Ouran High School Host Club

I'm officially hooked!

I have been searching for more romantic comedy animes. And the first good suggestion I got was Ouran High School Host Club and I checked it out in Wikipedia. I read the plot. I don't mind spoilers that much because I always thought that won't be enough. So, sometimes I welcome them. After reading the plot section, it got me soooo curious that I went to YouTube to check out some episodes...

I was laughing! And I had to start the next episode! And I was humming to the openning song! Bwahahhaah! I really liked it! The art work is good.. the characters are not boring at all! The boys are sooo cute.. hehehehe! It is a very interesting series.

A girl, mistaken to be a guy needs to maintain the image that she's a guy to pay off her debt from these obnoxious but cute and sweet rich guys by being a male host!! Whew! This only has 26 episodes so, I think I would be able to finish watching all epsiodes this weekend. Or atleast having a copy of it. ; )

This sure fast is turning out to be a favorite!

Manila Hostage-Taking

As usual, I was not aware when this was happening because I was sleeping. When I arrived at work, some of my officemates are talking about it and I heard it on the radio on my way home (the only time during the day that I listen to the radio).

Here's the story, or pretty much as I understood it.

56-year-old Jun Ducat is a Day Care Center owner who prepared or had a Field Trip for 32 5-to-6-year-old children
and two teachers, who go to his Day Care Center. When they all boarded the bus, that morning of March 28, Ducat instructed the driver to go to Manila City Hall.

They stopped the bus at Liwasang Bonifacio I think, and taped a sheet of paper to the bus's windshield that said they were holding 32 children and two teachers hostage, and were carrying two grenades, an Uzi assault rifle and a .45-calibre firearm. People started to notice, until the police took notice of it too, and boom.. the negotiation started, the candidates for the coming elections sort of joined in, and a whole lot of media. And once again, the Philippines was on world news. Tsk, tsk, tsk!

The hostage-taking lasted for about 10-hours. Ducat was already known for doing such stunts. He said he took the children hostage to bring attention to the need for better education, health care and housing for poor children and an end to corruption. He also wanted people to hold a vigil outside the bus, which they did. Hah!

He sort of promised that no one would be hurt.. and no one did. It still is scary! I fear for the lives of the children on the bus. What if things didn't turn out as planned and by accident, something bad would happen.. then, that would be a tragedy.

The children seem to not mind since Ducat was sort of kind to them and bought them ice cream for lunch.

The parents of the children would not press any charges because they think that Ducat's intentions were good. Okay, that could be right.. but he's doing it the wrong way. Holding very young children on hostage would not make the world a better place. Haaay...

Oh! Well.. I guess we should just be happy that nothing bad happened and hope and pray that nothing like this would follow just because they think it's alright because the parents think Ducat should be set free. Haay..

Here's a bit I got from trusty YouTube.

Whohoe, whihoo

Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo

If I could escape
I would, but first of all let me say
I must apologize for acting, stinking, treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk fell on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refridgerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold

If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, Now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape

(I wanna get away, to our sweet escape)

You let me down
I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out
I need to get me out of this joint
Come on, let's bounce
Counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around let's look for some common ground

So baby, times getting a little crazy
I've been getting a little lazy
Waiting for you to come save me
I can see that you're angry
[ these lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
By the way the you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me
Want to take you with me

If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

Gloria: [to Mumble's unhatched egg] Is it empty? Can I have it?

I watched this movie with my boyfriend. I wanted him to see this because he's a really good dancer.

I was surprised to see that this was more than just a cutesy animal love story movie.. it has something to do with the environment and has human interaction.

I'm not a fan of animation that the main characters are animals and then humans interfere, or something like that. But for this one, it was alright.

Robin Williams is soo talented that he voiced two different characters in this movie.

I don't know but I wasn't able to recognize Nicole Kidman in Norma Jean's voice!

Ramon and the gang was sooo cute..

very late review for zsazsa zaturnnah

This post is indeed over due. I almost thought of not even posting about ZsaZsa Zaturnnah, but I just can't help it!

I have been captivated by Carlo Vergara's creation since I first saw the comic book. My friend showed me one. They are already talking about the upcoming auditons for the musical! I started reading a few pages, and there! I didn't stop laughing to the point that I was about to be late for my class. I got so curious that I really had to finish reading it. I think I read it twice from cover to cover up to the smallest imprints! Heheheh! I got addicted!

Then, we get to watch Ze Muzikal! The 1st staging!

