Apat Dapat, Dapat Apat?
One of the attractions of watching Apat Dapat, Dapat Apat was having shared the Cebu Pacific flight to Hong Kong last August with the movie’s leads. I did not see them then but my traveling companions did. Kayers and my 79 year old aunt saw Rufa Mae Quinto and Pokwang while S1 and I were lining up to pay the travel tax. Since S1 and Kayers were the last to board the plane, they saw all 4 who were seated in front. S1 who used to loathe Pinoy TV but has since become addicted to telenovelas even recognized Direk Wenn Deramas who helmed the movie. As with most Cebu Pacific flights, a fun game was conducted during the flight. Pokwang was gracious enough to sing the complete Voltes V theme. But I digress. The reason I saw the movie was to see how they shot Hong Kong. I also had time to kill and I’ve already seen Stardust and No Reservations.
The movie is about 4 friends who vow to be best friends forever and to stay together no matter what fate befalls them. Because of financial need, they end up as domestic helpers in Hong Kong. Res, played by Candy Pangilinan, is killed by her employer. Her friends, Gay (Pokwang), Bright (Rufa Mae Quinto) and Dolly (Eugene Domingo), spirit her out of Hong Kong to save their lives by passing her off as one of the living. Concealing the truth from Res’ family is what the rest of the movie is about.

Top 10 Shameless Blogging Mistakes I Made as a PreBlogger
10 – Blogging for Google Instead of Readers
Seriously, this is one of my biggest mistakes. When I started this blog, I tried to squeeze in as much keywords I could in a post to attract the crawlers. The ploy didn’t work out and I lost a lot of potential readers. I do agree that Search Engine Optimization is important, because it is! But let that be second priority. Write for the readers and not for Google.
Pink for October
The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month’s goal is to increase awareness about the importance of the early detection of breast cancer through a worldwide campaign. Through the pink ribbon, people honor survivors and loved ones, and support the progress towards defeating breast cancer.
The ribbon can be worn different ways – mostly by using it as a lapel pin. This website can also wear the pink ribbon and this can be done by listing up for the Pink for October. To support breast cancer awareness, blogs and websites will go pink for the whole month of october to get more people talking about breast cancer and just maybe raise money for cancer research.
How do you feel when you burn your money?
Earlier this year a lot of us received forwarded images of a Ferrari F430 on fire. It was later posted as a video by a guy who’s part of the Ferrari’s convoy:
While seeing a car burn to the ground is shocking enough for most people, a Ferrari F430 is worth a staggering 12 million pesos, sans excise tax, which goes at 100% the car’s value. If you’ve watched the video, you have just seen 24 million pesos burn to the ground.
How to compile an inventory of books
Let me dispel any notion that this post is about accounting, confined as it is to the sphere of debits and credits. Still, in a way this entry would have something to do with “bookkeeping.”
And by books, I suggest nothing else but hardbacks, novels, paperbacks, history books, nonfiction, thrillers, classics, and everything in between – especially those by Ursula LeGuin, Murakami, Frank Herbert, Coelho, Debray, John Irving, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Saramago, Marquez, Castañeda, and more. I have an appetite for books.
For some time, I have been thinking about how to account for all the books that came into my personal possession.
Appalled at the growing number of books that have gone missing (some other things have been missing too these days), I was driven by necessity to keep track of the books that I have, including those that I lent to some people, and the others that have simply become absent both from my memory and the physical realm.
All of a sudden, as I was in a bedridden state, I thought of something.
