Uncategorized I really like Japanese Horror Films, mostly because they:
1. do not follow Hollywood formula
2. have unpredictable storylines
3. have simple dialogue
4. use stilted exaggerated acting that STILL works
5. retain slow creepy cinematic ghost images
Reincarnation was no exception. I happen to chance upon it on ChillerTV last night and didn’t finish the film because it got too creepy watching it by myself. I did, however, record the whole movie and watched it again before lunch. (LOL) Reincarnation is a cross between The Shining, and Ring 0, making use of the killing spree concept inside a hotel + a play/movie which the protagonist involved in.
I watched a few more scary shows (The Haunting episodes) after that, which led me to making a list of My Personal Top 8 Personal Horror Flicks of all Time.
***The Number next to the Movie is the Number of Restless Nights after watching the movie (or nights I didn’t turn off the light until morning)
1. The Ring (Japanese Ringu 0,1,2) – 7
2. The Grudge (Japanese Juon)- 5
3. The Exorcist – 5
4. The Omen – 5
5. The Gate - Sure, its a B movie but watching it as a kid sure creeped me out for 3 days!
6. The Sixth Sense – 3
7. The Shining – 3
8. Nightmare on Elm Street 3 – 2 – The part where Freddy became a puppet master still haunts me. “One Two Freddys Coming For you…”
HORRORABLE MENTIONS:
The Blob – 1
Event Horizon – 1
Night of the Living Dead – 2
BlairWitch Project – 2
*Blairwitch got so much hype, as it was marketed to be a “true story” sort of documentary. However I watched it at the college theater and went home to an empty dormroom (my room mate was out for the night) which led me to dream about a person facing a corner in the far wall of the dark room

Uncategorized People who INSIST to have Tagalog jokes translated WILL NOT get it completely. 
Mga Ginintuang Butil
Hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan ang mga mumunti ngunit ginintuang butil na payo na nakuha ko sa aking mga magulang.
1. Si Inay, tinuruan niya ako HOW TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE :
“Kung kayong dalawa ay magpapatayan, doon kayo sa labas! Mga leche kayo, kalilinis ko lang ng bahay.”
2. Natuto ako ng RELIGION kay Inay:
“Kapag yang mantsa di natanggal sa carpet, magdasal ka na!”
3.Kay Inay ako natuto ng LOGIC :
“Kaya ganyan, dahil sinabi ko.”
4. At kay Inay pa rin ako natuto ng MORE LOGIC:
“Pag ikaw nalaglag diyan sa bubong, ako lang mag-isa ang manonood ng sine.”
5. Si Inay din ang nagturo sa akin kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng IRONY:
“Sige ngumalngal ka pa at bibigyan talaga kita ng iiyakan mo!”
6. Si Inay ang nagpaliwanag sa akin kung ano ang CONTORTIONISM:
“Tingnan mo nga yang dumi sa likod ng leeg mo, tingnan mo!!!”
7. Si Itay ang nagpaliwanag sa a! kin kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng STAMINA:
“Wag kang tatayo diyan hangga’t di mo nauubos lahat ng pagkain mo!”
8. At si Inay ang nagturo sa amin kung ano ang WEATHER:
“Lintek talaga kayo, ano ba itong kuwarto nyong magkapatid, parang dinaanan ng bagyo!”
9. Ganito ang paliwanag sa akin n! i Inay tungkol sa CIRCLE OF LIFE:
“Malandi kang bata ka, iniluwal kita sa mundong ito, maari rin kitang alisin sa mundong ito.”
10. Kay Itay ako natuto kung ano ang BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION:
“! Tumigil ka nga diyan! Huwag kang umarte na parang Nanay mo!”
11. Si Inay naman ang nagturo kung anong ibig sabihin ng GENETICS:
“Nagmana ka nga talaga sa ama mong walanghiya!”
12. Si Inay naman ang nagpaliwanag sa amin kung anong ibig sabihin ng ENVY :
“Maraming mga batang ulila sa magulang. Di ba kayo nagpapasalamat at mayroon kayong magulang na tulad namin?”
13. Si Itay naman ang nagturo sa akin ng ANTICIPATION :
“Sige kang bata ka, hintayin mong makarating tayo sa bahay!”
14. At si Itay pa rin ang nagturo kay Kuya kung anong ibig sabihin ng RECEIVING:
“Uupakan kita pagdating natin sa bahay!”
15. At si Itay pa rin ang nagturo kay Kuya kung anong ibig sabihin ng DETERMINATION:
“Hanapin mo yung pinahahanap ko sa ! iyo, pag di mo nahanap, makikita mo!”
16. Si Inay naman ang nagturo sa akin kung ano ang HUMOR:
“Kapag naputol yang mga paa mo ng pinaglalaruan mong lawnmower, wag na wag kang tatakbo sa akin at lulumpuhin kita!”
17. At ang pinakamahalaga sa lahat, natutunan ko kina Inay at Itay kung ano ang JUSTICE :
“Balang araw magkakaroon ka rin ng anak…tiyak magiging katulad mo at magiging sakit din sa ulo!”

Uncategorized So because I’ve been so preoccupied (or lazy, whichever works for ya) with real life matters (and twittering and facebooking too much about it), I’ve missed writing about how :
1. Adam Lambert did not get his AI beauty crown (The cute one, the dark horse Kris Allen did). He has then since come out in public (Like, duh! You didnt know?)
2. I have moved to SoCal for true love. In fact, Mark and I have tied the knot , had 2 parties thrown for us by our families.
3. We found a great apartment nearer his workplace. Major deal! We are planning to adopt a cat (or a dog, whichever we fall in love with first)
4. I have flown several states to be with my family in Wisconsin, because my sister is graduating from her med residency. Woot!
and because this normally happens that I tend to enumerate things and events when they get to be so lengthy… I have decided to give my blog a makeover. From now on, I will write using only lists to show whats on my mind. Mayhaps it will cut down on my blabber and actually be of some use to some people.
Toodles!
