Burnout and whatnot

Alex @ April 28, 2007 | | Personal | Comments (8)

This is not the first time I’ve been burnt out. I don’t know how many times I’ve been but am sure that I’m experiencing one. Yet again.

It’s pretty tough to really handle the things I have to deal with recently. Our mom’s not doing too good. She’s been having all sorts of fits at night recently that we find it hard to get some sleep. We spend hours tending to her and by the time she finally gets to rest, it’s already the new day and the day’s work ahead of us. Tough. But sacrifices just have to be made.

And after showing his ‘nads in Equus

Am no Harry Potter fan. But since this guy just showed his gonads on stage and he’ll still be Harry Potter, you’ll wonder where he uses his wand and broomstick when no one’s looking. Anyway, here’s the newly released Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix poster.

Blogging hiatus my arse, just been busy

Alex @ April 23, 2007 | | Politics and Society | Comments (9)

I remember promising myself to update this blog at least once a day. Well, I think I’ll be breaking that promise.

The summer heat is unbearable. And with a house that doesn’t have airconditioning, it’s a bummer. I’ve split my PC use for early mornings and late afternoons in fear of my rig overheating again. Face it, global warming is real. (Yeah, so is Manbearpig!)

Being a Pacino fan, I’m waiting for Ocean’s Thirteen

Alex @ April 19, 2007 | | Entertainment | Comments (3)

I’m a fan of a lot of things. I waited for 300 for a whole darn year (after it got the studio green light) being a Frank Miller fan. I can’t wait for Sin City 2. Having Jessica Alba there too doubles my anticipation. (Oh yeah and I still think watching Into the Blue’s worth the time and money just for staring at Jessica Alba in bikinis.)

And I’m an Al Pacino fan (no, unlike my raves for Jessica Alba, I don’t want to see him in a bikini). I really like his acting. Scarface and The Godfather made me want to be a gangster. He was the bomb in a whole lot of films. The moment I heard he was cast for Ocean’s Thirteen had me excited about the franchise again. I personally think 12 was crappy to ruin what 11 built up.

In any case, here’s the poster:

Oh yeah, it’s been a while since I saw Pacino and Andy Garcia together (The Godfather Part III).

Oh here’s the trailer too.

UP Bloggers’ Circle? Sounds good

Alex @ April 18, 2007 | | Education | Comments (3)

Blogging is really big in the University. You’ve got student-bloggers and even professor-bloggers. So why not create a UP org just for bloggers? And that’s what BA Racoma is proposing.

UP Bloggers’ Circle. Ayos, ‘di ba?

BA has put up a Groups for those interested.

Technically, I could sign-up (being a grad student and all). Hmm…
