Si Twitter, Si Batman at ang mga G*G* kong KAIBIGAN
This is the most boring-tiring day of my life!
I woke up and -as my daily routine- i checked out my twitter account. But (holy crap!) I can’t access it through my mobile phone! I’LL DIE!!! I don’t have an access to the internet but my phone, and since the day that I attached my self from tweeting… I surely can’t live – and LEAVE, since I’m tweeting on the go- without it! A few more tries… Damn! Ok… Maybe later.
9am
I watched The Dark Knight. Yeah, I know it’s a bit late. I just got the DVD, and boy was it good! I love it! I haven’t watched Batman Begins yet, but i really liked it’s sequel. I’m a weird kid, ain’t I? Well…
2 pm
Off to meet my friends. Kung nababasa n’yo ‘to, PUTA! NGAYON KO KAYO TITIRAHIN!
Ma.Rosario Gacad planned for us to meet. But because of her PMS, brain problem or her natural craziness, she cancelled it. Days passed, she texted me “JL!!! 2loy pla tau bukas. Sa gate 2! Dun sa nilabasan ni Malyn nung sinoli n’ya yung New Moon mo. Hihintayin ka dun ni Morris! Ok? Ok! Ay”.
Few hours more, nagtext dun ung isa pang gagong si Morris Danzen Catanghal!
“El, punta ka bukas ah. Madami taung paguusapan,hehe. I’ve read your blog already, Ako lang yata nagbabasa ng blog mo,hehe”
That’s brighter than sunshine! We’re meeting today… But then, the ever-crazy Rosario texted “Hay, uuwi na ‘ko, babu!” when I am ON MY WAY! Knowing that Morris is waiting at Gate2, I proceeded.
GATE 2, 2 PM
No Morris! Even his damn little shadow didn’t show up. Dammit! My almost one hour ride was wasted, and was about to take an hour more to go home. And fuck! I just arrived!
I decided to go in an internet cafe to blog about this lunatics friends (oh my God! Yes! I CALL ‘EM FRIENDS) of mine. Gosh, no space… So i decided to go home and just type this article on my phone and post it tomorrow (today!)
if I ever written this earlier, you could not stand to read what’s on my mind!
To Ma.Rosario Gacad and Morris Danzen Catanghal… NAGMUKHA AKONG TANGA DUN! NAGSAYANG LANG AKO NG EFFORT!!!
At ikaw Morris, sana nga ikaw lang ang nagbabasa ne’to. I know, you wouldn’t want anyone to read what’s in here. Sad to say, one of my post got 95 views today. Bwahahaha…
Okay, enough of the two of you…
It’s now 10pm, and Twitter Mobile is still not working. Is it just me? I don’t know, I haven’t talked to anyone who’s using it too. I’m sure a lot of replies are waiting… And yeah, my 88 followers, i miss you too! Haha.. My 64 friends/followings, I’m missing reading your updates. I miss my twitter gossip buddies! @gossipboy16, @astroboyisgay, @jspotnigarma, @adrian0494.
I wonder who’s @PerezHilton’s twitter foe of the day. And how many inspiring tweets of @johncmeyer and @petewentz i missed. Did @adamlambert updated his account? Oh my, I hope I’ll have my twitter mobile back tomorrow.
P.S. to my Gossip Buddy, thanks for mentioning my site on your post.
I believe in Harvey Dent!
Peace!
Tranformers, Adam Lambert, Happiness and anything goes…
I’ve watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen three days ago, and i was really amazed. Whoa, amazed? I’ve used that word in every movie and i think, that’s an understatement. It’s actually my treat for myself for passing a series of job interview that very day. And it’s the best treat i could’ve gotten my self. Initial interview, analytical, grammar, technical test plus language interview… That’s tough man! Although I am not hired yet, I’m more than happy. Given my poor educational background (Only a High School Graduate) and I have no working experience, it’s so amazing (there’s that word again) to kick college graduates’ -with enough working experiences- butts! That sounds so cocky, but that lifts my ego into 101%, so, the hell you care!
Wait, I don’t mean to be rude. Remember, I’m happy right now! Yes, happy that Adam Lambert reached number one on both RX and MAGIC (2 leading radio stations in the Philippines). Happy that I’m starting to get followers on twitter. I’m so glad that i’m getting a lot of views -and a bit of comments- on this site. And finally, I’ve seen Megan Fox on the big screen again. I’m inlove Oh my Jeez!
There are a lot of songs that make me happy these days. Jesse McCartney’s In My Veins and Body Language… Fantastic! 21 Guns by Greenday -yes! From Transformers- I’m thinking of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Sam and Mikaela respectively when i hear it. Jordin Sparks’ Battlefied — I love you Ryan Tedder! And of course my ever love Adam Lambert’s Mad World!
For the record, i don’t know what would be the title of this article. I planned to do a review of Transformers, but I got carried away. So, ’til next time!

