More Than Meets The Eye

Friday, June 29th, 2007

ok so find me geeky all of a sudden for making such blog entry… but eyy i can’t help myself… anyway this is all about transformers: the movie…

the story is all about the cube which came from space, also known as all sparks, where every metallic object goes near it comes to life. like a life source. it is being fought over by two forces, the autobots and the decepticons. from your childhood ladies and gents, if you can recall, these are the guys who are actually robots that transforms, from cars, trucks, guns, even a radio. then suddenly the cube falls to earth and then all hell breaks loose as the 2 forces traveled light years away just to come here and fight just to gain control on the cube… and our world has become their playground, eerr… battlefield.

lemme go straight to the point. the movie is so cool you wanna watch it again, and again, and again, and again raised to infinity. hell michael bay and steven speilberg sure knows how to make blockbusters. imagine creating a movie with a lot of computer generated imagery. the CGI team for the movie took them exactly 38 hours to make one frame… and it takes at least 60 frames to make a 1 second part of the film.. how many hours in total? you do the math.. all i know is that the movie has at least 200+ minutes of CGI. the only thing depressing about the movie are the lack of characters from the animated series. hot rod, red alert, sound wave, the dinobots, and even some minicons are missing… and they even changed the concept for megatron, who in the cartoon series was a gun, in the movie, he was a fighter jet. well that was new… still there has to be a sequel since star scream is still alive and according to prime’s last words in the movie, there are still more bots in the galaxy. hopefully in the sequel they’ll introduce the missing bots, including Unicron. but eyy who know’s…

this film totally brought the house down, 4 movie houses at glorietta alone was jacked up with movie-goers, and there was a very long line of people waiting to watch the next round of the show… wow…. me and a couple of my lady friends got in at the last full show. good thing i bought tickets in advance or else i could’ve missed the premiere night. anyway for those who haven’t seen the movie yet, go the the theaters and have a good time watching the film.. eyy for a long line, and 170 bucks for a seat and 100 bucks of popcorn and a cold soda, for a 2 hours and 30 minutes of pure fun and relieving your childhood is worth every penny…

New Life, A New Beginning

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

it’s been a while since i touched the keyboard or a mouse or even to actually be inside and internet cafe. the problem is that, this place is s friggin huge… everytime i try to walk the streets of sampaloc, new street names pops out… it’s like a lush jungle where the trail leads you in circles.. but you know what they say, you just gotta have to give yourself some time to get used to it…

since i came here all i’ve been thinking about was how was everybody doing back home? or maybe, what are they doing there while i’m away? missing a lot of things is quite normal. but it’s a sacrifice i have to make so i can achieve what i came here for… to pass the board exam. but still i can’t help but think about the last drinking session you had with your closest friends, or come to think of it.. your family… drinking, smoking, talking trash and even talking about some serious stuff until someone butts in and changes the topic to something more amusing… i miss the good old days. it’s like things are so not the same here in manila… sure, you get new drinking buddies here, but it still not the same compared to the things you shared with the people you’ve been with for 4 years. and they say i’m just having a mild case of culture shock… i say F!*@ off. i’m not experiencing culture shock… instead i’m home sick…. i miss  my old life, my family, my friends, my pets, my old job at the radio station, and i miss the town where whenever i pass a street someone knows me, or preferably, somebody knows me everywhere i go… but here it’s the exact opposite. i’m just another dude on the street walking alone and feeling solitary.

yet i have to consider the fact that i’m here and everyone else is back home… missing them is all i can do, accomplishing the task that i came for is will lead me to my greatest reward, to be with my friends and family once again. call me sentimental but it’s true… i just miss everything so much…
