Nowhereian Motley Notes

Happy!

I'v been pestering the Cheese for months now for this "rabbit", and finally he gave in! Thank you!!!

Hope you had a Happy Valentine's Day too :)

Oscar Nominee Film # 2: Moneyball

2012-02-14T20:24:00.000+08:00

If Rotten Tomatoes rated Moneyball with a whopping 94% on its Tomatometer, then you know that this film is not something you should shrug off as that-film-who-stars-handsome-Brad-Pitt.

However, it isn't also one of those "sports movie" that you have in your mind. Mostly it's about what goes on behind the manager's room, the dugouts and the pitch. To quote a term, it's about "sports management".

Moneyball begins in year 2002 where an underfunded baseball team - the Oakland Athletics -just lost their 3 best players from other wealthier clubs. It is up to general-manager Billy Beane, with the aid of his senior scouts, to look for players that will replace the three from within their budget (which is really not much).

While negotiating with Cleveland Indian's GM, Beane meets Peter Brand, a 24-year-old economy graduate from Yale. Brand believes that a winning team is not necessarily made up of star players, instead a collection of talents that eventually will add up to the sum. He uses statistics in order to determine a player's weakness or strength, and from that information, together they built a team that ended with a baseball record.

It's not action-packed and for most people might be quite boring but I enjoyed watching every bit of it. It also doesn't hurt that I was watching Brad Pitt with his crinkly (or is that wrinkle?!) eyes who after all these years is still an eye candy. Definitely shows a formidable side of Pitt's acting career through the years.

Claim. Drink. Eat.

JC and I went to Venice Piazza today to claim our Discovery Channel Vertical Run singlets for tomorrow. The whole process didn't take us more than 10 minutes so we lingered around the area...

and found this outside.

We also spotted Susie dining with humans in a restaurant! Geno seems to be missing and it doesn't look to me that Susie misses her. teehee.

So we walked our way out of McKinley Hills towards the general direction of BGC. We found ourselves here.

I originally ordered Strawberry Surf Rider but found it too sour for my taste buds (candy fruity but sour actually) so I exchanged it for a Banana Berry instead. I love that Jamba Juice has this kind of rule so at least you won't be stuck with what you get if it turns out you don't like what you first ordered.

While waiting for our order to be called, who did we find? The Fat Kid Inside himself, Erwan Heusaff.

Now these are happy faces of satisfied customers. I love that my juice isn't too sweet because I'm still recovering from a recent bout with colds and coughs.

We went back to the general direction of High Street and Serendra for our last stop: Sonja's Cupcakes.

I was about to buy my usual favorite - PB&J - but then the Cheese saw this and said to try it instead.

Pistachio Berries 'n Cream

An afternoon well-spent (and budgeted!), tomorrow we run.

An Impromptu Evening at Mad Mark's

2012-02-09T17:09:00.001+08:00

Last night I finally got to try Mad Mark's Man Sandwich and Frozen Dessert. Although I live in Kapitolyo (and very near their place quite frankly) I never got the chance to try the newest food hub in our neighborhood.

Thank goodness for spontaneous night outs! We ordered their Lumberjack Sandwich and requested for it to be divided into 5 (we bought 1 and a half) just to have a taste of what it's like. And it didn't dissapoint!

Here we are girls sans Joel who took the photo. We were also about to have a round of Uno card game after finishing our food.

Do not be deceived by its small size, it's actually very heavy on the tummy!

Lumberjack Sandwich

Oozing with mozarella!

Their Herb Parmesan Fries though for me was the surprise hit. It was a foodie gem!

Herb Parmesan Fries

And to cap the evening off, we of course ordered ice creams! Half-Baked Madagascar (Madagascar Vanilla Bean with half-baked cookie dough), Madagascar Vanilla Bean and Mandheling Macchiato (made from fresh roasted Mandheling Arabica beans from Sumatra). The Mandheling Macchiato was my top choice among the three bilang Ben & Jerry's still holds the best cookie dough ice cream spot for me.

Oscar Nominee Film # 1: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

2012-02-02T16:40:00.001+08:00

So I finally resolved myself into watching my first Oscar Nominee for Best Film category: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The film was adapted from international best-seller novel by master espionage author (who was once employed by British intelligence services MI5 and MI6) John le Carré.

