i don't how to say this but this movie is simply priceless. it's more than what i expect it. the movie is simply fantastic, i love it. this is from here. this is from here. its brave, its bold, its awesome. bea's acting is superb. you can feel her passion. feel her words every time she delivers her words. john lloyd's, on the other hand, acting is simply breathtaking - literally. an acting stint that he should be proud of. every scenes with bea is nerve cracking and heart pounding.  i simply love the scene when the john lloyd and bea hugged each other while crying. i can feel the intense power. whew! so far, this movie...

born to love you

one of the best young actors in PH and a rising singer in one movie. well, what should i say. boring? i just thought of that word because it's how i feel. angeline quinto's action is below what i am expecting. something that a normal girl from GMA network can do - sorry for dragging them into this. i just thought that she better continue singing and probably attend some acting workshops more if she really wants to act. for me, she dragged coco martin down. i don't like his acting here. the story is totally predictable! oh men! people are saying that movie industry here in the PH is down - reason is because producer's are spending their time...

Project Enthalpy

Enthalpy is a measure of the total energy of a thermodynamic system. It includes the internal energy, which is the energy required to create a system, and the amount of energy required to make room for it by displacing its environment and establishing its volume and pressure. i am a chemical engineer by heart and a programmer by profession. as a chemical engineer, i know that there are different types of energy that surround each and everyone of us. well, even high school or elementary students know that. but to tell people what "enthalpy" is, it's really hard to do.  so, i wanted to explain it in a way where my peers will understand....

is He calling me to become a better person?

it was early in the morning. someone texted me. i thought it was my girlfriend. time says it 7.17 AM. too early for 8 am but too late for 6 am. so its not her. so, who is this person who dared to disturb my sleep?  its my uncle. my dad's brother. here's his message: musta na kayong lahat jan? parang di ko kayang tanggapin na dalawang buwan na lang ang buhay. pinanghihinaan na ako ng loob. araw araw humihina ako. ang huling tulong na hihingin ko sa yo ay tulungan mo tiyo efren sa gamot ko. para di ako masyadong maghirap bago ako mawala. kay tiyo efren mo ipadala ang pang-gamot. may 600 pa dito perang padala ibili ko ngayon ng gamot...

for those people who doesn't know him, he's chris cayzer. ahehehe. he auditioned in the latest season of x factor australia. unfortunately, he did not make it to top 12. anyhow, that's not the reason why i am writing this blog entry. reason, what he said during the audition. and here's part of his interview... "The Philippines was actually my training ground. I did a lot of crazy stuff over there. I started acting, I released two albums. I got an award for Favorite New Male Artist. It’s great. People actually buy your music. It’s a good feeling. But I just really wanted to come back to succeed in Australia." my reaction? mixed actually....

what a pleasant surprise!

august 27 is the day when something unsurmountable surprise happened. it was justice secretary leila de lima's birthday when she received a text from someone whom she didn't expect - and i must admit it, i did not expect it as well. senator panfilo lacson greeted the lady secretary on her birthday. wow! see >> ping offers peace to leila, greets her happy birthday on the phone. from the same news story above. who says that peace and reconciliation have no room in this government? well, a simple text really made a difference. after everything happened between these two public officials, oh men, i should say that panfilo lacson is the...

caramelized chicken with no oil

it's been a while when i started changing the way i eat. ehem, ehem. and proud to loose a couple of pounds. so far, i am loyal to it. no beef/pork for almost two months now. however, my taste buds would like to taste something new, something awesome. i know that looking/thinking of  a good recipe is a challenge. playing with just salt, mascovado sugar and organic vinegar will not go for long. so, here's what i did. mixed water and mascovado sugar until it thickens. add vinegar until it suits your taste buds. note that you can also use this a dip for other food. after this, add four cloves of garlic and pinch of salt. set this aside. cut...

