Initially intending to watch something else, we ended up deciding to watch Babel. It won Golden Globe and Cannes awards, so it was a natural choice to view on the big screen. The film revolves around 4 separate storylines. For Brad Pitt’s story, he and his wife are on a vacation in Morocco when [...] We watched Eragon last weekend, I was hoping we’d watch some other stuff first, but we didn’t get the time to. I haven’t read the book, so I wasn’t expecting much except for an effects film. It was pretty much what I expected. Eragon is based on the fist book of the Inheritance Trilogy by Christopher Paolini. The book was a success, and given that it was published when he was just 19 years old (he supposedly started writing the book at age 15), it must be a deam come true to see his work on the big screen. Unfortunately, the film didn’t work all that well for me. I felt the plot was a little [...] With my SO back from her trip, we decided to catch a movie and ended-up choosing “Night at the Museum“. Being a Ben Stiller movie, you know it’s a comedy (and it should have Owen Wilson or some other cameo inside). The premise is simple, stuff at the museum turns alive at night, [...] #3: Since this is from the Philippine Online Gaming Summit ’06-’07, I’m assuming the game in the lower middle monitor is some sort of MMORPG version of solitaire. www.darthvid.com I went to the Philippine Online Gaming Summit (POGS) 2006-2007 last Saturday to see what’s going on. It’s mostly a showcase of the currently available online games in the Philippines, and you get to try the stuff out. There was also a cosplay competition, but I didn’t see any memorable costume. Of particular interest [...] I learned about this from a Wired Magazine online article. You really should check it out. More links (particularly links to English translations of the original posts) can be found here. I wonder how I can get myself a copy of the book…? I’m gonna set this part of my blog as a segment for quirky stuff I find around and manage to take pictures of. I’ll start with these two: #1: What kind of work does a “danGer GRO” do? Undercover operations?
#2: I saw this displayed quite prominently on one of the Ortigas area’s more prominent commercial centers. [...] A friend has been telling about this sidewalk place called “JT’s Manukan Grille” for some time now, and as usual, I’m always intriqued by the possibility of good cheap food. We got a chance to go there for lunch last Tuesday, and I was pleasantly surprised. The main branch (where we ate) is along the [...] Before I retire for the night (morning?), I just want to mention that today was a Jack day. I lost a lot at Triplejack.com today due to a lot of weak plays. I lost a lot, and I lost bad. After (or while) doing some website related research, I basically worked on getting [...] Internet connection has been on and off since the Taiwan earthquake. I’ve been wanting to update the blog for quite a while now but the intermittent disconnection is quite frustrating. Only did I manage to properly login to the blog. I have quite a backlog of stuff to mention, but since it is [...] |
