One More Try Movie Lines

Posted: December 31st, 2012 | No Comments »

It’s the MMFF season and it warms my heart to see the cinemas packed!  That just means, we are supporting the local movies.  The second movie I watched had a the very controversial plot.  It was all about sacrificing a marriage and the one you love, just to save a child’s life.
One More Try Movie Quotable Quotes:
“Mahal kita, pero mas mahal ko ang anak ko.”
“Trinato mo ko na parang asong pinasahan mo ng buto matapos mong lawayan!”
“Kahit saglit, kahit isang gabi lang, pahiram ng asawa mo.”
“I can be a sexy wife sa umaga and a dirty mistress sa gabi.”
“Hindi, hindi ka makakagulo kung ang kukunin mo lang naman ay ang kailangan mo”
“How can you even say no to a mother with a dying child?”
“Iba yung pumapayag sa nakikisama. Iba din ang nakikisama sa nagtitiis.”
“Ulit-ulit? Hindi ko naman kasi alam na nakasubscribe ka pala ng UNLIs*x sa asawa ko at gusto […]

Night Markets in Taipei: Shilin Market

Posted: December 31st, 2012 | No Comments »

A tour in Taiwan is never complete without experiencing the night markets. The Shilin Market was on top of my list because it probably is the biggest and the most popular night market in Taiwan! It pays to know locals around because they would tell you the truth – that there are better and more effective night markets other than Shilin. I really wouldn’t acknowledge it to be the truth, if I haven’t experienced the other night markets myself and this is one failed mission because we didn’t have enough time to go around. That just means one thing: Taiwan Part 2! I would love to go back again winter time
They said it could get crowded in Shilin market. Even on a Monday night, I would say that to be true. My first impression on the Shilin market was, it is pretty clean for something I expected to […]

Sosy Problems – Understanding the Super Duper Upper Class

Posted: December 27th, 2012 | No Comments »

Last night, Hannah and I met up to watch ‘Sosy Problems‘, GMA Films’ official entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival. It stars my favorite Kapuso stars namely Heart Evangelista, Solenn Heussaff, Bianca King and Rhian Ramos under the direction of Andoy Ranay.   Honestly, I am not expecting Sosy Problems to be in the […]

Sosy Problems Quotable Quotes from Rhian, Heart, Solenn and Bianca

Posted: December 27th, 2012 | No Comments »

Me and my friend Mica love going to the movies and watch local films. Well, I usually don’t expect a lot from our local flicks, especially if it’s a commercial one – but it’s entertaining nevertheless so don’t judge me!
I was pretty happy seeing the cinemas packed yesterday night! I mean all the movies showing starting Christmas to New Year’s are all MMFF entries! I’m happy that all social class brackets were well-represented.
Speaking of social class, the movie we watched last night, “Sosy Problems,” was all about the “SUPER DUPER UPPER CLASS” and their “petty” problems fit for their status. #conyoproblems #firstworldproblems has trended in Twitter a few times. A new friend Kevin even has a viral video tutorial on how to speak “conyo”.
Verdict:  ”Sosy Problems” is a great movie to watch with your girl friends or gay friends.  I’m not sure if […]

Fujifilm X Series Cameras: XF1 and XE1

Posted: December 25th, 2012 | No Comments »

Last month marked the expiry of my uber extended blog events hiatus. After a noxious lengthy period of feeding on cold and stale food, existing within my minuscule rathouse of an apartment, and conversing with my only rational companion, Hp and Apple, I finally summoned all the energy in my emaciated body to free me from my self-imposed exile. I decided to take a walk around town and get some fresh air. And indeed, fresh air was what I got as my self-imposed exile ended with a visit to the product launching of FUJIFILM’s newest X series cameras.

Waiting for the Fujifilm XE1 and XF1 Camera Launch

The moment I stepped in the room, everything just suddenly came back. I remembered how wonderful it was to be human again. Everything inside the room was amazing and nice— shimmering lights, sparkling liquid in polished glasswares, aromatic treats for the […]

A few stores in the metro don’t allow any use of plastic bags anymore. It’s great cause it’s a worthy cause to save the environment. The downside is, it could be such a hassle to carry all your grocery items and other goods you shopped with a paper bag. This is where eco-bags come in handy.
