Drive-in my Saturday..
July 16, 2005Saturday morning..i woke up at about 8 am.Turned on my pc and have some breakfast.These past days,i was kind of tired after the trainings so i wasnt able to update my blog(too lazy to do even the uploads!haha).Currently i’m listening to my recently aquired cds,from the PUTUMAYO section of tower records.I bought the “Latin groove” and “Rumba Flamenco” compilations.These two is great for relaxing,makes you feel your on a beach/island in vacation.haha.After my breakfast,while im listening to the cds,im also reading a book “internet programming with vbscript & javascript” because i just want to learn more(self study daw!haha) these knowledge though can give you an edge for jobs.I’m also studying some publishing programs late last night like “Quark Xpress” and more of flash “actionscripting”..im eager to learn all that our “marketing front” school cannot offer.haha.I also want to learn unix programming(too ambitious!LOL).Last night after that self study things,i watched “La Mala Educacion” a spanish film directed by Pedro Almodovar,its really provocative and original.I’ll review it later!Have a nice weekend to all!
early issues
July 13, 2005A usual day today except for the news.I was early at the office,we did some simulations and other work related things and be dissmissed early.Lunchtime,we went to megamall to eat and do window shopping(but i did buy a few things).From office to megamall,we walked.Into the mall,the restos are full so we decided to go up to 4th floor to eat there..we had a great lunch.After that i bought some blank cds and magazines to read.haha.By 2pm,we parted our ways and im off to the mrt station.im planning earlier to go to fully booked but i have to give something for my friend’s thesis(hey Goodluck to you all!).I’ll update you later on my latest music and movie.
They will..
July 10, 2005
Today i was a bit tired coming from my friend’s house.We had the usual “tambay” ritual.haha.We ended up doing soundtrips,kulitan and later on ordering pizzas(with extra extra chili!).A great second one!haha.But bit off though,the barkada is not complete.The fencing geek is with his cousin that time and the egg geek is on the otherside of the world!haha.While soundtriping,we also watched comedy central shows.Certainly,im not complete inside myself(read past entries) i called her last night,she seems fine.Just to hear her voice brings me comfort and turns away my worries.In that span of time being with your closest friends,i was quite contented.Past 2 am or so we got to nap a little bit and earlier morning we ended up watching a movies including a great one “taegukgi”.I’ve seen it a couple of times before.It’s a story of two brothers in the korean war,The older one kept protecting and sacrificing for his little brother.He even got a medal of honor for his brother(a medal of honor then is equal to a soldier’s wish or demand).His little brother though cannot really understand why his elder one keep sacrificing,doing things and have the undying support for him.The cost of the medal cost some lives of thier platoon too but his older one is very eager putting his life in every offense they are engaging on for the medal and eventually,he can send his little brother home again.”if only one of us will live,i want it to be you.You are the only hope of our family” quoted from the movie.Thats a snippet of the movie for you!i will write a full review of it when i get my blog in normal working condition again(experiencing some errors).We ate(a not so luch meal,goofy instants but an enjoyable one) after seeing the movies at about past lunchtime then headed back again to talks,sound trips and camera trips.When it’s time to go about late afternoon,We said goodbyes and till next times..sure it will..This Has Been our ritual..haha.I commuted with duds(a.k.a Lockjaw),while we were on the trip,i started again to think of her,the what ifs and hows,and a lot of other interrogatives going through my mind about her.And then the thoughts of the morals in the movie taegukgi came out from nowhere.The movie strengthened my belief on my current motto “In this world,all are illussions.You Just have to decide what would be true.” The ending of the film was a tearjerker(It’s all for you to know) i garantee for most of who will view it..Endline,The movie is really emphasizing on a person’s will,heart,love and sacrifice for his closest ones.And somehow that is all you need to make the difference.If you have to give your 200% of all your capabilities,love and understanding for the ones who matters most to you.Even If They and others can’t understand why.But,Someday they will.THEY WILL.

