left-handed wanders

Are people in the Philippines talking about Heroes?

***

If they aren’t now, it’s comi’n.

***

If you think its like X-Men or another Medical/Police drama, well, think again.

***

The First-half of season 1 run ended early in December, and has been nominated for 2 Golden Globes this Year (Well, deserved)

***

Lost is going down the drain.

***

If I’m right, Star World is going to take the show for the Asian release this January.

***

But in the meantime, catch the whole 1st Season on Youtube.

(Hehehe)

It will be 11 Hours, So not wasted.

***

Heroes returns this 22.01.07. in the US

***

Are you on the List?

1.) Finally, you can watch Natalie Portman’s "Gangsta Rap" on Youtube from her SNL stint a a few months back.

Natalie shouts profanities.

And she smashes a booze bottle on her head.

watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKgGfsf3eZ8&NR

Highly Recommended.

2.) Last night Conan’s guest on late night was Adam Samberg of SNL. And they talked about this SNL digital short, featuring Justin Timberlake.

I won’t elaborate anymore, just

watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dmVU08zVpA

A special, economic, no-fuss gift for your girlfriend for any holiday.

_____________________________________________________________

Enjoy.

Could a person need closure and not know it?

I guess it happened to me last night. Totally unexpected. Man, is it because it’s Christmas or what?

Or was it because Six Feet Under officially ended last night?

Yep, the season finale, of the final season aired–we watched, we loved it. I was pretty sure that Allan Ball was going to write this one and yes he did, not only that he even directed it. What a great ending, it was mushy and full of drama in all the right places.

Really, it has been 3 years (The show aired from 2001-2005). And after that time, its impossible the whole cast wouldn’t  grow on you (I barely catched the first season, cause we didn’t have Cable back then) but we watched it on DVD. And the, how do you call it, "flash-forwards" showing how all of them will eventually die was classic!

***

Or was it because, I can finally talk about "this" topic with someone in the past.

(Sorry, I’ll keep it at that)

***

Or was it because, I heard Tony Bennet singing "The Christmas Song" around 2am.

***

Or is it because, I’ve finally realized I know who/what I want?

***

This is a great Christmas.

(Has anyone seen the fairly new Sony Ericsson Walkman Fone commercial?

watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJnNGAbXqsM

It’s really growin’ on me.

Really nice soundtrack.

and a really nice concept, don’t you think?

but I’d still prefer a cybershot over a walkman fone.  (hehehe)

I love the way it builds up, with the this drum/bass beat. I bob my head, everytime I hear it.

Then the beat pauses when the bus guy says hello. Nice touch. very much like the V3 Razor commercial.

PS
the ad has other versions in different countries, Here in SE Asia they show the one with the stringed-instrument-sounding-track. that i like.

***
And yes, the Sony commercial with the Robots walkin around?

Nice soundtrack too.

watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgnkvoeCh58

I love the "FEEL" copy. Flashy but its still nice.

***

I wish they come up with an album featuring full length versions of these tracks. LOL

does anyone know the composers/mixers?

***

Two thumbs up for Sony.

***

Update/20/Dec

After a bit of searchin’ I finally know the song and the artist of the track on the Sony Ericsson commercial. It’s JUMP ON FOOT and the artist is HOLIDAY ON STRINGS. You should hear the full length track its pretty good.

Who wouldn’t like these for Christmas?

Introducing the new Motorola RIZR Z3 (cause it "rises" up)

With the ever popular RZR fones on the street nowadays, I vowed I’ll join the bandwagon as well, if I ever get the cash, and buy a lime colored RZR (available in the US) though I wasn’t sure how.

But when I saw this fone while surfing, I think I’ll get a RIZR instead.

Basically its a RZR that isn’t a clamshell but a slider fone. So its still pretty thin on the side. And what I like most about this new model is the 2.0 megapixel camera upgrade, which some models on the RZR and SLVR family lack.

Too bad the model is still not available in the Philippines, maybe cause it just came out. so i guess its a lil more wait till these babies arrive in Philippine shores.

Nice. Beautiful things.

its weird to revisit journal entries.  sometimes even if it only spans a month you’d still be suprised by the potency and vividness of a thought, emotion, or belief you write on paper.

thus i leave this "juvenalia".

PS

Sorry, i intentionally blurred the image.

You can play codebreaker if you want, kung wala kang magawa. hehehe

Drama sa UP kanina.

