New Moon

Last monday I watched New Moon with my wife. I wasn't expecting much from it, it's good thing I didn't. Like most of books that I've read that gets turned into a movie, New Moon wasn't any different. The movie lacked excitement and drama. So why did I still watch it? Well being a twilight fan, I couldn't not watch it even thought I knew it wouldn't be very nice.

The last parts of the movie was nice though when Jacob and Edward meet again, this time as a Vampire and a Quileute Werewolf. It was nice that they've added that part and that they ended the movie with "Marry Me." Oops.. Sori for the spoiler, if ever that was one.

For me the movie was just so-so. For my wife, the movie was awesome. It turns out that NEW MOON is one of the most talked about movie for college girls these days. She was proud to be one of the first in her class to get to watch it.

SM fairview had 5 Cinemas dedicated to NEW MOON and it's one time viewing only. We got to watch the earliest slot and there wasn't that much people at all. Probably just a dozen or so. But after the movie on our way out, the people in-line outside reminded me of the last weeks of registration for the COMELEC. I was like, "WOW!" All this for NEW MOON? And on a monday morning?!

So what did of think of the movie? Any violent reactions?. All this for NEW MOON? And on a monday morning?!

So what did of think of the movie? Any violent reactions?

Anime Festival Asia 2009

Anime Festival Asia 2009

The biggest gathering of anime enthusiasts happened last weekend in Singapore.





Some of the popular names in the Anime commmunity were there. May'n, the singing voice of Sheryl Nome in Macross Frontier, Yoshiki Fuyuki the voice of Nekki Basara in Macross 7 also the guy who sung the OP theme for Busou Renkin. There were also the K-On girls. Danny Choo, the most popular japanese lifestyle blogger whose blog is visited by over 2 million people daily from around the world. And ofcourse there's Alodia and her sister Ashley who competed for the Philippine Cosplay team in the AFA'09 Cosplay Competition. One of the competition's judge was Kaname, who I just recently found out was a very popular cosplayer in Japan. And I can't believe I wasn't there! I thought seeing Alodia and Hard Gay back in Shizen Orchestra was so cool. But knowing these personalities were all together in the same event makes me fell sad that I couldn't get to go. Well, Singapore is so, so far away. Probably in a few years I'll get to attend but i'm not sure It'll be as exciting as this year. Afterall, it's only this time around that the Philippines "cosplay queen" Alodia, gets to compete for our country. We could've won. I mean the winning team wasn't all that great either.

Overtimes should be banned!

Finally, after 3 weeks of constant Overtimes (even restday OT's!), I get to have a rest day. But of all the days my body decided to get sick today, my first rest day in 3 weeks! Thank you TELETECH for almost working me to death!

Sadly, the biggest events of the year just passed by without me getting to blog about them. Too much to blog and so little time:

*Manny Pacquiao wins his 7th world title.
*Manny Villar and Loren Legarda pair up.
*Gibo Teodoro and Edu Manzano too.
*I just got my first Credit Card!
*New moon sucked (as expected), but my wife loved it.
*Anime Festival Asia 2009 - The biggest anime con in ASEAN.
*Great anime's this season.
*Owl city - great music!
*Yoshiki Fukuyama - Voice behind some of anime's great OST.
*etc.

Well, I finally got my Vacation leave approved on my B-day so i'll have all the time to go blogging. Whahaha! I feel so alive whenever I get to blog. No wonder I've been a bit edgy these past few days. I also missed the Mangaholix event. I wonder now if I should go to AME no Jidai, Domination 4, or Hero Nation.

What anicon event do you plan to go to before the year ends? >_<"

The Lost Symbol

So, i finally got myself a copy of THE LOST SYMBOL, Dan Browns latest book. Like his first two books I'm enjoying every bit of it. Hehe.. I've only ready 22 pages so far but I'm only proud to have a copy. One of the best quotes I've read so far was when Robert Langdon was speaking if front of his class about masons and cults and stuff and he had this to say about his "cult":

“Don’t tell anyone, but on the pagan day
of the sun god Ra, I kneel at the foot of an ancient instrument of torture and consume ritualistic symbols of
blood and flesh.”

The class looked horrified.

“And if any of you care to join me, come to the Harvard chapel on Sunday, kneel beneath
the crucifix, and take Holy Communion.”

Whahahahaha! That was so much fun! I've only read a few pages but I'm already loving it. Will probably blog more about this soon.
>_<;
