If you're into animation [department], these are the two top Annie Awards nominees for 2009 with Coraline leading with 10 and Up with 9. Although I didn't see UP in 3D and only saw Coraline on DivX, it's worth mentioning that I enjoyed them both and will see them again with higher resolution next time. I'm no critic, simply an avid viewer. I loved them both and putting these film [posters] together form a word, and that's C UP . To finish, I liked CUP! Right now, I'd like a cup of coffee. Goodnight.

Good discussion going on here! I wish I had something to add but I simply adored the film. Fantastic! -------------------------- Pictured is Zoe Saldana as Neytiri, the Warrior Princess. So here's more with a link to 21 High Resolution Photos from James Cameron's Avatar

CNN Article By Mairi Mackay , CNN December 11, 2009 11:54 a.m. EST London, England (CNN) -- James Cameron's feverishly-awaited sci-fi blockbuster "Avatar" has enjoyed its world premiere to strong reviews. Hyped as the most technically-ambitious and expensive film ever made, "Avatar," had a lot to live up to. But, as the credits rolled following the 3D epic's world premiere in London Thursday, it looked like the "Titanic" director's decade-long gamble had paid off. There were whoops and cheers as portions of the audience gave Cameron and cast members, including Sigourney Weaver and Sam Worthington, a standing ovation. Later, outside, among the excited crowd, much of the talk was about the amazing spectacle Cameron had created on the fictional planet of Pandora, which has been invaded by military forces from Earth. "It was an absolute marvel and I am left in awe after seeing it," audience member James Howard, 23, said of the magi...

How People are LEGO: Fast manifestation on Tridroid My friend DJ Chuang, blogger and consultant, once called me a human Intel processor. I think it was a reference to the speed at which I would bounce around different ideas. I prefer to think of myself as a Tigger, as in the World of Pooh. Playful, creative, upbeat, and courageous, the Tigger is always listening, observing, and moving. What I've come to accept is that I'm something of a Fast Manifestor. Lately, the social media Tweetups I've attended are a-buzz with questions about the viability of Twitter, whether it's a fad, and what its purpose is. After a similar conversation with college Tweeter @arianna at Solstice Cafe in the U-district (Seattle), I blurted out this thought: "Oh my God, people are LEGO." Wait a minute. What do fast manifestation, LEGO, and Twitter (or Tridroid for the Android phone) have in common? Did you just get lost in these seemingly unrelated thoughts? In my Tigger brain, these su...

News PS3 is firmware upgradeable to 3D 20 November 2009 15:20 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 14 comments During their presentation to investors and shareholders, Sony marked 3D gaming as one of the five keys to the future of the PlayStation 3 and noted that all "PS3 units will be firmware upgradeable to 3D." Sony added the bold statement that they hope to "lead to the 3D market," and will begin to offer 3D tools to third-party developers in the near future. Besides the PS3, Sony is looking to incorporate the technology into Bravia HDTVs and the Blu-ray format in general. The other four keys were motion control, Blu-ray, PSN, and PSP-integration.

My blog template only shows the time of blogging, not the date. So this week is Halloween week (nobody's really in school), and I've added four blogs in succession just for tonight. May I greet everybody Happy Halloween today until Sunday. Although it's not my favorite holiday, I think we're all set for it! Please be updated too of my new and revamped website at Wix. It's AdVentures: A Journey for your Bookmarks/Favorites. So, pardon me Hallmark, but there will only be exciting additional artwork if you care enough to download the very best. Thanks and Bon Appetit downloading! ---so fart the artist!

And while I'm at it...here's some SI pics from The Philippines' Man of the Hour . I've never seen anything quite like it! Don't say I didn't warn you.

WTF and What the Hell!!!

P11,490 for the 8Gb iPod. Still can't afford it right away. I just like the peso price tag. It means they're here.

50 Random Questions 1. Where were you 3 hours ago? In bed or probably eating breakfast. Tricky! 2. Who are you in love with? Myself and my family. 3. Have you ever eaten a crayon? Can't remeber but it's not such a bad idea considering Van Gogh ate oil paint from tubes. And look how he stacked up. 4. Is there anything pink within 10 feet of you? Yeah, my windows. I deliberately colored (painted) them pink! 5. When is the last time you went to the mall? Oh, probably 2-3 days ago. Why do you ask? 6. Are you wearing socks right now? Not yet. In a couple of minutes perhaps. 7. Do you have a car worth over $2,000? Wouldn't know. We have the Peso as currency over here. 8. When was the last time you drove out of town? Do not know. 1991? Never?!!? 9. Have you been to the movies in the last 5 days? No. 10. Are you hot? By hot, is it good or bad? 11. What was the last thing you had to drink? Iced Tea 12. What are you wearing right now?

Excellent Music. Perhaps I'm ready to sleep.

