Lance

There are two Lances in my life. The first one is Lance Armstrong. He's my hero. The second one, I was finally able to meet yesterday. The second Lance in my life is the little boy of one of my officemates, Fenina. He's such a darling! A hyperactive darling - hahaha! He kept singing "Happy happy birthday to youuuuuu" the whole afternoon. He is so cute, and he's also very smart.

Our gimmick place was Gateway Mall. I was with Jovan, Sharon, Fenina, RD and Lance. We had lunch in Max's then we went around. It was so tiring - we walked all afternoon, plus there were so many people! But it was worth it, being with Lance and all.

We hope to have a cute little Lance also someday. :)

Fete de la Musique



I've attended three Fete's in the last four years. I didn't go last year to Eastwood because it was raining really hard. This year, Fete de la Musique was back in El Pueblo, with a small extension to Podium. I really only watch one artist - Cynthia Alexander. I don't even watch Barbie. Well, last night, I caught one song. And that was it. I hurriedly went back to Podium because there were just too many people!!!

In theory, the concept is really great - bringing all the popular artists together to celebrate music. It caters to all kinds of people, because of the many genres. However, I didn't enjoy it because there were just TOO MANY people and the venue was like a maze!

I think I should just go to Conspiracy to watch Cynthia Alexander so that I won't feel that I *have* to go to Fete.

I was with Jovan, Kookie, Wands, Bunny and Lester. We ended up in Burgoo afterwards because Kookie wanted to drink. Then we transferred to Oyster Boy in Greenhills. It was another reality check for me last night - I have confirmed that I am old. 11PM = sleepy. Yikes.

Batman Begins


Photo from Yahoo Movies

I truly believe that this is the best Batman movie to date. The cinematography was consistent, the actor was perfect for the role, the treatment was not comical... It's an AWESOME movie!

I was lucky to have watched the movie last monday at Glorietta, during the Gentxt premiere. I was with Jovan, Lester, Mads, Sharon, and Vince. Sorta like a triple date, but not really. Loooooong story that I would rather not talk about. Let's just say it was over before it even started. Okay, so I'm rambling... Back to Batman.

Christian Bale was perfect for the role. Mostly because he's not widely known. The actors in the past movies were too popular so it was a bit hard to go beyond their names. Clooney was too suave, which Batman definitely isn't. Keaton was a bit comical, which Batman definitely isn't. Val Kilmer was just totally wrong, haha! Christian Bale adapted to the scenes - when he was in prison he was a lost soul searching for himself, when he was training you can feel the fire from within, when he was back in Gotham he was the typical rich bachelor, and when he was with Rachel you can see that he was in love.

It was refreshing to see Morgan Freeman in a somewhat subtle comical role (remember Bruce Almighty? haha!). Liam Neeson was great, but there were times when it was like deja vu - what is Quigon Jin doing in Batman? Katie Holmes did well, however, I couldn't get past her sweet image so she didn't come across as the tough assistant DA that Rachel was supposed to be. Michael Caine, on the other hand, was the perfect Alfred!

I love the fact that the treatment of the villain was not literal. You won't see a scarecrow walking around scaring the hell out of people. The scarecrow was actually just a mask, made ugly by the drugs forced into the victims. Love, love, love it.

It was a long movie, but I didn't notice it at all. The action scenes were great, carefully spread throughout the movie, so it doesn't tire the audience. I hate action movies that overdo it, where the audience isn't given a chance a rest and appreciate the scenes.

Awesome, awesome movie.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith


Photo from Yahoo Movies

Was finally able to watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Jovan last night in Powerplant. There were so many people and we arrived late so we ended up on the first row. I was worried that I would get a headache because of our distance from the screen, but it turned out that worrying was useless - it wasn't that bad at all!

Since Mads and Lester have watched the movie already, I suggested that they go watch A Lot Like Love instead. Read my entry about it! Ehehe!

I loved the movie! It was very entertaining. The beginning and the end was unique. It was obvious that the stars had a blast filming the movie. Also (more importantly? haha!), Brad Pitt is such an eye candy! I never liked Angelina Jolie, more so after Brad and Jennifer broke up (yeah yeah, we're close - I WISH!), but she was perfect for the role. I even think that she's more suited to doing action scenes than Brad.

First Monthsary!

We've been married for a month! And it has been great! The only drawback is that I've been eating so much! Need... to... stop... soon...

For more than a week now I've been trying to transfer our official pics from the CD to the PC. However, since my PC is low-tech, it's having a hard time reading the CDs. So until now, I still haven't posted the photos and it's really frustrating! I've been wanting to share our photos with our suppliers. I guess that will have to wait...

A Lot Like Love

Jovan and I had time to kill before the two parties we planned to attend last night. Our choices were Sin City and A Lot Like Love - we chose the latter because I wanted to watch something light. It was a great choice! I love the movie! For me, it wasn't the typical fee-good mushy romantic comedy. It was about friendship, it was about romance, it was about how friendship develops into romance, about the blurry line that separates one from the other, and it was about hope.

Plus, Ashton Kutcher is really beginning to grow on me - he's so cute!
