JUNE 30: FACE OFF

June 30.

History is about to happen.

And quite a history, too. As the world holds its breath for the 30th of June, the yellow ribbon looms over Malacanang, waiting for the inauguration of the new president.

And all the people Filipino can ever say is....

"Sino ang mauunang manood ng Eclipse?"


And, oh boy, if what I think will happen does happen, this is one heck of a history all right!

Imagine the new president's inauguration flopped by a Hollywood Glam Vamp film!
What could be a better way to say:

"Crap to politics, I'll watch a foreign film instead!"

Besides, they will also say:

"Oh I can always watch that inauguration later on Youtube."

Nice.

Very patriotic of you, that remark.

So here you have it! The face off!







Benigno Aquino III












~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Versus~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~














Edward Cullen










Who will win?

Well, it's up to the youth and all other girls and gays that go "ooh and ahh" over the latest trend.

But, mind you, kids. Remember your promise to that slogan one network keeps on blathering "Ako ang Simula"

But it's just a thought.

Here's some screens for those who can't wait.

































So who will eclipse who?
Byte me!

Death Note, now in Hollywood?

===
Way back in the early 21st Century, a young Japanese genious found a small notebook lying about on the street and made doodles. Little did he realize that whatever name he wrote, that person dies.

With it, a series of unexplained incidents of mass deaths rose, creating mass hysteria and unspeakable cults, worshiping someone who simply calls himself Kira on the internet.

Fanatics called it the day of rapture, a moment where all the evils in the world are thus cleansed away.

And then, after all the foray and manhunt, everything ended quite suddenly.

No one really knew the whole story. All they knew are two names: Kira, and L.

No one that is if you hadn't read "Death Note."

Or have at least watched the TV series or the two movies
(which to me are equally good)


So after the trend and a lot of *ahem* pirated merchandising, Death Note came to a close and was replaced by a bunch of colorful costumed kids who think of themselves as ninjas.

Well word has it that Death Note might make a comeback. This time on Hollywood and care of none other than Warner Brothers, the same producers of the Batman franchise and "Superman Returns".
Being a fan myself, I think it's a bad idea. Given with all the incessant, tired and old formulas Hollywood infest on many of their adaptations, like that stupid ending of "I am Legend," and that lousy adaptation of "Dragonball Z," I say this is one the fans, even the franchise, should watch carefully, less Ryuk brings in a new carrier and write all the names of these producers down.

But on the bright side, some names came up in the internet that might bring justice to the roles of Yagami Light and L.

So until Hollywood brings in the casting call, might as well look up some of the suggested names...

Byte me now...



Why not?


Yeah, can be a good excuse for Misa.


Oh, hell no!

And for Ryuk...
Whoops!

Umm... How did that picture get here?
Byte me!

Blog from the sickbed

To be honest, I hate being sick. If I ever, I'd never have been absent yesterday.
But then again, things would have gotten worse.
Had the cold and a bit of flu and if I did go for it, I might be sharing what is the latest fad now that the rainy season is here.
Wouldn't want that, do we?
So I called in sick.

Now I do apologize for the inconvenience.

Well, here's the thing. For LIT 102 we will still go at it with your delayed short report/open-letter. After that we immediately be tackling "Mill of the Gods". But be sure to be ready for a short quiz on Monday. Don't worry. It's an objective type.

Now don't you worry too much about the way I grade you. I have a rubric for reporting. Keep smiling. There you go.

For Humanities, I'm still cooking something up from your reading of Philippine painting and society hand out. Next week, we will be discussing sculpture.
As with the course outline, I still have yet to transfer it on to the internet. Keep smiling too.

Being sick isn't what it it's all wished up to be. Like I said, I'd rather be with you, my fellow Thomasians.

Don't worry... I'm coming tomorrow.

Now... here's something to entertain the restless...