Nang humupa na ang commotion dulot ng Oblation Run, biglang kumalat ang rumors na hindi daw tuloy ang lantern parade para sa taong ito.

nagtext sa akin si Badet, na nagtatanong kung tuloy ba daw, kasi may balita ngang hindi na.

Napaka-detached ko sa mga pangyayari–nasa bahay lang ako buong araw at nag-iinternet.

gamit ang bisa ng globe unlimitext tinext ko halos lahat ng ka-peeps na kilala ko (Globe). at kinonfirm ang balita.

Sa dami ng tinext ko, kakarampot lang ang nag-reply.

hayun hindi nga daw tuloy sabi ni Chancellor Cao, due to security issues.

APPENDIX A

  Lantern Parade Cancelled

  I regret to inform the University community that the 2006 Christmas Lantern Parade scheduled this afternoon is cancelled. This decision was made by the UP Diliman Executive Committee - composed of deans and directors of academic units chaired by the Chancellor - in an emergency meeting held this morning.

    This decision was arrived at in view of concerns about risks to persons and property.

   The Pista ng Pasko sa Oval, however, will remain open. College activities will proceed as scheduled. 

SERGIO S. CAO
Chancellor

apparently, may-rally kasing magaganap ukol sa tuition fee increase.

ng malaman ko. hindi na ako nagbalak maligo para dumaan ng peyups…

nang

sinabi ng Univ. student council na tuloy parin ang parada kahit walang suporta ng admin.

***

napa-isip ako. tradisyon naman na tlga yang parada na yan for 70+ yrs na. and Para sa pasko naman yun. hehehe

what the heck.

(maganda ang mga alaala ko nung freshman ako ng parada, nung sumali kami at pumatok sa publiko ang aming animal carousel. hehehe.)

***

tumuloy ako at sinama ang aking bunsong kapatid. nag-taxi pa kami baka d na namin maabutan sa oval yung mga tao.

+++

pagdating…
medyo patay ang parada. hindi ganoon karami ang tao. ngunit nandoon pa rin ang mga float kahit kakaunti rin.

+++

naabutan namin yung last na stop ng parada sa harapan ng Palma.  at dumami rin naman ang mga tao kahit papaano.

at doon, kasama ng publiko at UP community

to be honest—na-uplift yung spirits ko

(you know with my unenthusiastic view of this Xmas).

Tingnan mo nga naman. nandito silang lahat para mag-celebrate. walang politika etc.

nandun lahat ang mga tao. para lamang manood, pasikatan ng mga celfone na may camera, digi cam, digi camcorder.

(ang ganda tlga nung Cybershot fone, pati yung N73–NICE!)

buti nalang at d ako na-demonyo na manghablot.

+++

nakisabay ako sa pagpalakpak at pagsigaw sa mga gimik ng mga float.

ayun

sinabuyan lang  kami ng ma-misong kendi at confetti masaya na kaming lahat.

>>>

bumenta nga sa akin eh. kahit nabasa ako sa gimik nung giant "tirador" na float. una muna kasi kendi yung mga sini-slingshot syempre lahat naman kami agawan.  tapos biglang naging sunud-sunod na water bomb (pambalot ng ulam na pinuno ng tubig) ang mga kasunod, na siyang kinatakutan ng lahat. at hayun. nabiktima kami ng kapatid ko. malas.

pero masaya

sa kababawan naming lahat,

sa kababawan naming manonood

naramdaman ko ang…

Yes you think about things a lot when you have all the time you need. But it doesn’t mean you get stuff done.

I’m in a dump within a slump.

Bad trip tlga

I woke up today and my right ankle hurts like hell.

I sprained it in my sleep? Shit. How messed-up is that?

Or baka nag-sleep walk ako tapos nag-jumping jax ako sa bubong at natisod ako?

Kelangan ko na ata mag-saklay. Kanina pumunta ako ng tindahan para mag-autoload and i thot i can limp my way easily for 100+ steps. Man! ang sakit niya. medyo half-way na ako nung gusto ko ng sumuko kaya dineretso ko na sa tindahan. I cant go to school 2morow like this.

parang d ko maisip na mag-saklay sa AS. 2nd floor pa naman yung room baka gumulong ako sa hagdan.

Great tlga bad trip!

Buti nalang walang pasok ng 1-4 ngayon. kaso yun isa kong class 3:30 to 5pm.

Papasok pa ba ako?

Can you pay someone to do your thesis?
