SIN CITY Comparisons: Comic to Movie

Wow. Mark and Budj! You got to see this.

It's a comparison between Sin City comic panels and the movie scenes. They're all picture perfect. Talk about storyboards.

Sin City is almost making me forget my craving for World of Warcraft Philippines! Too bad someone borrowed my Sin City Trade Paperback and never returned it. 

The World of Warcraft. Wow.

To visit The Great Hive of Silithus! Man, This is one of the the winners of the 7 Wonders of Azeroth contest. World of Warcraft Philippines is just around the corner. I just can feel it....

And to the World of Warcraft players, if you bump into my brother, Mango, give him my regards. I think he's walking Azeroth Yojimbo style.  

Remember the ending of Pulp Fiction?

"Dude, don't you live in Baclaran?"

I look at my friend quizically and answered really slowly, "Yes?".

I knew this was going somewhere. Everytime we hook up it's something. Weird but something.

"Look, it's Wednesday. Want to go to Church?", he says.

"Ummm... Church? At 3:17 am... Whatever you're having, give me some", I say.

"Dude, just trust me"; 'Trust Me' the two most infamous words that has put a lot of people into trouble.

Well, reluctantly I agreed.

So we went to Baclaran Church. At 3:17 am.

Guess what I saw?

The whole strip was full of girls! Girls everywhere. It was like I went into the biggest KTV Girlie Bar in the Philippines. I oggled. I was boggled. Some, I wish I googled. It was a plethora (I always wanted to use that word.) of babelicous babes. All of them trooping into Church, some coming out. It was really a sight to see. I was so overcome with surprise that I even forgot to pray for World Of Warcraft Philippines.

My friend had this 'I told you so' look. "Dang buddy, don't tell me you don't know about Wenchday (a thousand pardons to the offensive word, but that's what he really used)?", he told me matter of factly.

"Dude. Buddy. Friend. We should hookup every Wednesday morning.", I told him as we strolled into Dunkin Donuts where two svelte movie star looking chickababes were giving us the lookover.

Gossamer Commons

"Gossamer Commons is a webcomic written by Eric A. Burns and drawn by Greg Holkan. It appears Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It is about the magic you find in the mundane, the mundanity you find within magic, butterflies, jazz music, life, death, and the slacking in between.

Gossamer Commons takes place in Ithaca, New York and stars Keith Onzeker, an early twenties college dropout and writer looking for something...."

Go check it out.

iPod vs. The Cassette

"No Name No Slogan labs tests this years must-have device against one of the all time great audio formats..."

So you're thinking of getting an Ipod and now your thinking whether the investment is good enough. I mean, what's that portable discplayer doing, gathering dust in the shelf?

Well, to help you along, here's a comprehensive and objective comparison between an Ipod and a cassette tape.

That Movie Trailer Voice

Is this week, cool clips week?

Heck! This one has me laughing in stitches. And I just watched it for the fifth time!

Mark? Budjette? You're sure to dig this.

Boots of Escaping?

This one is for my bro.

I wonder if I'm two shakes away from becoming this person unless World Of Warcraft Philippines makes landfall.

Seriously, this is way funny.

Matisyahu

Matisyahu the Hasidic reggae singer, rapper and beat box really rocks! I mean, he really rocks big time. Really really recommended.

Really, really.

The Many Faces of Batman

Just one of a whole gaboodle of Batman art. This one just takes the cake for me.

1.5 MILLION World of Warcraft Subscribers

"...Blizzard Entertainment is now focused on preparing the game for launch in additional regions in Asia and firming up service support in existing data centers. World of Warcraft is scheduled to launch in China in 2005, where excitement for the game has already reached a fevered pitch, as evidenced by the 100,000 applications for the limited open beta in just the first hour of signups on February 28, 2005. Launches in Taiwan and other regions are scheduled to follow closely thereafter..."

I got my fingers crossed that World of Warcraft Philippines is just around the corner. Oh wait, World of Warcraft Philippines abbreviated is WoW Philippines...

Wow.

Wake up and smell the 21st Century

Divorce bill filed at House

"A BILL seeking to legalize divorce in the Philippines has been filed at the House of Representatives...She [Rep. Liza Maza] said that in Italy and Spain, two predominantly Catholic countries, there was a low rate of divorce...'We should uphold the separation of the Church and the State'...""

This is about time. Why we keep listening to the Church for State Governance is beyond me. Heck! They don't even pay taxes.

Revenge of the Sith Movie Poster

This poster I really like. It's old school Star Wars. Given the comments that this is the darkest of all the series, I hope that this brodges ep2 to ep4 seemlesly. 

The word for the day is ambiguous

In the background, a girl is crying to her boyfriend. Begging to be accepted back. Promising to do anything, be anything, say anything as long as he doesn't leave her. The guy simply says that it's over and that the love is gone.

Of course, it's just a local TV soap opera.

Well, my life seems to be one long soap. Conflict stacked upon conflict. Obstacle after obstacle. Problems pouring over problems. It's enough to drive anyone loony.

