Song for you

When JP died, at the funeraria, I was sending messages to some of his friends and officemates to inform them that he has just passed away. I was sitting at the office when I felt him beside me. I was sitting in a sofa for two. To my left, he sat and I felt him warmly sitting beside me.

Before, it was awfully quiet. Just me and my sobs, when suddenly, there was music. And this was the first music that played. I could almost hear him singing it out to me that time. And now that I am suddenly awakened, there are messages from him. I get it all the time. more…

I can has vote for Obama?

I’m not a US citizen, in fact, I’ve never been there.  I’m not a politician or a political analyst/thinker.  But I do know a good person when I see one.  We all do right?  If I can vote for a US Presidency candidate, I’d pitch my vote for Barack Obama.

Not only do I think that he’s not the ‘traditional politician’, but he’s of the new blood.  One who do think of the benefit of mankind in general.  One who has the passion and concern for the good of more people, not just a niche.  His platform and ways are not only for the US citizens, but the fact that he can change the way US is, may also impact other countries such as the Philippines.

I believe that this story, may it be true or not, would have accounted for the unseen kindness of Barack years before his current presidential campaign.  I found a twit of my friend frobot.  I followed the link there and brought me to a page that relates the story of how Barack was kind enough to help a stranger, about 18-20 years ago.  True.. not that it matters before, but it matters now.  A person’s character is mostly stable and unshaken when no one is looking.  If this story is true, then I guess that’s the kind of character to put as a president.  Well, if its not, then let’s just leave it up to how we see him as the next president.  more…

Teeth cleaning session

When I was young, I never paid attention to my dental health.  Before, I used to be brave becaused I really enjoyed my visit to my dentist.  Back then I was just around 9-10 years old.  In a short while, he left to migrate in the US.  Years gone by and I wasn’t able to give much attention to my teeth.  Neither did I attempt to find another dentist. By college, I was forced to seek dental help because we were required to submit dental as well as medical certificates.

I already found myself and my family a dentist.  Twice every year, I bring the whole family with me to have their teeth checked up.  This way I could prevent any dental problems.  Every six months, we make it a point to visit my friend dentist so that we could address our dental problems.  Its really hard during these times.. since its payback time.. hehe.. the longer your time is on the operating table, then it means longer endurance required. :P

But after each cleaning session, we always love to unwind.. and we relax by eating! Haha!

 

Iron Man, (just) another Marvel Hero

We just watched Iron Man a couple of hours ago.  I was quite intrigued, having read the good tweets and buzz about the film.  Well, it really wasn’t the greatest push I got to get myself eager enough to watch it.  There a couple of good reasons though.

There are several good movies that was worth the wait for this year, 2008.  One of them is Iron Man.  The trailer is really good (see it here).  That made me wanna wait that long to see this one;  I also like watching super hero movies (Superman, Spiderman, Batman, the Xmen, etc.), and for one, I believe in our current culture, its already a good escape to get to see and fantasize that there are such heroes. ;)

My honey loves to read a lot of comics (I believe I’m the only one who weren’t so into those stuffs when I was young.. which reminds me.. what did I do with my time?? :P ), ergo, he loves to see those comic characters into live big screen.  It was his weakness and strength at the same time.

Well, finally, I get to sneak out of the usual workaholic rush to get a good watch of Iron man.  Okay, and here is what I think of it so far.. (warning, quite a spoiler coming up!) more…

Enigmatic Treasure Hunt

Fascinated by the National Treasure (Part 1), I have been moved to watch the National Treasure (Part 2) with high expectations.

As we might all remember (especially those who loved the first part), the story was quite a catch, and the build up of the adventure from clue to clue was really the hype of the whole movie.  For this second part (sorry to spoil some of you guys), my expectation of a more or less similarly built adventure was met.  (Yay!)

The movie is generally good.  I guess I should give it a 4 out of 5 rating.  I liked the way the story was presented in the beginning, and the chase and antagonism started early on at about 5-7 minutes of the movie.  (This is the part you should start thinking how the story would go).

I love it when they start the movie really good because it captures most of my attention and focus.  Hats off too to the plot.. just like Da Vinci’s Code, the essence of the story is really good.  The twist of truth to history and adventure to every unveiled secret plus the choice of characters in the movie all played very well to its plot.  The actors and the music were all good too.  Even the set and everything counted as props were of good quality.

Now what makes it an eyesore?  Well, its the flaws.. the many flaws that they overlooked. In general, these wouldn’t seem so harmful to the plot and the excitement of the movie, but for analysts and those who can easily eye on details, these are definite eyesores, and a cut off on ratings. more…

Hacking and Ethics

I don’t know why its been a buzz eversince the computing world began.  I think its because for every matter, there should be an anti-matter.. well, that for a fact still needs to be proven.  Let’s just say, for every good, there is evil… but hacking isn’t evil by itself.
We programmers get elated by our creation.  We enjoy making things out of plain ideas.  Seeing them come alive is the next best thing to being alive.  But, if you think about it, you cannot create something that you cannot undo, or destroy.  For every creation, there must be destruction too.. otherwise, there wouldn’t be any end to anything at all that is being created.  Right? more…