Japan-nice!
July 8, 2005This week,the first trailer of king kong invaded Japan.It’s a bit suprising
that it included an introduction by peter jackson(like a classic film
with intros from the director). It’s Quite great.In wellington now,they
are still busy editing the final picture and enhancing kong to be much
more realistic.Possibly the kong premiere will be on two
cities,wellington and new york on december.Meantime watch PJ’s
introduction of his latest film.click here(flash required).
War Pigs!
A tough day.Considering all the political issues of our country that came out today.People again protesting on the streets while the greedy polititians are busy brainwashing and lambasting the minds of the common people to fight and urging them to move against the current administration.If they would be successful doing that,Who will control our system?The same old greedy politicians who only want power,because power is everything in our country.Yeah right! and the Sagas would go on until Edsa will be like a tele-series that never seem to have and end going around and around with the same characters!Or Should i say another “Acting President?”whew! only here in the philippines! All i can say to these current situations is people specially the youth should speak thier own mind and think rather than be brainwashed by thunderous nonsense speeches of the opposing faction.That’s why our brain is on our head,not on our feet,Because its an instict to think first.We must follow the rules of law so we will end up in a more stable country..There is a saying “In philippines,Law is a suggestion” Well It’s True!..A great song for this time is Black Sabbath’s ‘War Pigs’ haha.I’m a fan of thiers. It was originally written for the vietnam war and the politics then.It can apply to this present situation.This is for the politicians who doesnt know what they are doing to this country because they are not the ones experiencing the effects of the actions they made or will do,they care only about thier families,thier mansions,thier luxury cars they have and doesnt really give a damn to those common people as long as they have the power,Thats It.
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death’s construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait ’till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!
Sunshines and Reflections
July 7, 2005Today.Nonetheless,a good day.But there is a missing big chunk of my puzzle without it i cant be complete everyday.Im longing for you.I know its a contrast that i have to adjust by myself.But everytime i adjust i cant seem to find the right blend,only too dark or too light without you.Im trying hard though,for the better of both of us..Come sunshine,early this morning i was eager to get up to go to my training.I was walking through the ortigas stretch by 9am.Nothing was new,mcdonald’s is fully loaded,cars passing by,buildings are still there the overpass on emerald ave. is nearly finished and the sun shines down on me.One thing new though is my songs on my player.When i passed by the overpass, it played Duran Duran’s ‘Ordinary World’.It grabbed my attention!The lyrics felt like i was the one described by the song.haha.It’s a melodramatic song yet an uplifting one.As i cruised emerald ave.the song kept playing as im nearing the entrance of the office,It made me think that somewhere and somehow,”i’ll find the missing peice of my puzzle again and be more careful of keeping it so that it would not be lost again”,As i looked up to the top of the tall buildings and The light of the sun reflects on thier windows.It made me feel comforted for a while holding on to that thought as i went inside the office.This song is for you.I’m lucky though It’s not a rainy thursday,It would be a tearjerker for me if it rained earlier morning.haha!
Note: (I still cry for yesterday..haha.trying not to)
Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can’t escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away
But I won’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
“Pride will tear us both apart”
Well now pride’s gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some’d say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
But I won’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
And I don’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world
World Music and Kong Updates
July 5, 2005I recently bought this putumayo(music company specializing in world music) cd called “nuevo latino” which features a great collection of island/hispanic music.Really loved the tracks on the cd with its soothing tunes.A great cd to have but prices of these Putumayo cds are a bit high,mainly priced at 600-1000+ php,compared to regular 400 peso cds because its imported(i hope there would be a sale of these cds!,so i can buy a few more!) haha.
Here are some pics from the production diary.24 weeks to go!