Lorenzo on Lost Opportunity

Lorenzo's Time never fails to impress me. The story is becoming more and more interesting. I am loving it so much. Last Thu, I have no work. Sorry, the phrase should have been - CHOSE NOT TO WORK. I still have my comp times so taking a day leave is not a problem. The wound is still fresh. Hahaha! And while they are working, I am watching Lorenzo's Time. In the scene, Lorenzo was talking to his pal (and lost brother) Jonas about lost opportunities. Here's their conversation:  JONAS (J): Nanghihinayang lang kasi ako sa opportunity ng project na yun, nawala. At wala naman akong magagawa eh. Badtrip lang kasi, kala ko kasi sabi mo di ba?...

awesome pinoys!

if we are talking about awesome pinoys for 2012, i can say that these two should make it to the roster great people. two pinoys made to the list of 2012 JCI Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World. they are Benigno "Bam" Aquino, IV and Edsel Maurice Salvana.  Bam Aquino. aquino again? please don't be negative. i think he deserves it. i've seen his effort to make a name out of himself and his sincerity makes me believe that he's an awesome guy. see >> Paolo Benigno ‘Bam’ A. Aquino IV belongs to a new generation of Filipino leaders who have sought out solutions to social problems in new and innovative ways. Bam and his...

korina vs. binay

just recently, i wrote something about kabayan versus pnoy. now, it's binay versus korina. well, what's new? last national election, it was known to everyone that race between korina's hubby - dilg secretary mar roxas - and former makati mayor and now vice president jejomar binay is as tight as battle for the last winning senatorial slot of senator koko pimentel and former senator migz zubiri. i am a self confessed pro-roxas - so you know my stand on this. =) . korina - in her morning radio show - allegedly called binay as "dark and little monster". "Hindi ho ba kaya, noong wala pang DILG secretary ay maraming mga maiitim at maliliit na...

what is para-di-chlorobenzene?

the rain started pouring when i'm on my way home after a visit to my girl's house. too bad because i intend to walk and feel the good weather.  i pulled my wallet and found out that i have 20 pesos - too big for a tryke ride. so, i went back to mercury drug and started to roam around - look for something cheap to buy to have a change. my feet brought me to para-di-chlorobenzene. so what's para-di-chlorobenze? i am a chemical engineer and knows this organic substance very well. para-di-cholorobenzene is one of the three forms of di-chlorobenze - other two are meta-di-chlorobenzene and ortho-di-chlorobenzene. in terms of molecular...

RH Bill: my stand, my thoughts v2

here's the second part of my point on RH Bill.  d. controlling the population is controlling the economy. i am not here to discuss the implications of controlling the population but my stand here is simple - controlling the population will not solve the issue on poverty. in fact, of all arguments made by pro-RH peeps, this is where (i think) i appreciate much. population is really growing and so as the poverty level. but, what we need is political will from our beloved politicians. we need someone who can turn the tides. please allow me to quote on this from former manila mayor lito atienza -  "Population control and the...

eucharist will be eucharist

eucharist will be eucharist. every night is a night to remember. every celebration is a conversation to cherish. for the past two saturdays celebrating the eucharist, i should say that the priests rock! father glen and father migz were really great in delivering their sermons/homilies.  father glen. august 25 eucharist is more than like a eucharist. it's a conversation with God which tells us what love and marriage is all about. it's so funny because a lot of people shared about the readings. one particular thing that struck me is the second reading from ephesians 5: 21 - 32. you can read it here - its in tagalog because i am a...

jack and jill

i think adam sandler is a funny guy. he portrays his roles well, in most of his movies. and i must be honest - NOT IN THIS MOVIE. i think this movie lacks something vital - some personal moments. the story is a little cracky with a lot of empty spaces in between. something that viewers like me will say  - that's it?. it's really not funny at all. i almost fell asleep while watching it. oh come on! and the robert de niro thing isn't also good. it made the movie worse. acting wise, it's plain and lacks the sensitivity. i don't know. picture is from here. i'll give this movie a 3.5.
