For the mean time, I'm trying out my free server I got from Frihost. I wonder how 10GB of Internet traffic would last.
My new blog is here. http://www.pinoymousepotato.com

After 2 Weeks… Monday June 5, 2006
Posted by Maco in I Have A Life!.add a comment
Well after two weeks of not blogging, I'll just say the geek stuff am working on is not yet finished. I'm back on my third drawing board coz am not yet satisfied with the results of the previous two. Yes, it's a web page. I'm actually hacking some code libraries to create my desired effects for the site. Oh well, that part is easy, the hard part is when it comes to the design and layout of the site. It gives me a lot of headache thinking of the general look and feel. So back to the drawing board and browsing some sites to have some ideas. I'm giving myself two more weeks to finish it. Ciao for now!

X-Men 3 : The Last Stand Monday May 22, 2006
Posted by Maco in Movie Flicks.4 comments
As I said, the day isn't over and I still have to go back to SM Mall of Asia but this time to watch the next awaited movie after The DaVinci Code… X-Men 3 : The Last Stand . I received the invitation to watch the Press Screening of the movie last Thursday, got so excited coz it will be shown in SM Mall of Asia cinemas… too bad it wasn't in the IMax theater… but I guess that's asking for too much. Beggars can't be choosers.
Although I'd really like to post some spoilers here, it won't be appropriate coz I don't want to burst the bubbles of those who are awaiting for the regular showing of the movie. Just post a comment if you want some spoilers, I'd gladly tell it to you… I won't write here that… bleep bleep bleep… hehehe
Up to now I'd still can't believe to what happened in that movie. The story has the elements of the usual comic facts we know and stitched it together to create a new storyline that you would not imagine nor predict that would even happen in the movie. It actually bested the two previous X-Men in terms of the story line. In this final chapter of the "X-Men" trilogy, you'd see more mutants and mutant powers used at its best… action packed mutant fight scenes that you have never seen in the previous X-Men movies. The only short coming is that you have to know a few about Marvel comics to find out which mutants are which. But if you are not an X-Men fanatic… it would not be a problem.
So for the risk they have taken for the X-Men story they did for this movie, I'd give them a 4 thumbs up! (2 hands thumbs… and two toe thumbs)… I know not everybody would agree so sue me!
There isn't so much improvements to the special effects but it is still great and kinda suffice the needs of the movie.
If there will be a fourth installment of X-Men we can only speculate. I won't spoil… I did promise. Hehehe…
——————–
Next press screening would be that movie of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Then of course the next much awaited movie for this year… Superman! (Sana sa IMax na ito!)
The Great Mall Of Asia Monday May 22, 2006
Posted by Maco in Destination, Flip-pinoy.1 comment so far
It's Sunday and it's my day off so I'll go malling (hehehe… sounds familiar?)
Next to watching korean/chinese/filipino telenovelas the next favorite Filipino pasttime is malling. It's actually a national sport that should be introduced into the next Olympics, we'll snatch a gold for sure if it will be included… nyahahaha. Besides the usual historical sites, boring art galleries and night life, malls are actually the new tourist destinations. You just have to realize how many malls we have now just in Metro Manila.
Ok, so back to my malling adventure. So for family day we decided to visit this new mall as a short activity, mom has to buy some gift for a golden anniversary wedding which they will be attending at 4pm. This sunday has an unusual bad sunday traffic so we got there around 230pm (so we've got only about 1hour of malling left). Once you get to the vicinity of the mall you'd see lot of cars anywhere… along side the roads, parking lots, parking spaces and literally anywhere surrounding the mall. So if you have that many cars… expect the number of people who are in that place… and I'd say literally swarming in that place. It's like suddenly the Mall of Asia is the most dense place in the country for the day. But the mall is like this giant behemoth… ready to take in as many people as it can. It's big and spacious.
According to Wiki (key: SM Mall Of Asia), SM Mall of Asia is now considered as the third largest mall in the world behind the Edmonton Mall of Canada and Golden Resource Mall of China. It boasts of an Olympic size skating rink and the much awaited IMax Theater which is one of the biggest cinema in the world… take that!
After buying the wedding gift, we have to scram out of the place so mom and my sis could go to their wedding itinerary. I went to the gym in Robinson's Place Manila and will have to go back again to Mall Of Asia for another itinerary… hehehe… see my next blog entry for this.
To be continued…
Palm-podding… Pod-palming… Sunday May 21, 2006
Posted by Maco in Flip-pinoy, I Have A Life!, Tech Ahhh.4 comments
It's G-Day again (as in G for GEEK!). This time it's a joint meeting between the tappers (Palm users) and the click wheelers (Ipod users). The meeting of course is a mayhem of all sorts… well in a geek sort of way of course.
Wearing the whites were the Podders and those in blacks were the Palmers. Since I am a member of both groups (yeah… geek… so geek… rub it in!) and I can't find a zebra shirt to wear for that occasion, I wore blue instead. The meeting was held 4pm at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at Greenbelt 3. I arrived at 5 pm… Filipino time.
I arrived just in time for the Ques-tune game, a name-that-song game. I joined the group of some Mapalad oldies (meaning not newbies… and … uhmmm.. nevermind), it turns out we were too old for some new songs and we are too forgetful-old in guessing the titles of the old songs. They played some Polish Polka and German Love songs for us to guess the titles… kidding! Hey we did good in the OPM Oldies… ayt!
The joint meetings aim is to extend camaraderie with other tech user groups. We did it once with the Windows Mobile Users group (yup Palm and Windows Mobile users can co-exist in one place), and now with Ipod users community.
What's next? Hmm… we'll wait what is in store for the June meeting… but for now am interested in the GEEK IN THE PINK song of Jason Mraz.
