Watchmen: The Movie

Lucky, it’s still in theater so I was able to catch it last Saturday. It’s a very long movie about three hours but being a comicbook geek, I think its worth the time lols, ofcourse I enjoyed watching.

One of the best selling Graphic Novels of all time, the only Graphic Novel ever to win a Hugo Award and the only Graphic Novel to be listed as one of the 100 best English-language novels of all time by Time Magazine.

The WATCHMEN is a twelve-issue comic book limited series written by Alan Moore (Swamp Thing, League of Extra-Ordinary Gentlemen, V for Vendetta), illustrated by Dave Gibbons (Doctor Who) and published by DC Comics.

Set in 1985, in an alternate history of the United States where costumed superheroes are real and are part of everyday society and the nation is on the verge to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, as the Doomsday Clock keep ticking to midnight - the race of time is on.

The story introduces a new perspective of taking away the idea of the conventional superheroes archetype. It tells of superheroes; as real people who are vulnerable to pain, their struggle to confront ethical and personal issues, and their failures.

This group of masked vigilantes are still in theaters, so catch them if you can;), directed by Zack Snyder (“300”), from a screenplay of David Hayter and Alex Tse, a presentation of Warner Bros Pictures and Paramount Pictures.

Weekend with a Bunny

I was on my way home from Binondo last Saturday afternoon for my weekly Pilipit (Yum yum, I am craving for this one) shopping at Eng Bee Tin when I decided to drop by at SM Manila.


I’m supposed to visit National Book Store for any interesting books and perhaps for a cup of mocha frap at Starbucks but when I have re-surfaced from Lagusnilad underpass I found a commotion nearby. I stalked!

And I realized that the center of attraction was the cute bunnies in white - FOR SALE. It’s a 30-day old bunnies and cost Php150 each, its cuteness is very inviting that I immediately disregarded the thought about the books and the mocha frap.

I bought one and excitedly headed home with a box of bunny and a bag full of Pilipit. I spent my weekend playing and cuddling with my new pet - a bunny.

Green Thumb

We were scouting for our possible supplier at Divisoria a month’s back when we found a woman selling a fortune plants. The prices are way cheaper than that of the mall; three pots for a hundred that contained four plants each. And that if you compare it to the mall value each plant would cost you more than a hundred. So Joan and I decided to buy the combo, she have taken the two pots and I took the remaining one.


She brought one of the pots in the office (Joan is my office mate by the way) and now its dying ha-ha. A pot that used to have four plants is now down to one and half of the stem has already died toinks.

While my plants is now sprouting some roots and it’s ever glowing by the day as if saying hi to me when I wake up in the morning or every time I’m home.

I remember when I was in grade school my mom used to convince me to plant a banana tree (is it a tree? Uh whatever!), and I did. It turned out to be a very healthy one and that when the time comes that it bores a fruit, passersby from every corner of the world (lols) won’t missed to have a look at it and exclaimed, WOW. I swear it’s true, seriously!

So I am thinking of spending my idle time, tree planting perhaps on that barren mountain caused by kaingin system, mother earth would love me for sure, now that we are dealing with climate change. Uh come on don’t give me that grin, I’m dead serious I want to make a good example to our environment you know wakokok.

Do you think it’s a good advocacy?
