So, I'll take this opportunity to thank all my faithful readers, and those who put trust in me and my pen! THANK YOU!

Having a Taste of UST's Famous "Dirty Ice Cream" for the First Time

If there's one thing you need to know about me, you must know that I'm a germaphobe. But last Monday (22 August, 2011), I had my first taste of UST's famous "dirty ice cream". It's not actually "dirty" or "filthy", it's just called that cos it's sold in the streets, so yeah... I'm still alive, and the ice cream wasn't bad at all :)

Gloomy Friday Morning

The sky is dull grey, and the wind is blowing softly, brushing through the foliage of every tree. 

Oh, who am I fooling here? Let us not be poetic right now, OK?! Well anyway, the sky is grey today, and the weather dude on TV says that we'll be having the same weather over the weekend. OK, guys, you can groan now. But the thing is rainy days welcome creativity and ideas! So why not get on your feet and do something sensible today? After all, it's FRIDAY...

Sweet Lovely Morning

I was having my usual morning run through Etsy, and I found these really cute items! I have to say, I'm starting to wish it'd rain candy right at this moment! Oooh, sweet candy rush!

Tangled Ever After

Sorry to break your smiles, guys, but this Tangled poster isn't for a sequel to the first Tangled film, but for a Disney Channel TV special next year. The directors of Tangled, Nathan Greno and Byron Howard have announced this. Voice talents Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi haven't confirmed to reprise their roles -  Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, respectively - yet, but keep your fingers (and toes as well) crossed!

Breaking My Record

Folding paper cranes has been my hobby for the past five years ever since my Japanese friend Arisa (hi, Arisa! - wherever you are...) taught me how to make it. I've created colourful ones, torn ones, boring ones, but yesterday was extra-special for my paper crane folding career. I folded the tiniest crane I've ever made! It's height is 1.2 cm, and its width is 2 cm. Even smaller than the one I posted earlier! Pretty cool, huh? I even placed it inside a vial to preserve it.

The Love List...

Sending Fan Mails

Do I even have to explain why this is in my Love List? Oh, and yeah, I'll make sure that I send a snail mail every month - to a celebrity or not!

10-Peso Jeepney Trip Around Manila (Startpoint: POST OFFICE!)

After dropping my mails at the POst Office, I rode a jeep to Buendia, but I got more than I payed for! I got to see sights in Manila I've never seen before - alone! It was like being a stranger in my own country. The experience was just amazing!

Getting Nice Marks and Learning From Mistakes

I got a 1.25 in History and a 1.75 in English - I'm proud, yes, but in Philosophy... only God knows what I got in that subject. However, I realised that getting nice marks ain't easy at all in college, so I'll do better times 10! And in PE... Guess what I got?!

Paper Cranes

I simply love paper cranes. They remind me of the beautiful story of Sadako, and the hope it brings to people. Whenever I'm bored, I just get a piece of paper, and fold the boredom away!

The Joy Luck Club

We watched half of the film during literature class, and I found the story really fascinating! I never got hold of the book, but now, I can't wait to get my own copy of Amy Tan's best-selling novel!

The Woman in Black

OK, the thing is, I don't watch horror movies, especially those with creepy children and moving toys in them. They leave me sleepless for many nights, haunting me in the day, and they get me hallucinating late at night. As much as possible, I stick with fun movies that make me laugh, and most of the time, I just watch movies within the PG-13 rating. 

But since I'm a BIG fan of Daniel Radcliffe, The Woman in Black is a whole different story. I've seen the trailer - which gave me goosebumps! - and I'm really looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. Watching it would be like putting a closure to the thought that he is still Harry Potter, geared up with a wand and the cloak of invisibility. 

In The Woman in Black, he's on his own. He's not a boy wizard, but a lawyer named Arthur Kipps settling legal affairs of his deceased client. He's got no Ron and Hermione to be by his side, nor a red-headed Ginny Weasley to hold his hand when things get rough. He's not saving the Wizarding World, but the life of his child. And of course, his enemy is not Lord Voldemort, but The Woman in Black. 

Here's the synopsis of the screenplay by Jane Goldman:

Young lawyer Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) leaves his son in London to settle the legal affairs of the recently deceased Alice Drablow. He discovers a series of inexplicable accidents and suicides have forced the parents of her village to barricade their children indoors, as if protecting them from an unseen foe. When Arthur stays the night all alone at the Drablow’s foreboding house, he hears the screams of a drowning child and sees decaying children listlessly wandering the marshes. He will soon discover these haunting figures share the same date of death, and the same killer.

The ghost of a scorned woman, who was unable to save her beloved son Nathaniel from drowning, The Woman In Black takes on a horrifying form. Set on vengeance, her veil hides gaping sockets eaten away by scavengers and her curse hides an even darker secret … whenever she is seen, a child dies.

In the face of hostility from the local residents, Arthur dredges up Nathaniel’s skeleton and buries it with his mother, hoping the evil spectre will finally rest in peace. In a cruel twist of fate, the Woman In Black turns her claws towards Arthur’s young son. To avoid a fate worse than death, Arthur must now sacrifice everything he holds dear and save his child.

-Jane Goldman, The Woman in Black

Good Morning!

I'll be sending a out fan mails again today. This time, I'll be sending some love to Daniel Radcliffe and Bonnie Wright :) I've wanted to send Bonnie Wright a fan mail since I was in my freshman year in high school, but I didn't have enough courage to do so. But now that I'm in college, and my university is a few minutes away (that is by car of course!) from the National Post Office, I won't miss any chances - I'll send her a fan mail today!  And Daniel... Well, I've loved him since I was six, and nows the time to confess  to rip out the 'creature' roaring in my chest (LOL! - Half-Blood Prince reference).

I also want to show y'all this cute Kris Allen TwitPic that I absolutely love! He forgot one of his brown shoes, so he just has to "resort to these green Keds." Stylish, Kris!

And finally, I want to share this new music video of one of my favourite bands - The Naked and Famous, dubuting their new single 'The Sun'. I could say that the video is too explicit - no wonder the video got banned from YouTube. But still, it's a candy to the ears! So yeah, here's the link to the video instead: http://vimeo.com/27790801...
