Burger

Buena Bonita burgers creep me out.

Don't get me wrong, I had eaten their burgers a couple of months ago at the gilmore LRT2 station and they were delicious (then again, I was stark raving hungry that time though). Plus, the aroma when they cook the burgers just makes me drool... Mmmm...

What creeps me out is the price. 22 pesos for 2 burgers (Buy 1 take 1). That's pretty darn cheap. It really makes me wonder if there's a catch somewhere... Those ARE still beef patties right? o.O;;

Sorry, nothing much to talk about aside from the 448php haircut which most of you already know about. Damn sneaky barbershop! X_X

The Day Jet Li Almost Died Twice (in movies)

At last, after weeks of anticipation, I finally got to watch Fearless. This post contains major spoilers in the plot so I advice anyone who hasn't watched it to stop reading if they do not wish to know the said spoilers. But then again, there wasn't much of a plot anyway... Just punches and kicks!

The movie started out great. At the beginning, there were some chinese text to briefly explain the historical background of the movie (which was lacking subtitles, so a rough translation of it probably was.. Jet Li kicks ass). Then after that, BAKBAKAN agad! Out of nowhere, BAM! Everybody started fighting.. There were already 3 different fights barely 15 minutes into the film. I thought, man, this is going to be a great movie. Then disappointment.

Jet Li was a really bad guy in this movie (for the 1st half of the movie anyway). I want an ordinary movie with a stereotypical hero who beats the crap out of goons and thugs. Damnit, Jet Li should be a good guy! He had a change of heart at the 2nd half of the movie though. But still, I can't imagine Wong Fei Hung being a bad guy ><

Which brings me to my second rant... the transition from evil-li to good-li takes place in a farm. There's like 20 minutes of farming scenes in it. BORING! If I was the director of the flick, the village will be attacked by bears, then Jet li fights em barehanded (while the bears fight Jet Li bearhanded). Ah puns. Sorry =P

Lastly, he dies in the end. I was like, WTF?!? Kabo said it was predictable. But damn, this guy punches holes on concrete walls! How CAN he die?!? By one of the lamest way possible, Poison. You would think these kungfu masters have learned their lesson already. I mean 80% of kungfu masters had been poisoned.. It's one of the staples of kungfu flick: The really strong and unbeatable master dies by poison. But do they bring their own darn bottled water to fights? Nope! House tea lang palagi. ><;;

But still, all in all, it was a great movie. It's not a typical brainless fight flick. There's some pretty ummm "profound" moments in there including a conversation on the similarities of tea drinking and life or whatever. It has a half decent plot, although not entirely unique. I give it a 9/10.

So there. Jet Li dies in Fearless. (Death #1)

When I got back home, I watched a movie I downloaded, Fist of Legend. This is another Jet Li flick. (Yes, I'm bored). He needs to redeem himself by kicking more asses. Then as the movie nears the end, bang! They kill Jet Li again! Nooooooo......... Everything is going horribly wrong for the kungfu master today. But good thing his death was fake and was used to deceive the Japanese. Hurray! He survives. So there. It's now nearly 3am and I'm off to sleep.

You Killed My Master, You Bastard!

A couple of days ago, I was having my usually afternoon merienda in Jollibee. So there I was, munching on my regular yum, and watching a kiddie party. All's going well when suddenly, they played the song by Bone Thugs and Harmony "Crossroads".

A little note to the organizers, better song selection please. Crossroads is a song dedicated to a dead member of Bone Thugs, thus the line "see you at the crossroads, so you won't be lonely". It's a pretty morbid song and definitely not suited for 6 year old birthday parties.

Nothing much has been going on recently. We weren't able to watch fearless last weekend so I downloaded a classic old school kungfu flick to quench my craving for some serious-ass-kicking, devoid-of-plot movies. I watched "Iron Monkey". Man, these kinds of flicks are the best. No cheesy bullet times, no stupid special effects. Just pure skill. There's nothing deep or profound about this movies, no underlying concept of existensialism or anything, but who cares? More flying kicks please! Here's a few screenshots on how cool this movie is:


a 10 year old kid splits and holds a bamboo staff, Keanu reeves can't eve kick higher than his hips.. ><;;


Fighting on bamboo poles, not just lamely posing on them (Karate Kid ><)


No-Shadow Kick si freakin cool.

Carrots

Contrary to popular (or not so popular) beliefs, I am not a vegetable hater. Hey, I love my veggies just like any average health concious person would. It's just that there are some of them that i hate, the first ones that come into mind are carrots *yech*.

I never liked carrots. I threw up after eating one when I was a kid. Since then, I've been eating other more delectable vegetable dishes (Bicol express... Mmm...) What makes me wonder is, of all the kinds of veggies out there, why is it that only carrots have been turned into a variety of other products. There's carrot cake (which my relatives usually order for the sheer sake of making fun of me), and carrot juice. I mean, why only carrots? It isn't sweet or anything. Why not a broccoli cake? Or cauliflower muffins? Nope, it has to be the vegetable i hate the most, carrots.

Pfft... The universe is out to get me.
