Batman

DAnaNAnaNAnaNAnaNAnaNAnaNAnaNAna BATMAN!

GP, Jojo, Leo, Pia, Elaine and I watched Batman Begins 2 days ago @ the powerplant mall.

One good thing I’ve noticed about superhero flicks nowadays is that they focus on the humanity (or psyche) of the hero. Which is a good thing as it makes the movies better. Spiderman2, Incredibles, etc. etc. now Batman.

No need to say that the movie was excellent. I have 3 complaints about it though:

It kinda destroyed the continuity… you can’t really connect it to the first (Burton) Batman anymore. Which is a waste since the first Batman can still hold its own against this – I was hoping they would come hand-in hand.
Katie Holmes sucked! Lousy lousy lousy! Her “sucking,” should just be a verb instead of an adjective, maybe that would make her more useful.
The dialog kinda went down a little when he finally became the Batman.

But other than those few peeves, it really was good. The best superhero flick to date. And it makes me worry (or excited) about how Fantastic 4 would perform.

Of the days that passed

Been a while since I posted, but too much has happened for me to recall every detail so I’ll try to summarize everything.

Early last week, GP, Mr. Jojo, and I watched Madagascar. We tried the premiere theater in Shangri-la (the 300 peso-ish, unlimited popcorn and drink theater). Hilarious movie. I loved those penguins!

Late last week, BP was in Tagaytay for Paola’s wedding. The “kid” of BP (which is ironic since she’s older than most of the newer members including ME) was finally getting hitched. They reserved a cottage for the group in Caleruega… about 10 meters away from the church, which made it extremely easy for us to sleep late and wake up late and still make it without breaking a sweat.

Unfortunately, I developed a severe cough which killed my voice come the reception.

Sunday evening, upon returning home GP and I went to the DWTL mass, but only for the mass, I couldn’t sing since my voice was shot to hell. Glad to see some of the “oldies” still there at least for the Mass.

That same night, we met up with JD, Pia, and Leo (of ACS) to watch Sin City (finally!). All I can say is that I love Jessica Alba. She is a goddess.

Yesterday probably deserves its own post so I’ll stop right here for now.

Nawawala, bumabalik… eto nanaman.

Has it been that long since I posted? Oh well just prove’s that GP is indeed back, as he is here to destroy our lives once again hahaha. That is how we describe his “influence” on people since he can manage to screw anyone’s daily routines because everyone likes hanging out with him.

Anyways, so a bunch of days ago I get a call from him on my cell:

GP: So, kelan natin sisimulan ang atin Berklee tutorial? ME: (jokingly) Ikaw, anytime… how about now? GP: cge ME / GP: (pause) GP: Meron ka ba cellphone na pede mahiram? ME: Even if I did have an extra cellphone, how will I be able to get it to you since nasa US ka at nasa pinas ako. GP: Nasa Pinas din ako ME: (swearing like crazy) – Ano gimmick? Punta na ako diyan!!!

Back on track?

Got my replacement 200GB drive 4 days ago. The people from the shop were kind enough to give me one of their sale units instead of having to wait for the actual replacement from the manufacturer/distributor. Actually this shouldn’t have been an issue in the first place as far as warranties are concerned… but since this is the Philippines, I’m glad there wasn’t any red-tape involved 😉

Peecee power!

I was happily computing 2 nights ago, when my “table” collapsed. You see, I have this small adjustable table which is right in the middle of my main PC (windows) and bed. That’s where I usually place my laptop and incidentally, my 200GB external drive (which contains my music, work, ebooks, and incomplete anime).

For some reason, the support suddenly gave way, which sent the top part crashing down, along with the stuff on it. Luckily, my Powerbook was on the bed at the time, but my hard drive wasn’t as lucky.
