I got this from a Randy. Don't know if this is even accurate because I don't feel like I've seen much. Need (more like want Ü) to go out more and see the beauty that is the Philippines! :) Hopefully, I'll be able to improve my grade soon. Would need additional resources (aka moolah) to do this, though. :(

Double Date

We were supposed to have a team GA last Saturday but thanks to the typhoon, we had to postpone it. Barry was on leave that day to be able to join so I thought, why not make the most out of the rainy day and just have a small get together with old friends. Kha and I met with them at Pier One, Fort Bonifacio since this was the place I know that everyone could meet half way with regard to travel time and distance. However, unforseen circumstances happened that night that the get together turned out into a double date.Ü Though, it would have been nice to have everyone around, we still managed to have fun. Mix a couple of drinks, some good food with a lot of catching up stories, how could it go wrong! Hopefully we can have the Tropa Tups complete the next time we meet. Too bad I was not able to take pictures. :(

PS: You know you are starting to "mature" if you couldn't stand being seated beside loud speakers that are playing remixed songs. Guess we've started to out-grow being "party" people.Ü

Movie Week

We seem to be on a movie week since Sunday. Karen and I have already seen 2 movies, Rush Hour 3 and A Love Story.


Rush Hour 3 was an OK movie for me. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker still had their magical touch when it comes to mixing comedy and martial arts action. They antics in the movie were so hilarious that it was able to make up for the predictability of the story. Its predictability was what hurt the movie. The movie was also fast paced but thanks for being action and comedy packed, you can let go of the idea that the movie was a little bit short. I also found it weird that Lee (Jackie Chan's character) and Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada's character) were able to understand each other even if they spoke different languages in the movie. Lee spoke in Chinese while Kenji in Japanese! I think Rush Hour 3 is still alright to be watched in the big screen but I would have waited for the DVD release to get more from it.


A Love Story is another must see movie IMHO. Karen and I watched this on its opening day yesterday at Festival Supermail despite the storm yesterday. I rarely appreciate Filipino movies because if most of the stories are pretty much the same so it gets quite boring to watch. However, this movie was very well thought. Nice work by its Director, Maryo J. delos Reyes, on how the story went and how he unfolded it. I had a hard time watching it because it was so heavy on the heart that I found it very hard to get angry at the characters. Instead, I felt pity for all of them because each of them had their own problems and that its hard to say who's to blame for all of their problems. I won't say any further as I might give out the story so I'll just leave it here.

Movies lined up: Surf's Up and Bourne Ultimatum (I'd have to watch Bourne Identity and Supremacy first before Ultimatum.Ü)

Jumbo Hotdog
