You’ve been HOODWINKED!

Thursday, October 27th, 2005
It’s official. The 3D animated feature film that we were making for quite some time now, already got a screening date. Hoodwinked: The True Story of Little Red Riding Hood,
will be shown in theaters on Christmas Day (or Christmas weekend, I
think). But that schedule is for US screening. I don’t know whether the
same goes for some parts of the world, but according to one of our
bosses, they were planning on showing it earlier here in the
Philippines so as to not coincide with the Metro Manila Film Festival
which happens during Christmas week (crossing fingers). Also, according
to our boss, the theatrical trailer will be shown with The Legend of
Zorro (which started screening last Friday in the US). A friend of a
friend of mine told me, though, that when he watched The Legend of
Zorro here in Manila, he didn’t see the trailer. I guess it’s just
shown in the States or something. Could anyone confirm on that?
Here are the teaser posters for our film. It’s no NEMO nor Incredibles. Just don’t expect too much out of it, okay?

No Nonsense

Monday, October 24th, 2005

Have you ever had that feeling that you wanted to say something badly but you can’t because you might regret ever saying it? Yes? Well, it sucks isn’t it? Thank God for "delete". Anyway, looks like I’ll be stuck here at home all day nusring my semi-painful knee. What a waste of "leave".

Of Colds and Traffic Schemes

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

Darn it. Looks like I caught myself the sniffles. I’ve been sneezing
like hell all day. I don’t feel that jolly today. Adding the fact that
I woke up really early this morning to avoid being caught by
authorities because of the color coding scheme. I really feel sleepy,
with only this blog to keep me up.

Mental note:
There have been alot of traffic schemes that was implemented all over
the metro to help ease traffic and the color coding scheme has the
wierdest name. The scheme goes that vehicles that has their plate
number end in this kind of number can’t travel around the metro within
a specific time and day. For example. Plate numbers that end up in 1
and 2 must not travel during Mondays from 7am to 7pm (the time depends
on the place). Now the wierd part about it is alot of people keeps on
calling this traffic scheme the color coding scheme. I really don’t
know why when the scheme isn’t even associated with colors. Oh, I don’t
know. It’s just giving me a really big headache right now. I guess I’m
just babbling.

Fillers 2…

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005
I’ve just recently watched the first
three episodes of season 5 of Smallville (spoiler alert). And it got me
wondering. How can Jor-El take Kal-El’s power when Kal-El only has
powers because of the earth’s Yellow Sun? Jor-El didn’t even give
Kal-El his powers. It was like born with him. It was supposed to be
that his molecular density is different whenever he is in a planet with
a Yellow Sun and thus his powers. Unless ofcourse Jor-El is a high and
mighty wizard in Krypton, which I doubt. I know for a fact that
Kryptonians are a highly-advanced society. They are more adept in
technology than magic. And for all I know, Superman is vulnerable to
magic. Oh well, unless someone could prove to me otherwise or correct
me, I’d still be in thinking. And no, the suspension of disbelief
theory won’t do.

No Mo’ Money

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005
I think I’m going in to hyperdrive
again. Eversince the last payday, I’ve bought atleast a couple of audio
CDs, DVDs, a couple of comic books and lots of food. I don’t even know
if I could hold on up to the next payday. What’s killing me is the toll
fee on the hi-way. I didn’t even realize that I spend atleast P700+ a
week just for that. Plus the P1,200+ for full tank of gas. A full tank
could run my car for a week.

I don’t really want to compute the
total of all that expense. Just seeing the value that I have to add up
is enough for me, thank you very much. Sigh. And I was even planning on modifying my car. :( It’s time that I tighten
up that wallet. It’s almost christmas and I got to have enough dough to
buy presents.

Ka-ching Ka-ching!

