A (New) Ray of Light (9.26.9)

Note: If I die after this post, you know who probably done it. Having became a slave for the past three weeks now and counting, doing OT at Saturdays (yeap, including that one Holiday too) and nights I should be under the covers, I have missed my Saturday movie dates, the news, blogging, regular internet time and other stuff that I barely have heard of this news if weren't for Yahoo. In case you didn't have the same situation as mine but have barely heard of this then this must be not worthy of a headline at all. Ask me and I'd say it probably is. No offense to those who think this is of course. On preview it said that Congress has passed a bill or whatever it is that they call it to modify, yes modify, our flag and add a new ray to our sun. No, I can barely remember what all the rays stand for but I'm 99% sure one of the rays stands for Cavite-- one of the provinces that played a huge part in the Independence most of us take for granted nowadays. It said

Noynoy Who? (9.26.9)

Note: I'm not anti-Noynoy. If I get to live the rest of my life after this post it just means that Democracy still runs in the country. If I didn't then one of these two succeding posts may have done it (haha XD). I assume you haven't read my late Mrs. Aquino post so I'm saying again, I wasn't even in my mom's womb yet when the First Female President started her term. So her supposedly memory of mine wasn't only vague, I didn't have the ability to understand yet. So basically I am not those of my age who suddenly declared their inspired spirits after her death as if they had any idea. Years in school taught me of the Aquino family. I know Ninoy and Cory. Not their full achievements of course, but I get the idea of who they are and their part in our history. It's no secret too that they're the parents of a celebrity that may die when you say to her face you don't know her. They're also the parents of some Ballsy person I am only familiar

Campus Road Trip (9.20.9)

Rating: ★ Category: Movies Genre: Kids & Family I wasn't thinking of anything when I decided to watch this on Star Movies. I was hoping that since Lawrence is around I should at least watch it. It was a bit funny, but usually with the part of the pig. The plot isn't even new and having watched movies with Dads having a hard time letting go of their kids made this quite boring compared to the rest. They even went as far as adding outrageous scenes, the top in the list is that sky diving part. And that part where Raven was doing a song number? Argh. It wasn't even catchy. Not a recommend, but not that annoying either. Either way, I don't think this is something worth remembering at all.

Why is there a Cosplay.ph on MIBF?!! (9.19.9)

Oh yes! I don't have any photo though, BUT it doesn't erase the fact that they had an exhibit there. They even have a larger booth than Visprint Publishing! I haven't even recovered from the last "comic con" I was in where they've totally stole the spotlight away from the comic artists who are suppose to be garnering the attention and now this? Is this some awareness program of some sort? But why in a Book Fair? Don't we have too many cosplays already? Isn't the attention enough? There's even a cosplay contest in TV5 for Pete's sake! I know I go to cosplay cons, and it's obvious with most of my album/blog posts but this? They're probably invade the next comic con on Megamall (I said from a much more previous Komikon Summer post that I don't take it as a good news for us indies to be moving from Bahay ng Alumni to Megamall because I fear most of them cosplayers don't care nor are aware of our existence anyway) as usual but can t

Manila International Book Fair (9.19.9)

If it wasn't for the RD Humor issue father brought home I wouldn't have had known of this fair. Goody they even have a free pass so I came, though late with meeting my female officemate, I was genuinely enthusiastic. No, there wasn't that signature smell of old and new books but my eyes were so wide taking everything in. But books are everywhere, left, right and center (an HP joke) that we don't know where to start. Officemate wanted to look for this comic series I introduced her so we scoured the halls looking for it only to find out that they sell it same priced compared to regular bookstores. She was hoping it would be priced less but it wasn't. We even missed the author himself because he came yesterday. It was also weird finding this publisher, who have been successful most of the time with their authors/comic artists to a wide range of audience, at the very back and can easily be missed. We almost didn't find it if it weren't for the map. We almost

Jabbawockeez (9.5.9 - 9.6.9)

(If the spell above ain't right don't hate me alright?) 9.5.9 Saturday I didn't know them before my sister insisted on coming. Working at an office in Alabang she pleaded me to accompany her only that I can't because I'm occupied with overtime work at that particular Saturday, our first attempt. She came alright, but what, hours before it started. If I was to come with her from Cavite I could have suggested for us to have left at around 4:30 and not on that terminal where I used to ride a shuttle from-- waiting there takes forever, believe me, unlike the one where I now go to, who also have a dispatcher with a sunny disposition anyone would be amused of always coming back. Anyways, so she came at around 8, (I, however, logged off and came to ATC 30 mins earlier inspite of the heavy traffic going there, when my waiting was spent on National Bookstore where I bought 3 books on a cutoff sale, The Robe, Blaze and a Kindaichi Files Manga) where at that time you'd

Oh No Kanye, You Didn't! (9.15.9)

No, it's not an excuse I rarely watch music videos nor award shows that I can't have a say on this issue. First of all Kanye is such a prick and a notorious guy. Through the years he's in the music industry all he showed is his rage and how foul mouthed of a guy he is. And now he ranted his insecurities and jealousy towards Taylor Swift, a promising singer/song writer. The incident goes on with Kanye gate crashing over Taylor's acceptance speech for an award saying that there are more videos 'greater' than hers. What he did is just too immature of him and a clear tv broadcast bullying. The nerve of this guy who can't accept that there is this young girl, who may not be as long in the industry as he is, but accepts recognition from various award giving bodies. Too bad for him that Taylor is so successful nowadays that her SOLO ACTS are hits unlike his. I know that I may not be eligible to be called a music lover but I can give you 5 songs that she made big
