Twilight premiere

Posted by nix On November - 25 - 2008

Tonight was the premiere of Twilight. My cousins and our friend will be watching tonight. My churchmate, Ara, will absent from school tomorrow just to watch the movie, which in my opinion is bad. She’s still in high school.

Anyway, I liked Kristen Stewart since Panic Room, and she’s also been in movies like Zathura and In the Land of Women with Meg Ryan. She also had a cameo role in Jumper, as Diane Lane’s daughter.

I’m pleased that she was casted as Bella Swan. It’s a great break for her. I think she’s the hottest teen star at the moment because of the exposure Twilight is giving her.

I haven’t read the book. Though i was in Powerbooks earlier and found a hardbound copy and an open paperback of Twilight, so i read a few pages. And the role suits her, i think.

On the other hand, Robert Pattinson is very lucky too, to have been given the role of Edward Cullen. He starred as Cedric Diggory in a Harry Potter movie. A sad role too because he had to die.

He’s the crush of all Twilight fanatics out there, because, according to them, Edward Cullen is such a hottie, ergo, Robert is a hottie for playing the role. Even if he’s not, he’s still hot.

Another familiar face I saw in the trailer is Elizabeth Reaser. She’s Ava/Rebecca Pope in episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. She’s playing Esme Cullen in Twilight, and i have no idea at the moment who that is. But since she’s a Cullen, she’s a vampire!

Even if i haven’t read the novels, i’m still excited to see the movie. I’m such a movie buff. I plan to watch it, though i’m not sure when or who with. I might go alone, as usual, but i want to go when things have died down a little. I don’t want to go in with all the people coz i want good seats and enjoy the experience.

Pugad Baboy and The Shack

Posted by nix On September - 28 - 2008

The other day, my class ended early and i called mom to tell her about it. She asked me to run an errand, which i did, but the rain poured while i was walking and so i headed to Shangri-La. I was stranded and i decided to waste my time in my favorite place, Powerbooks. I looked around, found some interesting books. There were lots of books that caught my attention and i would love to read them but i just don’t have the time. I have over a dozen books at home that has to be read before i go off and buy new ones. But i just can’t help it! One way or another i’d end up buying a book or two, and they’d end up in the bookshelf to rot before they’re opened.

And then, i noticed one of the shelves, holding a copy of the latest issue off Pugad Baboy comics! Woot! 20th book! I so love this comic because it’s witty funny. It always have me laughing my ass off even in the strangest places. People would look at me because i’m laughing while reading my copy of the book. LOL.

I was still reading it at home. But i didn’t get to finish it because i had mom bring it with her in Vancouver so she won’t get bored and has something to laugh about. I’ll finish it when she gets home.

I also bought The Shack, it wasn’t in my intention to purchase anything other than Pugas Baboy 20 but i did buy The Shack because of the mystery in it’s story.

The back page reads:

Mackenzie Allen Philiips’s youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious nore, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend.

Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack’s world forever.

In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant THE SHACK wrestles with the timeless question, “Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?” The answer Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You’ll want everyone you know to read this book!

I don’t know what got me to buy this book but i just felt like buying it. I’ll read it when my schedule clears a little.

Nicholas Sparks

Posted by nix On February - 9 - 2008

I think i could say that i now consider Nicholas Sparks as my favorite author. Though i don’t think i have read any of his books, i love all of the movies that were derived from his novels. I just watched The Notebook this morning and wrote about it here.

I also loved A Walk to Remember, even though during the time it was shown i disliked Mandy Moore1, i saw the movie on VCD back then. And i have also seen Message in a Bottle but i rarely remember how the story went. So i guess i’ll have to see it again.

I’m such a sucker for love stories. And i now believe that Nicholas Sparks‘ works are very, very good.

I therefore conclude that I like Nicholas Sparks and that i should read his novels.

  1. i don’t anymore []

movie marathon

Posted by nix On January - 23 - 2008

I’ve seen 5 movies in 4 days. I’ve blogged about them separately, written short reviews, and didn’t elaborate on the story. I don’t want to spoil the movie as like what i used to do. LOL. So the movies I’ve seen are Good Luck Chuck, License to Wed, Juno, Sydney White, and Sweeney Todd. I also watched Heatbreak Kid last week, or maybe that was a week before the last.

After school, i headed to the place where i get my DVD’s to get my copy of HipHop Abs exchanged. Then i bought 4 more DVD’s, right now i can’t remember the titles i bought but i will definitely blog about them too. I also downloaded 2 movies the other night. One of them is I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry, and the other is The Ten. Adam Sandler is one of my favorite comedians and Jessica Alba is one of my favorite actresses too. She’s just so pretty.