ANGELS AND DEMONS… AMAZING!

ANGELS AND DEMONS
I have seen Angels & Demons yesterday and boy it is good! It has a lot of changes from the book, particularly the charmalego’s nationality to Irish. Another one is, the Kohler gave Robert Langdon a key to access a computer, while in the book he gives him a ‘video’. And if i never missed anything, Vittoria was never kidnapped!
It isn’t as anti-Christ as the daVinci Code. The truth is, the church is on the side of good guys here.
Ewan McGregor outshines Tom Hanks as the Charmalengo. I don’t know if it’s just me, but man, the character is so appealing. I love the helicopter scene, and the parachute… It’s just incredibly amazing! I haven’t read the book (i just heard those book information from a friend) so i was really surprised by the events. The guys that you believed are good were the bad ones and vice versa. I don’t want to spoil it in case you’re planning to watch it too, so i won’t tell who’s who.
Howard did an amazing job. Maybe because Angels is less popular compared to the controversial DaVinci and he felt less preassured. Well, i like Sophie more than Vittoria. But all in all, the movie is satisfying and entertaining, which is why we’re really coming to movies. To get entertained.
TAYONG DALAWA and MAY BUKAS PA ENDING (From the original script)
Ok, I’ve been so harsh on my remarks about Filipino movies. Especially, those who are inspired by Hollywood movies and those same-old-same romantic comedies. But i found myself liking the TV series which were obviously – yet uncredited – inspired by foreign movies.
Kim Chui and Gerald Anderson’s Sana Maulit Muli is somewhat familiar with Jennifer Love Hewitt’s If Only. Love, death.. Second chance.
Blood and Chocolate i think is the inspiration of Lobo (Piolo Pascual and Angel Locsin).
Meanwhile, the first teaser of ‘MAY BUKAS PA’ is ‘MARCELINO. It gave the inspiration away, obviously from the Spanish classic ‘MARCELINO PAN Y VINO. Though they changed the miracle boy’s name to Santino. I admire this story since i was a child. ABS-CBN aired it’s animated version and got me crying at the end. Unlike the other TV series, i saw the original author’s name on the credit. And i was wishing that ABS would stick to it’s original inspirational-tear-jerker ending. That would leave Santino’s mark to the audience memorable and profoundly moving.
SPOILER!
If they’ll follow the original story… Santino will die at the end! Jesus (or in this case.. BRO) would ask him what would make him happy.
‘I want to see my mother
and yours, after wards.
You’ll shed rivers of tear after Jesus grant his wish by saying ‘Go to sleep’.
I want this ending so badly! So please, kill Santino in the end…
Enough of Santino. Next one is really the reason why I’m writing this. After seeing the May 01 episode of ‘TAYONG DALAWA’, i was really amazed! I’m a fan of the series since day one, and i really admire how they expand the story. I mean, if i got this right.. The plot is similar to ‘PEARL HARBOR’ (Josh Harnett, Ben Affleck). Friendship, brotherhood, love, war, military. But, the back-story of each character is creative enough that you could forget it’s similarity to Pearl ‘fucking’ Harbor. And in my case, forget my strong dislike to Jake ‘fucking’ Cuenca.
ANOTHER SPOILER!
If this if Pearl Harbor… Audrey will get pregnant, of course Jay-R is the father. But the sad (yet exciting..ow) part is, Jay-R will die for the sake of the innocent people’s safety in a war. Dave will take Jay-R’s responsibility (as what Jay-R wants) and will take good care of Audrey and his child.
Dying is the newest trend of Philippine series’ ending, huh? Well, they could think of a better ending, but for me, the original will always be the best.
I heard that both May Bukas Pa and Tayong Dalawa will be aired in Malaysia, Indonesia and even in Europe soon.
And for the first time… I’m proud to be a Filipino!

