Thoughts for today

Why is everyone suddenly joining Facebook? I got around 10 invites just this week.

The Taco Bell branch in SM Southmall is now closed. I loved their pseudo-Mexican food.

The bus fare from our village to school has increased by around 54%. How I wish the proposed extension of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) from Baclaran to Cavite was already completed. Would've saved me a lot of time and money. By the way, I spent 45 minutes waiting for a bus on my way home.

Blogging by Twitter

I find myself updating my Twitter more often than this blog. Probably because I don't have to say a bunch of things anyway. So starting today, I will automatically publish my tweets here on Top Dog using LoudTwitter.

One Missed Call

I just finished watching One Missed Call.

What the hell is that mess? Although again I was amused for more than an hour. I seriously liked Feng Shui better than this movie.

And I'm back

Finally, our thesis defense is over and I can finally say I'm back. For good, I hope. Last night, I promised that I'll watch most of the movies I have downloaded the past few months. Well, so far, I've only seen 10,000 B.C.

The movie started slow. So slow that I almost pressed the stop button. Good thing I saw the whole movie. Though it was not really that good, it kept me entertained. It did not turn out to be the movie I had in mind while previewing the trailer several months ago, but I liked the turn of events anyway.

Next up, Hollywood versions of Japanese horror flicks...

Some thoughts

IMG_5745

I missed these babies.

I was passing through SM Southmall last Friday and there was an American Festival along the Food Street. Since when do we celebrate the Independence Day of other countries? First, Halloween. Now, Fourth of July. What's next? St. Patrick's Day? Ah. Capitalism at its best.

They say there is depth in the women's tennis tour. I say there are currently no great champions.

I'm so excited for my internship, which will start in a few months. Problem is, I haven't secured one yet. I'm so sick of university, except from one sunshiney spot.

Bubble of Thoughts

1. 27 Dresses. A mess of a movie. Who the hell wrote that script? Too convoluted. Too convenient. Too impossible. Probably one of the top five worst movies I've seen.

2. Overeating. When I'm stressed, I overeat. Fast food, junk food, chocolates. I need to shed of the bloat I got the past two weeks.

3. Life imitating art. MV Princess of the Stars and Poseidon Adventure, one of my favorite movies. 'Nuff said.

Underwhelmed

The past half year, I was underwhelmed by the following:

Juno - easily one of the most raved about movie last year. It got a lot of press. So I probably expected a lot from this movie. I did enjoy it, but yes, I expected more.

Cloverfield - ditto.

Gossip Girl - WTF was that finale? After that explosive "All About My Brother" episode comes a disappointing season finale. Where was the drama? And Georgina's "punishment" was so lame. I also don't like a Serena-Nate team-up. Good thing Rufus and Lily saved the episode.

The Hills - That's it? Totally expected. You've done it before, MTV. Lauren chose Jason over Paris. And now, Heidi chose Spencer over Las Vegas. Lame.

American Idol - Boring. Safe performances. Cookie-cutter contestants. The only saving grace is Fantasia's over-the-top performance.

A fresh start

Bonifacio Global City

It's the start of the new school year. We haven't even noticed, as I spent most days in school anyway. Prices at Agno Street, where meals are usually cheaper than proper restaurants, have gone up. By at least 10 pesos. Now that's a lot.

I guess it's sayonara to my usual afternoon snack - Jamaican patties.

The crowd

Starbucks in SM Southmall is already open since the weekend, I've heard. Last night, I passed by the place. I was planning to have a cup of hot chocolate or tea, but 10 meters away from the store, I can hear this group of 30-something moms laughing uncontrollably.

Ugh.

Why must every Starbucks crowd be annoyingly noisy? Different branches, same crowd. This reminded me why I have stopped going to Starbucks when I'm alone. Any other coffee shop than Starbucks. But then when I'm with my friends, they'd much prefer Starbucks. So I can't argue can I?

Conlin's Lifestyle Cafe in SM Southmall.

It's pouring again! And I don't want to get myself nor my laptop to get wet.

I am not a fan of their coffees and fruit smoothies, but their vanila chai latte is fantastic! Their pastries are good as well, although their cinnamon roll is too sweet for me.

Oh, did I mention the connection was great awesome?

World Pyro Olympics 2008

Not the best of photos. Had reservations with the best seats in Lamesa Grill - until it rained poured. So we were stuck inside the restaurant. All shots were handheld.

We should've went with our prior reservations at Gumbo instead.
