Since pet peeves have already been aired here, this is mine. Not that I'm going to put on the Grammar Nazi hat, but this, after all, is a site that is still representative of an educational institution that is accessible to outsiders.

So let's please practice proper English and Filipino writing skills. Fellow teachers, I am appealing to you to help enforce this. Thank you.

Heroes TV Series

Last night I found out from online sources how the first season finale of this series ended.

It's a bit disappointing, the climactic confrontation not having the same urgency that the earlier episodes seem to have built up on, as well as having streets too empty for New York City, compared to the Spider-Man movies.

Maybe it's okay for half the city to blow up anyway, because there are no people around.

But I'll still watch the second season.

Finally unlocked all the characters in Lego Star Wars II. Here's the Emperor giving the Emperor and Darth Vader a taste of the Sith Lightning in my version of the climactic Return of the Jedi battle.

This is the author of one of the books I was able to buy over the weekend. Besides being a published writer, he has also teamed up with other writers such as Stephen King and Amy Tan to form a musical band called "The Rock Bottom Remainders".

Ate at Fish & Co. GB3 last weekend. Only now remembered to post about it. Got their fish and chips (which is actually french fries). The fish was huge for P300+ and not crispy at all, but soft.

From Live Action to Drawn


Fear - Death Note

Last night I was able to watch the first three episodes of the live action movies that I viewed first. So far the plot development is the same, with a little more exposition especially on where the notebook originated and the his academic relationship with his sister.

But the people in school who are into this are hoping that like some of those local TV series turned into movies, that the ending of the movies may be different from the ending of the series.

Let's hope so, otherwise I'm just watching an extended version of something I already know the story of.

Smallville Season 6 Cliffhanger


Smallville is Coming...

I just found out last night what happens at the end of the season. They really kept the surprise of the identity of the established Superman villain to make the appearance until the last minute or so. Being the comic geek that I am, trying to outguess which characters are going to show up in the comic TV series or movies has always been fun. And all those fans that thought Green Arrow and company would be making a reappearance must be disappointed. I also didn't like what Chloe's meteor power turned out to be. Well, four months more to wait for the new season...
