seriously, this is one of the most amazing videos I have ever seen.

Plants vs Zombies was a fun game. a little too short, though, but then it's a tiny game, anyway. it's worth a playthrough but I don't think I'll be completing the mini games. I've still got other games to finish.

watched Shoot 'Em Up again. it really is a silly movie but anyone who rips into it for not making a lick of sense is completely missing the point. it's not a film with a poorly thought of plot. it's a string of gun fights loosely connected to each other with a vague notion of a story. just like porn, except swap out sex with people shooting at each other.

Jomike and Aya were married today in Don Bosco Makati. from our old carpool way back in grade school, he's the first of the four of us to get married. this day also marked the first time in 12 years that the four of us were all together. wonder which of us remaining three will be next?

Arfie, Lesmes, Candy and Milan were in attendance. last time I saw them was two years ago when Jomike passed his board exams.

I was surprised to see Jovan there. turns out she's friends with Jomike.

the night ended a lot earlier than I thought it would.

originally wasn't supposed to go but changed my mind after finding out Fully Booked was having a sale. unfortunately, they didn't have anything I wanted. oh well.

met up with Clair, JM, Dang and a couple of their friends in Sango. they met up with other Hetalia cosplayers later on. at some point, we went down to Kenny's for some food where much hilarity ensued.

Dang was the primary victim of the hilarity because of her order. she had the ironically named All-American Hotdog (last I checked, frankfurters were German) and just about all present erupted in hysterical laughter when her order arrived. it was all very Freudian.

we never actually went to the event area. XD

curses. as it turns out, my student didn't intend to sell off her lens for so much less than it was worth. she just had the price of the wrong model. since it's now at a price I can't afford, I'll be holding back on buying a dslr until this guy becomes available. I don't know how it'll compare to Canon or Nikon in terms of picture quality but that thing is just beautiful. so long as it's not too expensive, I sure as hell will get one. otherwise, I'll stick to the original plan and get a Canon 1000D.

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon.
2. one song blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you.

Weapon can be real or fictional, you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional

1. a Green Lantern ring, either Corps or Starheart. if that's cheating, then the laser weapon from Project Origin
2. Instruments of Destruction by NRG
3. River Tam from Firefly

even after just buying my Ixus 95 back in April, I was checking prices for DSLRs. not really any serious consideration, just curiosity as to how much they'd cost. I've always liked taking pictures but it wasn't until getting a digital camera and realizing that I didn't have to be stingy about wasting shots that I got to have fun with it¹. it's especially fun to take shots right before people are ready for it. >:)

anyway, I've been happy with a compact camera since I only take pictures for fun anyway. a DSLR would have better picture quality, sure, but I'd only really want one if I had a telephoto lens (I still remember that cannon the Photo Club had back in high school). thankfully, such lenses are monstrously expensive and thus, I'd never have to consider it.

and then a former student of mine decides to sell off her camera and telephoto lens, the latter for much less than its value. I told her I'd consider it.

that's right behind the building where I work.

went to the 2009 Toycon with Pia, Toyang, Char and their friend Beau. didn't stay long because I had to get home for dinner. Nicole arrived shortly before I left.



after dinner, I went to Jane's for videoke. not counting Affie, it was ironic that I was the first to arrive since I was the one that almost couldn't make it. Jayca arrived later on with Maan and Crissa. others present were Jane's sister, her bf and two of their friends.



I was supposed to teach Jane poi it's tough to spin in close confines. maybe next time when we're in a more open area.

Pride & Prejudice, guest starring Mr. T.



sample dialogue:

“These women do prattle so, do they not Mr. Baracus?” Mr. Darcy said, leaning in casual repose against the door.

“Indeed, sir,” replied Mr. Baracus. “They are quite foolish in their way, and I for one do not suffer fools lightly. Actually, it is quite the pity they inspire in me.”

“The pity, sir? For fools? Surely you jest,” responded Darcy jovially.

“Jest I do not, sir. I do indeed pity the fools,” Mr. Baracus replied, trailing off.

A long and serene silence took the pair then, as it often does with gentlemen who, rather than speak idly, do keep their peace comfortably when left alone with one another.

“DRINK MILK, SUCKAS!” Mr. Baracus interjected, to no one in particular.

I love Cracked.

please answer if you have the time. thanks.

If you can please just answer briefly:
1. are you familiar with Rockwell Land?
2. what do know about the company at this time?
3. are you familiar with any rockwell projects?
4. how would you describe its property developement products?
5. how would you rank Rockwell Land in terms of reputation versus the bigger more prominent players in the property development sector?

agenda for the day: watch Terminator Salvation, dinner and some drinking at Pier 1, followed by a bit more drinking at Maan's place. others present were Monica, Crissa, Jane and Affie. Win and Jayca met up with us for dinner.

while Salvation was stupid and had some particularly terrible lines, I still found it enjoyable. I particularly like the motorcycle Terminators. plot aside, my only real gripe was that there weren't any lasers for some reason. even the original Terminator movie had robots and humans shooting at each other with lasers. not a single phased pulse rifle was in this movie, in the 40 watt range or otherwise.

before heading out to Pier 1, we had a brief stopover at a music store where Crissa bought her first guitar. it was apparently destiny as she had seen numerous portents pointing towards it.

dinner at Pier 1 was great. not much drinking was actually done, as the only thing we had was all of a pitcher of blue margarita.

we concluded at Maan's place. we mostly just sat around talking while Crissa happily played with her new guitar. Jane and Affie had to leave early so they didn't join us at Maan's. Jayca and Crissa left shortly after midnight. the rest of us watched You've Got Mail on HBO. when that ended, Win left. Monica and I slept over.

happy birthday, Maan! :D

congrats to Ziggy on getting the City's Choice Award for her short film! :D

the original plan for today was to go to High Street with Clair, JM, Crissa and Jane to go spinning. I had just gotten my glow poi yesterday and Jane wanted to learn how to spin. I suggested High Street as our venue so I could see the awarding ceremony for the BGC Passionfest because Jo and some of my other former students joined the photography and short film contests and ended up as finalists for the latter.

plans for spinning didn't push through, though, thanks to the rain, but I just had to go anyway to show support for my girls.

ran into Clair and JM in Fully Booked.

saw Ron at the awarding ceremony. turns out he's now a freelance photographer. not quite Peter Parker, though.

Tito John and Tita Harvey were there, too. Tito John was one of the judges of the photography contest.

when the ceremonies were done, I gave the girls a brief poi demonstration. I went there intent on spinning and by God, I wasn't leaving until I did.

Henry and I watched Star Trek. it was definitely a fun movie, if not a terribly deep one. no attempts at moralizing anything or space politics. just people and space ships shooting at each other with ray guns. they may have gone overboard with the lens flares, though.

it's amazing that Nokia still managed to insert product placement in the movie. also, the Beastie Boys are apparently still known in the time of the Federation, which turned out to be an in-joke about Shatner's difficulty saying "sabotage".

if you grew up in the 80's and don't think this shirt is awesome, you are a communist and a liar. trufax.

also, to the guy who thought to add a rapper to Stan Bush's new version of The Touch? you are a moron. it's bad enough that Optimus Prime's theme music power up is now reduced to Spike's (Shia Lebouf does not deserve this song). why did this atrocity have to be included?

go here and vote for Sancte Sanctis before May 23 ends in the US. thanks.

Jen: ey peppy
Jen: not that ur a porn addict.. but would u happen to know a link to the hayden-katrina video??

thanks for the vote of confidence, Jen. :))
