Slumdog Millionaire Movie Trailer

Slumdog Millionaire swept the board at the 81st Academy Awards, winning eight out of ten Oscars including best picture. It’s a story of a young man’s trials, tribulations, and eventual triumph.

The rags-to-riches film is about Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who enters a television quiz and is about to face the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"

I’m so excited to see this movie! I’m a bargain shopper myself, but I think it looks like a really funny movie, girls could appreciate! I’m glad i have a bit more self control.

How about you? Can you see yourself in her? Ü

JOURNEY's Live Performance at Super Bowl XLIII

Rocking pinoy pride Arnel Pineda of Journey performed "Don't Stop Believing" at Super Bowl* XLIII held at Tampa Bay, Florida.





However, some who were physically present during the show were disappointed with Arnel Pineda’s performance. Though it was not horrible, it was not that was expected from him. And that was so unfortunate, because that was the Super Bowl, the biggest audience he or the band could ever hope for as every TV in America is tuned in on the Super Bowl. And there are speculations that he must be tired or have strained his voice because the night before, he had a gig with another worldclass Filipina singer Lani Misalucha in San Diego.

Arnel should have done much better. He was amazing on the previous performances they had. I agree with others saying that he should prioritize his obligations as the newest frontman of Journey.

But having said that, I have no doubt that Arnel is a professional who will be in top form vocally especially in the coming Journey tours. I’m looking forward to see the same great performances as he had before, for the world to see.

And still I know, he will continually amaze me with his talent, and will always make me proud of my heritage.

Rock on AP!


*Super Bowl is a professional football championship game conducted by the National Football League. Participants include the champions of the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC) of the National Football League.

Luvin' the Cold Weather

The cold weather has lately been colder than usual. Yes, it is unusually cold. It feels like we're transported back to the yuletide season. And it seems like some people like me are enjoying the coldness of the season to wear clothes we could not wear during the “normal” days we have here in the Philippines. Everywhere you will see passersby clad in jackets, sweaters and clothes that remind you of winter wonderland, or just simply trying to look fashionable, wearing coats or layers of clothing. Hey, the ukay-ukay seems to be selling well these days!

According to PAGASA, the country will have to brace itself for more cold weather until next month because the northeast monsoon or the Amihan would continue blowing into the country. It usually starts in October and peaks in February. So I presume people will still be wearing the same stuff until the first week of February, assuming the weather forecast is accurate enough.

It hovers around 21 to 24 degrees at night here in Subic / Olongapo. But it's colder where I live 9 kilometers away from my work in Subic Bay because more trees surround us, where the temperature is plunging down to 19 degrees.

One of the nicest things about this cold weather is that we can save on electric bills... since we don't need to use electric fan and the use of air conditioner is minimized in the offices.

I know that there is a lot of snowfall in many northern countries, so it's nice to have some cold air blow over here in the Philippines. I find it refreshing to walk in the streets these days, and it's generally nicer to go out and dine al fresco. But it’s also a fine time to sleep, or just to cave yourself inside the sheets of your bed all day long… Well, I wish I didn’t have any work to do.

I hope this weather does not change till the summer comes even if it’s extremely sunny!

Have you been enjoying the weather like I am? brrrr.....
