buzz worthy: TWELVE


It is all about want. No one needs anything here. It is about when you wake up in the morning and the snow is already coming down and its bright between the buildings where the sun falls. But already dark where the shadows are. And its all about want. What do you want? Because if you don't want something you got nothing. You are a drift. You're washed away and then buried under the snows and shadows. And when in the spring the snow melts, no one will remember where you were frozen and buried. And you will no longer be anywhereThese were the lines that struck me most while watching the movie, TWELVE.

Directed by Joel Schumacher, this film talks about drug addiction, violence, sex and all vices there is in a life of a wealthy teenager plus their own family drama and teen angst. It stars Chace Crawford as White Mike who once was a wealthy teenager but now struggling to earn a living by being a drug dealer. Also stars 50 Cent, Emma Roberts, Philip Ettinger, Emily Meade and Kiefer Sutherland as the film's narrator (whom I didn't recognize his voice until I research about this film). All the actors did a great job in portraying their different characters bringing the 'lifestyles of the rich and the famous' to life. Why the title TWELVE? It is because of the name of the addictive drug cocktail, Twelve, in which the movie revolves around wherein White Mike's cousin tried to sell it around town and then gets killed, and one of rich young girl will do anything even giving up her virginity to have a another taste of it. Better not to spoil the movie plot here, go watch it yourself :D

Twelve was released August of last year and I just watched it only recently. I do have a lot of movie marathons to follow. What interest me in this movie is the way the characters were presented and how each of their lives are intertwined with each other. The storyline is quite interesting. Yes, it does have that typical gun shooting and killing since it involves drugs so its not good for types of audiences, children beware. Watch the climax at the end where it all boils down to a shooting spree. Who gets killed and who doesn't? That's for you to find out.

halloween movie pick: COMING SOON

Matapos ang The Ring at The Grudge, heto naman ang isang asian film na hindi nagpatulog sa akin dahil ilang beses din dumalaw sa panaginip si Shomba. Sa sobrang dalas kong mapanaginipan si Shomba, siya na yata ang dream girl ko, hekhekhek.


Coming Soon is a Thai horror film which stars Singer Worrakarn Punch Rotjanawatchra, Sakulrath Thomas, and Chantavit Dhanasevi, in the directorial debut for Sophon Sakdaphisit, co-writer of Thai films "Shutter" and "Alone" (credits to wikipedia for this and the movie poster, ang hirap kasi ng mga pangalan nila). Nagustuhan ko din ang Shutter dahil sa kakaibang twist sa kwento nito lalo na yung multo na nakasakay sa balikat mo. Parehong grupo din pala ang gumawa nito kaya naman iba kung manakot, iba talaga ang mga asian horror films pagdating sa takutan :D
Ang kwento ay umiikot sa isang horror movie din na binalak piratahin ni lead actor at irecord ito sa kanyang cam. Nagsimula ang kababalaghan at katatakutan habang pinapalabas ang pelikula at pawang ang mga eksena dito ay nangyayari din sa kanya. Magulo na yata ang synopsis ko, basta panoorin nyo to ng masindak at magulat kay Shomba. Pagtiyagaan lamang magbasa ng subtitles para maintindihan ang buong istorya, wala pa yatang naka-dub version nito.


Kung isa kang fan ng mga asian horror films, malamang nasa listahan mo na ang Coming Soon. Kung hindi mo pa napapanood ito, wag ng magpahuli at tiyaking may kasamang manood, hehehe..

Angels and Demons

I had this dilemma of reading the book first before watching its film adaptation or the movie first before the book. We all know Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and when it hit the market a few years back, I first read the book before watching the movie and the film is quite good than the book.

So I was hoping for the same effect on its second installment which is actually its prequel, Angels and Demon. It took me a year to actually finished the book (that is why I am only making this post now) because I was preoccupied in juggling different matters and endure the temptation of not watching the movie when everyone else already saw it, only to be disappointed. The film did not give that much justice to the book, believe me.


