Pardon Erap? Pardon Me?!

Perhaps I will never ever understand the world of politics. Philippine politics, specifically. But, come to think of it, I don’t think the politicians do either. That’s why if they’re not at each other’s throats, they “unite” to get at another’s.

New Sweeney Todd Trailer!

So before I start working, let me share with you the newest Sweeney Todd trailer I’ve discovered just a couple of minutes ago. I am terribly excited and I have only watched the trailer once today. But mind you, I’ll be watching it again and again later. Maybe even after I do this post. I’m not selfish and I’d like to share with you my Johnny Depp’s newest Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street trailer.