Last week, i came across a book sale. Aside from the Php99 sale, all the books in the center table have a buy 1 take 1 promo. I couldn’t find anything that really interest me, but i got Stepford Wives and Achilles because they are kind of interesting. I liked the Stepford movie so i thought i’d read the book too. The book on the left is a book i plan to give mom, maybe on her birthday, which is on April. At least i have a gift already. *lol*

SYLAR IS ALIVE! NOOOOO!!!

Posted by nix On October - 14 - 2007

Yes, i just finished watching episode 3 of Heroes s2. He’s alive but with no powers, at least for now. Claire has found someone like her, which makes it easier for her to be herself around this guy. Or is it? Now we know that Mr. Bennett is going to die, he is the last one in Isaac Mendez’s series of 8. I like Hiro, he’s so.. what’s the word? I can’t think of it now but i like him. He’s so into this “hero” thing, excited about everything and feels that he has to make things right.

I still love That 70’s Show. Everyone is so funny and each episode has me laughing my a** off. I can’t believe that i’m nearing it’s end. Huhuhu.. No more Eric, Donna, Fez, Hyde, Jackie, and Kelso for me soon. I’m having a hard time watching it here in my PC though because it’s kind of crashing sometimes. I really, really, really need the disk space. My plans for now is saving everything for back-up and have this PC reformatted again, as a whole. It’s currently in partition. Now that i have DVD writer i can do whatever i want. LOL. Once i’m done, i’ll be torrenting Prison Break next. MUWAHAHAHA! :evil:

Mom ordered me a book from Reader’s Digest and it arrived yesterday. It’s so cool. Practical Projects for your PC. It has cool projects that i could try out and even has some tips on enhancing photos and using photo editors like Photoshop. It would be really useful for my business. It would teach me how to do stuff and allow me to be creative and explore my skills. I want to try it out as soon and as much as possible.

so what’s new?

Posted by nix On August - 2 - 2007

I was done reading Deathly Hallows, like, 4 days ago. It was great. I love it. My favorite chapter was the Princes’ Tale. It tells so much about Snape’s past. I would love to blog and blab about it, but i simply have no time. Maybe next week. LOL. My brain is still playing the story over and over in my head.

I miss blogging so much. Even when i write an entry once in a while, i feel like i’m neglecting a lot.

I’m currently “busy” in school plus managing my “soft-opened” shop, working on stuff and playing Guild Wars. Oops! :lol:

Time really flies so fast. I have yet to accomplish most of the things that i need to do for school, the shop, myself. I have to learn how to manage my time and i feel that it’s about to hit me soon enough. Is it worth it to put my life in the hands, or shall i say, the pages of an organizer? I don’t like writing, i prefer typing. But i don’t have a palm pilot or a laptop. So i guess i should have to stick with the manual, organizer. The laptop will follow when business is good.

In my “busy” schedule, i still have time to watch the usual soaps and recently started watching DVD’s again after i have read DH. I need to pace myself, try to do everything at the same but still do them one at a time. Does that even make sense?

Speaking of organizing my schedule, i should limit my computer usage to 3 hours, don’t you think? If i follow that, i have an hour and 50 minutes left. :wink:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Posted by nix On July - 25 - 2007

I finally got my copy the other day but i only got the chance to read it yesterday. I think i’m in the 5th chapter, there’s so many things keeping me from my book. Here i am blogging about it. It’s sad that Hedwig died, and so did Mad-eye. I’ve read in a spoiler that Ron will die and i’m not in a hurry to find out what would happen with the others. I’m sure it would be too emotional for me. I’m glad that Dumbledore is alive, as i’ve read in the spoiler, i have not got to that part yet. But if i remember correctly, the spoiler also mentioned that he would die for real. I don’t know anymore. I’d just have to wait and see for myself. I want to take time in reading the book, really absorb what it says. It’s so sad all in all that this is the end of a wonderful adventure. It’s scary what a boy like Harry had to go through, but then again, it’s all fictional.

A couple of weeks before HP movie the 5th and book the 7th were released, i started reading book the 1st again. I think i’m halfway through, i was not able to finish it. With all the things that need to be done, i don’t think i would be able to fully read them again until i’ve really have the time. December would be good if the vacation we were invited for last year would still pull through, if mom would stop bossing me around and let me do some reading.

I’ve neglected a lot of things for reasons valid and not. I have yet to apply for an OJT and it’s already finals. I am confident that i could still do it, finish 120 hours of work. I just have to do my resume. Like right this moment. After this post.

I’m sucking in math so bad that i think i will fail again this semester. I have another major class i have failed to attend but still hoping for a passing grade. I’m doing pretty good with 2 of my subjects and i’m still waiting for a post on our next seminar.

Today is tito Douglas’ birthday. Mom called him earlier and we were instantly invited to the celebration tonight. HOORAY! Another night of hanging out with local celebrities and since i have a digicam now, it would double the fun of taking pictures. How i miss Richard Gutierrez. RAWR!~

    Help end world hunger
    Chirp, chirp!