PJ supervising the editing process.
the Premiere of “War of the Worlds” with the teaser of kong at
The Embassy,Wellington NZ.(Kong trailer got a thunderous applause
than the featured film!haha)
Choose-day
Well,It was’nt well today considering the weather.It Makes me think backwards when it rains “nostalgia”..haha.I got up early only to chew up my breakfast,then back again to bed for another 2 hours or so.I got up again by past 10am,called up the trainer “saying that i’ll be late/sir traffic eh!” haha.I arrived there minutes before lunchtime so naturally when i got in the room,nobody was in.I did go down again to have a break also,but i can’t find my co-trainees(i guessed they are in the mall that time).So i picked up a hot chocolate drink and a burger(im not that hungry,but i felt sleepy parin like the man in the tv ad of Lucky me supreme).I sat on the open area of the fastfood chain so i could see if any of my co-trainees are passing by if they are.After about 15 minutes and finished my meal,the rain stopped for a while,the cars and people are passing by i saw a man in longsleeves walking slowly to cross the otherside of emerald ave.Then i thought of a local tv ad,”lucky me supreme”/”Madaming Benefits”.The scene was exactly this one and it is the same place.only the man in the ad ended up in 7eleven eating which is on the otherside where i am sitting that time.before the 30 minute mark of sitting there,I did see some of my co-trainees passing by so i called and joined them back to the office.They said they were in the mall to have lunch(as i predicted) “Nag KFC kami” they said.Training resumed and we had a practical test.After that session we went together to MRT with our jackets on.It was quite a dismal day for me,the rain brought me some memories,it’s automatic for me when it rains( i dont know why).I was so lazy to think anything beyond that.haha.Unfortunately i wasnt able to go to AFPI this day also.maybe this week! I’ll Have my dinner now.
Hourtigas.
July 4, 2005Today..what was today? It was a gloomy day.haha.Dark Skies greeting me to get up and be ready for training.I was feeling too lazy to get up(I watched the magny cours f1 grand prix last night which is fantastic! and some 2 dvds before sleeping) and wishing to hear the song “manic monday” haha,but ending up to go to my training(it’s fun you know) haha. Lunchtime,got out of the office with some co-trainees.When it started to drizzle,so i put on my jacket quickly before the drizzle became rain drops.Luckily we got to where we are eating not looking like we circled the ortigas center 5 times dripping.haha.I got to eat a ready to serve rice meal and a refreshing c2,they got the same rice meals also but different “ulam” hehe.We talkd about those things in training bla bla and stuffs about jobs.whew! Suddenly i realized soon ill be on a job na din,well in full shifts i hope.Then Back to our office,which is not very near on the place we are eating but only walking distance.We passed by on the all famous “starbucks” which is everyday filled with suited professionals sipping a cup of thier preffered flavor,while smoking and mingling with thier colleagues.on the otherside there is 711 which is filled also by lunchtime.Look into the otherside again,there is banco de oro,standard chartered,metro bank.etc.They are also filled with people by lunchtime and afternoon because most of the people there got thier money in thier atm accounts which also the companies are offering as your option for your salary.Then there is one japanese restaurant that caught my attention,i peeked through its window,it looked cozy in there with dim lights and great ambiance.But with a few people(most of them couples) only considering its lunchtime,well it might be expensive there or it’s a great dining for two place.haha. I love seeing things that are not so interesting as others might see them.It enriches your views and perspectives in this everchanging world.haha Back to the office,straight up to a few floors with that high speed elevator(i really enjoy it everytime i’m in there,its really fast compared to other standard elevators,makes my stomach tickle,you’ll feel a rush of blood through the head)haha. In to the room,it’s cold! we went to do a few more technical things and then dissmissed.By that time i got to the facade of the office,the sun is up with clouds covering it.I picked up again a C2 drink,go walk to megamall and buy a few things(CD’s and a case for it,i cant figure out how can i arrange my cds so i put them to cases nalang.haha.).I got a putumayo CD again,a bit pricey,but real great music.Then up to the cyberzone section in the 4th floor,which i bought some blanks.Then “kaboom” this is a great moment,when i came across the store where thier window featured my ^dream digital slr camera^..haha. Everything around me slowed.I was focused to this thing alone.It’s a real great thing to have 8 megs of resolution,12x deadly optical zoom,great image processor,manual controls.etc.I’ts a work of art and technology,but the price is too high.I can buy a good digicam (the stylish and slim ones) though but not as good as it is..I WANT THAT!So I promised to myself “i’ll be back” for it.haha.maybe a couple of months from now..While going down to the ground floor of the mall,i saw a widesheet(a poster in wide view) of Peque Gallaga’s(FYI-real name: Pete Gallagher).I’ve known this film since it’s official site came online last may.Im looking forward to watch it because it will be a great movie i suppose.Also,the soundtrack of this film features the best of our indie bands.By that time it’s rush hour,so i went to the mrt and back to where i am sitting right now! By tommorow i’m planning to go to APFI(film school,which is in ortigas also) to know what are the requirements and pre-bla bla things before admission.Well,That’s for now. : )
It’s not suspicious! It’s Unusual.
