My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend

My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend

A while ago, I asked my parents if we could watch a movie after attending mass. They agreed and asked me what movie to watch. I told them that I’d like to watch My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend by GMA Films.

At first, they thought it was cheap but they eventually liked it. I defended that Tagalog movies are better. Honestly, I still prefer Tagalog movies rather than watching a foreign movie. Tagalog or shall we generalize it to Pinoy movies are easier to understand mainly because of the culture and tongue we share.

Now, for a movie review. My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend is a must-see movie (well, if you can still catch it up on cinemas). It is a story of a spoiled rich man (Evo, Richard Gutierrez) who fell in love with his bestfriend ’s (Mark, JC de Venecia) girlfriend (Grace, Marian Rivera) who happens to be a member of society’s lower class. As much as I like to share about the movie, I prefer not to for the sake of others who are still to watch it.

Richard Gutierrez and Marian Rivera had a good chemistry in the movie. Some scenes made me laugh hilariously, promise. It is not like your typical love story that makes you cry.

Marian Rivera danced her signature Marimar dance several instances in the movie. Richard Gutierrez and Marian Rivera had crying scenes which made me laugh rather than sympathize. The movie ended up with everyone happy with their lives.

The filmography was at par to my expectations. The popular focus-effects were used superbly in the film.

Overall, GMA Films made a great job. They had a lot of sponsors such as Bench, Dunkin Donuts, Zagu, Hershey’s Kissables and other companies I failed to mention.

Pinoy Love movies are NOT cheap. They are worth watching! They are better than Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. :D

Brewing my own Sony PSP

Hi.

I’m now half-finished in brewing up my very own Sony PlayStation Portable. I used a PIC16F873 microcontroller courtesy of the super-kind and generous kuya Butch Tabios.

I’m not done yet programming my very own handheld device yet but I have tried putting a sample program in it. And yeah, it worked. The single green LED blinked at a constant interval.

The blinking of the LED alone made me uber-happy, but I guess its still a long way to go before I get a game work.

:D

PRC December 2007 Nursing Licensure Examination (NLE) Result Release

The December 2007 Nursing Licensure Examination results has been released recently and now, it’s creating a big buzz on the online and offline community. [see results here]

Right now, I am in an Internet cafe beside Ateneo de Davao University. I’ve heard a lot of people talking about the results. There was even one person who shouted. Hahaha. This triggered me of trying to peep at the results. I was amazed when I saw the number 28,924. What? 28,924 board exam passers? 28,924 new registered nurses?

Okay, I’m trying to stop myself from maintaining my momentum, my view would not be that significant to the world anyway. I’m not against nurses, I admit, their number just overwhelms me. I know it’s easy to understand why too many people take up Nursing. There are a lot of opportunities abroad, right? But what is A LOT compared to A LOT MORE nurses competing for it.

I don’t know why I am writing this, but as far as I know I’m not taking the course. Anyway, It’s against my scholarship contract. Hahaha.

That would be all, I guess. I don’t like to write further, I’m afraid of MASS death threats. Hahaha. :D

0218 Recollections

As you can see on one of my previous posts, I had an unproductive trip to the metro yesterday. It was a really stupid trip. Read that post and understand why.

It was stupid but I still had the guts to look at its positive side. It opened my eyes to the real world, the REAL ones.

In Pisay (I don’t know if this applies to all campuses but I’m sure it does; here in Pisay Davao), we have a so-called world. It’s not that I’m bragging, to tell you its not positive. We are given a perfect world where circumstances are controlled. Everything seems to be perfect. Everything seems to be fine and calm despite the stresses. When a person starts to get low grades, the teacher always comes to rescue. (more…)

Pinoy Money Talk

Pinoy Money Talk is a late-night TV show hosted by no other than Kuya James of Pinoy Money Talk. It is aired on his own network, Pinoy Money Talk TV, which has recently been granted by the National Telecommunications Commission a permission to air microwaves of TV-range frequency. The said show talks mainly on Offline Business and Internet Marketing.

Based on recent ratings released by a controversial media research group, the show had the highest rating among its other nichemates. Since the show was aired to public, the two long-fighting networks’ Business shows’ ratings drastically went down, therefore forcing them to suspect Pinoy Money Talk of cheating the ratings. The two other networks filed a civil case against Pinoy Money Talk. Due investigation was done, and it ended up that the case hit back the two networks like a boomerang. Then poof, it became Coco Crunch.

Oooops, sorry for that. It really feels bad when you try to force your imagination to imagine! Pinoy Money Talk is actually a blog by Kuya James. I am making this post as an entry to his $75.00 SEO contest. Who knows, I may win this contest!

:D Enough of those poorly-structured sentences.

The text above is purely fiction. :D
