finally! Hooooo!!!!!


from Movieline.com

finally news about the thundercats movie by warner bros has been released on movieline.com. a lot of kids who watched this animated series looked forward to having this updated and turned into a movie.  unfortunately, it will be a CG movie. unless they make something as dramatic as the final fantasy film, this might turn out to be a disaster.  i loved the fan-made thundercats movie trailer and it seems it will be difficult to live up to what this trailer has shown (and with that i laugh out hard).

posting here the fan-made trailer. cool casting haha

paalam tita cory

it’s been an emotional trip for the filipinos since the late president’s death last saturday (august1). and again we are drawn together to pay respects to the woman who is now billed as the mother of democracy.  today is her funeral and that means last night would be the last chance for me to see her.

living on water: the wave of the future


from cubme.com

with regards to the continued melting of the polar ice caps and the greenhouse effect, this danish design can very well be the solution to living in the future. venice is also practically a floating city and soon we would have to move into communities like this. i dont mind the retro look, im actually loving it. i just hope the structure could withstand erratic waves and storms. maybe we need to live within a walled city (like in the waterworld movie) for at least some protection against getting washed off into the ocean. walls kinda brings us back to ancient times but i guess history does have its way of coming to you.

yellow ribbons

the former president passed away at 3am this morning. the rain today is appropriate for the collective feelings of her countrymen, mourning for her loss, mourning for the state of the nation. her influence extends beyond her capacity as a person and as a president. nobody else could be a symbol of hope for many, nobody else could match up to her sincerity, her spirituality, her love for the country.

i was very young in mindanao when the people power revolution raged on edsa. i couldnt own up to my experiences to say i was affected by the change, but i lived through not knowing how it felt to be under martial rule. and for a president that prayed much, i could say i also lacked of it.

i posted the yellow ribbons on our facebook profiles in keeping wake with her fragile state in the hospital.  now we keep the yellow ribbons in mourning of her passing.  belatedly i thank her for giving the country a glimmer of hope in this desperate times of power-hungry and ambitious people who forgot what they were supposed to do. i thank ninoy, and i thank cory for teaching me we could still do more for our country, 1 prayer and 1 step at a time.

to the grocery

it’s 10.22 in the evening. we just came from rustans fresh in katipunan. bought some beef (australian beef breakfast steak slices at p103 for 4 pieces) for dinner. tried identifying what happy food i wanted and realized ive been craving for beef pepper steak for days now. got pepper steak sauce also (expensive at p93 for 165ml); had to try it. we’re now back home and while waiting for the hawaiian brown rice to cook (courtesy of tita tina), i continue doing my sketches for tomorrow’s preprod while listening to nirvana’s (most awesome) mtv unplugged album.

chuvaness swore on the freshly squeezed oranged prepared by this squeezing machine in rustans and packaged in del monte bottles. decided to try out the smallest bottle (for p86 a pop) and it was actually good. i do think im a fan now. You Like This.

carlo pulled out some frozen onion rings and shrimp dumplings from the freezer while i contemplated on young pork tocino or nuggets. i decided to forego both and settled on the beef. also got flypaper as the newborn mice at home are getting comfortable, skipping over the kitchen floor like nursery kids on the way home.

ive already laid out the sticky traps, waiting vigilantly but it’s been 30 minutes and no mice. have their mothers warned them of such perils and kept them at bay in the safety of their little holes in my dvd cabinet? hmmm…

and the longer i keep on blogging, the less time i get to finish my sketches. till the next!

to ping or not to ping.

and i always ask these questions

im curious on this ping.fm network that updates most my online accounts simultaneously. of course i was wary of submitting my account passwords for it to access my twitter, facebook, myspace, multiply and my wordpress blog. however i was far more curious and fascinated of the possible convenience it offers me. curiousity kills the cat. how many lives have i got left? and we ping…