• Eula Valdes was a very wonderful surprise! They say this is her first musical, but it didn't really show.
• Tuxqs Rutaquio really looked like Ada in the comics. He can, as should be, sing very well.
• I loved Ricci Chan! I have seen him guesting on tv shows prior to this one, and I really noticed that it seem he fattened himself to get the role! He made himself look like Didi in the comic book! And it worked wonders! He has phenomenal talent! Great acting, superb singing and perfect timing to throw in his punch lines. It's just really sad when eventually he no longer joined the cast after the 2nd staging. I didn't get to watch Joey Paras, who reprised the role of Didi, perform. They said he's good. But when I saw him, Ricci Chan is still the best humanization of Didi. I'm still wondering up to this moment why he left the stage and the role. Is it because of his prime time soap opera? I hope not. It's just for me, if I were to choose, I'd rather be ON stage than in front of the camera. So, why Ricci?! WHY?!?
• Dodong was so cute and charming. Heheheh!
• I didn't get to see Agot play Queen Femina but Kalila Aguilos was soo good!
• I'm a fan of Wilma Doesn't and I really loved her here! I hope she enjoys theater as much as I do..

I'm not the number one fan. I don't really know who is, but my friend is sooo addicted to this that he personally contacted Vincent de Jesus to get a copy of the play's original score! And after a week or two, almost everyone has been singing the songs!!

• "Multo ng Nakaraan" had me in tears..
• "Walang Ibang Pangarap Kundi Sya" became our national anthem! Hahahaha!
• "Nakikita Ko Na Ang Nakakasilaw Na Ilaw" made me laugh and cry at the same time!!!

I enjoyed every scene! Even the announcement of the 10-minute break was so cute! Haahahah! I understood that perfectly well.. Hmmm...

Then came Ze Movee..

One good thing I could think of about this movie, is how they changed what the aliens were doing to the world. I don't think moviegoers would be able to understand why ZsaZsa Zaturnnah should fight them if they would still go with what was on the comic book.

For the rest though, I hated it..

Rustom Padilla was too gay for Ada's role. His speaking voice was sooo high! And the funny part is, Alfred Vargas' was even higher!! Bwahahahahahaha!

They took out Didi's songs!! I love those songs! It was as if Chokoleit doesn't know how to sing. But he performs in bars, right? So, why not make him sing?

Haay... I was nothing but disappointed.

Zsazsa Zaturnnah started on a very good medium. Creative and unique. It went on a high when it became a musical. The stage gave class and glitter. And it plopped down to something unentertainingly funny movie. I really hate cameras. (movies and tv)

I still love ZsaZsa Zaturnnah though. I'm just very lucky to witness its glamour!

Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End - Official Trailer

At last, the official trailer has been released! I've been waiting for this! I can't wait to see the movie. Johnny Depp continues to fascinate me and Orlando Bloom just make me weak in the knees.

Everything is so fascinating. I really don't know how the story will turn out.

One thing to watch out for is Chow Yun-Fat's participation. I'm expecting to see good fight scenes. But a wonderful story and the cool effects already took my breath away!

Here are cute early facts:

• So locations wouldn't have to be revisited by the crew, some scenes were filmed during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006).
  
  
• Started filming without a finished script.

Simply can't wait!

I can't seem to have any other result aside from this.. Is this real? Or the quiz is just limited..

Angelina Jolie's Vietnamese Son

We already know that Angelina Jolie has adopted children from different countries.

1. Maddox Chivan - name means "beneficient" - from Cambodia
2. Zahara Marley - name means "flower" and after Bob Marley - from Ethiopia
3. Shilih Nouvel - name means "the peaceful one" - born to Angelina

and the newest addition..

• Pax Thien - name means "peace" and "sky" - from Vietnam

I think she is caring for these children. It may look like the United Colors of Benetton, but that's alright, I guess.
I wonder though on what country she will pick her next child from. Or should she and Brad just have a new one?

What Melody Does Your Heart Play?

As I've said, I watched "The Holdiay" again. I remembered asking myself, if I were a melody, what would I be.. This is the closest answers I could get. Some, I needed to take twice..

What Melody Does Your Heart Play?{Beautiful Anime Pictures}

Your heart plays with sounds of joy. You enjoy life, even when it has its downs, but you don't give in easily. When you're really happy, you find youself sometimes humming away with a melody you hear in your mind, but it always has an upbeat tune or its cheery-sounding. You have a wide range of friends and many different types of friends. Whether you have a few close friends or so very many, they all love you for your personality. You're either the happy, bubbly joyful one of your group of friends or possibly the comedian. Maybe even both. Whenever your friends have a problem, you're always there for them, and they simply adore you for that. And when you show even the slightest bit of sadness, they're there for you. You spread happiness and laughter whereever you go. Good for you!

What Melody Does Your Heart Play?{Beautiful Anime Pictures}

Your heart quivers with the haunting melodies of sadness. Something happened to you long ago that you never quite got over, or maybe you're going through something right now. You feel alienated from everyone, and don't believe that anyone could understand you or help you. Sometimes you just can't see the bright side to things and you watch all the happy people run past you. You wonder and try to figure out where everything screwed up for you and why you can't be like one of those happy people too. You either have a few close (and maybe the only true) friends or you feel like you have none at all. Whether that be true or not, you still need someone by your side. And whether or not you're ready to admit it, youre scared to be alone. You wish things were different. You either want things to get better, which at this rate its seems like it never will, or just end.

