Breaking Dawn


It was the book that redeemed Bella. I love it! Breaking Dawn didnt disappoint me. I just enjoyed the fact that the clans formed an alliance to save Nessie and yes, her name was a handful. One of the reasons why i appreciated the book because the characters matured. I cant wait for this to be a movie, its like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Starstudded.

Tree Hugger



I love trees. This is the tree in ATC beside Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I cant wait for this big baby to be decorated this Christmas.

I love how the leaves crawled its way to the trunk. Its so Jack and the Beanstalk.

Childhood favorite

I clearly remember my mom bringing me to Makati Supermarket and ordering spaghetti for me. Its a comfort to know that i could always relive that memory. The supermarket in Makati is gone but its still alive and kickin in ATC. So Yehey! for living in the South.

Just looking at it makes me want some more. Its sweet and tangy and cheesy, not your ketchup laden spag. I could finish one order in 5 minutes. Of course i need to chew the food. For those who havent try it...please do. For sure, its a classic.

The three designer's Leanne, Karto and Kenley with their pieces.

Congratulations Leanne !!!

Hats off to Leanne for winning Project Runway season 5. I like her structural dresses but im more of a Karto fan. I never saw Karto win as much time as she deserves to and at the end its still not her. Sad sad but thats how it is. Goodjob to Kenley for bringing the Alice in Wonderland in play for the collection.

War of the Maki

I am such a maki fan. It started with California Maki since thats the most friendly looking one. hahaha, is there such a thing? Anyway, now im hooked with Omakase's Jurassic Maki. Everytime im there that's a constant order. While walking in Southmall i passed by Rai Rai Ken. I havent been to the latter and was curious if their maki would be at par with Omakase's. So one day, Hanz and I had merienda in Rai Rai Ken and realized that its a Ramen House. Again, my first time. We ordered Ramen and tried there Miso, Gyudon and their Jurassic Maki. We did that to make sure we could compare the taste from Omakase to Teriyaki Boy and Tokyo Tokyo hehehe.

Before i start, let me first introduce the Jurassic Maki so you know why im making a big fuzz out of it. It has : ebi tempura, kani, ebiko, salmon skin and unagi. Price wise its around 250php for both resto.


Omakase's Jurassic Maki served with Garlic Mayo and that soy perhaps. I dont know whats with the dip but its so sinful. This has a thicker unagi serving. Crunchy and very tasty.


Rai Rai Ken's Jurassic Maki, served with Wasabi mayo dip. Whilst this one has a longer unagi. I cant eat it whole in one go so i need to eat the top portion first. Which left me in thinking that the serving is larger.

The verdict: Im a very loyal customer, so its still Omakase's Jurassic Maki but if at anytime i would crave for it and its inconvenient to go to Alabang, then ill settle for Rai Rai Ken.

A Rollercoaster

Since im at home trying to get my body back into shape from the accident i encountered last friday, i got time to hear mass with the family and time alone in the pc.

Project Runway is one episode away from Bryant Park. It was really a rollercoaster. Tim Gunn is so sweet. He gave out a speech and shed a tear of care for the remaining four finalist. I was really glued to my seat when the judges announced the last designers name for Fashion Week. Unfortunately, i was sad to see Jorell go.

In this episode you would also see how Kenley was appreciated by Tim and why she looks like a pin up girl, coz her grandma was one. Cool!

The Second Coming

Sometimes it doesn't make sense or i just don't want to make sense out of it. I was waiting for almost an hour for episode 1 to complete and when im almost done watching it, it said You have watched 69 mins of the video today. Please wait 119 minutes to enjoy blah blah blah. Well i cant object,im watching it for free.

So are you ready for spoilers? hahahaha

Of course i wont give it to you. Just my menial observation on the show.
The same old character which gives you a familiar feeling of watching the show. The fear i have with Sylar is still haunting me. Hiro is still funny, shallow and very persistent and Suresh, he turned into a human version of Sylar, power hungry. Nathan, turned cookoo.

Excerpts from Episode 1 from Nathan Petrelli:
We are all connected. We fight our own personal battles but we are not alone.
Only together can we make our short time in this planet we can mean something, we can be stewards of our own destiny

I am currently buffering the first episode of Heroes season 3. Im so excited. Sayang, Hanz is still in the office, i dont have somebody to watch it with.

Eclipse

It took me almost a month to finish this. Everytime i read it i wanted Victoria to kill Bella for me. hahaha. angry me. It has the same pacing like the second book, Slow in the beginning and it gets interesting in the last 4 chapters. I missed Edward and Alice so much thus letting me get hooked on the book. Aside from them saving the annoying girl and making a big fuzz in the vampire and werewolf world, i have no choice but to read Bella Swan and try not to take it personally. hahaha.