Come to think of it, I am loonyinsanecrazy.

I hardly talk about personal stuff. Honestly, I don't think anyone cares. And it's presumptious of me if I think that anyone would. Everyone has their own problems. I have this distinct feeling that I keep repeating this whenever I write anything about myself.

Deja vu all over again.

But that soap opera got me thinking. People do like peeking into other people's problems. It puts one's own problems relative to others. So how does my problems compare to others?

I'd say mine is light years away from anyone. Well, not really. I mean I didn't lose everything dear to me. I'm not in a life threatening crisis. I'm not even losing a dear pet to some dog delibitating disease. It's just that my problems have just bonded with depression.

Talk about throwing a molotov cocktail into a barrel of gasoline in a congested neigborhood on a dry arid day during a water shortage.

I'll get over this. I always do.

I think.

Free Cartoon Content

Cartoons by Fitz!

"If you’re looking for some fresh free content for your blog, my mini cartoons might be just the ticket. ..."

I'm a sucker for cartoons and this one is just too cool to ignore.

World of Warcraft in Taiwan

World of Warcraft is in Taiwan now... How long before we hear about World of Warcraft Philippines? So let's see, it's in Korea, China, and now Taiwan.

I can't wait for World of Warcraft to hit the Philippines. I just can't... 

BATMAN: NEW TIMES

Check out the Batman Short movie, BATMAN: NEW TIMES. Cool.

It stars Adam West, Mark Hamill, and Courtney Thorne Smith.

What more can I say?

Go.

Watch.

Starbucks Drinks Simplified

"Since many people seem to be overly confused by the wide variety of options available at Starbucks, I've put together this handy-dandy cheat sheet to help you figure out what you want without spending hours staring blankly at a menu. It's huge, but that's because there's a lot to choose from, and I've tried to include as much as possible....."

I didn't know there's so much choices. I always default to a grande americano or a grande cappuccino.

One time I tried the Vanilla Latte. It was a fine day for my body to decide to be lactose intolerant, which I usually am not.

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

This site has me all giddy with excitement. It has all the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. Starting from the first one (18 Nov 1985) as pictured above to the last one (31 Dec 1995).

Yellow Cab Pizza Phone and Menu

Click to Enlarge the Yellow Cab Pizza Menu

UPDATE: Got a post saying that Yellow Cab has a dedicated delivery phone number now. It's 789-9999. Although I hear it's not really that efficient and it's better off calling the Yellow Cab branches directly.

I keep getting hits from search engines looking up "Yellow Cab Pizza Philippines". It's so weird since I get it every few days or so. Here's a compilation of phone numbers of Yellow Cab Pizza branches.

Anyway, to help out, this is the link to all the Yellow Cab Pizza outlets in the Philippines. I remember trying to find the number of Yellow Cab Pizza in Macapagal Avenue.

Knock yourself out.

The menu above is the updated menu as of September 2008.

Additional 15 Feb 2009:
Just holler if there are new Yellow Cab branches since. Oh and to be clear, I'm not affiliated with Yellow Cab pizza. Haven't heard from them except for a very impersonal email sending me a copy of their menu. (Basically, it's an email saying my old menu is outdated and here's a copy of the new one. Not even a thanks for the effort).

French, Sex Addict

She got me at Dominique

This is probably inspired by Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. In it, there was a reference to Fox Force Five. A secret group of females that fought crime and each of the five girls had a specialization.

Of course, even in Fox Force Five, the French girl's specialty was sex.

Checking out the other members of D.E.B.S., Amy looks... ummm.... are you sure this is a PG-13 movie?

Anyway, the official movie site is already down, and probably this is one of the few sites that still has a pic of Dominique.

Paris Hilton Sidekick pictures and files

The site is in Spanish but the pictures are all about Paris.

Did you get the memo about the TPS reports?

Upside Down? More Inside Out

Ever had a day when everything just didn't go right. And I mean just one day.

I had, bar none, the most unluckiest day of my life. That was 21 February 2005. Without going into details, on February 21, I

01. Got my internet connection disconnected due to unpaid bills
02. Hit the car of the big big boss' son.
03. Had to turn in company car pending my driving evaluation
04. Only had 100 in my wallet (that's pesos; around US$2)
05. Busted my cellphone without cash to repair it (see no. 4)
06. Have no money to pay Lulu's tuition, still don't.
07. Money coming in all for paying past debts
08. Printer is busted
09. Screwed up a big project without hopes of saving it
10. Found out that Accounting will deduct me for something that shouldn't be. Have only a few days to rectify it before pay day.
10. Ulcer started acting up. (This was BEFORE all of this happened)
11. Big Boss casually tells me that the way I drive, I could get fired. This was before the hitting of the car.

And up to now, I still haven't recovered. Without my friends and love ones around, I'd probably collapse and just implode faster than a snowman during the hottest day in the Sahara Desert. I mean all of this in ONE day.

A MONDAY off all days.

Mondays should be deemed illegal.

Oh and based on the comments below, only 5 people regularly visit my site.