Spiderman 3 - Trailer

NBC releaseed a 7-minute trailer for Spiderman 3 and this is it!

Something to really look forward to. I'm really not a comic fan, thus, I really have no idea what's going on with the Black Spiderman and all. Maybe that's a good thing since I won't be expecting anything. Hmm.. It will be coming to theaters here in Manila, May 2007!

DST earlier and longer for 2007

Being a call center agent the Daylight Saving Time is sort of also observed. Our account supports 8am to 8pm EST. I'm on the opening shift, so before DST kicks in my shift starts 9pm and ends 6am. Even if it's just an hour, it's a big deal for me to wake up an hour earlier. I planned to practice going to work an hour earlier the week before the time change. Unfortunately I wasn't aware that DST would be earlier this year. We were advised with only three working days left!

Well, it has been about a week and thank God I haven't incurred any lates.

So, why was it earlier than expected?

On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to resume the 2005 Daylight Saving Time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete.

Waah! And I was also surprised that it's longer this time! Haay.. I'm still trying to look at the brighter side of things, that atleast I'm able go home earlier.

But this shift is the "no social life shift". And I'm starting to feel it. I'm really getting lonely.. Haaaay...

The Holiday

This movie was recommended by an officemate of mine. Honestly, I don't trust his taste. But when I saw that we have a copy of the movie here at home. What the heck..

And I loved it! I'll watch it again, one time this week before I sleep.

I love the main characters. Although, I'm don't like Jack Black that much, I'm starting to admire his talents and what he can do.

It started off looking like "Love Actually", which I thought the concept was.

"Unrequited Love". I almost said it together with Kate Winslet during the naration of the first part of the movie. Isn't that what love really, actually most of the time is?

Home exchange is a really interesting for me. I hope someday to be able to do it.

The Amanda-Graham love story was what really hooked me deeper into the movie. At first I thought I knew how it would turn out. And at the very scene I was about to say, "I told you so," surprise! Two cute surprises, actually, which made me still guess how it should all turn out.

The Iris-Miles thing looked like a little late but alright I guess. Their situation happens a lot though. Unrequited love. Haay.. I watched this after seeing "Music and Lyrics" and the scene where Miles plays the Iris-melody, is so sweet. Made me wonder, if I were a melody, what would it sound like? It should be somewhere near alternative. It just should be.

I like Amanda's job! Making movie trailers. I think, it's really cool.

I want to have the list Arthur gave Iris. Although, I don't think I would like "Chariots of Fire" as much.

Since I thought Jude Law's role on the movie was like his role in "Alfie". I was thinking, is there a movie that Jude Law played a sex maniac serial killer. I sure would want to see that.

I'm half-Amanda and half-Graham when it comes to crying. Tears well up on my eyes so fast, and also when I'm expected to cry I don't. I just recently observed this. It's very easy for me to cry, over movies, things, music.. But when it's an actual scene in my life, I can't cry a single tear. Is it because I have used up the tears for those types of moment in associating those moments with other things? I just don't want to cry that now, I can't.

I really like the voice over thing going on for Amanda's life and the short trailer like shots.

I'll be watching this again. That's for sure!

Amanda: You know Graham, I just broke up with someone and considering you just showed up and you're insanely good-looking and probably won't remember me anyway... I'm thinking we should have sex... If you want.
Graham: Is that a trick question?

Iris: Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time she does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it. And every time she comes through and suprises you, she wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that she's not for you.
Miles: Exactly, and on top of that there's the old standby, I can't believe a girl like that would actually be with a guy like me.

Sophie: Daddy, she has more marshmallows than I do.
Graham: No she doesn't, you each have five.
[to Amanda]
Graham: You have five too.
Amanda: Thanks

Iris: I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life! The worst Christmas', the worst Birthday's, New Years Eve's brought in by tears and valium. These years that I have been in love have been the darkest days of my life. All because I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding! Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual symptoms.

Arthur Abbott: Say a man and a woman both need something to sleep in and both go to the same men's pajama department. The man says to the salesman, "I just need bottoms," and the woman says, "I just need a top." They look at each other and that's the 'meet cute.'

Hannah: My god, I've just noticed how pathetic you are.
Iris: Really? I'm *so* aware of it.

Amanda: Sex makes everything more complicated. Even not having it because the not having it makes it complicated.

Amanda: I'm leaving in nine days and that makes this complicated.
Graham: Ok
[they then passionately kiss]

Olivia: Mr. NAPKINHEAD!