This film is not an easy one to watch as I constantly have to educate myself jargons about secret services and general background about the novel so I can have a better understanding of what's going on and not just obliviously sit there with agape expression and a thousand questions sprinting thru my brain.

Although I haven't read and seen that many spy films/novels, I am actually a huge fan of this kind of genre. Imagining the secret lives that these agents lead, the scandals, classified informations and all that shiznit excites the hell out of me. I remember the thrill and action rush - albeit only inside my head, in my own bed - I felt while reading Rober Ludlum's Bourne trilogy.

However, for people thinking that this spy film is a la James Bond 007 secret agent, you might be disappointed to find that it isn't nowhere near to Ian Fleming's kind of espionage. There are no heart-stopping action scenes, lavish spy gadgets, sleek cars and beautiful women.

In fact, the mood is very drab and melancholic, probably a great justification of the Cold era. Amidst it all is George Smiley, an intelligence officer who was pulled out of his forced retirement to investigate and reveal the identity of a double secret agent sitting inside the Circus - the in-house name for MI6.

Director Tomas Alfredson used nonlinear narrative technique to tell the story of how George Smiley unmasked the mole inside the British intelligence with the help of course of a few other agents (such as Ricki Tarr and Peter Guillam).

So, who was the mole? Was it Percy Alleline [Tinker], Bill Haydon [Tailor], Roy Bland [Soldier] or Toby Esterhase [Poorman] (George Smiley was Beggarman himself, the codes being assigned by the former Circus chief, Control). Watch the film and find out for yourself.

From left to right: Poorman, Tailor, Tinker, Control, Beggarman and Soldier.

Manila Photowalk 2012

2012-01-31T01:49:00.001+08:00

Starting the new year with a little tour around my home and most favorite city in the world (support your own!) - Manila - with some of the coolest office friends and the Cheese, of course.

We started here.

Before meeting in a small park not far from this abandoned-lot-turned-into-skate-park.

Took a break in this alley reminiscent of Vigan's cobblestoned street...

Which is directly in front of this...

So we went inside and look who we found!

Resumed walking to what we supposed is Fort Santiago (but not really)...

What remains of the original facade...

Inside Fort Santiago is Rizal Shrine that houses relics, works and memorabilia from Rizal's time. I took a photo of this portrait because he looks so gwapo here! Aminin nyo.

Got amazed with his Valedictory Poem (Ang Tulang Walang Hanggan) written on the floor!

Tired and super hungry we roamed to nearby Binondo looking for the perfect and most recommended restaurant to try. We found Sincerity Restaurant on Yuchengco Street, unfortunately they're about to close for the day, ergo no famous Sincerity chicken for us. Most of the highly recommended restaurants are closed (because it's Sunday?!) so never mind, we just picked any restaurant that can serve any food for 5 hungry people.

And found ourselves in Golden Fortune restaurant (we were right on time for their promo meals!).

These are the happy (and excited) faces of hungry and tired people upon serving of food. Sulit na sulit, in all fairness!

I've done various little Manila tours but each one is always a different experience. I hope to do more of these in the coming days. It doesn't only open our eyes to our own little pockets of treasure, it also teaches us a little bit of our historical past, which come to think of it,many of us have already forgotten. Always a pleasure to reacquaint yourself to your own city with rich cultural history.

So, have you seen your own Manila lately?

And the Oscar Nominees Are...

Robinson's Galleria Cinema 4 Sucks

2012-01-23T15:30:00.000+08:00

JC and I were so excited to finally watch Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol (after MMFF 2011 movie monopoly has been finally lifted) so we decided to watch in Robinson's Galleria since it's nearest Greenhills (where we need to go first) and has the most convenient time that really suits our need.

I guess it was already a hint when upon showing trailers before the start of movie I noticed that the screen was a bit slanted and compressed in the middle. They were able to make up for this though come screen time. However, about an hour into the film, suddenly it stopped. This was quite irritating because as everyone knows MI4 is a fast-paced movie and no scene really should be taken for granted. After about 5 minutes it finally came back and I don't know how much we missed because the next thing we knew they were all jetted on their way to Dubai.

