shaken, rattled, and rolled, but not stirred...

wouldn't it have been a better marketing ploy if casino royale was released next year? 007 = 2007. golly, why didn't they think of that?

what do you guys think of my new header? the chick in the pic by the way is none other than the deliciously busty model keeley hazell. google her and give your eyes something to feast on. it's good for the health, you know. anyways, here's my lucky list of the 13 movies i must watch on 2007 (again, for the uninformed, first twelve's in random order, entry #13 takes the top rank).

1. children of men - good premise in the hands of a good director, alfonso cuaron. this was actually released this year, but has yet to be shown in philippine theaters. darn it.

2. the host - the kickass big monster movie from korea. which hollywood's gonna try and remake soon. oh, come on.

3. arthur and the invisibles - luc besson's live action / cgi movie. i'm there.

4. jumper - about a dude who has teleportation powers. cool. title's the same with one of my favorite songs, and a character i once created for a story. double cool. samuel l jackson's in it. muthafuckin cool.

5. pan's labyrinth - gulliermo del toro's fairy tale for adults. again, released last year, but not in this country. nah-uh.

6. the simpsons movie - aye carumba! a simpsons movie?! finally! everyone's been waiting a long time for this. better late than later.

7. pirates of the carribean: at world's end - the potc movies have been so much fun to watch. now way im missing the final chapter of this trilogy.

8. grindhouse - two names: robert rodriguez and quentin tarantino.

9. fantastic four: rise of the silver surfer - saw the trailer and was completely blown away by norrin radd. you know, the silver surfer. must-see movie because of him and galactus of course! well, them and the human torch. the most of all, jessica alba.

10. 300 - gimme my war movies! doesn't matter when it happened. just give me war! swords! blood! underwearless women!

11. tmnt - the heroes in a half-shell are back, now in cgi form! cowabunga, dude!

12. transformers - hallelujah to the highest! aw, man, i'm gonna be a kid again. autobots, roll out!

13. spider-man 3 - no surprise here. as a big spider-fan, this movie isn't a must-see, it's a will-see. there is absolutely nothin that can stop me from going to the theater and watching our friendly neighborhood spider-man duke it out with sandman, green goblin.2, and, oh, yes, true believers, venom! fuck, i'd buy tickets now if i could!

that's it for my quickie lucky list. no hostel 2 or saw 3 because as much as i do want to see both of them, i've always felt like such movies shouldn't have sequels. no harry potter either because i aint much of a harry potter fan. hermione, yes. they should start letting her do other movies, you know? so anyhow, got no theater companion anymore right now. anyone wanna fill in the spot?

i know i promised the details regarding my recent ordeal, but to hell with it. i'm done with that episode. i just want peace. not happiness, not a new girlfriend, not a one-way ticket to canada but just plain and simple peace. of mind, of heart, of ears (to whoever thought of prohibiting the "boga", i owe you a beer). i just want to live my life the way it is for now. do what i want to do, go where i want to go, sleep as much as i want, play the ps2 as much as i want. because freedom is the right of all sentient beings (thanks, optimus prime). i mean, yeah, i'm alone, but it's cool. just glad that it's over. but she did push through with her plans. there goes my kid. would've been an archaeologist or something.

what a way to end the year, eh? hope this following year is brimming with positivity since i seem to have exceeded my problem quota for one year. nonetheless, thank you for eking through 2006 with me. may 2007 be good to you, too. happy new year, fuckers.

holy dog, saint horse

about a couple of weeks ago, i went out with a friend who has been my friend for a long time but one whom i've never met in person. thank the irc/ym for that set up. there's actually another one that i've yet to see in the flesh despite the fact that we're both in manila now. been friends with her since 1998 i think, and there's quite a story in there too but i'll tell you about it when i do get the chance to physically interact with her. i guess maybe she doesn't want to see me or something like that. or busy as hell like me. (busy, busy, busy! i'm getting tired of that word) anyways, this friend that i managed to wrangle and spend time with me didn't look like the rock chick i was expecting her to be, you know, tats and piercings, eyeliner and stuff. anyways, we scampered to the cool place named saguijo and had a couple of rounds of beer while some local bands performed. dong abay of the late yano did his thing, which was cool, refused to sing their big hit in the past. hence, this entry's title. but hold your hamsters, that's not just it. it does have a connection with what i'm about to tell you now...

but first, welcome again to my blog. there will be no talkbacks today. i'll just ramble on about the recent past, which explains why i haven't been blogging lately. the story of my life, one that at first i was reluctant to tell. but fuck it, people need to know about stuff like this. one of the many reasons why: it could actually save lives. have i piqued your interest enough? intrigued enough to stay and read on? is the suspense killing you yet? should i go ahead and type the darn thing instead of asking these questions? okay! here we go.

wait. one of the factors that hindered me from doing any personal activities is the avp i was tasked to edit for our family company's 50th anniversary. that meant lack of sleep for days because i still went to work at night, which caused me to miss its presentation after i've finished it a little over an hour before. anyways, on to the main course.

if the chair you're sitting on has seatbelts, i highly recommend buckling up.

for unnecessary artistic purposes (my blog, my rules), to view the message you have to use your mouse to highlight it. start after the x below.

x i have left layla because she cheated on me with a guy who is married and has a kid, and now she's telling me she's pregnant with my son and she wants to abort it.

that's it. details next time.
