Want. But I hate the way they're spelling Filipino as Philipino.

I wrote to the site for them to correct it and Simon Hengle simonhengle@blueyonder.co.uk writes back:

Hello Mike,

There are about three or four spellings, that are all correct Mike,

Cheers Simon

Is he right? Are we Philippinos?

I emailed him again to check wikipedia. There's a nice note there where it clearly says that the use of 'Philippinos' is a mistake.

Hello Mike,

I applaud your enthusiasm, [sic]however when I was in the Philippines I checked with John John Mac and Anton St James, regarding the use of the different words, and the language used on the site was again cross checked in the Philippines, [sic]by the above [sic]pr-eminent [sic]Philippino Martial Artists already [sic]mentioned, as well as a friend of theirs that is a [sic]currator to a [sic]museam in the [sic]Philppines.

Cheers Simon

Well if you're up against that kind of person there is just no talking to him.

Don't worry. I took it before take off.

Grave Plaques Stolen

Thieves stole most of the grave markers/plaques in our local cemetery. The divide between rich and poor is so staggering that the poor have no qualms about defacing treasured memories.

The picture above was taken last month when I went home in Dumaguete. The graves in the picture are, I think, of my uncle, cousin, and grandmother.

There Will Be Blood

I recently stumbled on some reviews of this movie on rottentomatoes.com and I still don't understand the movie. I loved No Country For Old Men because the movie was cool; hitmen, psychopaths and a shotgun with a silencer. I didn't understand There Will Be Blood. It didn't feel like a movie to me. I understood Daniel more than you know so I don't understand what was so remarkable about a film about him. It didn't have a point. I already understood the guy so why a movie about him?

Maybe I'm a little bit different. I emphasize with Hannibal Lecter's penchant for elevating rudeness as a faux pas punishable by death. I emphasize with Daniel's ruthlessness and disdain for that preacher. I am afraid of turning into a fundamentalist but with fanaticism for elitism instead of an outdated rulebook.

Please, don't read my comments before watching this movie. Just watch it then get back to me. I'm going to hide the comments below. Just know that I highly recommend it for you to enjoy.

The movie was amazing. I don't know why critics gave it such a low score. I loved it! Everything about it was beautiful! Of course it's a fairytale, a fairytale of a child gifted with music and using it to find his parents. It's supposed to be emotional. It's supposed to be sappy. I watched this movie without any preconceptions and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
