Diva 2 Diva Concert

My tita Gem treated us (me, my mom, my sister dianne, my cousin ate Jo and her mom tita Julieta) to Kuh Ledesma and Zsazsa Padilla's Diva 2 Diva concert at the Mandarin Hotel last August 20th. The ticket was at 1000 pesos each but it was worth it. Kuh and Zsazsa are very good singers and they know how to entertain their audience not only with their singing but also with their obvious camraderie.

Here are some pics:

Bewitched

Watched the movie Bewitched yesterday with Dianne and Vince. It was surprisingly very entertaining. I was expecting it to be a bit like Stepford Wives, another movie of Nicole Kidman, which I did enjoyed but was not as funny as Bewitched.

OT: We're going to Apo (my maternal grandmother) this Sunday because it's her birthday on the 25th and because I was invited to be a ninang of my mom's kumare's granddaughter. Got that?! Hehehe. Hopefully, my tita and my cousins from Batangas will be going with us. It has been a long time since I saw Kuya Dondel, hope he'll be able to come with us.

Bday Gimiks

July 30

Me and my highschool friends, with their boyfriends, ate dinner at the Marina located at Tomas Morato. Abi was there with King, her boyfriend, Get was with Ryan, and Carl was also with us. After the dinner, we drove along Tomas Morato and Timog Avenue wondering if Chico's and Gigolo is worth the fear of being raided! Hehehe. Di kasi namin alam kung nira-raid ung mga lugar na yun at saka kung magkano entrance eh! Anyway, we decided to go to Metro Comedy Bar, formerly Kampo at West Ave., instead. Vice Ganda was very funny along with the other gay performers.Ethel Booba was a disappointment. She wasn't even slightly funny. I'll post some pics here as soon as I get copies from Carl and King.

Rivermaya performed at Ratsky Tomas Morato. I went there together with Dianne and 2 of her classmates, Honey and Dar. Below are some pics.

War of the Worlds

I am not sure why but I don't want to watch this movie. I read mixed reviews about it, loopholes in the storyline and good CGIs, but I also read mixed reviews about Mr. and Mrs. Smith and yet I was very excited to watch that film.

I was thinking that I may have been biased against the movie because of Tom Cruise. Lately, I think he's being a big JERK. What with his OA declaration of love to Katie Holmes (I was considering buying a freekatie shirt ... hehehe) and his bashing of Brooke Shields. I liked the Minority Report movie, which if I'm not mistaken is also a collaboration by Cruise and Spielberg, but then I didn't dislike Tom then. hehehe.

Batman Begins

Maganda ung movie pero sa tingin ko it could
have been better. Lalo na ung mga fight scenes.
masyadong magalaw ung camera. Isip ko baka ang gusto
nilang idea is yung viewers maramdaman talaga na andun
sila sa scene at nakikita nila 1st hand ung action.
Kaso ang nangyari, as a viewer, di mo mashado makita
kung ano nangyayari kasi nga ang galaw nung camera. At
saka me mga times na mejo dragging ung pacing ng story.
Kumbaga, for an action film, sana hindi sila
masyadong nag-dwell sa mga drama sa buhay. Puwede naman
ipakita ung depth ng characters without the characters
making monologues. Para tuloy Revenge of the Sith ang
naging dating. Pero mas nagustuhan ko itong movie na ito
kaysa Revenge of the Sith.

Pero oks ung trailer ng Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
na pinakita ha. Medyo bitin pero maganda. Tsaka oks din ung
trailer nung Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Ang kulit
talaga ni Johnny Depp!

Magpapalit na naman ako ng
wallpaper. Lipat muna ako kay Johnny Depp.
Ngayon kasi si Brad Pitt wallpaper ko eh.
