Erementar Gerad – Episode 04

Saturday, April 30th, 2005

She didn’t even react with the guy — seems like Ren can only form pact with one person at a time and Coud is it! So unless Coud is killed (which won’t happen), it’s all good. Ren did a solar flare technique then they escaped. As they run about lost, they come [...]

Futakoi Alternative – Episode 03

Saturday, April 30th, 2005

The responses that I’ve read from bloggers and forums are that this episode is quite depressing — other than the mood set by the music and the coloring of the scene, I really didn’t find it that depressing at all. Story goes as following:
Ai and Mai both worked at the school where Rentarou was [...]

Do we REALLY need lawns?

Saturday, April 30th, 2005

Ever since I was 12, I wished for astro-turf lawn instead of the grass variant which requires me to mow it every week during summer time. Today, I want it even more. For some strange reasons, instead of a lake front property which is much higher in resell value and prettier, my parents [...]

Upcoming Semesters

Saturday, April 30th, 2005

A lot of people asked me what I’d be taking in the following semesters… I never could give a proper answer cause I don’t really know it myself until a month or two before the semester starts! With block scheduling, it’s like my life been planned a year ahead of time. I [...]

Hitch

Saturday, April 30th, 2005

Second romantic movie of the day! Hitch is about a date counselor who creates opportunities for men with very little backbone to stand up and present themselves to the ladies of their dreams. Like them, I too, have little to no backbone, so I can sympathsize.
The story wraps itself about two main sub [...]

The Interpreter

Saturday, April 30th, 2005

The only reason why The Interpreter is any good at all is because of Nicole Kidman. I don’t know how the touch up people does it, but at 38, she still look mid 20ish.
The Interpreter went through volume full of conversation that made very little impact in the overall scheme of things because I [...]

Kung Fu Hustle

Friday, April 29th, 2005

I watched bits and pieces of Kung Fu Hustle a while ago when my parents were here and my mother brought a VCD copy. It didn’t play very well at all since the discs were all scratched up, but I saw the latter half. It’s a nice little story, but it isn’t really [...]

A Lot Like Love

Friday, April 29th, 2005

Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet plays a fated pair of lovers in A Lot Like Love. Though the critics weren’t too hot on it, I think it’s really well done. The chemistry seems to be really happening between the two in my opinion, and I groan everytime they go their separate ways!
They first [...]

XXX: State of the Union

Friday, April 29th, 2005

Could a sequel be better than original? I think Lord of the Ring is one of the few exceptions, and this XXX sequel isn’t. It’s so horribly bad, people walked out in the middle of viewing (I didn’t cause I like to think that every movie has some redeeming qualities!).
To start, it’s one [...]

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Friday, April 29th, 2005

I really don’t get the jokes in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. And I found out just now I wasn’t supposed to since I wasn’t born in British or know British humor! Which is all good! Hell, I can’t really understand them because of the accent, but for me to understand the [...]

Google Maps is the BEST!

Friday, April 29th, 2005

First, there’s MapQuest, then there’s Yahoo Maps, now… I’ve discovered the joy of Google Maps! Well, Ashish mentioned it to me, and I just used it today and damnit, it’s awesome!
Simple interface, easy to use, intuitive, and you can SCROLL!

Final Exam

Friday, April 29th, 2005

The final exam is a standardized cumulative final given by the American Chemical Society. It’s 70 questions, 2 hours long and damn, it’s pretty hard. I really hate multiple choices and I keep thinking that I messed up on half of the questions because it’s always “either or.” Oh well, I hope [...]

House of Flying Daggers

Friday, April 29th, 2005

For some reason, I really wanted to see House of Flying Daggers. Maybe it’s the cool commercials that I saw in passing, or something I read about it. I finally got a chance to see it yesterday and it was … … okay.
The House of Flying Daggers is an anti-corrupt-government organization where they [...]

SunaBouzu – Episode 09

Friday, April 29th, 2005

The famed boin-chan, Asagiri pays Sunabouzu a visit and offers him a job that he could not refuse! With the offer of 10 million dollars, Sunabouzu went along with the treasure hunter who found Life the game. The trip was long, and Sunabouzu had to endure a lot of crap from the old [...]

Air – Episode 13 ~recap~

Thursday, April 28th, 2005

It’s a recap! Nothing more. Choice scenes of the anime with each girl. The end shows a preview of the Air: Summer the movie, which is quite cute! I’d be looking forward to that.
