Movie: A Very Special Love
Starring John Lloyd Cruz as Miggy and Sarah Geronimo as Laida, Miggy was the son from a second family who was always hot-tempered because he had to prove to the first family that he could be on his own. He ran the magazine The Bachelor. Laida applied for the job of editor assistant because she had a crush on Miggy.
Miggy was pressured on the anniversary release and was always shouting at his staff. Then Sarah who was so patient and understanding melted the heart of Miggy. Miggy started to notice her and soon began to fall in love and learn how to care.
When the launching of the cover was made and Miggy felt like a failure in the faces of his family, he drove out and even drove Sarah away. By talking to his dad on the tomb of his mother, he learned that he had a lot of pain in his heart that he could not see or prevented people from loving him.
In the end, he realized that mistake and came back to Laida. He realized that someone could love him for who he was and he could love somebody by just being him.
The movie was full of fan and “kilig” factors which most people who fell in love before would appreciate.
Globe Slashes Text Messages by P0.50 A Promo
I read that the for you to register in the promo which is valid only for 1 DAY, you need to send TO 20 to 2868. You will receive a confirmation within 30 minutes that you have 40 text messages to other networks. Now the big question is could these text messages be used to Globe and TM? The answer from a source is a BIG NO!
Guys, this means that you can use only the 40 messages to other networks (meaning, Smart, Sun, Mobile Addict). For you to text on net subscribers, meaning Globe and TM, you have to load up separately. Whoever thought of this was absolutely smart in getting more money from the subscribers. I like to hire this person! Kudos to you!

He offered his help to Hancock so that the latter would turn to be the superhero people would admire. Little by little, Hancock was changing for the better.

They Later in the film, it was revealed that whenever Hancock and Mary together, they became mortal and could be hurt.

Movie: Wanted
Wesley was the son of the greatest assassin of the Fraternity. He was trained by the Fraternity to follow the footsteps of his father. His main objective was to avenge his father by killing the one responsible. It turned out that the person he was to kill/killed was his real father who was trying to get close to him so they could talk. His father did not want him to become an assassin. However, the unknowing Fox was keeping him from away from the man. She thought that she was protecting Wesley from the assassin.
It also turned out that the head of Fraternity was doing assassinations for more money and not what the code dictated. So Wesley’s father left the group. Since there was no one good enough, the Fraternity recruited his son and trained him so that the latter could kill his father.
This is really a nice movie although some scenes could be quite gruesome. R-13.
Movie: Incredible Hulk
The government would just never give up in locating and capturing Bruce Banner because he was a key in creating more of the powerful soldiers for the army. He was almost captured in several instances. However, the general used the chemicals they made on a certain colonel who became obsessed with the power that he overdosed himself and turned into a more hideous monster. He was destroying the city and there was no one to stop him that the Hulk. The general had no choice but to let him go (after apprehending him) to fight the monster. They also discovered that the Hulk had feelings as shown by obeying Elizabeth when she said not to kill the monster.
The battle of the Hulk and the monster was exciting. You would wonder who would win. And I bet there’s a sequel. This time with Iron Man.
Relax and enjoy.
Movie: Caregiver
One of the touching films I’ve seen in the big screen. The story was about a teacher who gave up her career to work as a caregiver in U.K. She wanted to follow her husband and later on petition her son to be with them.
Unfortunately, she found out that her husband was not working as a nurse but a health aid, similar to janitor. Her husband soon felt ashamed of himself and started drinking and skipping his duty. In the end, he wanted to go back and was forcing Sarah to go back to the Philippines.
But Sarah, due to her adventure with a rich old man, William Morgan, learned about her own values and decided to stay there. The scene with William Morgan was touching. At first, the old grumpy man was shouting at her but when she spoke back the old man realized his mistake and became mellow. They became good friends until the old man died.
This movie showed that being true to your duty and learning to be more human could lead to friendship, warm, and kindness in life.

I read about an article where Judy Ann Santos briefly explained about the issue with Meralco. Then when I passed by an ad board of Gabby Concepcion using Lucida S. I wonder if Gabby got his good facial complexion using such product. Anyone?
Jeepney Fare Increases by 0.50 On May 21, 2008 in Metro Manila
Sad announcement to all commuters. Effective May 21, 2008. Jeepney fare in Metro Manila will increase by P0.50. This means the jeepneys will charge each passenger P8.00 for the first four kilometers. It seems that the P20 that will be granted to workers would be reduced by this additional burden to our pockets. A short computation, the P20 per day multiply by 26 working days will give us P540 but since this is subject to income tax, the take home amount would be less. I guess most of us would save a bit by walking a few blocks if possible.
Globe’s 5-Peso/15-Min. Surfing Needs Enhancements for Prepaid Accounts
When the 5 peso for 15 minutes surfing promo of Globe Telecoms was launched last month, I thought I would be able to read my emails. However, when I tried to connect to the link for Gmail, an error prompted in my phone’s screen. Then I read the FAQs of Gmail and was instructed to ask the network provider if it allows secure SSL traffic. It took a month before the customer service gave me a feedback. It said “our network does not allow secure SSL traffic for prepaid accounts”
I was totally disappointed with the reply. How could they advertise so much and yet they have put limitations and DID NOT INFORM prepaid subscribers of such. I also tried using my phone as a modem and true enough, I could not connect to Gmail of Yahoo mail. Their service really was a disservice. Subscribers were being charged for every connection whether successful or not.
I do hope they can improve their system. Aside from the surfing problem, they are having some problems with their share-a-load facility. What’s going on with their servers??
Movie: Iron Man
Tony Starks is a genius in making missiles. He developed the Jericho missiles which were very powerful. He was abducted by some terrorists who forced him to create missiles for them. Instead, he developed his first Iron Man armor using the weaponry stacked by these terrorists. He was able to escape and got back to the city. Before he left, he saw the scientist who revived his heart and helped him build the suit.
He had a change of heart and became more responsible. He perfected his armor and fought back the terrorists. His heart gadget was stolen and was used by his father’s friend to build an Iron Man suit which hit him hard. The gadget was able to power the enemy’s suit more than his old one.
Of course in the end, he was able to defeat the villain. In the end, he admitted being the Iron Man. Question is …. is there a sequel or none?
