The Forbidden Kingdom

Awesome fight scenes! Fast moves! The movie premise is a bit shaky but Jet Li and Jackie Chan sure do make fighting look easy.

Movie: Street Kings

The movie was good. I mean really good. Not awesome or mind blowing but it was a very good movie to watch. I could almost foresee the plot then something else would happen; the twists were surprising and interesting. This movie, as many great works before it, brought to mind the phrase, "Who watches the watchmen?" I highly recommend everyone to watch this.

I can't wait for Indiana Jones, Iron Man, and Speed Racer. Please do not associate Street Kings with the aforementioned movies. I also like blockbusters as well as the next man.

Card's Lost Boys

I just finished reading it. I couldn't stop. Spoiler ahead.

I will not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

I will face my fear and let it pass through me.

LOLZ. I sure would like to see it happen. Ripping those frets while killing monsters would be awesome. Click on the link to see screenshots.

*yes, yes I know it's an April Fool's joke but it would be awesome!!! Somebody contact Blizzard and tell them to make it for real. Hacking away at monsters would be so much more fun if you added ripping riffs and melting faces!

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.
