Dinner at Max's

In light of our 10th month together, we both decided to have a nice dinner at Max's, at SM San Lazaro, after my practice with Skittlez, and hers with LSDC-Jazz. A pretty great date! :)





The food! :)
Crab and Corn Soup

Max's Barbecued Chicken with Java Rice

Max's Fried Chicken

Having dessert, pandan/coconut special with vanilla ice cream. Gosh, how sinful! :P


The food at Max's was pretty incredible. :) I think that they serve the best grilled chicken (Reyes Barbecue fans will get me for this), but I really think the way Max's barbecues their chicken is better. The servings were alright, about typical here in the Philippines. Another plus for Max's was that the place looked a lot better as compared to other chicken places. Dessert was divine! :D They're a little under-staffed, but the service was still reasonably quick. :)

The Incredible Hulk

Watched this last week, when I was down with a fever. A lot (and I mean, WAY) better than the Eric Bana "Hulk" in my opinion. More action, less talk. LOL. Special effects and CGI were top-notch, and Edward Norton, just like in Fight Club, was brilliant. I suppose what set it apart from the Bana film was the glorious slugging match between Norton's Hulk against the 'abomination' (not sure of the name). It was something new I guess, since most one-on-one fights employ weapons all the time; these two just had their fists for most of the fight.

Appearance of Tony Stark (Ironman) at the end suggests a possible sequel. I hope there's one. :)

Casino Royale

Watched the first James Bond of Daniel Craig (I know, I didn't watch it 2 years ago because I was against the fact that he's blond; Bonds have always been dark-haired, and I like Bond traditions, like the Omega watches, Aston Martin cars, and the quintessential martini), and I must say I was not too impressed. That does not necessarily equate to 'the-movie-sucked'; merely that Craig has a long way to go before portraying Bond like Connery, Moore, and to an extent, Brosnan, did.

Plot development, as always, was very good. Action-scenes were quite new, as Bond has never been known to be a parkour (free-running) practitioner. I think the script-writers took a little liberty with Craig, making his Bond a little grittier. Not too bad, I suppose, but I'm sure Bond fans would probably take some time to get used to it. I know I will. I did not like the Bond girl for this movie. Didn't really complement Craig very well, and they were needlessly romantic. Bond is a slick player, not a heart-melter. Still, it was a James Bond movie. :)

Looking forward to Quantum of Solace.

Eagle Eye

It's good to see LaBeouf grow up and take a more mature role in this flick. Plot evolution was really good, and the action scenes are heart-stopping. CGI and special effects are some of the best I have ever seen in a movie, and that says a lot. :) The ending could be a little more exciting, and the 'villain' was slightly anti-climactic, which I would say is the only negative thing about the movie. Also, it's a thought-provoking film because the circumstances are entirely possible.

The Gravedancers

A not-too-hyped about horror movie, this was a waste of time. Apart from not being scary (seriously), the poor acting and over-direction really ruined an acceptable plot. I would have forgiven this movie for those, even if it was alright in some parts, but the awful climax CGI was really bad. A tacky movie made worse by tackier effects.

Obama-Biden 08

Congratulations to Democratic President-Elect Barack Obama, and his Vice-President-Elect Joe Biden on winning the 2008 US Presidential elections.


I believe that you, Mr. Obama, is the change that America and the world has been longing for. Expectations are great, and I am quite confident that you will carry the nation of America to greater heights and further grow to be an example for the world.

Obama's Victory Speech.


It's time for a change.

Falling Apart

I never thought it was possible.
I have always, always prided myself in my physical condition. I may not be cut like a 300 Spartan, but heck, I know I'm healthy.

Studying for mid-terms and dance practices everyday just took its toll on me, physically and mentally. Yesterday, I almost collapsed in school due to exhaustion. I spent four hours in the University Clinic, where the nurses, I must say, took real good care of me. My back was on fire, and I never thought back pain from exhaustion will ever hit me.

But it did.

I am taking a break this weekend from studying, and will limit dancing until next week. I hope I get well soon, as REMIX 2008 is already on the 14th of November.

*sigh*
