this week in disses and likes

I diss...
the weather
the heat and the afternoon rain is a sure combination for the flu

the price of the cinemas in MOA
what makes them so special? greenbelt has better sound
and seats and you charge the same price? this is sm for godsakes

T2
I can't believe I paid 170 bucks for this turd, well it's not entirely crappy all the way. What started as a scary opus turned out to be fantasy crap.
the convoluted storyline plus casting carmen soo as an engkanto didn't help either.
and this movie raked in 70 million,wow?

the cops and the media in the Ted Failon case
they're so irresponsible in giving out too many details of the investigation
they arrested the relatives for questioning while the victim is on the brink of death
this sums it up for plice treatment in the Phils.

The media particularly, ABS-CBN was too one-sided on this one.
the cops weren't even able to explain their action.
a little bit too defensive on ted perhaps?
I have read that the victim's relatives were uncooperative with the cops, hence the "treatment." honestly, everybody's a loser here. Sad how low some people can go in the interest of ratings. Don't forget the KSP lapdogs of the govt. who also had a hand in making this case a circus.

Korina Sanchez
the way she tagalizes English words, your effort in helping the Pinoys understand is good. but She makes me squirm everytime she mentions "sincero" or "efficiente" Why don't you just use Tagalog. Sa tingin ko naman naiintindihan ng mga tao ano ibig sa bihin ng sincere and efficient, di ba?

Nike happy place in Rufino Tower
few stocks here and there, its not the same old happy place we know

Greenwich John Lloyd and Bea tvc soundtrack
Using Odette Queseda's Friend of Mine was a soundtrack for cheesiness was unneccessary. Plus its Odette, she's like the greatest OPM composer ever.

I like...
Amici's Gelato
a tub (1 kilo, i think) is just 400 bucks or 50 per scoop
it tastes good, and all the varieties are just savory good
Mickey's has good gelato too although it's more expensive

Red Cliff
This is indeed John Woo's recent masterpiece. The scenes are spectacular and although the writers had a free hand in tweaking historical figures and facts, the epic turned out great. This is China's answer to Lord of the Rings. Military strategy is amazing. Catch it on DVD.

Arnold Clavio and Mike Enriquez
Arnold's Air Hour idea is funny, witty and should be taken seriously. Imagine politicians not talkiing for one hour? They might as well not breathe. Although I miss Arnold and Ali's jeng-jeng segment. It's great to hear Arnold make a cameo on Mike's show.

Adidas new Greenbelt megastore
i love, love, love space.

Globe broadband Tattoo tvc
very, very tastefully done. Kudos to Stephen and the agency
the tattoos looked amazing, congrats ricci chan

Laiya in Colour






these pics had a makeover via iphoto. now they look better. don't you agree?

weather-weather

the weather has gone bonkers.
after days of the scorching sun,
it now rains during the summer season.

its not that i'm complaining,
i'd savor a few drops from the April rain.
But i heard from the radio there was hail in Cagayan?
Wow, that's new!

And as expected, PAGASA blames the Intertropical Convergence Zone for this phenomenon. When all else fails, point your fingers on the the super vague.
Your fall guy. The usual suspect. Intertropical Convergence Zone. What a word.