July 2, 2005
I recently watched Millions by Danny Boyle(Shallow grave,trainspotting,28 days later).It’s about a family(a father and two brothers damian and anthony who recently lost thier mother).Damian a weird boy Sees things and visions and all sorts of imaginations specially saints.Thats what all he had after her mother died.His brotherAnthony,A typical gradeschool boy.And Thier Father who tries to give the best for the comfort of his sons.The setting of the film is in uk on the brink of currency unification(Pound to euro) with other europan countries.One Day While damian playing on his own built carton house near the train tracks,A bag full of money(pounds) fell from nowhere.He quickly showed it to anthony which said that they should hide it.The contrast of the story begins here.DAmian sees a chance to help others and beleived that the money came from god.Anthony sees another oppurtunity to spend the money on cool things one can have and be a popular figure in school.The Story actually is for younger audiences but the director Danny Boyle is brilliant enough to merge a story like this to a stunning visual feast and cinematography that others might want to see in the film.Specially Like the Scenes in trainspotting,You can expect it too on this great film.Bottomline here is,money complicates things.it may seem great in a short period of time but in the long run as you experience life and its challenges. Money is just secondary to The happiness of simplicity ang togetherness in each other’s lives.It’s True you know,i have my own experiences of a kind of life everybody is dreaming about,when i was a kid and growing up.Rich personalities and celebreties whom i didn’t know that time greets me on my birthdays.A house with a chapel inside it.Out of town trips ever single week.Going with my uncles on Golf weekends.But gained no support i needed as a growing person.Well that’s the PAST,i dont want to dig deeper to it.haha.Sharing and giving is also a keypoint to the story,which the film is also involved through a fund raising program “Water Aid-Water For Life” for the poor people in africa and around the world The ending is about that.Great first performace of the 9 year old actor Alex Etel.You can expect more from him in the coming years.Lastly,The Film’s Hour and a half runtime is quite short but short as GREAT! Iwould recommend this film for everyone who wants to see a fun,visual,uplifting film. Here are some Screenshots from the film.More Screenshots HERE and HERE.
St. CLaire is having a good time here.
What will i do if i have this?An Alienware PC would be a start!
F1 is burning
July 1, 2005Recently,FIA had a hearing with the 7 teams that boycotted the U.S. Grand prix because thier tires(michelin) are not safe running in the indianapolis track..Actually Michelin also announced the desicion also not to run thier tires on that sunday race after an accident again by ralf schumacher.The Teams are found guilty of two reasons.Argh! Max Mosely is really a draconian! But no penalty will be applied to the teams until september because the FIA and F1 itself is busy getting back for its spectators and fans after that shameful act with micheal schumacher winning (no challenge win)! read on..
