2008 World Pyro Olympics - Day 2
What’s with WPO and the rain? I do not know. But ever since the 1st WPO, there is always a day or two where it rains so hard either in the afternoon or right when the first participant is ready to lit the skies, and again we’re dripping, soaked, wet!
But just like in the previous WPO’s (especially the 1st WPO), people stood their ground and never left their places, who cares about the rain when you are about to see one of the world’s best fireworks? The crowd started to

Charles’ Reviews: Manay Po 2: Overload
April 27, 2008
Its been years since I had my last movie review (Evan Almighty), but now since its vacation, I can do a lot more. Just this week, I watched two movies that opened: a local gay-themed comedy Manay Po 2: Overload; and a foreign parody Superhero Movie. But right now, I’m going to tell about Manay Po!
Manila Leg of the Altar Boyz World Tour Concert Reviewed
April 8, 2008
Most recent in the series of theater plays I have seen in the last six months (Avenue Q, Into The Woods, Hamlet, and Dulaang UP’s Orosman at Zafira before this) is Repertory Philippines‘ production of the award winning, off-Broadway musical comedy Altar Boyz. I enjoyed falling off the edge of my seat laughing at its OMGFTWBBQLOLCAT brilliance. And, quite literally, this is a re-view because I’ve already seen the show twice. Oh, look! A fluffy gazelle prancing behind a pink flamingo on a rainbow colored, diamond studded pavement! Also, lacey parasol!

The Horrible 8 McDo Experience
March 20, 2008
originally posted at –> McDo
Yesterday, we, the graduating batch, had our graduation practices at school. Since the canteen servicing the school had already closed, we had to order food for our lunch from fast foods.
Some of my batchmates ordered at Jollibee, but our group decided to go for KFC. We tried ordering at KFC but they notified us that they can’t make it since they didn’t have any delivery boy for the day. So we ended up ordering at McDo.
Ordering Process (McDo)
I was the one who took care of the ordering process. I called McDo’s (McDonalds) hotline in Davao, 228McDo. I did not have to wait, there was a person on the phone right away. I gave my name, the school’s complete address and other necessary info such as contact number. Then, I dictated our orders to their Customer Service Representative (CSR). The CSR rechecked our order to make sure that there was no omission, addition or duplication in the order. Everything went well and promised us to have our order within an hour after the confirmation call of the McDo servicing branch to the contact number we provided.
It was exactly 12:17pm, about a minute after our 228McDo call, when the McDo servicing branch called us up for confirmation of our order. We confirmed it right away.
The Agony
Uhm, it was about 12:45pm when some people started complaining telling me that their hunger is already killing them. I told them to wait just a bit longer cause their promised one hour was still not over. Then, the bell rang. It was already 1pm and lunch break was over. Me and Beth Rosero decided not to attend the practice yet and wait for our order. By 1:17pm, one hour after the confirmation, the food still was not delivered. We bothered to still wait a ‘lil longer, and by 1:30pm, I tried following-up the order thru 228McDo Davao hotline.
The 228McDo CSR asked for my name and contact number. She saw on their records that the order was confirmed by 12:17pm and asked for apology for the inconvenience. Then, she told me that the servicing branch gave them no feedback yet on the order. She also asked me if the servicing branch asked for time extension after the confirmation and I replied negative.
After the call, we still bothered to wait even longer. Then by 2:30pm, I tried following it up for the second time. The CSR, again, rechecked for our order status and said that there still was no feedback yet from the servicing branch. Then I asked her which branch, and she told me it was McDo in Damosa. I asked the CSR if we can have our orders canceled. She contacted the servicing branch herself thru phone and told me that our order was still on the store. I got pissed cause after more than two hours of waiting, our food was still on the store. The CSR then confirmed if I was sure about the cancellation of our orders and I confirmed it right away without the consent of my other batchmates.

The Return of Filipino Animation
February 20, 2008
It’s been years since we last saw a full-length Filipino animation and that time we all reacted that it is not at par yet with American Cartoons, Japanese Anime, and the general Animation industry in the world. BUT, if we kept an open-mind back then, Filipino Animation releases (full-length or otherwise) becomes better and better for every release.
And you know what? This year we will be able to see the (as gamers say it) “bestest” of Filipino Animation has to offer. Want to see the trailers?

Still Awestruck by Reportory Philippines’ Hamlet
February 6, 2008
Last Thursday, I saw Hamlet, my first Shakespeare stage play. Guess what? I didn’t fall asleep, YAY! Since it’s my first time to even hear Hamlet’s verses, I did not know what to expect off it. I did not even have the slightest clue that this was a tragedy. What I do know is I’m too old to still not know anything about it so one invite from Lorna Lopez of thebachelorgirl and I’m off to Onstage in Greenbelt 1 on a weeknight after work.
If you want to at least see a Shakespeare play in this lifetime and want something that won’t bore you out of your wits, then this show is for you. I’m not Shakespeare savvy but I totally dug this shiz.

