What a Shocker!!!

Really, what a shocker! My eyes have been opened.

I Know Him so Well

Below is a video of I Know Him so Well as sung by Elaine Paige and Barbra Dickson:



Wonderful song

Wonderful voices

Terrible hair

Terrible clothes (looks like they appear in Dynasty)

Terrible setting (they're in a disco? or just a home with neon lights? and in those clothes?)

So 80s. It's better to just close your eyes and listen rather than watch and find everything you see funny.

Clash of the Titans

Yesterday, I watched Clash of the Titans in Greenbelt 3 with my father. (He went to Manila with me last Saturday night so he can watch Clash of the Titans in 3d).

I didn't have high expectations for this movie and yet I still came away disappointed. The movie is not bad but I think other epic movies have done far far better than this.

For one, the 3D effect are so few that I believe it wouldn't have made a difference had I watched it in regular 2D. (Actually, I would be less disappointed with the movie if I watched in regular 2D since I wouldn't be expecting Avatar-like 3D. (Like most movies of large budget released after Avatar, I think Clash of the Titans added some 3D scenes to their regularly filmed movies so it can cheat customers out of more bucks).

Another thing, watching the movie makes me think that this is a ripoff of Lord of the Rings in many ways. The walk from Argos to the three witches seems like the long journey from the Rivendell to Mordor; the scense of stone-faced people riding the scorpion things are very much like the big-elephant riding mercenaries of the Battle of Gondor. (Lord of the Rings, being a great movie, ruined all subsequent epic movies).

Sam Worthington - first thought: was he cast in this movie because of his acting chops in front of a greenscreen in Avatar? Performance-wise, couldn't judge since my thought all along the movie was he was hired because of his "experience" in front of a greenscreen.

Gemma Atterton - pretty lady. Why does she have to wear a dirty (gray) mop over her one-shouldered dress?

Tony Hoult (the guy who played Eusebios) - he's kinda cute. I was wondering why he was in the movie - seems out of place. Was he put there because he is a boylet of the director/casting director/producer?

Over-all, I was disappointed. This should be watched only in 2D.

Turning 30 Next Year

I just turned 29 last March 25th. Next year I'll be turning 30 and am wondering if I've done anything worthwhile in my life.

Holy week reflection, Jesus began His ministry when he was 30th and died on his 33rd year yet he made such an impact on the world.

Hopefully, it's not too late to start making an impact.

Turning 29

Today I turned 29.

I'm reminded that I'm getting older and older with seemingly nothing to show for it.

I'm getting the feeling that I have not accomplished any great thing yet.

* * * * *

I'm thankful for a well-paying job that pays the bills (if I thoroughly enjoy it is another matter).

I'm thankful for a loving family.

I'm thankful for a loving bf.

I'm thankful for good friends.

And I'm thankful for being alive.

Refuge during a Zombie Plague

I was looking at stuff in www.2leep.com and found this picture:



It's supposedly a hunting lodge somewhere in Iceland.

This would be perfect in a period when zombies would overrun the earth (which in my mind is like a dream I'd like to see happening). There's no electricity (but if zombies do overrun the earth, there will be no electricity since noone will man the power stations) and water is collected from the rain.

(Somewhere along the linked pages, I found this page: http://coolmaterial.com/cool-list/essential-gear-to-survive-zombie-attack/. Coincidence).

Joining Twitter

I finally joined twitter.

This after months or a year of hearing about it.

I don't expect anyone to follow my twits (twits doesn't sound good).

I will also not twit each and every thing I do.

Just want an outlet for thoughts that are too short for a full blog post.
