An Inconvenient Truth (Al Gore talks about Global Warming)

***I urge you all to blog about, post, talk about, share, simply act on this. Watch it. It is a great clip to think of.***

Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore’s personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. “Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message,” said Guggenheim. An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. “It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely.”

After Sex

AFTER SEX is an edgy relationship comedy that uses sex as a background to examine intimacy and vulnerability. It’s a humorous, yet honest look at the complexity of modern day relationships told through nine separate couples. Through witty dialogue and compromising situations, the film takes us from the beginning of a relationship to the aftermath of one, and examines every stage in between while somehow finding humor within the drama, heartache and confusion of it all. What is learned about human emotions and vulnerability is enlightening and entertainingly sexy and fun.

Watch this movie. I just did.

Holy Week 2008

Holy Week 2008 pictures here.
Will blog about it next time or when I feel like talking about it.

Bad Company

Another movie to watch: BAD COMPANY with Chris Rock. Stream it here. Hope it remains available for some time 'til you get to this blog/page.

Vantage Point

One of the movies I watched over the weekend was Vantage Point.

With a Rashomon narrative style, the attempted assassination of the president is told from five different perspectives. In Spain to give a speech announcing an anti-terrorism initiative, the U. S. President (William Hurt) is apparently shot. The action tracks Secret Service agent Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) as he deals with the chaos following the shooting. We see the event first through the eyes of the television news director (Sigourney Weaver), then the scenes rewind and we see it again from several different perspectives.

Great movie to watch too!

Again, found it at Moviesniffing. Click on one of the links on the page to stream the movie.

Meet The Spartans

The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing but leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of 13–count ‘em, 13!–Spartans to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers, and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton–no one is safe when the Spartans take on the biggest icons in pop culture).
Found this movie at moviesniffing. The link that I used to stream the movie is here. Watch it! Enjoy! And melt your heart out!

BEWARE: SMART *888 Customer Care

I have called SMART's Hotline too rarely. In those few occasions I have compared the service I received from SMART and GLOBE. So far, SMART's Customer Care is the WORST, ever! Wait time is horrible, for one. Add to that the atrocity that the persons answering your calls give. Damn! Not only do they lack english skills but they also lack the information that you need! They would answer rhetorically. Apart from that these people really have attitudes! They don't know how to handle calls. Imagine one Rep telling me to properly use the phone or else they would drop the call and the moment I said "Excuse me" after that was thin air! Voila! She was gone! They are really horrible as monsters and very atrocious! I almost have my calls dropped the moment I speak English and ask them to repeat what they have just said due to poor grammar. They make me sick and nose-bleed! I tell you... Before you call this *888 number with your mobile phone get a glass of water, turn your air conditioning to the max, grab a pain reliever or worse something for the heart. Think more than twice! I am warning you!

Dr. Dolittle: Tail To The Chief

Maya Dolittle, who can talk to animals like her father, is placed on special assignment by the President of the United States of America. Dr. Dolittle: Tail To The Chief is a 2008 American comedy film, starring Kyla Pratt. The movie tells us not to give up, that failures are a part of success and what is important is what we do with the failures after it happens.
"Keep swinging!"
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
"Failure is a part of life even for successful people. The trick is, what are you gonna do about the failure? Are you gonna quit or are you gonna keep on swingin'?"

Panagbenga 2008

I swear I had no idea when I said YES to the trip to Baguio that it was for Panagbenga 2008, much to my surprise! Just in time with the Nursing Board's release. While having my feet done Ate was overjoyed with the results of the exam. She passed the board, finally! And so I oferred to treat her to Baguio City. I was going there anyway and travelling single. *Without much ado, Paul, She, Ate and I went to Baguio Friday afternoon (Feb 22) via the 2pm Victory Liner trip. The travel was a bit gruesome at 7 hrs arriving Baguio at past 9pm. My back ached! It was biting cold. Yes, the gush of wind was seeping through my bones, trembling. My thin frame was shaking and looking for the warmth of another human. *We stopped at Mocha Blends to have coffee while waiting for the ride to Paul's house. To my surprise someone called Pau saying that there was a dare for a meet-and-greet thing. Pau's "Boo" was there too! Another boylet in the making! Pau's place was a 15-20 minute drive away from town. The place is called IRISAN. *Noteworthy was Pau's handsome teen-age brother Tadj. I didn't have his pic though. Bad. Sinalubong nya si "ate." How sweet. I fell inlove. Love-at-first-sight. *We went out the following day, Saturday, and watched the Parade. I ate strawberry taho to which I suspected as the culprit for my sore throat that lasted until I arrived Manila without any relief. Same day we went to Strawberry Farm. The vendors know how to appease customers. Ako nga binola na nagpa-rebond eh! The stalls are right along the way and the items from all sorts are cheap. Of course, all Baguio. *Wasn't really feeling well any longer. Had to buy medicines and gargle too often. Drink lotsa water. Until the following day came I had to shift medicines to antihistamine for my Allergic Rhinitis. Until I arrived Manila not feeling relieved at all. I had my Doctor's call this morning. We shifted to another medicine. *Anyway, we also stopped at SM Baguio (the loft area was great). Dined at ZOLA. Had the chance to eat at a posh Japanese Resto (Emperor's Court, parang kainan sa loob ng motel). Drank at Ala Carte Grill and Bar. Sang at Red Lion (Legarda). Filled our tanks at CALTEX Cafe.
*At Red Lion the room was co-occupied by screaming mommas! They were wild like Pros. Old as they look. Pero maasim.
*My savings ATM Card was lost. So I ran into a dilemma of cash shortage and had to resort to choosing places to dine and unwind that accepts the credit card. While Ate was a victim of pick-pocket loosing her MENTOS, hahaha. *Pau was unbelievable. He had 2 men going gaggah over HIM. Samantalang nilangaw ang beauty ko. HE was too busy with HIS men that we barely had time to rampa! Unlike Juno who has a world of his own, I am not crazy! Ask Pau about Mokz and Jojit. See the pics! Grabe! Pinagaagawan sya ng isang PILAY at isang BI. May rhyme pa! *We missed watching the floral parade coz (1) they were busy drinking the night before until early morning ( I went home ahead to rest) and (2) it was raining! Oh we have been drinking every night pala. And they were drinking heavily. I had to rest. *The weather was really cold! Imagine fog at ground zero during noon!
*Baguio was simply CROWDED specially Session Rd. Seem like Baguio was so small that it was ONLY Session Rd that people know of.
*Taking panoramic pictures is one of the best things you can do in Baguio. I just didn't have the right camera for that though and barely had training on how to get these pictures with the right exposures.
*Before leaving they served Pinekpekan, hahaha. Kidding. Don't know how they spell it!
*Leg room of the bus going back to Manila was cramped. Seats were closer compared to the previous bus but the ride was faster at 5 hrs.
