mga inaamag na kaganapan: august 15 TRIVIAS
1. i developed this admiration for ellen degeneres for the past 2 or 3 weeks and for more than a week now I would either watch her show in
2nd avenue or clips of it in her website or in youtube. She’s really really witty. :)
2. officially last week, I became a fan of Justin timberlake. This happened after a) remembering his punk’d experience where he was really cool even under great pressure; and

b) watching 2 videos of him—one in ellen dancing while dressed as a gingerbread man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwDw0xQbxW8 warning: he’s really cute and charming here.) and another where he sings and dances with michael jackson moves. (http://www.youtube.com/watch v=0tpJDBhQgNo&mode=related&search=) he's one greeeeeeeeeeat performer.
3. i am proud to say that I didn’t take a bath yesterday (aug.14). I actually intended to do so yet the cold weather and my obsession over finishing angels & demons did not permit me.
4. another pride: more than 2 weeks ago i was successful in baking banana bread which everybody said was delicious. Too bad there weren’t any walnuts around.
5. not too much of a pride: oatmeal cookies
good news: yes, I was able to bake oatmeal cookies about 3 weeks ago
bad news: I overbaked most of the cookies, leaving them hard or, more specifically, galletas-like. The cookies tasted like cookies but nobody could have guessed they came from the oatmeal family before I said so and even after telling them— or rather claiming that they are indeed oatmeal cookies, they refused to believe me.

lesson learned: add more oatmeal, cinnamon/vanilla.
6 & 7. movies i watched recently:
sukob
i have to say it’s really good—very scary that I’m surprised it never visited me in my dreams. it’s really good that when a bell eerily rang as montsy and I stepped out into eastwood’s piazza, we stared at each other in horror! :) lucky for us it turned out to be a bell used in a construction
site in one of the pre-selling condos around (we had to ask the guard nearby what it was, or rather if it came from this dimension). it’s really good that only kris aquino stood out—stood out like a sore thumb. okay, okay, even wendell ramos shouldn’t have joined the list of impressive actors. apparently, years of being a mainstay in bubble gang did not serve his acting career well. but it probably gave him the fat checks which paid for his large abs and God-knows-what-other-muscles-in-his-body-ballooned. okay, i’ll give him a break. this was probably his second or third movie. he agreed to be in the movie because probably a) he was initially informed that sukob was a comedy movie about a bride-to-be (played by kris aquino) who calls off her wedding upon realizing that her game shows and ridiculous gowns mean the world to her; b) he assumed that kris would finally give up acting in movies which required her to scream, cry or make dramatic scenes—highlighting her incompetence in this area of showbiz.
click
i anticipated that upon stepping out of the movie house, I’ll be having this comedy-movie hangover—smiling contentedly while some of the funny scenes still run in my head. I even expected that 50 First Dates would have a better hangover. Yet before the last minutes of it, I
realized that Click can be life changing, even more powerful than the film Bruce Almighty or 13 Going on 30. What made everything even better is the fact that nobody among the movie watchers was warned of the great impact the movie could have. anyone who has seen adam sandler’s previous movies would expect this film to be light, funny and sometimes hilarious, but that is it. But apart from being funny and at times deadly hilarious, it has the power to stir one’s lachrymal glands and move one to reexamine his decisions and lifestyle. I can never think of a better way of presenting the movie. While some scenes may be very dramatic, they made it a point to lighten things up by bringing out michael’s 
(adam sandler’s character) funny/foolish side. If society had movie doctors, they would highly recommend it to zombies who know nothing more than their work life.
so far, 3 out of 3 people whom I know who have watched click agreed that indeed it’s a must-watch movie. ate olive, monts and I can’t help but gush over its greatness. this time I’m not surprised to find it landing on my TOP 10 FAVORITE MOVIES. :)

hehehe... i haven't seen click but everyone says its nice. ayoko tuloy manood kasi baka masira yung appeal.
i read yesterday that as of a few days ago, sukob is officially the highest grossing filipino movie ever. ever. ever. hahaha...
i must admit watching ellen has become a guilty pleasure for the best of us. and much as i hate to admit it, i did spend an hour yesterday downloading JT's leaked album.
take care! :D
