Superman Returns - A Review

ok I managed to get ticket for the first day showing of Superman Returns without even lifting a finger (lucky me!). I just read some of the reviews, specially the negative ones and for cryin out loud... they were just expectations of punks who wanted the movie turn out according to their taste... well life is indeed unfair.... fortunately there were more good reviews than bad. so still the good thriumps against evil.

For my review. Brandan Routh though is not as dahing than Christopher Reeve indeed do justice as the Man of Steel. He carries the comic icon pretty well and sounde like Reeve at times. Kate Bosworth maybe a little soft as Lois Lane did a pretty well job. and as for Kevin Spacey hah... anyone who doesnt know the actor will easily mistaken him to be Gene Hackman, he truely has a striking similarity to Gene Hackman who plays as Lex Luthor.

As for the movie, any true blue Superman fan will get nostalgic as staring film starts and the famous fly-by ending. honestly my tears almost fall for joy as the names of the actors are flashing by the screen, together with the original music score... haaayyy what a night indeed. you wont even notice that this film runs for about 2 hours and 40 min....the flight scences are so seemless... oh well before i started to blow out some spoilers... i'll end this short review.... but for one thing you wont be dissapointed.

Practice

take look at this... I just took this picture this morning... its so nice to see a rainbow in the sky. Not only it pretty to stare into but its also warms your heart. Also i started practicing taking pictures of anything with my camera phone, finally I got hold of a data cable, so i can now transfer photos from my phone into the computer... this wont be the last... might be able to update this more often now...

Superman Returns

the countdown starts for the worldwide showing of Superman Returns, starring Cristopher Reeve look alike Brandon Routh... and Directed by Brian Singer (X-Men and X2), The new Man of Steel will be wield a new redesingned S shield embossed NOT PRINTED on the costume which is also redesigned but still had its classic look. also his belt buckle is similar to his shield. If first time i saw his interview in HBO's Red Carpet, I was suprised that he didnt just looks like Reeve but also talk and speak like Reeve.. Imagine if they stand along side one think that they are father and son... Recently Brandon got a blessing from Reeve wife saying that "He will be a good replacement for his husband as Superman."

Hey people if theres a premiere of the movie please please count me in... I wouldn't want to miss it... ever.... 2 tickets please... he he he

Move over Gates... Hello Tux

hey gorilla you're not the only one who playing with Linux.... I too been playing with Linux system for quite some time now... as for you who's having a migraine by using Windows, cure it with open source... its stable, fast and secure... i say its stable because not of its applications crash, I still haven't encountered one yet if there is one... its fast because linux uses only 128MB of system memory and additional 256MB hard disk space for its cache. the whole operating system including its Open Office Suite and some cool applications takes only 4GB. its secure because most if not all virus is written for Windows. The only downside is that you can't play games with Linux since most PC games are designed to run in Windows but this doesn't mean you can play games anymore in Open Source. Although Linux distributions are available for free, a plug-in called Win-X or Wine is needed so you can play Windows games in Linux is available via subscription. Some of the features I like with this OS is its screen savers and its cool wallpapers... take a look of some of my downloads... enjoy looking...

Jologs

In relation to Meowoks' post is being a "jologs" a good or a bad thing? What does the word "jologs" mean? I forst encountered the word back in 2001 when we have these trainees. They use the word to one who is or done something that is ridiculous, usually people tends to laugh but sometimes irritating. Like meowok said, may sign na nga na bawal magkalat, nagkakalat pa rin. so they would respond "jologs kasi!!!", or its much closer meaning nowadays "PASAWAY". Its funny when one of the respected TV station in country would actually making this novelty street word into a dictionary entry by searching the words real meaning. The even interviewed people who are so called "social-experts" and "linguist" just to popularize the word "jologs". A dedicated TV show is been created to senationalize the word.... for God sake don't hey know that they actually teaching our children using what our parents called "salitang kanto". Attention MTRCB and DepEd!!! please do what the people paid you to do... They already mess up the Alpabetong Pilipino by incorporating foreign letters and now they messing up our grammar... would you like to hear our child answering you like this when you asked where he/she went "sa chuva po malapit sa school." If we are really like to uplift out intellects

To my beloved Tita Viring

Last March 26, an hour before midnight, the only light in our house is coming from my computer monitor, I'm paying an eerie game on my computer when I heard some sort of a knock outside my window. Then I heard my Tita Cely calling me... She said that my Tita Viring is rejecting any the food being fed to her that I should wake up my mother... and so I did...

My Tita Viring is suffering from Colon Cancer for about a year now, and last December she undegone a her second major surgery, the first one had her tumor removed which is located near her uterus which needed to be closed, they made a hole on her side so that her droppings will go through there... because of it she had a hard time walking, after the second surgery she cant even sit anymore....

So i did called my mother and told her about the situation, I sit back in front of my PC to have my game saved and have it shut down, afterwards I visited my Tita Viring to check whats going on, My two aunts been with us since my one of my Uncles passed away last year (see previous post "Celebrations and Mourning"). I was surprised when I saw everyone in our compound is inside their house crying and waiting, perhaps waiting to whats going to happened next. I saw my Tita Viring on her bed, she breathe deeply and slowly, but i couldn't stand seeing her like that, she is almost thin to her bones consumed of that cursed virus... she wast like that before that, she was strong and healthy, in the outside perhaps....no one really know... So, I left their house trying to hold my tears from falling, but before I even reached the stairs going to my room I started to loose it... I was so sad, I seen some of my aunts and uncles died but never before I been this sad before, because this time they taken one of my dear Tita... she is like a second mother to me... she never had a child of her own, thats she is very close to her nephews and nieces... but on that very night things are different...My wife tried to confort me, and said "That the way it is, and theres nothing we can do..." So I tried to sleep for I need to go work the next day... I just couldn't.

Next morning I heard the alarm on my phone. but somehow I don't feel like going to work so I stayed in bed. but when the sun started to shine, I got out my bed and visit a take another visit to my Titas house. I saw my mother beside Tita Viring holding her hand and calling her name. She was fading away... all her vital signs are getting weaker, pulse and heart are getting slower... and at exactly 8:30 a.m Monday, 27 of March, she's gone...

So why wrote this blog? maybe it because I didn't have the chance to say to her how much I love her, how much I care... even though I wasn't around to take care of her when she needed me most... its the least I can do.