Then it happened again. Watta crap.

JC even told me that the couple sitting next to him left already, probably pissed like everyone inside the cinema and couldn't take it anymore. We didn't leave because I paid a rather hefty amount of money (191 pesos, which was more expensive than what they charge in Ayala cinemas that have far better amenities) to be entertained NOT to be royally pissed for cutting the film twice!

I swear they are worse than SM. Super disappointing.

Suffice to say, that'll be the last time that we'll be watching in Robinson's Galleria.

Old Photos of Manila

2012-01-19T16:29:00.000+08:00

I love looking, reading and finding out about old Manila photos, old Philippine churches, photos of our ancestors or just about anything related to the old Philippines.

Looking at the old faces of our ancestors, I try to picture how they lead their lives and what their personal stories are based from what I can see and it's not that difficult, really.

Manila, Manila, Manila. You were such a darling city of the orient once upon a time.

Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus

2012-01-15T23:47:00.001+08:00

Being raised by a hard-core Catholic grandmother I knew she would be beyond dismayed and would probably reckon my soul as damned if she ever finds out that I stopped going to church (or hearing mass) when I went to college. It would be unfair however to blame it all on UP's academic and religious freedom however, it is undeniable that the university really had a huge impact in moulding my personal and spiritual beliefs.

But I digress. I'm posting this video here because he was seriously spot-on about almost everything religion embodies since a millennium ago. I am not a preachy type of person - make that NEVER - but this kid threw some realm of truth that our church (or in my case, my grandmother) would never want us to descant (insert "erehe" or "filibustero" name calling here).

PS: I believe in God, in Jesus, the Architect, the Great Hand, the Maker of this universe or whatever other name He goes by. I just don't fully support what our church here is preaching. They have a major issue with consistency.

Hong Kong Day 1: Ngong Ping 360

2012-01-11T18:51:00.002+08:00

A roundtrip cable car ticket cost us HK$125 each. Crystal cabin is more expensive but it's okay, we can live with a regular cable cabin hee.

I have no words. The 20-minute cable ride was nothing short of amazing. We have a bird's eye view of Lantau Island, on our left we can see HKIA and directly below us is a lush mountain area where there's a trail going to Ngong Ping Village (I salute all the people who takes this route going there!).

Backpacks and all, we walked around the village spying on the cheapest menus (di namin type ang mga pagkain) and all the trinkets each stores have to offer.

I didn't count the exact number of steps before we reach the summit (I'm sure Google can provide the answer for that) but it was pretty high. The view from above was so beautiful we can't stop from gushing.

Although Buddha is not the god I whisper prayers to every night, I still offered a short prayer thanking him for the good weather and safe arrival at HK. We may acknowledge various gods but at the end of the day they're all the same, they have the same meaning and importance to us.

On our return trip to Tung Chung Station, JC and I waved hello like crazies to all the passing cable cars. It's really nice when your waves are returned or when they grant you their sheepish little smiles :)

Hong Kong Day 1: First few hours in HK and already we are lost!

2012-01-10T23:14:00.002+08:00

Good morning Hong Kong! We landed at a cloudy HKIA around 8:50, pretty much followed the crowd to get to immigration but before lining up we searched for that "elusive" ticketing office (where we were supposed to buy the Octopus card, turns out it was after the immigration pa pala!). Information office was empty. So sad to see an information booth empty, honest!

That's my happy face upon seeing the entirety of HKIA. Their airport is so impressive I wish Manila could have an airport maybe not as big but perhaps as pretty and efficient. After buying our Octopus card we proceeded to find the bus bay to our destination - Ngong Ping. This is where our "little" adventure that annoyed the hell out of me started. Not even an hour in HK nawawala na kami haha.

Their bus terminus is so organized it's really not that difficult to find your way around. It's listed alphabetically so figuring out your corresponding bus (depending on where you're going) is quite easy. We took the S1 bus that was supposed to bring us to Tung Chung Station. Well, to make the story short, no we didn't get there cos we kinda panicked and got off at the wrong stop upon reading some Tung Chung sign somewhere. Haynaku we walked some pretty nasty distance only to arrive at the wrong place, again.

