Parents are gone 1

Sunday, July 17th, 2005

Only 19 days they stayed this time around. Dad promises to sell the practice, and come back for good — but, wonder if it’d really happen this time around. I have doubts.

FMP! TSR – Episode 01

Saturday, July 16th, 2005

I laughed when I heard “I can’t die, I have homework due tomorrow.” spoken with the typical Sagara Sousuke’s emotionless voice. Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid picks up where the first FMP left off without a pause, and it works like a charm! The action starts from the first scene with reporter telling news [...]

Million Dollar Baby

Saturday, July 16th, 2005

In recent memory, I think Crash and Cinderella Man are the only movies that could match up to Million Dollar Baby. It’s another notch above in my opinoin, and could very well be one of the best movie that I’ve ever seen!
Million Dollar Baby is told in a narrative style by Morgan Freeman. [...]

Something funny

Friday, July 15th, 2005

I was at the bank earlier today, waiting to speak with the customer service rep when I came across a children’s book called Bunny Money. The story is about a bunny who wanted to buy her grandmama some birthday presents. So, she went to town with her younger bro to check out some [...]

Fruit flies might be driving me insane

Tuesday, July 12th, 2005

Sometimes, I wonder why I undertake crazy tasks without understanding the scope of them. It sounded fine, researching into drug delivery system by dissecting 3rd instar drosophila larvaes for their imaginal discs in order to dose them with the appropriate drug. But, I’m wondering how did I end up sitting here in lab [...]

The Da Vinci Code

Saturday, July 9th, 2005

Dan Brown, the author of Angels and Demons (a book I never heard of), wrote the extremely popular book of The Da Vinci Code 2 years ago. I know of the book’s reputation, but I actually wasn’t sure if it’s fiction or a boring description of Da Vinci’s art works. When a chance [...]

Honey & Clover – Episode 07

Friday, July 8th, 2005

From the last episode, after the graduation project completion celebration, Mayama takes drunken Yamada home. But he got beat up for his effort! The next day, Yamada apologizes for her family, and Mayama takes her out for a luncheon. Possibility of shifting Mayama’s interest to Yamada? OooooO!
The next segment deals with [...]

18 Bronzemen

Friday, July 8th, 2005

I was no more than 8 year old when I first watched 18 Bronzemen and somehow, the name of the show stayed with me, along with another Hong Kong Kung Fu flick called Mu Ren Xiang. Somehow, BlockBuster Online carried the 18 Bronzemen title and I was able to view it tonight after more [...]

Honey & Clover – Episode 01-06

Thursday, July 7th, 2005

If you’re looking for laugh out loud humor, you won’t really find it in Honey & Clover. This is a show about a group of exceptional college art students living their life and the interaction between them. Some people calls it “slice of life,” I find it quite difficult to relate. However, [...]

Alone in the Dark

Friday, July 1st, 2005

Sometimes, you just have to watch a really bad movie to appreciate the good ones. Alone in the Dark isn’t the worst movie in the world (I think Dracula 3000 is the winner in the sci-fi department), but it’s pretty damn close. Starring Christian Slater and Tara Reid, the movie is about monsters [...]
