seen in the show.

 

Simple? Very. Like blue or straw or yeah… zzz… (yeahberry. Hahaha.)

 

Now, there was this silly storyline wherein The Colons (sounds cancery), composed of Carlito and Primo, are at war with John Morrison and The Miz with winning the hearts of two ladies that are twins. And yeah, that’s it. They did a lumberjack (a lumberjack match means that no wrestlers in the ring can leave the match anytime until the match is finished as there are other wrestlers around to stop them from leaving… aaa… the things that you learn everyday) match to win the hearts of two ladies. Uh-huh.

 

It was really not part of the show. So, it was not televised. And it would be futile to watch this since these two teams have been going on and on every week in Raw or Smackdown or whatnot. (In short, medyo nakakasawa na sila.)

 

And who cares who won with that match. (Despite a unified tag team belt, as if those matches are interesting nowadays. Bring back the Legion of Doom, the Nasty Boyz, or even the Bushwackers.)

 

Now, I really don’t know why they officially started with the Ladder Match. There’s no pre-story here. It is one of those no need to create a storyline matches. It was sort of okay and I was hoping that Mvp or Christian would win but to no avail, Cm Punk won once again. Blech. And the match is so meh (like the kambing.)

 

The only amusing thing with the 25-diva battle royale is the one where you switch channels while this is being aired or you can even take a dump first and then go back when Santina Marella wins this shitty “match”. At least, there is humour in it.

 

And the cheesy storyline is that Santina Marella is the so-called twin sister of Santino Marella and “she” took out his lover, Beth Phoenix, out of the ring during the battle royal. And ho-hum, that’s it.

 

Silly humour is FTW.

 

One of the stupidest storyline that we have here is Chris Jericho taking on the so-called wrestling legends. Come on. Really?

 

This is just plain stupid, having Mickey Rourke go inside the ring, punching Chris and that’s it. In case you want to take a dump again, this was one of the instances that you can.

 

I don’t dare bother writing the pre-storyline for this one. It was kind of stupid.

 

Next is the Extreme Rules Match between the Hardys. Background storyline is that Matt Hardy did some vewwyyy bad thing to Jeff two months ago and Matt was, sort of, teaching Jeff a lesson about life and the birds and the bees.

 

At first, Jeff was hesitant to fight his brother but it came to a point where Matt “burned” Jeff’s house down and killed his dog… zzz…

 

And there is your pre-match storyline.

 

It would have been nice if the match had some high-flying kick-ass flying wrestling moves. But alas, we all went with your usual chair and tables “extreme” match.

 

What, no blood?

 

Dang! Ref… No foul!

 

The next match went to Rey Mysterio versus JBL. It was the fastest match in the show and it was nice to see JBL do some dramatic, “I quit!” on national television. It is worth watching if you know who JBL is.

 

(potah. Halos iiyak na si JBL. Naman naman diba.)

 

The fight with Shawn Michaels versus Undertaker is quite long. The story behind was kind of meh. There was this silly storyline before that where JBL made Shawn an alalay because Shawn can’t pay the rent (how believable, you’re paid big moolah and mauubos ang pera mo? Yeah right), etc and eventually Shawn became the so-called showstopper again and became the usual mayabang.

 

Then, he challenged Undertaker for a match in Wrestlemania. You see, Undertaker had a sort of winning tradition during Wrestlemania. His current standing is 16-0.

 

As I’ve said, the fight was long. And yeah Undertaker won. Again, how predictable.

 

The only amusing thing about the next match is the silliest of the silly where The Big Show, Vicky Guerrero, and Edge have a love triangle to which, epal lang si John Cena. The happiest thing about this is that John Cena can miraculously make the scene funny but the match has been always the same, though it was really amusing when he made buhat the two wrestlers and eventually won the belt.

 

And lastly, the fight between Orton and Triple H is really kind of amusing. You see, there was this one time in band camp where Triple H made an announcement that he is the husband of the daughter of the owner of WWE. So, it was real in a sense that it was fake making people believe that everything is real, with what Triple H said, despite us, the viewers, perfectly know that everything is scripted and despite Stephanie was kissed by Orton in the process.

 

Whew.

 

Triple H won. Yey.

