Chilli's

This was a couple of weeks ago(July 1). Cza and I haven't been going out for dinner for quite some time because we were saving and dieting. So when an oppurtinity came up for us to have dinner at Chilli's in Greenbelt 5. I was overly excited!

Can't remember the names of the food or how much they cost. This night was just more of about having a nice enjoyable evening out with friends.

Here are pics from our evening at Chilli's.

Thanks Allan!

It just dawned on me, that I've eatin at Chilli's for quite a number of times. And each time I found myself totally satisfied. The food was always excellent. So way to go Chilli's! We'll definitely come back.

type type typin away..

it' s been a while since my last post. i think i have writers block. well mostly i'm just lazy too. i've seen a lot of movies after star trek. i wanted to make an entry about them but couldn't find the strength or words to describe them.. i have a lot of unfinished entries too. such as the rest of our hong kong trip, our boracay trip, food trips, movies, my birthday etc.. not sure why but i just can't seem to to bring myself to type further after i've typed the title.... back in college i read that thte best way to get over writers block is to simply just type. it's also the tip that sean connery gives his student in the movie finding forrester... "ust write. don't think. just write. don' worry about spelling, grammar or anything else.. just write.. you can fix it later".. well that's not how he said it verbatim.. but something like that.. that's basically the point of this entry. hehehe.. just me writing down my thoughts.. typing down whatever comes to mind. it's not as easy as it seems.. it's a loty of fun sure. but the thing is. i have a lot of thoughts that are coming into mymind. and i'm a slow typer. so by the time i get to type a single thought. about 4 thoughts have already come and gone. never to be typed. because my thoughts move faster than my typing speed. howell.. so again.. this is just me. free writing.. if your wondering where im heading with this. well, basically nowhere. hehehehe. just wanted to try something. give it a try. it's actualy fun. no need to worry about proer punctuation, spelling and grammar.. just type.. it's actually quite liberating. hehehe..

Farewell to Issabil...

Issabil, a very good friend of mine for 10 years. He started out as our entire family's friend. But eventually became solely mine. We've been through a lot together. He was a big help when we were working on our thesis during college. He was there when I graduated. He was there when I got my first, second and third job. He was there for all my ups and downs for the past ten years.

Together we've gathered our friends for nights out of the town. Together we've gone to places here in the Philippines such as Boracay, Cebu, Bohol, Baguio etc. Together we've gone to places out of the country such as The US, Singapore, Malaysia, London & Madrid. He was there for all of my out of country trips except for Hong Kong where he roamed somewhere else.

Together we've sent about a million Valentines, Birthdays, Christmas & New Years greetings to friends & family. And together we've sent and received about a million "I Love You Dear" messages.

1999 - 2009

And now, I have a new number and new memories to make. I hope this new number of mine last as long as Issabil and even longer.. :D

Star Trek

I'm not a die hard Trekkie, but this is one of the movies this year that I was most excited to see. I'm fascinated with Star Trek and all but never fully become a fan. The previous Star Trek movies that I've seen, I found rather OK. But They never blew me away. I always felt they lacked action and wished they were more exciting. Now comes this new movie directed by JJ Abrams and well, I finally got to see the type of Star Trek film I hoped to see.

This is the most exciting Star Trek movie that I've seen. I'm not sure if the original fans would be happy with this one though. I think this version moves away from the original concept that made Star Trek popular. But from the stand point of a non-hardcore fanatic, I found this movie brilliantly amazing. If your not a fan of Star Trek. You may become one after you watch this.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

The summer blockbuster movies are here. Kicking things off is X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Since this is the first summer blockbuster of the year to come out. I took it upon myself to gather everyone to watch it. I sent out an email to my friends, reserved seats for us through sureseats and we watched it on the very first day it was released.

Though it may not seem like it, I was only semi excited for this film. I like Wolverine and Hugh Jackman and all. But after the huge let down that is X-Men: The Last Stand. I felt that the X-Men movies are on their way down. And besides, last years The Dark Knight pretty much set the bar way high for super hero movies. There's no way Wolverine can match Batman.

After seeing the movie. Well I could say that this is better than X-Men: The Last Stand. The action sequences is quite impressive. I wasn't familiar with directors(Gavin Hood) previous work. I knew he directed Tsotsi, which I've heards is a good movie. I've never really seen it but based on his work on this movie, I may have to find myself a DVD of it.

Going back, the action in this movie, as I've said is impressive. And there's a lot of it too. The opening sequence alone features Wolverine and his half-brother Sabretooth fighting in the Civil War, the two World Wars and Vietnam. It's never really explained though why two Canadians keep fighting in each war the US is involved in. I guess it's to show how old they are and just how much of a beast they can be.

The entire movie can be best describe that way. It's one action sequence to another. Each scene in between just tries to set you up for the next action scene. It does a good job, however, of introducing new mutant characters and their abilities. Ryan Reynolds appears briefly in the film as Deadpool. He has a short action scene which may lead to spin off movie of his own. Comic book fans will also be thrilled that Gambit is also in this movie. Taylor kitsch did a good job playing him and his powers and abilities are nicely depicted in the movie.

To sum it up, the main plot of the movie isn't really something to look forward to. But the action, the mutants and the actors playing them are a good enough reason to come and see this movie.

I'm a freak..

alright.. i'm gonna finally admit it to everyone and more importantly to myself.. i am a Naruto FREAK!..

naruto isn't really something new. it's been around for some time now. i've heard of it, but only got introduced to their world last year. i was able to obtain a copy of the Naruto Ultimate Ninja heroes game for my psp. i played it and liked it. as i played more and more of got i slowly got curious with each of the playable characters.

anyway, that led me to buy a DVD of all the Naruto Anime Episodes. and wow! i am totally hooked! :D.. when i start watching the dvd, i struggle to stop. i can't wait to see what happens in the next episode.

in my defense, this isn't really the first time i got hooked to an anime series. i got previously hooked to samurai X, gundam seed, yu yu hakusho(ghost fighter), chobits & flame of recca. so this might just be another craze which will eventually run it's course. but honestly i hope it doesn't. hehehehe

Boracay 09 (sneak peek)

It's been a while since my last post. A lot has happened since then. I spent holy week at the Mountain Province with Cza and her family. And just last week I was at Boracay. A lot of things to blog with so little time. hehehehe

When I get the chance, I'll try to complete my posts on our Hong Kong Trip and our trip to the Mountain Province.

But for now let me just share with you some pics from our Bora trip.










More to come.. =)