Pinay Scandal and Pinoy Scandal
December 24, 2007
From my recent post, we can now have an overview of web users around the globe searching for specific search keywords from Google networks.
Yes, Google is watching. Google servers watches each and every search histories from Google search engines made by any web users around the world. All these search queries from Google are all recorded and translated into a useful information. In fact, they are consistently recorded and gradually translated as comparative graph. Google named this feature as Google Trends.
And oh, Google Trends can support keyword trend’s statistics comparatively. This basically means Google Trend site can accept two keyword inputs separated by a comma for head to head graph comparison and displays this graph differences against the demand search number and trend year as X and Y axis respectively.

Beowulf - Film Review
December 8, 2007
The old meets new in this blockbuster animated film from Robert Zemeckis. “Old” being the ancient poem Beowulf and “new” being the cutting edge 3D technology employed by the visionary director Robert Zemeckis. Here, the pioneering director takes a second stab at the visual gimmickry that he used in Polar Express in where real actors became puppet masters to the digitally created characters. I say gimmickry, because it felt like a solution looking for a problem as the digital veneer offered no advantages over traditional live action/computer graphics combo. In addition, it introduced new problems like creepy eyes and forced movements. The hackneyed story didn’t help either.
The Golden Compass - Film Review
December 8, 2007
Plot
Review
Let me preface this review by stating coming into the film I had no clue about the book this movie is based on, Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. But based on the hullabaloo I can surmise its hugely popular in Caucasian land and its decidedly anti-Christian but I’m here to review a film and not talk about controversies. And review it I will.
The film made me grin with delight, not at the majestic polar bear, nor at the ultra cool witch or the dashing explorer but by the…
The Journey Back Into The Woods
November 28, 2007
Everybody everywhere has at one point in their formative years been fed with the tainted idea that all step-sisters, most especially step-mothers, are sickeningly conniving and brutally wicked, thanks to fairy tales. That and princes would ultimately have to leave their kingdoms in search for their one true love because of either of the following:
The nobles are the only “fair†people in the “land†mainly because everyone else do not have the right nor the luxury at vanity; Princes can not just marry local princesses because that would be plain incestuous and immoral, albeit tempting, or that local princesses unrelated to them up to the third degree of consanguinity have long been swept off their feet by other princes from other kingdoms; or Their kingdoms are completely worthless. They know so because they obey a crowned Queen who does not have an ounce of charisma, covers for the serious misdeeds of an obese King, making her more loathed than hated, and whose inkling at giving attention to decrees that are of distastefully mediocre importance make her citizens smirk in shame when word gets to other kingdoms. The prince thus takes it upon himself to leave his people, using only his charm and nobility to win maidens from distant territory whose kingdoms are less chaotic and where he can also get paid at 4x a prince’s daily wage. Thus is the sweet reward of migration, the modern term for the more common old statement that went “in search for his one true love in a land far, far away.â€

Remembering MGB’s Undas Special
November 3, 2007
When I was a child, my whole family would cram in front of the t.v. to watch horror flicks or scary t.v. segments the entire day during November 1 and 2. Particularly, we all love Magandang Gabi Bayan’s Undas Specials. As a child, I was automatically driven to sit beside my mom the whole show because I was afraid my kuya would scare the hell out of me. Plus, our t.v. room had 6 big windows in it’s entire right wall so every time the show would queue it’s grave cries and shrieks, I would literally cover my head and stay away from the windows.
It’s just too bad that Noli de Castro had to be our VP and leave such an award winning show. It sucks to have Korina Sanchez or Katherine de Castro do ABS-CBN spook segments because they don’t look like they’re really into those sort of topics. Korina Sanchez, for me, is annoying to watch on Rated K much more see her do a spook segment in her show. I guess it’s her overrated way of looking ‘goody-goody’ on t.v. or being too overstyled for her age. Why not let Alex Santos and/or Julius Babao do these segments for a change? Im sure they’ll do a much better job than these ladies. Come to think of it, why not have Ricky Carandang do spook segments for ANC? Haha, now that’ll be interesting.
The Women of “Like Water for Chocolate”

I just want to post this because I’m quite proud of this paper when the rest of my classmates discussed about the romance in the novel. I had to retype this because I only have the original hard copy which I submitted to my professor. This post is slightly altered from the original paper to include my teacher’s comments and corrections. Unfortunately, I forgot her name but Ma’am MZM(S?or L?) thank you for your interest in my paper and for the grade.

Radiohead - In Rainbows Review
October 17, 2007
Few bands reach that avant-garde status, where a triumvirate of fame, musical prowess and fortune is achieved and sustained, all the while staying together. Rarer still is it solely acclaimed through musical intrepidity. Unlike their fellow contemporary luminaries, U2 or Madonna or Rolling Stones, Radiohead claim to this vaunted stature is not refinement of a staid musical formula nor through targeting demographic acumen nor through sheer tenacity. Radiohead is an Aurora Borealis in the music industry. Ethereal and unprecedented. Characterized by the haunting voice of Thom Yorke, the paranoid music, the melding of organic music composition and the usefulness of technology and the economic use of weapons in their musical arsenal. The group makes music like no other. Beautiful and enriching abominations.
