Vendo-garage

The idea is like an uber-advanced vending machine. You park your car on a platform, get out, and let the parking garage take over. The platform is lowered into the ground, and transported to a vacant parking spot, shuffling around with the other cars to fit as many cars as possible into as little space as possible. When you want your car back, you just ask the garage to bring it back, and it shuffles the cars around again to pop yours back up onto the platform: facing the street this time!!!

Naks! high-tech! kung ang vendo machine, may glitches at errors, syempre, hindi mo maalis ang magduda. Kung vendo lang ng soda, ok lang. maliit na bagay lang. Pero kapag kotse na ang usapan, haha! Paano kung maling sasakyan ang lumabas? Swerte naman nung libreng upgrade ng sasakyan..

Pano kaya kung nawala mo ang ticket mo? O kaya kinain, dahil hindi ma-recognize? Hassle! At ang bayad, ginto! $25 = 1250 pesos kada araw. whew!

reality check

"Hello Philippines, Hello world!"

Malamang alam nyo na ito, pero hindi ang iyong inaakala. ngayong kapanahunan na ng eleksyon, mas mabuti pa at wag na nagpa-audition ng mga housemates. Silang mga pulitiko na lang ang ilagay sa loob ng bahay sa loob ng 100 araw! laking katipiran na rin para sa walang katuturang mga poster, tarpaulin, public appearances, pakitang-tao, atbp.

Magkaalaman na ng totoong kulay. Ikulong sila sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya! Maghapon, magdamag silang mag-debate. Lahat naman sila marunong, nagmama-marunong at nagmamagaling. Kayanin kaya nila makipag-plastikan sa loob ng 100 araw? Meron kayang magsasapakan, magtatarayan, kung pwede, magbarilan at magpatayan na rin sila... (jungle-survival, haha!)

Hindi na sila karaniwang tao, gusto ko lang makita kung ano ang ikinikilos nila kapag walang staff, spokesman, PR consultant, bodyguards, goons, atbp. Magkaroon kaya ng mga kissing scenes o baka may magladlad na ng kapa. John-O! Hmmm, ang saya!

Pumatok kaya ito sa mangmang na naghihintay sa kanilang pagkanta, pagsayaw at mga mabulaklaking pananalita.

At ang botohan para sa mga magiging winners: text, votes cards, at online votes na rin! Wala nang eleksyon, gastos pa sa pagrehistro, flying voters, dagdag-bawas, vote-buying at kung ano-ano pang pandaraya... Laki nang kikitain ng gobyerno, wala nang gastos sa pagpapatakbo ng eleksyon, kumita pa sa text! Bakit kasi may mga taong gahaman sa pondo at uunahin pang kumita?

Hay, dudugo na naman pala ang tenga ko sa walang kamatayang "SA PAGBABALIK..." na laging tinitili ni Toni G. tsaka yung mga sangkatutak na adlib.

Apocalypto

Recently watched Mel Gibson's Apocalypto, its not as gore as I expected. "The Departed" is more shocking and gore!
It's R-18, so showing is so scarce, it's not shown at the nearby SM.

Well, for my review, this movie took me into another place and time. It's like you are right there watching them upclose from afar, ala-national geographic, haha!
Mel Gibson has a lot of creative juices, given that he's not drunk.

I expected that the movie tackles about the Mayan civilization, at least they were brought to the city, sold as slaves, as sacrifice. The rituals, I won't elaborate anymore, hehe! but its ok, you can tolerate the gore! The characters talking in native Mayan language. the subtitles might bother you at the start, like watching a foreign film. But action scenes don't have scripts anymore, unlike our classic Pinoy movie.

Whew! I somewhat enjoyed the movie, watched the longest chase scene ever made! I wish I could have their extraordinary stamina, being hurt(speared) and all, still running full-speed nonstop, day and night. I suppose when you're running for dear life, you'll forget how to be "tired." We went on a debate on what animal was chasing them? my friend said 'twas a jaguar, having a connection to Jaguar Feet, and i insisted 'twas a panther. Hehe! Turns out to be a jaguar! [Poor zoology memory!]

I was not satisfied at the ending. since im transported in ancient times, im craving for more bloodbath! more suspense! more carnage! i want them all dead! [rrrawl!]

Flashback: Went to Gateway mall, anyway. As I look around, i noticed the security. I wonder, what could be the benefits being one? Haircut? Facial? Makeover? Hmmm, I can say is... well-groomed. Starstruck!

As for my glutton, we gave Taco Bell another shot. We both had not-so-good tastebud experiences with the tacos. I tried the burrito, while my friend chose quesadilla. Not bad, filled stomachs! But I forget to take my cam out, since i turned myself into camwhore mode these days, hahaha!

Improving, the cinema lobby are now filled with seats. Unlike before, when I seat on the floor waiting for the next screening. now i can't take my cam out. Hello! cinema premises! grounds for piracy! Hay, still dreaming to have my pics with the seats and the garden backdrop nearby.

Resolutions

Ok, it's way too late for 2007, but not for the Chinese new year, hehe! My 2006 is highlighted by, at last, joining the workforce, naks! That was good, for me and my family, (of course!ok for one th they keep nagging me to loat time). So hopefully, it will be continued progress for us.

Resolutions! Although it will be neglected after some time, but for me, its a must. It's for my self-improvement, naks!

- Spend more time with my siblings. (bonding and Jawo times!)
- Spend time discovering more about Prunes 101..
- Master time management, i have to manage myself, as a son, brother, subordinate, student, loner, friend, confidante, lover. (whew!)
- My alarming tardiness! (OMG! it's getting worse!)
- Be able to explore serene sceneries.
- I have to learn a thing or two. (Gosh! My pileup of to-dos!) And I miss fantasy NBA.
- Gain weight, gain weight, gain weight!
- talk, talk and more talk. Improptu talk, i mean, getting acquainted and all. I need to learn the art of sweet-talking!
- Have that confidence, that's what everybody is looking for from me.
