Digital Fortress

Lately, nag-browse ako ng mga old pictures ko. Tiningnan ko yung baby photos ko at marami rin akong nakitang pictures nung mga 10 years old and below pa lang ako. Ang cute ko pala dati.

So, nagtaka ako. Bakit ngayon hindi na? Haha… Totoo yata yung kasabihan na kapag cute ka noong bata, panget ka na pag lumaki. Read more »

What??? Sabi ko na nga ba….uunti-untiin ng New Line ang DVD releases ng LOTR e. Ngayon naman panibagong “limited edition” kuno. At kelan nila ilalabas ang bloopers? Sa 25th Anniversary? Baka naman every 3 years may ilalabas na bagong behind-the-scene footage. Hindi pa pala lubos ang extra materials na ni-present nila sa extended edition DVDs? Meron pa? Talagang nag-e-extract sila ng pera sa LOTR kahit tapos na ang franchise a.

Pero kung pagkakasyahin nila ang theatrical release at extended editions sa iisang disc? Panu yun? Baka pumangit quality?

At ano yung seamless branching? Kapag nandun ka na sa isang scene, may pop-up button na pwede kang pumili kung gusto mo i-extend ang scene?

Ewan. Sa totoo lang yung new documentary lang ang habol ko sa set na ito e. Wala pa naman ako pera (kasi once a week na lang ako napasok).

Nabuhay na naman ang pagiging Ringer ko kahit magtatatlong taon na na walang LOTR movie.

Here are the short reviews of movies that I saw some weeks ago in home video. Hindi ko alam kung eto na yun lahat:

Saw II
I like the first one so I rented this but I have to say that the first Saw is still better. The only reason I’m into this is the gore and the twist at the end of the movie plus a chance to see Jigsaw longer than the first one. 6/10.

FlightPlan
This is a thriller that spends half of the movie looking for a child. And when I found out where Jodie Foster’s daughter is, I’m not surprised nor intrigued. Typical conspiracy ek ek. BTW, Sean Bean (Boromir in LOTR) is here too! For me, Red Eye is still the best ‘airplane’ thriller with strong performances from Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams. 6/10.

Google has finally updated their database and put Metro Manila in high resolution! Haaay! Sa wakas, makikita ko na ang bahay namin!

I can finally see our house. Last June 9 pa pala in-update kaya pala ang daming Pinoys ang nagpopost sa BBS Keyhole forums for Manila landmarks. Akala ko nakakakita sila ng landmarks kahit low-resolution ang pics ayun pala na-update na. Yehey!

I think the whole Metro Manila is covered plus parts of Laguna, Cavite, Bulacan ang Rizal. Angeles, Cebu, Legazpi, Davao etc etc…

Today (June 10), I turned 20. Yehey!!
It’s hard to forget this day because many things have happened today. I sort of ‘experience’ different sides of life.

First, birthday ko ngayon. A decade has passed. New life begins. Second, I saw a wedding. Well actually, galing ako school at dadaan lang dapat ako sa simbahan for a short prayer. But then, there was a wedding going on, so hindi na ako pumasok. I rather pray sa mas tahimik na lugar. And if you come to think of it, a wedding means new life too. Lastly. Pumunta ako sa lamay ng isa kong lolo (my father’s uncle) sa Cavite. Death, as many people believe, leads to a new life. June 9 namatay ang lolo ko…heart attack. Our pet dog died on the day of my birthday. Hmmm… interesting isn’t it? …unforgettable.

When I get 30, I’ll just reminisce this day as the day I started my 20’s.

I’ve just received the last half of my allowance from my practicum in Accenture and I’m very delightful that it’s P1000 higher than the last. Hehe. So, Lani and I watched X-Men!!!

I had this dream yesterday that I watched X3 in a theater and after just 1 minute, the movie ends without a single hint of any mutants whatsoever. I was very devastated. Siguro I just worry so much and I thought this last X-Men movie will disappoint.
But thank god and it didn’t. It’s highly entartaining. This is the movie that defines what a summer blockbuster season should be. It’s really worth the admission ticket not like *frowns* the “Da Vinci Code”. Read more »