 

--=+=--

 

So, why are you still watching this crap?

 

Well, the storylines are funny, why shouldn’t I watch it?

 

(ang haba pala ng sinulat ko... zzzz...)

I have a hunch that we’ll be going to my mom’s province for five years or so. I’m not sure if we’ll be able to go back there. Mainly, we don’t have any direct relatives left, except for my mom’s aunt who is ninety-four years old already. Other than that, there are a few cousins of my mom and it can still be a reason.

 

But of course, the purpose would probably be gone in case my lola passes away (if you’re not familiar with me and death, I say death so easily.)

 

In case this happens, I’d probably miss a lot of things.

 

I want to come up with a top ten with this but let’s do the usual bullet point story. And at the same time, this is like selling our province in San Miguel, Bulacan.

 

--=+=--

 

It would be really nice if this place is developed for tourism. I’ve been to Bohol and I’ve been to Lipa, and you’d be amazed at the tourism in these places.

 

You’re probably going to ask me on what you’ll be able to see in San Miguel. For one, if you’re familiar with the movie, Itim, then that house in the film is just right across our house. I’m fairly sure that this house is owned by the De Leon’s.

 

If you’re going jologs then, back track for a few years and if you remember Claudine Baretto and Carlos Agassi’s soap, it was also shot near the San Miguel church. I am again fairly sure that this is a real government place.

 

Then, there are three churches in that area (I’m not sure if there are more than I know of). There’s the big church of San Miguel (if you’re familiar with the story of the devil and San Miguel then you’ll see a statue of him with the sword), and minor churches, San Jose and San Vicente.

 

San Miguel has a high level of history since the Spanish occupied this area (much more the rest of Bulacan, I think.) Now, Good Friday is the best day to go here since we have a parade of ‘big karwahe’. Most (or few) of it are more than a century old. One of it is near our house, The Last Supper. (there are of course stories behind these but I just have to get the facts straight first before saying anything about it).

 

Now, this parade contains a total of forty karwahe(s) showing various saints and stations and any other religious figure. It is not considered a party since it should be solemn. It is awesome since they do this at night and you’ll see the various karwahe(s) with lights, etc.

 

If you happen to be in Baliuag, then you’d probably see eighty of these. Though it all started in San Miguel and I have to be biased here. Hehehe.

 

Lastly, the sweets will be always awesome in our area. If you’re familiar with the Sevilla sweets then, hello, this is where they originated (I’m fairly sure of this one, I’m just too tired to verify this to my mom mainly because it is four in the morning). If you’re familiar with pastillas de leche and other pastillas made goodies then this is the right place for that.

 

And yeah, mangoes too! Awesome mangoes.

Of the origins #

The powers of the Internet ‘have stroke’ errr… strikes (?) again. This time in a form a fabolous spin-off that most comic geeks (or geeks in general) have been waiting for.

If you happen to drop by those dvd stalls (the one that is pirated), you’d probably see some dvd covers with Hugh Jackman’s face on it. The one where he exactly looks like one of the X-men characters…

Yeah! That one where he looks like Storm… Sheesh.

So, if you’re really out of the loop a so-called copy of the X-men: Origins leaked out of the torrent world. Probably by one of the people behind the post-production team (duh).

Background first with what is currently happening with the case. You can check out updates on wiki or imdb for the latest news on who’s the real culprit. The FBI has been hunting down who leaked the almost made movie in the Internet. There were reports that this was done due to some people who hate the Fox people. Yeah, people are people.

--=+=--

Okay, here’s a review (I’m such a bastard neh? In fact, some employee of the Fox website or something like that, created a review of the film. Guess what. He was fired from his work. The movie is gonna be shown on the first week of May. You do the Math.)

Basically, Wolverine is the most exciting x-men character next to spiderman or even blankman… oh wait… I did say an x-men character… uhm… make it the wonderful emo world of Cyclops. Moving on…

And since Wolvie’s character is really colorful, they made a movie out of it.

And despite the film is just ninety percent finished, it is still awesome.

C’mon, there’s Hugh Jackman without Halle Berry or even Ian Mckellen. They’ve added new actors with the likes of the one who plays Sabretooth (I really can’t remember his name), a funny guy that can never be, for me, look serious Ryan Reynolds (who was Deadpool in the movie), and Will.I.Am (of the famous group, Milli Vanilli. Duh.)