There are lot of differences between the two. Certain characters were not present or they were change to a different one. Also, the storyline differs to somehow fit the entire book into a 2-hour or more film. Its much better to read the book first before watching the movie. But both, movie and book, gives the same fast-paced, heart-pounding mystery equipped with conspiracy theories and the 'science versus religion clash' that will keep you awed and interested until the very end. That's the Dan Brown bestseller.

running through my head

funny how a certain place 
reminds you of a certain someone;
that certain look,
that certain smile,
that certain moment..


then the memories came rushing back,
memories that once was sweet,
memories that was always treasured..


those times when only you matter,
those times when everything is bright and shiny
in a world that you and I only exist..


missing,
longing,
then..
snap!


back to reality,
back to the fact that all is gone,
gone and always will be.

salty dog


Drunk. Wasted. Crazy.
Yan ang naging lagay ko last week dahil sa aking birthday. Ikaw ba naman uminom ng iba't ibang alak at beers kung hindi ka malasing at macoma kinabukasan dahil sa hangover.


But what i like most is the grape vodka mix ng aking nanay na nilaklak ko ng nilaklak sa sarap. 'Salty dog' daw ang tawag nito sabi ng aking HRM na pinsan na hindi ko alam kung paano naging maalat na aso ang cocktail drink na 'to kaya nigoogle ko ito at ang sabi ni wikipedia ay; Salty Dog is a cocktail of vodka and grapefruit juice, served in a glass with a salted rim. Marahil dahil sa salted rim ng glass kung saan ito sineserve kaya naging 'salty' pero bakit naman naging 'dog'? Anyways, heto ang recipe para masubukan nyo.


What you need:
photo taken from google images
1 litro pack (35grams) grape flavored instant drink mix
350ml vodka
10 pcs. calamansi
1 glass water
ice


Mix all ingredients sa isang pitcher (of course, kailangan pigain ang kalamansi at tanggalin ang buto dahil yun juice lang ang kailangan). Tang litro pack na grape flavor ang ginamit nila at pwede ring Gin ang gamitin pamalit sa Vodka dahil nang maubos ang vodka ay naging Ginebra Gin na lang. You can also add any amounts of those ingredients to suite your taste. Serve with ice or chilled. Finished product will look like the picture pero mas purple nga lang, wala kasi akong pic nun dahil wasted na nga ako. Try it and enjoy!

GENSAN TRIP

I'm back. Its been a while since I my last post dahil sa mga kaganapan sa aking buhay at isa na dito ay magbakasyon. My mom is from Gensan and we often go there to visit my lola and relatives during summer. Since I recently resigned from my work (and I'm still unemployed as of this writing), I got a chance to take a vacation and here's the highlights...
First of all, kudos sa highways at roads sa GenSan dahil maluwag, malinis at concrete ito making it easy for travelers. Sarap din ang fresh air na sasalubong sa inyo.
 
LONDON BEACH
There are different beaches in Gensan that you can choose from. Tabi-tabi na nga sila kaya hindi ka na mahihirapan sa paghahanap. My cousins suggest that we go to London Beach na ayon sa kanila ay hindi crowded masyado dahil ito ang pinakadulong beach resort.
Not so fine sand pero pwede na. Medyo malumot din un beach at mag-ingat sa mga sea cucumber dahil  na biktima nila ang paa ko.
Boundary wall ng resort kung saan may malaking cottage na good for big families. Maulan ng kami ay pumunta dyan kaya medyo gloomy ang pic na to.
Cousins at kapatid ko na walang tigil kakapose. I really like this orange wall which makes a good background. 

KCC MALL OF GENSAN
After beach bumming, we went to the mall to watch Deathly Hallows (backlog post ko ito dahil July pa 'tong vacation na ito kaya first showing week ng Harry Potter). 90php lang ang 3D cinema sa KCC may kasama pa yun popcorn, sulit!
At ngayon ko lang ulet nakita ang 'old school' movie ticket na yan :)


PAHAYAHAY

Para sa mga naghahanap ng night life, there are a few bars where you can hang-out and local coffee shops around the city. The only problem is that magkakalayo ang mga 'to unlike sa Manila where everything is at one place. One more thing, its almost 11pm when we decide to go out but most of the bars na pinuntahan namin ay closed na. So we went to 'Pahayahay' and this word literary means 'to relax'. I haven't got much pictures of this bar but what I can say is that reggae inspired ito at acoustic ang tinutogtog ng band (dahil acoustic nights nun pumunta kami). What interest me is that their drinks are named after a movie.
'The Devil Wears Prada' na nakalimutan ko na kung ano ang mix at ang kanilang tequila sunrise na nakalimutan ko naman ang equivalent movie name at ang RH beer. Affordable din ang mga prices dito.
Yummy fries na may 3 different dips. Those two are the only pics I have, napasarap sa gimik e :)