The seven teams who withdrew from the recent United States Grand Prix, namely McLaren, Renault, Williams, BAR, Red Bull, Sauber and Toyota, have been found guilty on two charges of bringing the sport into disrepute, and not guilty on three, at the meeting of the FIA World Council this morning.
The guilty charges are:
‘Failing to ensure that they were in possession of suitable tyres for the US Grand Prix, but with strong mitigating circumstances’
And ‘wrongfully refusing to allow their cars to start the race, having regard to their right to use the pitlane on each lap’.
The teams were also found not guilty on the following charges:
‘Refusing to race subject to any speed restriction, having regard to the absence of any detailed plan for this’;
‘Combining to make a demonstration for the reason that they had hoped to race until the last minute’;
‘failing to inform the stewards of their intention not to start for the same reason as above’;
However, the Council will not discuss any penalties until an extraordinary meeting of the WMSC is held on 14th September.
In addition, the Council will also consider what steps have been taken by Michelin and the seven teams to compensate the fans, and to repair the damage done to both the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the sport itself, as well as what steps have been taken to ensure that an incident such as this does not happen again.
In the light of Michelins gesture yesterday in which the company offered substantial compensation in the way of money and tickets, the outcome appears not to be as negative as earlier reports suggested, and it would appear that any apparent threat to this weekend’s French Grand Prix should have been averted.
We await the promised response from the team representatives with interest.
War of the chips
June 28, 2005AMD recently filed a lawsuit against INTEL for unfair competition.haha..actually this is right..many of us people says..intel is better.quotes like this “mas ok ang p4 sir,AMD kasi benchmarking ang clock speed” quoted from a salesperson.haha.Actually amd dominates bussiness sectors(for thier 64 bit processors) and now the gaming sectors(fx57,A64 x2). which is also more cheaper than its competitors(P4 EE,xeon).Intel fed us with unparalelled ads.thats why they grew to be the largest processor maker in the world.But now intel is nowhere near the new offerings of amd,which is the amd athlon 64 x2(dual core) and thier flagship athlon FX 57.And they got a lawsuit to answer!haha.AMD’s reasons:
- Forcing major customers to accept exclusive deals,
- Withholding rebates and marketing subsidies as a means of punishing customers who buy more than prescribed quantities of processors from AMD,
- Threatening retaliation against customers doing business with AMD,
- Establishing quotas keeping retailers from selling the computers they want, and
- Forcing PC makers to boycott AMD product launches.
For most competitive situations, this is just business. But from a monopolist, this is illegal.
These serious allegations deserve serious attention. Earned success is one thing. Illegal maintenance of a monopoly is quite another.
Read on..
It’s been a long battle for AMD to gain headway in a market Intel has dominated all these years, but now it’s taken a turn for the worst (or better, depending on how you look at it).
Not long after a much discussed price increase in its own line of dual and single core CPU’s, some now more expensive than Intels own comparable line of CPU’s, AMD -maker of x86 microprocessors, said Tuesday it had filed an antitrust lawsuit against Intel Corp., the world’s largest maker of chips, in U.S. federal district court for the district of Delaware accusing Intel of unfair competition, which limited market share growth of AMD.
“Everywhere in the world, customers deserve freedom of choice and the benefits of innovation — and these are being stolen away in the microprocessor market,” said Hector Ruiz, AMD chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer. “Whether through higher prices from monopoly profits, fewer choices in the marketplace or barriers to innovation – people from Osaka to Frankfurt to Chicago pay the price in cash every day for Intel’s monopoly abuses.”
AMD have also setup a website dubbed “Fair and Equal Competition Home” which also lays out the innovation the company has undertaken in the years its been in business. This looks like its going to be a very public fight and Intel has the monetary power to defend itself. Lets hope us consumers don’t lose out.
