"Beneath the Ocean, Beneath the Ocean..."

Mesmerized by Nemo

To say Lola was excited to check out Manila Ocean Park yesterday w/ the free tickets she got was the understatement of the end-year.  It was also my first time to visit, and in my mind I (correctly) presumed that almost every other aquarium display I've seen in other countries have been superior in look, feel and fishes.

And Before I Forget...

Yes, it's snowing inside my house.  Xmas Miracle!

10 Thoughts on Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

Saw this at the SM North EDSA IMAX theater on what I'd like to call a date, but the sickly combination of cough, cold and sore throat made it hard for me to concentrate afterwards (imagine trying to hold a conversation and preventing snot from dripping out of your nose at the same time). SPOILERS.

November Notes

Nov. 5: This was at the Penguin Gallery and Cafe in Malate.  It has three things going against it: 1)P150 Door charge, 2)No conspicuous signage, and 3) Barely enough art pieces to count as a gallery.  On the other hand it was the first time I've seen a didgeridoo being played live, and to a dance beat, as the man blowing on it was also doing musical mixes on his laptop.

No real occasion, by the way.  When I arrived Kes and Sue were there and we all waited for the literally fashionably late Dee (this pic doesn't do her top justice) to show.  Later on we joined Dee's friend Dirk upstairs for beers.  Place seems to be the preferred hangout of foreigners and pseudo-Bohemians.

Pinatulog Niya Ako: 5 Thoughts on Pina

Watched it w/ Lola over during a weekend screening organized by Cinemanila at Market! Market! Normally my movie reviews would be presented in 10 points, but I couldn't muster the same enthusiasm I did before I saw the film.  Note to cinema security: Not being allowed to record a movie is not the same as not being allowed to bring a camera into the theater.  Had I brought a pack of cigarettes would you have taken those even if I wasn't smoking at the time?
