Black Saturday.

New Zealand All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions
21-3

Saw the All Blacks doing the haka for the first time.
Sivivatu, Umaga, Carter -- 25 names to go.
And the coaches of course.
Can't wait for next Saturday's match.
(Forgive me, I'm a rugby virgin.)

Movie Review: Batman Begins

The Yeheys:
  • It's Batman. I'm biased.
  • Great storyline.
  • Gothic Batman-on-the-rooftop look.
  • Cool Scarecrow hallucination effects -- almost like looking at a Dave McKean artwork.
  • Gary Oldman does justice to James Gordon.

The Boos:

  • Katie Holmes.
  • The Bat-tank.
  • Alfred's phony Australian accent. He's supposed to be British, damn it.
  • The wrong pronunciation of "Ra's" in Ra's Al Gul. You wouldn't be so proud of saying your own name if you'd been watching the TV series, Mr. Neeson.
  • Scarecrow's "Fear Powder" -- you're supposed to experience your greatest fears upon inhalation, not see whatever's in front of you as a monster.
  • So who really killed Bruce Wayne's parents? The Joker? Have you ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?
  • Bats can only survive in a tropical environment. -- But I forgive you, Mr. Kane. May your soul rest in peace.
  • Ken Watanabe's makeup. You were dashing in The Last Samurai, I didn't even notice Tom Cruise.

In Other Words: To appreciate Batman Begins, pretend that you've never seen any episode of the Batman TV series and you've never read any of the comics and you've never seen any of Tim Burton's Batman movies.

25 and counting.

A migraine.
Threatening to split my brain into two rival entities named Harry and Larry.

Four underaged terrors --
Three female pre-schoolers.
One male in diapers.
Wreaking havoc around the house.

Happy birthday.

The day after B-Day is usually better.
Usually.

You are the most beautiful target I've ever seen.

Q: Napanood mo na Mr. & Mrs. Smith?
Jo: O naman.
Q: Di masyadong maganda, no?
Jo: O nga e.
Q: Ang dragging. Parang dapat pinutol na nila yung movie somewhere in the middle (of the movie).
Jo: O nga e. Mas maganda pa nga Sin City e.
Q: Gusto mo panoorin ulit?
Jo: Tara.

Movie Review: Mr. & Mrs. Smith

We sat at the third row from the front but thank god for elevated seats and the space between the screen and the front row. No, Mother. I did not intentionally choose the seats near the front to look up Angelina's skirt.

It was good that we made it just in time for the last trailer before the movie began or I would've killed my movie mates, given that we were in the area an hour before.

Marriage Counselor: How often do you have sex?
Jane Smith: (blank stare) I don't understand the question.

The Yeheys:
  • Angelina Jolie. (I'm biased. Ha-ha.)
  • The movie started out well.
  • Cool action scenes.
  • The double entendres. (Now that's what I call 'domestic violence.')
  • The irony and sarcasm.
  • The soundtrack.
  • Cool storyline despite the simplicity of it all.
The Boos:
  • The movie ended a little cliche-ish, i.e. Bonnie and Clyde-ish. (No, I'm not giving away the ending.)
  • Cheesy lines.
  • Kinda predictable.
  • Pa-cute Brad Pitt shots. (Like you did that already in Meet Joe Black, and yes, we know you're cute already.)

In Other Words: The movie's purely eye candy. If you want something deep, go watch Girl, Interrupted instead.

Cramps and a bump.

What I learned last weekend: The Toyota Vios is not for people with long legs.

Episode 3.

Our techs have suspended TotalBlock on my e-mail.

But I'm still not getting all my messages.

And I miss spam.

And the viagra.

And the mortgages.

And the casinos.

Spam you!

TotalBlock - Don't let spam (or anybody else for that matter) invade your privacy.

Four months to go until TotalBlock is removed from our e-mail server.

I can't even access their website.

I'm gonna start a rebellion soon.

Negative plugging.

They shouldn't have named their product "TotalBlock." It lives up to its name.

I need words of wisdom from da mother and I can't receive her e-mails.

We are sponsoring two events organized by SLV and I can't receive their e-mails.

Bill was sober enough to name his brand 'Microsoft.'

I'm watching Mr. & Mrs. Smith with da mother (and a bunch of professional office hooligans) in five days and TotalBlock can go to hell.

Magbubura na lang nga ako ng kalawang.