That's all for now. I only spent 3 days lang kasi. Hope I'll be back to Gensan para malibot pa ang must see places.

haitus

- may refer to Recess (break) 
- Hiatus, a small difference in pitch between two musical tones (see Interval (music)
- Hiatus (linguistics), a phonological term referring to the lack of a consonant separating two vowels in separate syllables, as in co-operation 
- Hiatus (television), a break of several weeks or more in television scheduling 
- Hiatus, a discontinuity in the age of strata in stratigraphy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiatus


Ang mga kadahilanan kung bakit ito ang post ko ngayon:

 - magre-resign na sa current work at magiging official tambay after this week. nagresign ng walang malilipatan trabaho, wrong move ba ako?

 - kailangan ng pahinga mula sa stress ng lahat, category: tao, hayop, bagay, lugar, pagkain pangyayari, at iba pang ipapahula sa pinoy henyo


 - davao/gensan at palawan trip na hindi ko naplano ng maayos at sa mga susunod pang adventure, buti pa si dora na lakwatsera kahit walang pera.


 - hindi alam ang gagawin sa buhay, kailangan ko na yata ng restart button ng computer o mas malala, reformat na kailangan ko

...makapagyosi na nga lang, ang aking instant stress reliever

30 Day Song Challenge
song that reminds me of a certain event: Miss Independent by Ne-Yo


This song reminds me of our company christmas party back in 2008. Its my first time to attend and that marks my one year employment. Can't think of anything to add but that has been a great party. I'ved been with Trend for 3 years and a half but sadly, I am resigning and will surely miss my coworkers and friends who's been with me in those great years :(

Day 06: A song that reminds you of somewhere

30 Day Song Challenge
song that reminds me of somewhere: Pure Shores by All Saints


This song reminds me of all the refreshing beaches here in the Phils. that I already visited. Sarap magbabad sa beach with this song at the background, a feel-good song for a refreshing and relaxing vacation.. Sakto pa na ito ang soundtrack ng Leonardo DiCaprio movie, The Beach. If I'm not mistaken, this song was written for that movie which was released in year 2000. I wonder where is the All Saints band now?

Day 05: A song that reminds you of someone

30 Day Song Challenge
song that reminds me of someone: Grow Old With You by Adam Sandler


Ang kanta ni ex sa akin. Still remember the kulitan at mga asukal habang nakikinig sa kantang ito ngunit wala ng saysay at hanggang reminisce na lang dahil naglahong parang bula si ex. Even though we ended up badly, still holds no grudge to this song, salamat sa (500) Days of Summer. Tatapusin ko na 'to bago pa mag-emo nanaman ako :D

Day 04: A song that makes you sad

30 Day Song Challenge
song that makes me sad: Sandali Lang by Silent Sanctuary


pic taken from google images
Pagpacensyahan na po ang video dahil wala akong mahanap na matino sa youtube. Ang kanta para sa mga heartbroken na umaasa pa din at hindi makamove on na tulad ko, hehe.. Ilang buwan din nagasgas ang album na 'to sa aking ipod dati dahil sa paulit-ulit-ulit na pakikinig at page-emo. Best played during umuulan at ikaw ay nakadungaw sa bintana na nakatitig sa kawalan.

This song is part of their second album, Fuchsiang Pag-ibig, which was released in 2007. It includes the hits Rebound, Ikaw Lamang, Kundiman and Summer Song. You may visit their official website here for updates on Silent Santuary band.

Day 03: A song that makes you happy

30 Day Song Challenge
song that makes me happy: Push by Avril Lavigne



This song is part of her latest album "Goodbye Lullaby" which was released this year. Been an Avril fan since her 'Complicated' song came out in 2002. What I liked most about her is the punk rock style that she bring in to her music wherein listeners would easily recognize that its her own signature plus the necktie and tank-top combination of clothing. But new album now, as I may say, gives us a new side of her. It still has that Avril-rock-angst but more on a pop-hip-attitude, still I like her :)

Here's the track listing of her "Goodbye Lullaby" album:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodbye_Lullaby
1. Black Star
2. What the Hell
3. Push
4. Wish You Were Here
5. Smile
6. Stop Standing There
7. I Love You
8. Everybody Hurts
9. Not Enough
10. 4 Real
11. Darlin
12. Remember When
13. Goodbye
14. Alice (extended version)

Day 01: Your favourite song

30 Day Song Challenge
my all-time favorite song: Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls


First heard it on the 'City of Angels' movie and it instantly became one of my favorites. I was still in high school when this song became famous and I never knew the Goo Goo Dolls back then, siguro I was not into rock/alternative genre dati kasi puro pop bands pa uso nung 90's. But after hearing this song, I was eager to look forward to their other songs and the MTV channel was the one that introduce them to me. I was then hooked to their catchy rock sound and cant get enough playing their song such over and over again. Other tracks that I like was Here is Gone, Slide, Big Machine and Name. Their "Greatest Hits Volume One" album is sure keeper to all those Goo Goo Dolls fans and to those who aren't, I'm sure that you will love this also.

