Love is Messy

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Love is Messy

Indeed…

For Garrett Popcorn that is…

Me and my sibs love this popcorn. I share the same sentiments with sister KC when she has written this in her blog. I first discovered this popcorn during our day trip in Sentosa island outside the newly opened Universal Studios. Since then, I never turned back, the best popcorn that I\’ve ever tasted!
                                       
But eversince I\’ve started dieting, I\’ve wished that they could sell it in a smaller bag just enough to satisfy my cravings. It came true a few days ago when I saw that they have this petite bag that sells for $2 but this doesn\’t include the Plain/Buttery variety. I asked the salesperson whether it\’s a promo or a forever thing. She said it\’s a promotion. Not sure until when and not available in all outlets.

Total Recall

The remake of the 90\’s movie of the Governator. I wasn\’t really able to see the original but I remember my friend Chit telling us something about a woman with three breast that was not shown in the TV telecast. It looks like, this is where it came from. Though I\’m not really sure about its relevance in the movie. 
The movie is just BLAND. Though the robots, special effects, futuristic set-up are all OK thanks to Hollywood technology that all that it has. Even the fight scenes and car chase are plain boring. 
For the actors, I just have to say Colin Farrell is HOT! I thought he\’s a goner and I never thought he could act helpless and vulnerable. And with all that shave beard, I just really want to look at him. Because most of the time I see him as a villain or a tough antagonist. Kate Beckinsale can kick ass. I just love her cat fight with Jessica Biel. 
I\’m just wandering how come Kate\’s character wants to Colin when she was ordered to bring him alive to the BOSS. The Colony looks like a combination of some Asian cities. I\’m just wondering how come Asia is still viewed as to what was shown in the movie?

Music Monday: I Thought OPM Was Dead

I was wrong! And now I\’m an idiot…Read it here.

I was immersed too much from mainstream madness, I didn\’t know OPM is staring right back at me. I\’m hypercritical maybe because I don\’t see anything new. I haven\’t been watching MYX for a while and MTV Philippines vamoosed eons ago. And I don\’t listen to the radio anymore because I just stopped.
.
The article sums on what is really happening and how to keep OPM alive than ever.

With a Piece Of Chalk – A Short Film

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on With a Piece Of Chalk – A Short Film

I\’m always amazed on how a story can be created and presented beautifully in less than 4 minutes. What impresses me the most, is the use of dancing as the film\’s highlight. Brings out the frustrated dancer in me. 

Me! A Writer?!

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Me! A Writer?!
A few days ago, I received an e-mail from Hack.PH to be a web content writer. They are offering their site as a launch pad for my blog (meaning more readers/visitors thus an increased audience share). I feel honored, never in my life would someone offer me a writing job. Frankly speaking, my writing skills sucks. I could still remember taking up some writing workshop when I was in college. Though I became a writer for the school paper in my previous schools, it was derived to the school\’s regulations, theme, news etc. Then it has to be edited by my editors and adviser. Final approval comes from the principal.   On my first IELTS exam I failed to get a good grade for writing. With blogging, I write on my own pace, informality makes me comfortable and improve my English writing. I\’m really surprised…seriously.
Second was the topic/subject. I\’m no expert nor even near knowledgeable about information technology, internet security etc. I know my limitations and it\’s not my forte. I have to say no but, I will be forever grateful for asking me.
Mind you I remember telling my college friends that I want to join and win a Palanca. Well, I\’m still open to the idea.
For those interested to be a web content writer, send an e-mail to Jennifer Mendoza on support@hack.ph.

London Olympics 2012

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on London Olympics 2012

In my 2 years here in SG, I witnessed 2 major sporting events that has a special impact in this country. The World Cup and London Olympics. I love the sense of importance, support and excitement that emanates in this place. It\’s hyped up to promote the country\’s genuine interest on reaching for the GOLD.
My fond memory on watching this was the 1992 Barcelona, Spain Summer Olympics. The time that Bea Lucero will be representing the country for Taekwondo at siya ang pinakasikat sa batch na yun. There was about more than 50 delegates to that said batch. After them, next few Olympics was a blur. It only touched my senses again during Michael Phelps historic Beijing medal sweep.

Now that, I\’m here in another country, I still can\’t believe am providing time in watching ANY game that I could come across. Too bad I missed the opening ceremony but, my friend Badzy who\’s based in London together with her colleagues experienced it first hand. That is so cool! They were even featured in TV Patrol.

There are a lot to see in the Olympics aside from the sports.

1. Awesome and larger that life cameras and telelens.  Here\’s a peek from the Canon Gear room.
3. Iphoneography at its best. Olympic Smartphone photoblog by Dan Chung.
4. The bodies to die for…The Olympic winning body for myself and the ripped bodies of these swimmers. I just love looking at their Latissimus Dorsi.
Ryan Lochte he may be M.P.\’s shadow but no shadow can hide his yummy-ness tee-hee ;)\\
5. Many hotel have lowered their rates for the  Olympic season. But its supposed to increase especially with this kind of events. Right?!
For the next few days we\’ll just have to wait and see who will be the Olympic champion. Lets keep watching and good luck to everyone.
Never say die, Team Philippines.