I was being so cranky (hello ambigat ng dala namin at by golly, it's my first time in HK and I refused to admit that we are lost haha) so after the second S1 bus ride we finally conceded to a cab ride (which I rarely do, not when outside the country, cabs are my last, LAST resort).

Napa-pambihira na lang ako after the cab driver dropped us off at the real Tung Chung station haha. You can't miss it! And so we immediately queued up for tickets to get us to Ngong Ping Village, the line was super long but it was fast moving and the funny thing is that I'm so used with the long queues we have here in Manila that I was terribly in awe with how fast everything is being done in HK.

Oh to be in a first world country, talagang first world service din nga naman :)

New Baby Has Arrived!

2012-01-04T01:00:00.001+08:00

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and advance Happy Birthday, self.

PS:

Thank you so much Papa Jesus! You know how long I've waited for this. :)

So Long 2011!

2012-01-03T01:53:00.003+08:00

2011 taught me to be more patient than ever. To wait for everything to come on its own full circle. It brought me to new places that once upon a time were only just a dream. I also attended 4 weddings and a funeral (no pun intended!) which made me celebrate and appreciate life more than ever and throw away immediate marital visions and predictions haha.

It ain't much but as long as I'm still breathing, enjoying God's wonderful gifts and creations, I consider everything to be a blessing no matter how small or grand. Allow me to share the highlights of my year through photos:

January. Marikina walkathon with friends. We've been meaning to do this for the longest time and finally it just happened.

February. Cebu! Probably next to Baguio, this place holds a special place in my heart. Whenever I'm in Cebu, my tummy and palate is home :))

March. Something inside this little fangirl's heart died after watching her favoritest local band's last gig. Sugarfree, o kay tagal din kitang mamahalin...

April. Kai Mykonos L. Fernandez. This little bundle of joy may not be mine but in a way she was and many others.

May. I turned 27. I also went back to Sagada aka the zen place up north. Although I didn't see any of those magical wild horses, the experience was pretty magical already.

June. Baguio aka my second home (even though I have no house there!) to visit my godchild Mykonos who's gotten pudgier, bigger and longer! gush gushing galore.

July. All hell broke loose (and BBoyd didn't even take his shirt off ha) upon news of Incubus' return in Manila (it's their third time here already). Thank God I finally was able to catch 'em live albeit still from the farthest seat in Araneta haha.

August. Good God of heaven, I did it! I conquered the granddaddy of Philippine mountains. And despite blistered, soggy feet, dead-stiff knees, chilly nights, I made it to the summit of Mt. Apo. Not without help, of course :)

September. I admire how the local government maintains local tourism in this part of the country. Puerto Princesa Underground River's promotion and maintenance is no easy peasy but they do it so effortlessly I never complained for the prices I had to pay just to get there.

October. Salunat-Franco nuptial. Second wedding I attended this year (well, I didn't attend the Diaz-Gonzales wedding ceremony but I was there on their wedding party so it counts!). What a beautiful wedding.

November. I waited 11 months for this trip and when it finally came I was so happy I almost peed on my pants. Joke lang! When I was watching the closing fireworks in Disneyland I almost cried. Standing there, I relieved my childhood dream - heck, every child's dream - of going to Disneyland and can't thank the Lord enough for this wonderful, wonderful chance. Not many kid/people gets to fulfill their wishes, and on that moment I know that I was one very, very lucky kidult.

December. Another wedding to cap off the year. This time, the wedding of one of my closest - sige na nga bestfriend haha - college friends. Despite the humps and bumps before her big day, everything went greatly. It was a happy day/night especially after most of the guests left because then the real party started :))

If I was ever frustrated or angered in 2011, well happier memories replaced them cos I can't seem to remember them now (or I'm just still drunkenly giddy from the joyous new year celebration hee). The bottomline is, they are not important. What's important are the lessons I learned, the people I met, people who brought significant changes in my life and made me a better person than 2010, experiences that taught me to be wiser, tougher and better in everything be it work, personal relationships, social life, travel mishaps, everything! You know it's a good year if you learned something new and brought it with you the next year.

Thank you Lord Almighty for the year 2011. I am ready to embrace 2012 now.

