I was supposed to do the project I’m working with Dinky but alas, laziness struck me.
My brain would not cooperate with my will and the DVDs in our house keep on calling me. I cave in and popped Collateral in our player. It was a nice movie. Tom Cruise playing an assassin while Jamie Foxx as a good-hearted cab driver. When the movie ended, I put in Rocky III. I am again into these Rocky movies. I already completed buying the movies in DBD format but haven’t got time to watch ‘em. I got Rocky/RockyII in one disc, RockyIII/RockyIV in the another disc and RockyV/Daylight in the last disc. Haha.
After the Itallian Stallion clobbered Clubber Lang (played by Mr. T), I put on next the Blade Trilogy. This DBD contains the 3 Blade movies. They are all in good quality and couldn’t ask for more. It was my first time to watch this Blade character. I haven’t seen a single movie of it since it was shown. I bought this movie set because of the third movie - Blade Trinity. Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel join Wesley Snipes in their vampire hunting. Nice movie and superb effects. Kita mo yung improvement ng Blade mula nung simula. Hanep din yung fight scenes.
I think I started watching about 3pm in the afternoon and finished at about 12pm. And maybe that’s the reason why I’m having a terrible ache at the back of my head now.
Kahapon nag-text si Ray sa akin:
“Andito ako sa megamall, parang may exhibit ng mga photo studios. Andito wedding album nung sa kaibigan nyo na sina John at Rheena. Tangna ang galing ng photographer.”
Well you see, John and Rheena’s wedding was a big production - Lord of the Rings style. It was great. From the smoke machine to the plants and vines around Fernwoods and the little hobbits as their ring and bible bearers.
He followed up his text:
“Hindi ko kayo makita sa album, inalis siguro ang mga pangit. Hehehe.”
Mokong talaga yun. Ang lakas humirit.
See the complete list from their website.
The list includes:
- Finding Nemo (2003)
- The Lord of the Rings (2001-03)
- Drunken Master II (1994)
- Pulp Fiction (1994)
- Farewell My Concubine (1993)
- Schindler’s List (1993)
Note that almost half of the films were made outside the United States.
I got tossed several times before controlling my balance.
Sail is still down.
Pulling the sail up..
Sail went overboard and I splashed at the water. 
Finally got the surf running.

I’ll try to buy my copy of beerkada later at Glorietta.
After Louis Leithold, another famous mathematician died this year.
George Dantzig, the inventor of the Simplex method for solving Linear Programming problems, died on May 13. He was also the now-legendary student who turned in solutions for what he had taken to be a homework assignment, only to find out they had been posted as examples of what were suspected to be unsolvable problems.
The story goes like this:
George Danzig, while studying in college, was bored by his math classes. He walked up to the professor and said, “My classes are too easy!” The professor looked at him, and said, “Well, I’m sure you’ll find this interesting.” Then the professor copied 9 problems from a book to a paper and gave the paper to Danzig. A month later, the professor ran into Danzig, “So how are you doing with the problems I gave you?” “Oh, they are very hard. I only managed to solve 6 of them.” The professor was visibly shocked, “What!? But those are unsolved problems!”
Many of you guys reading this will not know Dantzig but he’s one of the movers in the Operations Research field and somehow put me to where I am now.
Rest in pease Mr. Dantzig.
Third time to be at Dr. Manlapaz’ resthouse in Anilao. I was with Pen, Noims and Richard. This is first time to be there without Dr. M himself.
We were on our way as early as 6am Saturday and got to the place at around 9am. Brought our own foods and drinks. We went kayaking, snorkelling and WINDSURFING! I got to windsurf for about 15 mins only as I always loose my balance. Hehe.
There were lots of fishes when we went snorkelling. Unlike the other times we were there when fishes were scarce, this time everywhere you look you will surely see a school of fish passing by. Si Noemi, nagtuturo ng “Joker fish” sa spot nya, nalito ako kasi wala namang joker fish. Tapos sabi nya, “Si Nemo andito”. Clown fish pala yung sinasabi nya. Labo hehe.
Bitin lang talaga kapag overnight stay lang. Dapat at least 2 nights stay to really enjoy the place.
We’ll be uploading pics as soon as I got them from pen.
I know it’s a huge film but to wait in line for 5 months to see it is overkill. I do like the StarWars concept and even bought the enhanced DVD version of the 4-5-6 films plus the bonus disc (albeit pirated copies only).
I did liked the Phantom Menace but no so much with Attack of the Clones. I have yet to see the movie one of these days. It’s the current buzz topic in the internet, bus/mrt/jeep rides, malls and virtually everywhere since last week. StarWars geeks constantly talking about their excitement for this last film. Casual movie goer would want to see the film because everybody is talking about it even though they know nothing of the film. The hype is monstrous. Good thing that I’m not into TV watching nowadays and even newspaper reading so less information overload for me.
Pagpasok ko lang sa opisina kaninang umaga, ang bati nung opismeyt ko “Ang ganda nang part 3″. Wala man lang yung standard na “‘Musta weekend?”. Di pa nga ako nakaka-upo sa upuan ko at mag-login sa PC yung agad ang sasabihin sa akin. Hindi naman siya hardcore fan, casual movie goer lang. Ni hindi pa nga napapanuod yung eps4-6, akala mo kung sinong ma-alam sa Starwars.
Man, i wish i can have one of this.
Sana rin may pirated versions ng dvd games. hehe
I’m a little delayed with the upgrade. Didn’t know WordPress released an upgrade 6 days ago.
I encountered a database error while upgrading, but if you can read this new post, chances are things are still going smoothly.
I’ll be trying to contact my host later and ask why I can’t access my MyPHP panel here in ePinoy.
