c'est la vie

i've been remiss in updating my blog for a long while, and a lot of things had happened since like my birthday.

"flowers&dicks" cake from my BS friends *awww, i love you guys!*

of course, when playing tong-its all night, you've gotta have booze!

twihard fan D, invited me for the premier of New Moon, well i watch Twilight with her, so why not and then a few hours after the screening, my other BS friends, invited us yet again to watch it with them.

D + Kristen Stewart = twihard

from the 9pm megamall premier to 12mn showing in trinoma

i get to watch CATS with C, big THANKS to my cousin T, who gave me the tickets, complete with the backstage pass, yippee...i finally saw Lea Salonga up close.

Lea Salonga as Grizzabella the glamour cat *meow!*

gala night party, we were so under-dressed so we just drank a few glass of wine and just waited to see Lea Salonga up close, and boy! did we :)))

traffic was horrendous in Manila, so we just had a few laughs, barely missing the show!

while scrounging the DEBIDE in quiapo i found some cool movies starring two Ben (Ben Barnes and  Ben Whishaw) and two fab movies to add to my reportoire!

the adorable Ben Barnes as Dorian Gray  in 2009's Dorian Gray

Ben Whishaw as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille in Perfume the Story of a Murderer.

one of my new year's resolution for this year was to RUN, so i started running again with my BS friends at UP and sometimes just for fun, we took some pictures...ate tons of Isaw *burp* and just hang!

the very infamous Mang Larry's Isawan

i recently stumbled upon trailers of SAVING SALLY (and proudly pinoy made) i hope it gets finished somehow cause all i'm seeing in the website SAVING SALLY  is it's COMING SOON (as possible) lol!

This a very typical love story that involves a boy, a girl & monsters.

Saving Sally is a tiny independent Filipino feature film that combines actors, 2d animations, matte paintings & motion graphics. Most everything was shot on a blue screen & is currently being worked on by a small group of compositors, animators, rogue elves & rusty robots

 

apparently, the project was started as early as 2006 (and the actress who originally played Sally was Anna Larucea) but when the shooting was continued she wasn't available anymore, so they had to re-shoot everything again (we'll i think Rhian Ramos did a much better job) i'm absolutely delighted with that actor playing the comic book editor (the one with the eyepatch) hehehe, see (first trailer) 00:41 and 00:48, when he gushed with relish "I weep inside!" im crossing my fingers and hoping that it gets finished and will be coming as soon as possible.

 i have a confession to make, for the past two weeks i've done nothing with my spare time *weeell...aside from reading manga and books, playing fb zinga games and daydreaming* but watch Disney cartoons. okay i started with the recent ones, Toystory 3, Up (which never fails to make me cry, for the first 5mins of the film), Wall-E, Meet the Robinsons, Cars, Monsters Inc, Princess and the Frog and further went down the classic lists: Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Mulan and Alladin (which i partly blame) because i stumbled upon this recording session of Brad Kane and Lea Salonga recording "A Whole New World" and it brought me back to my childhood!

and im currently loving Donnie (singing voice of Shang) Osmond's MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU...

i love captain li shang as much as i love the three stooges (Yao, Shien-Po, and Ling) Yao is just so hilarious, esp when he said to Shang, "i'll get that arrow pretty boy and i'll do it with my shirt on!" bwahahahahah! it just leave me in stitches XD