There is probably one silly thing in the movie **spoiler alert**, the superhuman villain that they fought at the end. It was really silly. It was like Thanos with six of the gems all over again (this is an Infinity Gauntlet reference by the way).

And was that Emma Frost?

Oh yeah, Gambit!

I want to watch this in the big screen…

More geeky or nerdy stuff updates for today…

First off, drop by http://www.newworlds.ph for some fun fun fun prizes for a Fast and the Furious 4 contest. You have to drop by to the site if you want some Vin Dee-Dee Shell or Michelle Van Eimeren Roberto Rodriguez stuff.

No, they are not going to guest on Cool Center and you won’t get any of their signed clothing on the show.

And yes, you are only going to get some F & F 4 (or Final and Fantasy 4 or Fantastic and Four 4, duh) stuff in the site. I don’t feel like joining, but if you want some pree, free, fri stuff then taralets na, let’s join us.

(this advert is not paid by any of the new world’s management… hehehe.)

--=+=--

Now, I should’ve posted this last Friday but since I am so lazy, yeah…

So, earlier we dropped by again at Open Gaming Meet (or OGM, short for Oh God My…). This is a monthly… err… wait… I did post something like this weeks or months ago and I don’t it is necessary for me to explain crap again and again and again.

If you’re interested in playing board games, if you are bored and wearing board shorts, then drop by OGM, the website is: http://www.TabletopWars.com

I feel like posting something like this for today since I won (yey) a game called Burn Rate, the dot-com card game.

(Wala lang) It feels like I want to share to the world that I won something recently since I bought another game in Landes the other day, Scene It! TCM edition.

Segue-way…

I still don’t have anyone to play with with that Scene It! Game.

If you’re familiar with Scene It (and it is not your crotch my dear), then you’d like this edition if you are a ‘classic movie’ lover. And yes, I am calling all those movie lovers to play me… err… play with me.

--=+=--

And from here on, I’ll be posting what I’ve tried in OGM (and this will make you bored out of your wits, so beware.)

I played A Game Of Thrones.

And that’s it.

Yey.

Seriously, it is like a military game based from a novel. It took us three hours to play it but it can be learned by every one including those who love F4 and loves to put garbanzos in their halo-halo.

And yes, it is fun! So, again, taralets na! Let’s join us!

(what a useless thing to say…)

Of the ran #

It ain’t Kurosawa’s movie y’all. Hehehe.

Picking up something new during the summer or even from an unknown reason (probably one the “fuck it” reasons that you might encounter) is a good thing.

… most of the time.

Obviously, you don’t have to do some sicky or kinky vices. You always go for something that would help your health. Like kwek-kwek binging, male-nipple biting or even slap-the-wrist. The last one is non-sensical, like life.

I know a lot of people right now who are into photography, swimming, and badminton-ing.

And I chose to choose (insert smiley here) running. Not just for today or for this month but probably for as long as I’m willing to run and if I’m still enjoying it.

It was quite fantabolous when I told my momma about this:

Me: Ma, tumatakbo na ko.

Momma: E bakit mo naman papahirapan ang sarili mo?

Me: A… e… parang pag-ibig lang naman yan, pahirap…

(the last line was not part of our conversation…)

Now, all sports or hobbies always have a goal and probably my goal for today is to at least have a good stamina and to make my heart better.

And also, since I bought new shoes (you have to wear running shoes if you’re planning on taking up this sport), I told myself that I have to run the number of times that I should have a breakeven whenever I am playing bowling. Or something like that…

--=+=--

I am thanking my officemate and the new group I’m in, the running bananas (oh, you might not want to know why they are called running bananas. I’ll tell you personally why they are named like that, but not here). These fine fellas welcomed me as if I was their long lost girlfriend. Or something like that… again.

I just had my third run last Thursday. I am currently injured with my left knee and I’m planning to run on Tuesday and on Thursday (in Ortigas).

By the way, we are running in Ultra during Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 in the evening. Though I’m not sure if they’ll be extra happy if I bring in hordes of my friends who wants to run (though they might like it… hopefully…)

Zzzz… stretched…
