TDK, the photo op, and a pic spam (0 Comments)
Mac and I watched The Dark Knight last week. We decided to watch at a later time when everyone else has watched it already, so there wouldn’t be much people in the theater anymore. We thought wrong! XP There were still a lot and most of them are effin’ noisy. Some were even talking out loud during the movie about what was going to happen next. How annoying! That’s one of the reasons why I dislike watching movies in theaters. A lot of movie-goes lack common sense. Geez~ Movie-wise, HEATH LEDGER gave life to that movie. Christian Bale at some point too, of course. (He also gave me an orgasm. *roflmao*) But, seriously, the rest of the movie is all about THE JOKER. Heath Ledger’s parting is such a great loss. -_-On July 28 was my brother’s birthday. ^_^ We had dinner at Haiku and dessert at Cafe Breton.

Tarantino takes pedicab (1 Comment)
*lol at this news*
Tarantino takes pedicab in Manila floods
MANILA, Philippines – Quentin Tarantino was forced to hop into a pedicab to escape gridlock on flooded Manila streets Wednesday as he made his way to the presidential palace to receive a film award.
Tarantino’s limousine had been stuck in traffic for about 2 1/2 hours on a bridge close to Malacanang palace when Filipino filmmaker Amable “Tikoy” Aguiluz suggested they take separate pedicabs (cycle rickshaws).
About 15 minutes later, they reached a street corner near the palace gates where a car picked them up, Tarantino said.
“It was a lot of fun. It’s the way it is, I guess. … It was wild,” he told reporters. “No worries. I’ve done more serious things than that.”
Tarantino was 40 minutes late for the ceremony but 30 minutes ahead of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Pounding rain from Typhoon Sepat flooded parts of metropolitan Manila, prompting authorities to suspend classes, briefly stopping a commuter train and slowing Arroyo’s convoy.
Tarantino, director of “Pulp Fiction” and the “Kill Bill” movies, wore a traditional Filipino formal shirt and sandals.
He was handed size-13 black leather shoes because sandals and rubber shoes aren’t allowed inside the palace during presidential ceremonies, said a staff member of the National Commission on Culture and Arts.
Tarantino, 44, was among three Lifetime Achievement award winners in the 9th Cinemanila, a film festival featuring foreign and local movies.
He is writing a book about Philippine films, particularly the horror and action movies he saw in his youth. -Y! News
It was probably a funny and exciting experience for him. Like my first time riding a boat on Pasig River. *lol* The pedicab driver would have been elated if he knew Tarantino. Well, if he knew him then he’s lucky. :DDD
Here’s another picture ^_^ :
And other pictures of typhoon Sepat:

There are no classes today again even though the weather’s kind of looking good. Time for quizzes then will probably upload more pics in my Multiply account or make a layout for it. ^_^

It rained then it stopped (0 Comments)
I’m late in announcing this. Quentin Tarantino is in the Philippines for the 9th Cinemanila International Film Festival. He was given a lifetime achievement award. He gave a seminar last August 11 which I thought was on the 14th. XP Darnit. I even put it in my Google Calendar. Lesson learned: not to check Google Calendar when you’re very sleepy still.
I so want this:
Motorola RAZR2
Motorola RAZR2 is sleek and its features are just awesome. I am curious about the touch screen on the front. The selling price now is quite too much for me. I’ll wait until it gets cheaper.
All school levels are suspended today like last week’s.
I knew this was going to happen. *lol* The rain poured down hard, it was hardly windy, and cockroaches crawled to houses’ outer walls since it’s already flooded outside. ^^; Here’s one picture I took earlier (more here):