Invitation to Skull island

The official site of Peter Jackson’s upcoming film King kong is now online.The 2 minute teaser trailer,which i downloaded,will rock your butt and probably even make you go on a rage to see it on the bigscreen!haha.PJ and Weta’s work are not over yet,but they are doing all they got to make this film a remarkable one.25 weeks to go before the wrap up of the entire production.i loved the introduction,”from academy award winning director,Peter Jackson”…whew! Here are some srceenshots that i captured from the trailer itself.more one my flickering flicks gallery.
Is this a part of middle earth?!
Viola!
June 26, 2005Im listening right now to Head Automatica’s cd called Decadence.Released last year,thier music is generally rock,but you can hear the mixes of influences like jazz,pop,metal,dance and ska in the tracks.Thier music has the energy and youth to it.So music lovers,ill recommend this one.specially if you love mixes of music in one album.It’s avaialble at tower records.
Updates:Here are some of the yngwie malmsteen and the japanese philharmonic orchestra screenshots from the dvd.This is one of the concertos that made me high..haha..great music in fusion!
Yeah!Bend the strings!
Tick Tock
June 24, 2005It’s like a deja-vu.Me as always on the front of a monitor.This time wondering about someone(hi there! if you can hear me out.i hope your allright),just after watching a dvd.A concerto of japan philharmonic orchestra with yngwie malmsteen(yeah right!).The Compositions are wonderful,fusioning classical with electric guitar(geez! Malmsteen really showed his arsenal of million notes.) For those who are fans of him or just really into that kind of music, I’ll update you about that tomorrow with screenshots and my review.After seeing it,i ate a sandwhich filled with goober.haha.But Sometimes you can’t patch the intervals of time trying to do something,its still one of the lonely nights.And sometimes it seems you can sleep with the tune of the clock ticking,because time is so slow..haha..so i ended up wondering and listening to a few choices of songs,which probably,IMHO,can help me ease the hours and night away and thinking that someday the joys in my life would go back..these songs are for you.i wish nightbirds are true,so you could hear them whispering my songs to you.
When you try your best
but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want
but not what you need
When you feel so tired
but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone
but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
—Musical Interlude—
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I…
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you, I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I…
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
Box the box office.
June 23, 2005Russell Crowe,Ron Howard and Brian Grazer.They teamed up again!After thier success in “A Beautiful Mind”.This time for a movie about the true story of a boxing legend in the the 30’s era U.S.(depression),Jim Braddock(Crowe).Also Co-stars Renée Zellweger as Braddock’s wife.Expect this film to be nominated in many award giving bodies(DGA,PGA,BAFTA,Golden globe,and Academy awards) later this year and early next year.It opened in the US quite dissappointing,but it will recover and box around in the international box office.Crowe will show again his prowess in acting(at least not his throwing prowess!haha) Click here for the official movie site.Some Cinderella Man photos are in my flickering flicks gallery.
Updates on PJ’s King Kong.It will be completed by Late September or Early October i suppose.I’m Really excited for the teaser trailer on the 27th!Kong will growl on december(i hope it will be a simultaneous worldwide release).In the meantime,i want to share the production shots taken from the production diary clips.

June 20, 2005Today was a great day..But hot weather though,and im wearing semi formal attire earlier..whooo!grabbed a c2 drink again in ministop before going home(refreshing!hehe).Found out the results of yesterday’s f1 grand prix in indianapolis,USA.Dissappointing!FIA did not allow the michelin runners to race because the michelin tires had some issue with the track,particularly section 13.Micheal Schummacher did claim his first win.but not a happy one,becuase only 6 cars raced for the flag.(d*mmed FIA!) I’m still updating my photos for my viscotchoh!(visual ridleyscotch with an oh!,nice and tasty!haha) photo blog which you can view for some of the pics by clicking the link in the puto-blag!section.