PEARL HARBOR

TAYONG DALAWA
THE INVISIBLE (Den Osynlige)
One of my favorite science-fiction movies! Check-out the trailer…
GETTING TO KNOW TWILIGHT

- THE TWILIGHT SAGA
Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn
Midnight Sun
I really don’t have an idea on how huge Twilight is. I’ve once seen the book, read the back cover (What’s it called?) and it caught my attention.
‘There are three things i was absolutely positive:
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, There’s a part of him – and i don’t know how dominant that part might be – that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I’m unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.’
oh! The narrator is in love with a bloodsucker!
Okay, i liked it. But did nothing with it.
Weeks passed. I was listening to a weekly countdown on the radio. There is a segment there, where they’ll play two new songs and the listeners will vote on what song would be the ‘pick of the week’.
The first song is Leona Lewis’ Forgive Me. And the second one, a Paramore song (they’re song That’s What You Get is so popular that time). What surprised me is when the jockey said that ‘Leona Lewis is having a hard time because she’s not only against Paramore, but ‘TWILIGHT’ fans as well. Yup, the song is Decode! Obviously, it won the pick of the week challenge. And right there, i learned that the book that caught my attention weeks ago, is having it’s film adaptation. I also knew that it was a huge bestselling series with four books being published.
I watched the film. It’s great that i can’t help to send my friends some quoted movie lines from Twilight. And then i discovered that another friend back in high school is also a huge fan! We’re always sharing trivia until i end up calling her ‘Bella’, and I’m ‘Edward’. Courtesy of my Isabella Marie Swan, i finally read the book! And it was better although my favorite forest scene is not there, instead it happened in the car.When i viewed the movie again, i realized that the thrill is really meant to be in the book and not in a movie. I also don’t like Robert Pattinson and i hate it when he’s on my mind whenever I’m reading the book.
As of this moment, I’ve read New Moon (a gift from a friend) and Eclipse(again, courtesy of my friend Bella.)
Breaking Dawn? Well, soon!
TWILIGHT
I really like the idea of a human falling dangerously (literally!) inlove with a so-known bad creature.
NEW MOON
A great sequel! I heard about the original sequel called ‘Forever Dawn’. Bella said it’s just like ‘breaking dawn’. Maybe it’s like BD without the New Moon and Eclipse.
Back on NM, it’s good, yes, but i don’t like it as much as twilight.
ECLIPSE
wow! Damn, it’s so…well, there’s no exact word to describe on how good it was. A lot of things happened here, Jacob remained as a major characted and he’s sometimes irritating. Bella is a flirt, that’s the best way to describe her here. The character’s roots we’re told here in details. From how Rosalie and Jasper became a vampire to why Jacob’s descendants transformed into wolves. I also like it’s ending, the story could stop here.
BREAKING DAWN
A lot of things will happen! Bella and Edward will walk down the aisle. Bella getting pregnant and transform into a strong immortal. And Jacob finally found his soul mate… Bella’s daughter!
MIDNIGHT SUN
A retelling of Twilight in Edward’s perspective. It’s exciting knowing that Edward could hear other people thoughts, and he’ll share it with us! This isn’t finished yet, and it’s potential to be published is still in jeopardy.. Oh please Stephenie!
Stephenie Meyer is planning on expanding the ‘TWILIGHT SAGA’ series in the perspective of either Renesmee or Leah Clearwater. Good luck!
I just found this video, Joe Jonas is forcefully attached to play Edward Cullen, i hate Joe, but i think he’s better than Rob Patt.
Check it out!
Where Is Zac Efron?
I’ve been waiting for about a year for this movie to come out. The release date has been move a couple of times. Until finally, 17again hit the theaters in the Philippines, 2 days ahead in the United States. I waited for days to pass, so that the moviegoers will decrease. I hate falling in line to buy movie tickets, and i hate mobbed cinemas! 5 days after the release date, i decided that it’s now time. I checked the website of the sm mall that im going to, just to be sure. Got’cha! It’s there! So the plan will pull through.
T2
THE HAUNTING
NEW IN TOWN
…and so on
Where the hell is Zac Efron? I can’t believe this! It’s on the site!
But because i’m always ready for this kind of situations.. I had 3 more options. But what kind of jinx i’m wearing that day? The Uninvited (A Tale of Two Sisters) was not there. Friday the 13th just pulled out and so as Dragonball Evolution.
What the fuck?
Right now, i’m planning to watch a local comedy movie, i know it won’t happen again this time. But, do i have to choose a local movie just to be sure that it’s there? Alright, for laughing trips i can. But how about my favorite? Horror, sci-fi.. Oh no, I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than to see those ‘uncredited’ or ‘loosely inspired by Hollywood’ local movies.
I know, this predicament won’t happen on New Moon as Twilight stayed on cinemas for 5weeks i think, or more. It pulled out because of the film festival.
But please, don’t let this happen for Final Destination: Death Trip!
I’ll die!

17 AGAIN

FINAL DESTINATION IV: DEATH TRIP