DVD-DVD kayo diyan

Sunday, October 16th, 2005
There’ll be alot of DVD’s coming out
in the next few months. Star Wars Episode III will be out by November 1
and BATMAN Begins DVD is already out now. I can’t wait to get my hands
on one. Though, my friends say that I should wait for the Deluxe
Edition to come out, and that’ll be tomorrow. Sigh. What is it with
these special edition crap. Why do they have to make 2 copies of
everything? Is it about the money? Well, ofcourse, it’s all about the
money. Sheesh. What kind of a stupid question is that?

Smurf Village BOMBED!

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005
It something that I didn’t expect seeing. It’s true, the Smurf Village has been bombed. This time, it’s approved by the family of the late Smurf creator, Peyo,
and it’s for the benefit of the UNICEF anti-war campaign. It’s purpose
is for the rehabilitation of ex-child soldiers of Burundi.
The
ad begins with the usual opening and opening song that we all know.
Passing through the smurf village, seeing smurfs dancing, singing and
frolicing about. Then from out of nowhere, bombs drop from the sky to
the unsuspecting smurf village. It was chaos! Smurfs running for their
lives, finding shelter. Mushroom houses blown into bits. In the end, we
see a ravaged smurf village, a fallen Smurfette and a crying, tattered
Baby Smurf. Then a message appears: "Don’t let war affect the lives of children".

It
was a harsh ad. It’s so harsh that it had an adult rating and was only
allowed to be aired by 9pm on Belgian TV. A spokesperson from UNICEF
Belgium said that the ad was reallly made to shock people because
conventional ads bearing images of injured children doesn’t have that
much impact anymore on viewers. It’s true, though. Nowadays,
unconventional means can really get through alot of people.

If you want to see the ad, you can download it here. It’s very interesting.

Munch Munch Crunch

Tuesday, October 11th, 2005

As I was eating and chewing my breakfast, which consists of corned
beef, egg and rice, I suddenly chewed on something… crunchy. Don’t
you just hate it when you’re eating something you know that is soft and
chewy when suddenly you’ll be chewing on something crunchy? At this
point, alot of things were coming into my mind. From a piece of egg
shell to a common house fly. Mind you, I’ve had alot of experiences
eating unwanted things in my food. Take for example, the ordinary
pandesal (bread). I’ve had my share of crunchy bits, from pebbles to
house flys to hornets. Yuck. I’ve also been victimized by the ordinary
looking Palabok. I know there are some crunchy things in the
ingredients of the Palabok, so I’m not really that much conscious of
what I’m chewing… that is after it get stucks in between your teeth
and pick it out to see the head of a cockroach. EWWWWW…. ok. I guess
that’s enough icky and yucky things.

Bleeeeach!

Unisex Toilets

Tuesday, October 11th, 2005
I don’t know if any of you guys have
been inside a unisex toilet, but recently, our company implemented a
"temporary" unisex toilet because the ladies room is under repairs. Now
I know what it feels to be in Ally McBeal. It’s strange to see
employees of the opposite sex inside the men’s room especially when
you’re pissing, then a cubicle door opens to see a lady coming out of
it. It really feels awkward. Though, luckily, the ladies are more
awkward than us guys. They usually go in pairs or sometimes in groups
in entering the toilet. Actually, most Filipinas, by nature, are very
conservative, no matter how much they say they’re liberated. Filipino
men, on the other hand, are gentlemen, no matter how rude and naughty
they may be, when it comes to situations like these.

In the end, it all comes down to respecting each others privates…err… I mean privacy. ;)

Choo Choo

Sunday, October 9th, 2005

I think I’ve heard it all. All kinds of trains, that is. The new office
where we were situated right now sits beside a railroad track.
Everytime a train passes by, the whole building shakes. At first, I
thought there was an earthquake or something whenever the train pass
by. But as time passes, you’ll get the hang of it. Shaking off the
shakes and rattles. I’ve also heard different kinds of train horns.
Though, I don’t know if the different horns comes with different
trains. I’ve heard one that sounds like a donkey. There’s also the
long, non-stop horn. It must be an express train or something. The only
thing that I haven’t done yet is time the trains. Maybe next time.
