The Fifteen Best Comic Book Movies of All Time! (Nos. 10-6)

April 29, 2008

iron man week

Like all great movie trilogies, the second movie has to live up to the first, and maybe even try to surpass it. It also has to build the story and the conflict for the third movie’s awesome finish. On top of all that, it has to stand on its own. It has to be a strong enough movie so it won’t feel like just a bridge connecting two towers of AWESOME. That’s a lot of responsibility for a movie. Thank God this isn’t a movie. This is the second part of Cinemabuzz, Comicology, and Face Rockery’s collaborative list of the 15 Best Comic Book Movies of All Time! HAHAHAHAaaaiiineed a drink.

Now, before we start, make sure you’ve read the first part of the list over at Cinemabuzz. If you haven’t done that yet, please do so now. … Done? Awesome. Let’s go.

Face-Rocking Covers #12: Iron Man

April 28, 2008

iron man week

There’s no better way to bring back my totally useless blog series, Face-Rocking Covers, than the first day of this most momentous week: IRON MAN WEEK YAY! Obviously, we’ll be taking a look at some of ol’ Shellhead’s old face-rocking comic book covers. The Invincible One didn’t catch the fancy of the general public until the movie was announced, which baffles me since Iron Man is one rockin’ mofo. Observe:

iron man

One of the most suspenseful covers ever. Seriously. It’s a dude trying to get his normal clothes off and desperately trying to put on his suit of armor… WHILE FALLING TO HIS CERTAIN DEATH! If only he thought of bringing this thing called a “parachute”.

Free Software to Increase Traffic to Your Blog

April 27, 2008

Here’s a free software for you guys (download link below) who would like help boost traffic to your blogs. It practically enables you to search a keyword and the blogs that are related to that keyword you typed in. You will be able to quickly find the blogs that are “up there” in the ranks and you can start putting comments to their blogs to increase your own blog’s exposure. As illustrated below -

1. type a keyword related to your blog. i.e. “pinoy”

2. type in your domain name (this is related to point #4)

3. PR stands for “page rank”

4. if you typed your domain name in point #2, it will show if that domain name has links with the top blogs. In this case www.i-filipino.com doesn’t have any links with the top blogs

5. you can see the highest ranking blog related to the keyword “pinoy” - in this case it is “sunstar.com.ph/specials/election” (the lower the number, the higher the ranking)

We got an aquarium!

April 7, 2008

Warren introduced me to this cool Opera widget, SimAquarium, and got me hooked last week.

Then, out of the blue this weekend, he decided to bring me to Cartimar to see if we could take the Aquarium fever to the next level and if it would do us some good on a hot, bristling Saturday.

Cartimar is located in Pasay and it is by far the biggest animal shop I have seen. It is a one stop superstore with endless shops that sell freshwater and saltwater fish, dogs of different breeds, cats - Siamese and Persians alike, a few exotic animals, birds and yeah, even shoes.

After scouring the shops, we finally decided to set up an aquarium, well of course we already knew what kind of aquarium we wanted to own. Warren once saw this type of aquarium with round edges and he thought, although far more expensive than average aquariums, that type is safer and looks better. We also thought we wanted about 10 guppies swimming in the aquarium. With those in mind, we started our hunt.

It Finally Happened

April 3, 2008

My first 5×5x5 cube has finally twisted its last twist. Good thing I have a spare which is of better quality.

Anyway, If you’re going to buy a 5×5x5 cube, don’t buy the Rubik’s brand. Not only is it more expensive, but it’s also heavier, cumbersome, and prone to damage as can be seen from the pictures below.

Bip Braklee’

March 5, 2008

One of Warren’s favorite dishes is beef brocolli.
Incidentally, brocolli is the only green thing I can eat with gusto.
Unfortunately, it is also the only thing I could not cook properly… I can cook paella, arroz valenciana, menudo, afritada, sinigang, sisig, pinakbet, chop suey - whatever, anything, everything, except beef brocolli. It’s either the florettes get overcooked and turn yellowy brown and limp or the beef isn’t tender enough to the teeth.
Until today that is.