Here's the track listing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_Hits_Volume_One:_The_Singles
1. Let Love In
2. Dizzy
3. Here Is Gone
4. Slide
5. Name (New Version)
6. Stay With You
7. Before It's Too Late
8. Broadway
9. Feel The Silence
10. Better Days
11. Big Machine
12. Black Balloon
13. Sympathy

14. Iris
Hope you'll enjoy it too..

karmin cover

buzz worthy: Karmin

another youtube sensation that is making waves in the music scene. first heard of karmin when a friend of mine posted their video of super bass, their own cover of the nicki minaj song. i was then hooked at how the female vocalist raps effortlessly. so i did a little youtubing and found out their other cover songs. their cover song for the chris brown's "look at me now" made a 21,244,580 views as of this writing and still counting. they also appeared on the ellen show because of this cover song.

montemar beach resort

puyat sa company outing...

kahapon ginanap ang summer outing ng company namin at mabuti namang hindi kami nabagyo unlike sa first batch na kasabay ni chedeng. it was held at montemar beach club sa bagac, bataan which is a 2 or 3 hour ride from our office in ortigas. i was able to take a few pictures of the venue (konti lang kasi ine-enjoy ko talaga yun outing na naging 'pahinga away from work') and here they are:
the beach
clear waters, buti na lang hindi ako nakaligo dahil makati daw sa dagat
tree house na may hanging bridge, sarap maginuman dito :D
looks easy enough to cross? try mo. hehehe..
a view from the top of the tree house, malawak un resort na to
another view from the tree house, yun green pool yan
videoke sa beachfront, malapit lang sa dagat kaya pwedeng pwedeng lunurin agad ang mga singers na masakit sa eardrums kumanta :D
they do have other amenities aside from the videoke that you can try pagbored ka nang lumublob sa dagat. just check their website here.
and my favorite, sunset. pasensya na sa quality ng mga pictures, camera phone lang gamit ko e :)
hindi ko na nahintay na lumubog ang araw dahil may activities pang nakahain ang company namin.
this 2-day summer outing was fun but unfortunately, diretso sa shift ako kaya bangag sa puyat at hangover ako ngayon. anyways, its all worth it :)

what happened in nagsasa cove zambales

matapos ang humigit-kumulang na 3-hour ride, im back at zambales after a year. ive'd been to anawangin and this time, overnight sa nagsasa cove naman at capones island the following day. sadly, hindi kami natuloy sa capones dahil hindi nakasama ang panahong may chedeng at naging maalon ang dagat. kaya naman ito lang ang nagyari sa nagsasa trip namin:
beach bumming - magpakasawa sa kakalangoy isabay na dyan ang sunbathing kung gusto mong magpaka-tostado at beach volley sa mga gustong magpagod
trekking - ang mahigit isang oras na pagkakalad sa iba't ibang tanawin ng nagsasa papunta sa isang falls na hindi ko man lang nalaman ang pangalan
rock climbing - isa sa mga highlight ng trekking. ganyan kataas lang naman ang aakyatin mo, beginners stage lang, sisiw! hehehe..
take a dip sa falls na hindi ko talaga alam ang pangalan nito, ingat lang dahil may kalaliman diyan
beach camping - walang hotels/resorts dun kaya kailangang ng tent na matutulugan (kay khanto pala galing 'tong pic)
and of course, my fave sunset! magchillax sa beach habang papalubog ang araw
yan lang ang nabaon kong pics dahil low bat na ang aking phone at wala palang kuryente sa nagsasa. marami pa namang pwedeng gawin sa nagsasa including ang matulog dahil maaga akong natulog sa aming tent right after ng diner (kain-tulog, sarap!) puyat nga kasi ako, hehehe..

salamat nga pala sa Lakwatsero Tour Club for this trip :D