What i like about it? Having newborn vampires and the fight scene.
What i feel was suppose to be kilig moments but i didnt fancy it as well, was the fact that Jacob, Bella and Edward are in one tent. Plus the fact that they call each other names like, bloodsucker and leech and Dr.Fang to mongrel and dog.

Over all impact. Im just glad ive finished the book and im off to book 4. hahaha. I just want to be a Cullen!!!

A bucket of popcorn....a movie review

What would you do if you have time to spare? Do a dvd marathon.


A story of a girl who was born with a snout. Very interesting because at this day and age, the snout cant be surgically removed, cause it would kill her. The only solution to have it grow back to a nose is if she would marry a blue blooded man and will show her unconditional love. Since it is a fairytale movie, she got the man she wanted in the end. How she had her nose back, you've got to watch it for yourself. All i can say is that acceptance of whatever form, can free you. Her clothes are a plus in this movie.


Ive been waiting to watch this for the longest time and im so glad to get a copy of Mamma Mia. Not just for the storyline, i wanted to listen to the songs too. The location was grand and the story is so amusing. Hanz was even singing along. Everybody can sing and the ending..it was a blast. Im such a fan of musicals. I remembered my mom the whole time i was watching it. Wish i could watch the broadway version of this with her. Soon, when she's not so busy and it will show in Manila.


This one is very special. I remember watching Caregiver on dvd and i realized, why not watch this as well. I remember this being shown a few weeks before the KC and Richard movie. I would settle for this, i wont watch the KC/Richard unless i have no choice, like being stuck in a bus showing that film. I believe in the acting prowess of this Sarah and John Lloyd and they were able to pull it off. Like any pinoy flick, poor girl in love with rich boy, this made it a little lighter and heartwarming. In its own way it was funny and realistic.


I like fishboy so much. That's the reason why i wanted to watch the film. His so classical and very intelligent. This time we look into the human side of the characters, from Hellboy to Fish and Liz. We can also be amused by the ectoplasma leader they have now. Its more of a mythical story fighting with a bad elf. Fish being in love to a princess. Hellboy 2 has the same director with the one who directed Pan's Labyrinth that's why there are so many animated character's that reminds me of the Muppet.

Now i understand why some people wouldn't appreciate Wall E. They dint have lines. Since they are robots, we make do of their actions on screen. I say action speaks louder than words. I really appreciated this film. Its about taking care of the planet and the effects of not being lifting a finger. hahahaha. In the future the Earth is just a huge dump site and the humans live in a cruise in outer space. Since there are limited things to do, everything is loaded in a computer. You just sit in your chair control it with a screen in front of you and you got it. Hence, making you obese with bone shrinkage. This is a love story of two robots and it feels good watching it and still having hope for the planet.

I am so grateful for the gift of time and family for this week. I was allowed to go on VL last friday and i bought Roo to the doctor.

Last saturday i visited the wake of my kada's mom Chelo with Jill. Mama Pilar we will surely miss you. Jill, Hanz and I had dinner at Amici. We were in a rush to eat we forgot to take a picture of our food. I ordered Futti de Mare ( pizza seafood), Pasta veggie with meat and gelato. Yum! We went Ukay at Makati Cinema Square. Its a good thing they accomodated us even if they will be closing in an hour. Will post stuff i bought once i wear them. Jill got me 3 black pants. Cool! I seldom buy pants in Ukay because i find it so difficult to find a size.

My Ukay finder, Jill.


This is for you Mama Pilar.

Hanz and I went to Divi to buy Roo's give away. Unfortunately, the whole building of toy stuff is closed. Bummer! Plus it Rained! We just bought DVD and some stuff. Sheesh.

My POV

Watched Gossipgirl Episode 5 and it was more interesting compared to the previous episodes. I just cant seem to agree that S is now the star of the show. As the end message is: Waiting for a star to fall. Dan pissed off the wrong guy, Chuck. Im so excited to see the next episode.


We have a very very interesting Project Runway as well. As in Drama anthology. Ganging up on someone and as usual having the judges have this " were having this difficult decision" and there down with....still 4.

I couldnt imagine watching the Amazing Race 13. Time flies so fast. I remember being hooked on watching TAR and is still and will always be a fan. I stopped watching Survivor when i realized they have the same old challenges but what really gets me glued to Amazing Race is the sights and culture of the places they go to. Plus the also have Amazing Race Asia. Cool.