The adaptation of the 1933 classic king kong will invade the internet and media companies for its 1st trailer on june 27th.The official website too will be online that same day.Peter Jackson(Heavenly creatures,frighteners,LOTR) Directed this upcoming flick,its still on post production now.Expectations with this film?hmmm.Right now almost everybody is excited to what the film and king kong will look like.IMHO,It will be the biggest film this upcoming December.Andy Serkis(gollum/smeagol) is king kong,digitally…Adrien Brody,Naomi Watts,Jack Black and Thomas Kretschmann(one of my favorite actors,his portayals are just great.usually an officer/soldier) Will lead The Cast.WETA will again show thier arsenal of special effects that will make george lucas pop his eye.And beleive me,PJ wont be slim now for spending time doing a crap film.Click here for more news about PJ’s kong.
Also,Recently.The CEO/co-chairman of New line Cinema officially responded on the request of many LOTR fans to make “the hobbit” happen.Read the letter below.I have been closely monitoring their updates since the “let the hobbit happen” went online.Click here for other news regarding the development of the hobbit.
Harmony
June 18, 2005Right now,im sitting in front my my computer and listening to my collection of oldie songs,which by the way i uneathed from my archives because my friend’s soundtrip right now is the 40’s to 70’s era in music and he wanted to aquire some of it from me..As i am listening to these songs,it brought back memories again..Nostalgia or some kind?haha.I dont know,maybe when there is music,there is you.Its like harmony.I dont know what to do in our situation right now.but i want you and all to know,ill follow my heart.i would not know what it would lead to,but certainly it would not lead to another mistake.Because all i want is your happiness,your freedom of your feelings and emotions that is holding you back.Its like a song you know,the memories of you will linger once in a while until the end of the it.It’s always like that.No one will have the same opinion and vision of things as the composer and the singer of the song..But may i have the strength to carry on and continue without you,and find the right harmony that will bring us together again,and may we continue to sing to the tune of our lives without wondering about the past.
RENT with COLORS
June 16, 2005Here’s a Screenshot of the beta of microsoft’s acrylic.The Program is Quite like gimp.Only different thing,it’s from microsoft.If you need a free program that can do what a photoshop would do,try it.Otherwise,stick to your current photo editing program.Acrylic needs more developing,but its satisfactory for me.
Acrylic’s interface.Oh! and RENT 11.11.05!(watch out for a december release here)
RENT(winner of pulitzer & tony award for a musical) will have an adaptation in the big screen.Directing is Chris Columbus(The man responsible for home alone,nine months,stepmom,and recently the first two harry potter movies).I never got a chance to see the actual musical back then when it was locally shown(the one with
Micheal De Mesa and Monique Willson) but i have a soundtrack though from the original musical which i bought years ago.I hope the movie will feature most of the songs.RENT will be In theatres,November in US,probably will be released here by december.I will update you on the developments of this film.Meantime,below are some of the screenshots that i captured from thetrailer (which is accompanied by the song “Seasons of love”).
A New Saga,unleashed!
I recently watched Batman Begins,After my training.It was an amazing movie.It surely did comply to my expectations and more..It was the greatest Batman film i have ever seen,second only to the 1989 1st film by tim burton.Why did i say that?Because this film has a great storyline and with the naturalistic approach of it..Gotham City,The Corruption,The poverty of people and the socialists who only care about greed and power and some who insist that only power will destroy power.The Batmobile(rugged,the way it should be).The Cast did great parts of thier own in the film.Thanks to the vision of Christopher Nolan for bringing the Bat hero again in a way He is supposed to be,Dark,Mysterious and emotional.Minimal Special effects were used,it really showcases Nolan’s talent in directing.I would not Tell about the story of it,Because its worth seeing.Go Watch it for yourself,I promise it wont disappoint you.But Do not expect a action packed movie from beginning till the end.Instead,do expect a director’s vision of the realistic Bruce Wayne/Batman.And Take note of the ending..A new saga of a realistic hero in a realistic environment is unleashed!
“Whew!That electronically induced fabric is really tough!haha.
Thanks to wayne industries!”