Death Cab For Cutie Live in Manila!

2011 Christmas Wishlist

2011-12-17T02:46:00.047+08:00

Just in case anyone's interested :)

Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Black. For the longest time I've been dreaming of owning an Onitsuka pair.

Gerber’s Bear Grylls Survival Series. I'm a huge Bear Grylls fan nevermind the "staged" situations :))

Lego Planner. Because I'm a huge Lego fan.

Collection!

Issues #1-5 have two stories, one written by Stephen King!

Intrigued just because Evanna Lynch (who portrayed Luna Lovegood in the HP films) kept raving about it (plus the cool ads haha).

Cambridge satchel bags are terribly expensive so I'd settled for a Cole Vintage instead :)

To complete my A Song of Fire and Ice book series. Second hand book'll do!

As a kid I wanted this. As an adult, I still want it. Still can't afford it :|

Another championship title for Boston. It's a long shot but heyyy, you'll never know :))

If you're outside the Philippines, please send me one! I'll PM you my address :)

Socks. The staple of my every (birthday or) Christmas wishlist.

Aside from #10, I know I basically asked for material stuff. So for non-material things, here's my list:

Happiness and peace of mind for Mo Twister. You can add KC Concepcion too.
For the rumored Coldplay or Radiohead's concert to push thru here in MNL.
~~Super advance: For Barca to win in this coming El Clasico! :D~~
To borrow from my officemate's wish, JUSTICE FOR RAMGEN!
No fare hike.
For Chantel and I's dreamed indie film set in Sorsogon to push thru. Certainly it won't be about whale sharks nor popular tourist spots.
NAIA rehabilitation plan to push thru ASAP.
Fire-free Christmas and New Year.
Full land distribution for Hacienda Luisita farmers.
Justice for Maguindanao massacre victims.
To not rain on Christmas.

Rerun: Love Actually

2011-12-01T23:13:00.003+08:00

It's that time of the year once again. Time to revisit the film that gives me, and I'm sure a lot more other, that warm fuzzy feeling deep into the pits of our stomach.

PS: O di ba Deputy Rick Grimes looks pogi when he isn't being chased by a legion of zombies :))

Hong Kong Disneyland

2011-11-30T10:26:00.001+08:00

If Disneyland and Hong Kong weren't too expensive, I'd definitely be here at least once a month. One day is NOT and NEVER enough!

I wish to come back soon. Or maybe I'll take Shanghai Disneyland instead when it opens and if I got the $$$.

New Hunger Games Trailer

2011-11-15T22:00:00.000+08:00

I'm not a super fan of The Hunger Games Trilogy (I like the plot though - something new, different and exciting - and Peeta and Haymitch!) but I like keeping track of the film adaptation of the novel. I didn't set my expectations high, except for Haymitch's character (I approve of casting Woody Harrelson as Katniss and Peeta's mentor), so it was pretty awesome watching the second trailer (after the first crappy and horrendous trailer/teaser of course). It more than made up for its first (again, crappy) trailer/teaser that I am actually excited to see it come March 2012.

PS:

Jennifer Lawrence aka Katniss Everdeen was really pretty in the Reaping scene. I hope Josh Hutchinson aka Peeta Mellark does not disappoint us all :D

Di Ingon 'Nato (Not Like Us)

2011-11-10T16:45:00.001+08:00

Watch and give this film a chance. I know, everyone's gonna compare it to American zombie films and series i.e, The Walking Dead, but let's just say that this is the Pinoy and barrio version at that of a zombie film.

Also before you lash out with all your criticism with the film, keep in mind that this movie has waaaay low budget than its western counterparts and besides, I think it was, if not the first, one of the films to foray into the "zombie" genre. I'm sure many will follow the footsteps of directors Brandon Relucio and Ivan Zaldarriaga.

Franco Reyes was surprisingly a good actor ha, and Mercedes Cabral, as always, is a pure gem. The cute kid who played Nat-Nat stole the show too! The father-and-daughter tandem, Rez Cortez's character and the doctor, somehow became a source of humor throughout the film because viewers can very well identify that their Cebuano accents are unnatural.

Still, it's a film worth to watch pa rin. I love the cinematography and the effects, may laban!
