The Bourne Legacy & Feast of the Black Nazarene?
Check out the new teaser poster for the upcoming film The Bourne Legacy that stars Jeremy Renner, Edward Norton, & Rachel Weisz. The teaser posters first appeared at The Daily Blam and PerezHilton, both of which may not be 100% purveyors of truth and accuracy, but still quite interesting nonetheless.

Memories of Ghost Protocol, iPhone 4S, Typhoon Sendong, and the Mission Impossible between Globe & Smart
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 4 GHOST PROTOCOL

To put it in a nutshell, Ghost Protocol is all about a crazy scientist who wanted to relive the Cold War through a nuclear attack, which, in his own twisted beliefs, is necessary to make the world uber-great again. Now, take it from me when I say Ghost Protocol is a must-see movie for 2011 (too bad it’s already 2012), but if I were to rank it in descending order with respect to entertainment, pure-adrenaline, and, more importantly, my own preference, the best Tom Cruise-led IMF instalments are: Mission: Impossible 1, Mission: Impossible 3, and Mission: Impossible 4. I hear there’s supposed to be another one with that “Chimera Virus” in it but I think it was too boring that even John Woo would quickly cross-out that film as a mistake. Read more…
Manilax.me Video Cam Chatroulette
I got bored before the clock struck midgnight for 2012. Upon checking that my dedicated server for Finisher.me is not yet fully utilized, I decided to install some other scripts in other domain names I purchased in recent months just for the fun of it. Anyhoo, in less than 2 hours, I give you Manilax.me: the eXclusive Video Cam Chat Roulette Party for Metro Manila Residents of the Philippines!
If you wanna check it out, just click here: http://www.manilax.me/
If you’re still not familiar with the Chatroulette system, you might wanna visit the original website and this Mashable post about the attack of the clones. I decided to make a Chatroulette clone because of the availability of the script and the fact that I see an absence of a local copycat this side of the Internet.
Anyhoo, have fun. I’ve been a Chatroulette addict since 2010. God knows the crazy things those people from Europe and USA have done on cam and they haven’t even stripped naked yet! If you find it unbelievable, you greenminded you, check this out. Hope you notice the flag of the Philippines!
2011 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 20,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 7 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Out with the old, and in with the new running shoes for 2012. Goodbye, Newtons. You’ve served me well. I can remember that happy day when I won this pair of expensive Newton Running Shoes from Runnr through Jam 88.3 FM. The ubercheapskate me felt like winning the lottery. Te-hee. Anyhoo, now that I have my new NB shoes and some other running gear out of my own pocket, maybe I can take my running addiction to a whole new level. After more than 5 years of joining runnning events, I think I deserve spending a portion of my bonus for my own personal happiness.
P.S. Hindi talaga ako mahilig sa neon. Nagkataon lang. *rotfl*

I remember the first time I saw an FPJ film as a kid. Although I barely understood the plot and cannot recall the title of the film without making use of Google, I just knew that FPJ, who portrayed a Muslim, was the good guy and everyone with facial hair had to die. It was a very Manichean film: black was black and white was white. Even with the innocent mind I had back then, there was no question that FPJ was the kind of guy my dad wanted me to become: macho, and, somewhat, gun-slinging. Hence, all the Armalite toys as a kid. Now, I won’t comment on what happened from then on until the very moment I’m writing this post with the use of my Blackberry while trying to fall asleep.

The Lion King 3D boasts of revitalized graphics and all that jazz that should and would undoubtedly please your visual organs. Unfortunately, the guys from Walt Disney seemed to have missed the point. 3D is good, but what people missed most is the soundtrack.
