This Is It[post-movie analysis]

Only 2 words would sum up my Michael Jackson description in this movie. Sheer Genius!

One instance of his sheer genius was when he was about to signal the start of Smooth Criminal. He was sayin' that he was gonna give the cue so the musicians would know when the music would start. But the director was pointin' out that they would start when a certain shot was shown on the big screen and MJ was not facin' it so the director asked, "Michael, how would you know when the start would be? You're not seein' the screen."

Michael answered just like a genius should answer. "I would just feel it." Or somethin' to that effect.

Overall, This Is It was a good documentary. I'm actually givin' it a B+ or even A[because I'm a biased Michael Jackson fan]. I really got my money's worth watchin' this film.

The only flaw[if I would call it a flaw] was that they didn't warn the audience that the film was about to end. Like for example, I didn't have a clue that it was already their last night rehearsing. Or that it was 12 hrs before Jackson died. If I hadn't read an article about that, I wouldn't know. Good for me I'm the informed type.

Rakista[lympics]

I came home kinda drunk from Shaw Blvd last Friday due to the fabled Rakistalympics. I was supposed to play, or at least watch the game from the sidelines. But I ended up drinkin' with Zep and friends.

I came in with Allan, and I saw a lot of old faces there. These are the following faces that I saw[or remembered]: Ridz, Ehmz, Charles, Dong, Neil[both], Nixon, Shad, "kulet"[I forgot his name], Andren, Ichie, Dix, Melody, Les, Jam, Metoolow, Jane, Jing, and many more[I remember faces, but names, not too much].

I also had new drinkin' buddies too last Friday like Kay[who paid for the drinks and the food, thanks to her], Jay, Alcoholic[I forgot whatzis name], Yummy Dingding[yep, that's her real name], Andern[who had a shot or 2], Bong. Some mainstays were also there who I've drunk with before like the 2 Neils, and somebody else, I forgot his name.

Well anyway, it was nice drinkin' with Zep again. It's been ages since I've drank some liquor with the dude. We had a lot of catching up, and I also had a blast because I actually found out that Yummy's real name was really Yummy fuckin' Dingding! Now what the fuck is up with that shit?!

Inglorious Basterds[post-movie analysis]

This latest work by Quentin Tarantino deserves a mention here due to the fact that I like the German scalping! Truly hardcore! Wish the story were true though.

Once again, Brad Pitt has given us one of his finest performances to date. I just love Lt. Aldo Rain's Tennessee[did I spell that right? Too lazy to google it up] accent. And I just love how he winces his face when Col. Landa[a GErman SS] suspiciously questions Diane Kruger's cast. Oscar material!

As usual, it was one of Tarantino's gory and bloody films! We were wincing when the Jewish-American Nazi slayers were scalping the heads of caught Nazi officers. Very hardcore indeed! Plus The Bear Jew's battering of the NAzi's head using a baseball bat gives a sudden rush!

Plus, Melanie Laurent[who played Shosanna Dreyfus a.k.a. Emmanuelle(did I fuckin' spell that right too?!) Mimieux] is a new crush of mine. I just love the French since high school I reckon. I actually like her more than Diane Kruger. So hot[w/those li'l lovely boobs]!

All in all. Inglorious Basterds is a winner! And that's an understatement ladies and gents...

The SSS Riddle

There's just one thing that I hate about government institutions like the SSS and Pag-Ibig[some housing loan bullshit]. It is the fact that they have our money and we still have to loan our own money from them!

I really don't get it. I mean why the fuck do we have to loan our very own money?! Money that is deducted from our salary every month! Very unreal! And unfair to say the least!

Sorry if I tend to use exclamation points, but I just want to prove my point here. It is OUR money for fuck's sake!!!

Pepeng

All this time, I thought Typhoon Pepang was just an overrated dumbfuck. I didn't feel any of its effects so I thought that it was all hype.

But that was 'till yesterday, when I managed to watch the news. I didn't know the typhoon wreaked so much havoc in the northern part of this island to the point of the government[Dept. of Agriculture] scratching their heads and thinkin' about the next harvest. Indeed, typhoons are worse than locusts!

The Great Flood of '09

Last Saturday was the Great Flood of '09. I've been livin' in Cainta for like 23 years or somethin', but this was the only time that this has happened!

I could only laugh everytime I felt like cryin' because a lot of our stuff was ruined! The only stuff that we managed to salvage were the 2 PCs and monitors plus the smaller television. Our big livin' room TV, together with our ref was submerged!

My important scool stuff was also underwater, and the livin' room looked eeriely liked the Titanic when it was fillin' up with seawater. Our furniture was mostly wooden, so it floated. Hence, the Titanic effect.

All I could say is, thank you God for this tradegy. I'm definitely gonna level up from this experience. I guess you sometimes just have to take the good and the bad with the ugly. and all this is really ugly, and disgusting! Now that I've felt God's wrath, I am complete.

UFC 103[post-fight analysis]

A very initially underwhelming card turned out to be a great night[well it was day here] of fights!

Tyson Griffin shut every critics' mouth up by stopping Hermes Franca on the feet. We all thought that it would be another boring decision.

Now for the Koscheck-Trigg fight, I relied on Trigg's old schoolness too much. Indeed, Koscheck is Trigg version 2.0

The Brit Paul "Semtex" daley actually surprised me. I was dissin' this guy, always tellin' that he was overrated and stuff, then now he knocks out Kampmann with ease. I was liuterallt shut up!

For the co-main event, it's all clear that Cro Cop's done! All he did was shove Junior Dos Santos away. Now that's not the way to win against a hungry up and comer.

Finally, Vitor Belfort really looked impressive. He seems to be finding his rhythm during his last few fights and looks like The Phenom of old.

Right from the start, I knew Rich Franklin was gonna be murdered. And murdered he was. Hopefully we're looking at another potential Anderson Silva challenger. And a legit one at that!

Number One/Numero uno[post-fight analysis]

Money looked like he was "on the money" everytime he landed one of those stiff jabs and straights of his. Marquez is a monster, but he became just an imaginary monster. Mayweather just outright outclassed him right from the get-go!

Next thing for Mayweather is the Pacman superfight. There would be no sense in him facing Mosley in the ring because Shane's too old man! Face Pac-Man in his prime to determine who the #1 Pound-for-Pound fighter is!
