Cloverfield Monster HIDDEN IMAGE!

Warning: Spoiler ahead.









A sneak peak of the Cloverfield creature - hidden in the movie poster.

Wheel of life

I didn't expect that Brad Renfro and Heath Ledger, both died this month of Januay, in the year of 2008.

I learned that, from the Featured section, of the front page of Yahoo!.

From Wikipedia:

Brad Renfro Renfro was found dead on January 15, 2008 in his Los Angeles apartment, after he had reportedly spent the previous night drinking with friends. The cause of death has yet to be determined. He starred in the movie, The Client, with Susan Sarandon, and Tommy Lee Jones.

On the other hand, Heath Ledger is starred in these movie: The Patriot, Monster's Ball, and Brokeback Mountain.

Walang kamatayang ratings.

Sana, sa buong Pilipinas yung ratings sa Bacolod.

Nakaka-asar din minsan ang GMA at ang ABS-CBN, pagdating sa ratings, pagdating sa pagalingan, at sa pagkuha ng awards and recognitions.

Hindi ko lang alam kung may nangyayaring ganyan sa ibang lugar/bansa.

Ang ibang local networks, hindi ganyan. Paano magiging healthy, patas, at masigla ang panonod ng television shows sa bansa natin kung ganayan ang nangyayari?

Para sa akin, parehong may tinatagong mga baho ang GMA at ABS-CBN na yan.

What really happened 21 years ago?

I was about 3 years and 7 months old, when the Mendiola Massacre happened.

21 years later, based on what I've understood last night's news, hindi ko alam kung sino yung may responsibilidad, at may kasalanan, yung mga nag-ra-rally, or yung mga pumipigil sa mga nag-ra-rally.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pinag-ra-rally nung mga nag-ra-rally.

Sana, wala nang mga ganitong pangyayari dito sa bansa natin.

The Amazing Race 12 - Season Finale

Kainis, hindi ko naumpisahan yung season finale ng The Amazing Race 12.

Hindi ko maalala, kung ano yung ginawa ko, kaya hindi ko naumpisahan yung season finale ng The Amazing Race 12.

Anyway, simula nung natanggal sina Lorena & Jason, bet ko sina TK & Rachel.

Medyo type ko sina Ronald & Christina. Neither type nor hindi type ko sina Nicolas & Donald.

No more of them.

Terri & Henry are eliminated.

Sana, nakipag-team-up sina Vanessa at Pamela kina Paula at Natasja, para fifth/5thplace sina Ann at Diane.

Ayaw ko kina Ann at Diane, at Adrian at Colin.

Gusto ko sina Rovilson & Marc, Brett & Kinaryosih, Sophie & Aurelia, Paula & Natasha, at Vanessa & Pamela.

Ayaw at gusto ko sina Terri & Henry.

American Idol 2008, Wheel of Fortune

Hindi ko naumipisahan yung pinaka-unang episode ng American Idol sa Qtv.

Same auditions. May mga feeling magaling. May mga-overconfidence sa sarili.

OK nasa yung Pinoy version ng Wheel of Fortune, kaya lang, ito ang mga nagpa-pa-pangit, yung pag-ho-host ni Kris Aquino, with matching pagtaas ng kamay niya, na tulad ng napapanood natin bago mag-commercial.

2008 Philippine Blog Awards

The website of Philippine Blog Awards has a new design.

I like the new design, than the old design.

Goodbye to them.

I am so happy that Nathan & Jennifer are eliminated in The Amazing Race 12.  And also, I don't like Shana & Jennifer.

So far, from the start of the 12th edition of TAR, ito ang mga type ko:

Lorena & Jason;

Ronald & Christina;

TK & Rachel;

Nicolas & Donald

Mahirap magsabi kung sino yung gusto kong manalo, pero, I will post next week, regarding the final leg.

Tokyo Tokyo, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, 2008 Jollibee Planner, Kami nAPO Muna CDs

Kumain ako ng Tuna Misono ng Tokyo Tokyo sa 2nd floor ng SM North EDSA.

Nanood ako ng National Treasure: Book of Secrets, sa Cinema 3 ng TriNoMa.

Bumili ako ng 2008 Jollibee Planner sa Jollibee sa ground floor ng TriNoMa.

Bumili ako ng The Ultimate Gift Collection na limited edition ng Kami nAPO Muna at Kami nAPO Muna Ulit sa AstroPlus sa SM North EDSA The Block.

Gising ka na ba?

Nung Christmas Day, maaga ako nagising, pero nung December 28, 2007, Wednesday, na-late ako nagising.



Hindi ko alam kung bakit.



Hindi ko alam kung nakatulog or naidlip ang isang tao sa hapon, kapag matutulog na sa gabi, matagal makatulog sa gabi.

Long time, no post.

Pasensya na kayo kung ngayo ulit ako makakapag-post, kasi nagkasakit yung panganay kong kapatid.
