Another film people around me kept on saying it wasn’t worth seeing. Why?! Have I seen a different version? For me it really is good. It’s just a bit unfair they don’t see the beauty of it. I was actually hoping that the reason why they (most of whom who didn’t like it were males) was seeing Depp in a musical. I’ve watched prior that Burton wanted the actors to use their own voices (something our ‘artistas’ would never do even with a gun on their heads and when they have the nerve to you’d wishing you had a gun pointed at your head) and I think that their dedication towards their craft really shows (I really like Carter’s voice. It’s so cute!!!).

I don’t know it with you guys but there is something really engrossing in stories set on such time line, all the corsets, murky sewers, soot all over London and the pale skin. It just seems so riveting. Not to mention the accent too.

The wickedness of the characters were well played, I mean would you ever expect anything less with the actors on the roles?! They act like they were born on that era! I also liked how it ended, that part where the kid killed the barber Todd who was mourning over killing his wife. What I didn’t like though was the loose end on the part of Johanna, in which she wasn’t able to meet her parents and find out the sick truth in her family history. It would have been cool to see her eventually learn everything and ended in the asylum for real but I guess Burton ended it in such a way where he left it to the audience if they wanted a happy ending or not. All in all I think this movie was brilliant, definitely the top of Burton-Depp collaboration something my inspiration Sir Poe (Edgar Allan) would be *proud.


*He may not be affiliated at all but this I believe is around his genre.

    Trivia . Nick Gilder was in band called Sweeney Todd. With a guy named Bryan Adams. The same Bryan Adams worked in an off campus bar from my campus. But despite my age it was more than a decade before I went to school there. www.sfu.ca

T&J Weds: Getting a License at the Mandaluyong City Hall during the Pandemic (2021)

-
Image
As of writing, our application for a license is now on the way. We were able to do everything in one day with not much hassle but it took some hours to finish since we started the process. It's a bit different than before but man, I love that we didn't have to take a leave on another day (other than getting the license obviously).  Requirements 1. CENOMAR -PSA copy, 210 PHP at SM Business Center; will take almost 2 weeks 2. Birth Certificate - PS copy, 155 PHP at SM Business Center; will take a week 3. Government IDs with Mandaluyong address. Old bills, minimum 6 months prior can be submitted as well in lieu. I prepared 3 bills for this, Meralco, Globe and Assoc Dues and the processor only got the Meralco one (photocopy). I don't have IDs with Mandaluyong address but bothered to photocopy my other government IDs bearing our Cavite address and my condo's IDs but those weren't accepted.  4. Application Form - submitted and filled out in triplicate. 5. CEDULA - Can be...

TME: Getting your NBI Clearance Easy

Image
UPDATE (10/25/2013) As I've visited their site , GCASH won't be a form of payment for them from now on. You may now choose to leave this link as it is now obsolete as of this writing. I may try to write the different mode of payment in the near future. UPDATE(13/01/2014) Here's the new, updated and lazier version  < this is clickable just so you know. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I will not explain the full details, but me and my office mates regularly need an NBI Clearance. It's one of my most hated moments because it is so time consuming. Yes the process is as fast as they can make it, but you only need to see the extremely long queue to give up getting one during lunch break. So, when one of our office mates found a fast track option a whole lot of us instantly grabbed the chance. There are about 3 steps in getting an NBI clearance (payment, encoding, picture taking) and all involves different sets of queues and wh...

SNAP: BPI Express Credit Card: Ridiculously fast.

-

I did say before how I try my best to stay credit card free except for my trusty eprepaid card . What ended that promise and what bothers me now is how I got one in the first place. This is seriously weird, and fast at the same time... and I haven't even applied to them!! Tuesday. Received a call from BPI That I am eligible for a card. The only thing they ever asked was where I was working. After that I was told that they'd be sending my card anytime soon. Friday. Text from BPI saying my card was approved. What? Saturday. Noon. I received my card (LBC) with a credit limit far from the 10k limit I was prepared for. If I want something more than that I will pay in cash but never in credit.  Why do they have to give me this tempting limit at all?! Why?! So what just happened anyway? Monday-Tuesday I was in contact with a Citibank person after a referral of an officemate. Thursday they called the house and so far not anything from them yet. The mysterious t...