Gmail Keyboard Shortcuts Improve Productivity One of the biggest arguments I've heard against using Gmail is that desktop clients like Thunderbird and Outlook offer better keyboard shortcut support. To this I say NONSENSE! Gmail includes great keyboard shortcut functionality, you just have to turn it on. You will also have a small learning curve because the Gmail keyboard shortcuts are different than those found in Outlook and Thunderbird. The great thing is, if you turn Gmail shortcuts on once, they work from any computer. The 5 Gmail Shortcuts I use most frequently are: c - creates a new email message. Use Shift+c to open the new message in its own window. / - puts the cursor in the search box. Email search is probably something I do more than any other email fuction. u - takes back to your inbox view from any message. j - moves down the message list taking you to the next older message than the one you are currently on. x - checks the box next to a message. Used in combination w...

Before I sign off, I just have this to add: As much as I would like to (appease my sister and) go back to my psychiatrist, if I had the choice, I'd really like to move on with my life and not get stuck for another millenia indulging in psycho-babble. I'm helping the doctor more than I'm helping myself at this point. A prayer: May God give me the decency of having a "say", a "choice" in what I'm in this world for. I hate to waste (my talk time) out on some psychiatrist (who will only meddle with my thoughts). Maybe I can do it for a couple of weeks but that's the limit for sure. Signed, Adorina

Overcoming low grade Depression : "As depression is a state of mind, being with positive people and things can help you overcome negativity and misery. Keep company with people who are positive and easy to be with. Avoid people who like to criticize or complain." In all 20 years of psychotherapy, this is the Best Advise I've heard of yet!

Been to the Doctor (psychiatrist) today, as advised by my doctor sister...before looking for another one to hear my newfound physical complaints. Exclamation 1: I've never talked to him since 2006! Exclamation 2: And it was only yesterday when I had a civilized conversation with my sister. Addtn'l Bit of Record Trivia: Plus I'm 45 and I've never been to a doctor for the longest time (for general check-up anyway). Record Trivia #2: I've taken up Medical Transcription when I was not under his mutilation er...monitoring. Don't tell me having a sense of dry humor is all that bad. Points to ponder: Basically, he says I'm more in focus ...more than he had ever seen me before. That would mean anytime during the whole length of time I've been seeing him since the early '90s. I haven't been taking my medicines since 2005 or 2006, and apparently I've done well without them (...and something he overlooked completely...him!) He didn't prescribe any.....

Don't know why I'm posting this really but I can see the commotion from way over here. Am curious myself.

Archie Andrews, the perpetual teenage star of Archie Comics is finally proposing to long-time flame Veronica Lodge in favor of next-door blond beauty Betty. Coming out September 1, I wish already had a copy * smile *.

Started playing with Pangya on the PSP late this afternoon. Great escape to Fantasy Island. Already finished the first tournament feat Scout!

Hello. This is a test for Blogger Buddy Gadget.

Writing this blog with Windows Live Writer, part of Windows 7 Downloads.  It’s just a little hard writng black text on a green, mixed background.  Maybe it’s about time I changed my blog’s template again!

I'm drawn to getting to doodle Spongebob time and again. Here's something someone else posted. If the drawing isn't showing up, click on the title for the link.

Two of the things I'm looking forward to in the days ahead: Fantasy Golf Pangya for the PSP and Julie and Julia the Movie . Both, hopefully are good for the Sole/Soul.

TopSpin 3 for both the Wii and PS3, Virtua Tennis 2009 for both platforms, Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii with Motion Plus Control and Mario Power Tennis for the Wii. I have two or three of these right now. I needn't have all. I just like the garden variety of the game. MORE!

Who is this interesting PS3 personality of the month and why didn't I get any real Sackboy upon request, not that I actually requested for one? Been playing with Little Big Planet on the PS3 since 3 weeks ago and the first impression one gets is that it's child's play but looking at the little BIG following it has among PS3 users, it's a title strictly for Everybody (creative enough to mete out it's numerous challenges...like creating your very own world replete with good physics and eye-pleasing objects and decorations.) Still, the question I ask is why don't I have my real Sackboy since I'm definitely qualified as "Everybody"? Now after publishing this blog bargain, maybe I will get a hold of this little plush and dress him up accordingly...or simply put some sticky stickers on it...let it perform death-defying stunts on the garden/backyard... The possibilities are endless.

(Ricky Hatton Knocked out BBC 5Live Report) Never since the Thrilla in Manila in 1975 has my interest in ringside boxing been revived with much curiosity, not that I think Pacman is the Greatest. On May 2, 2009, the Battle of East vs West took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and the whole PI was crimeless stupid for at least 15 minutes or so (Sunday morning, May 3rd over here). Several knockdowns in Round 1. A total knockout in Round 2. A defeat of a whitey by a series of solid punches and a crushing left blow from an LBB (little brown brother). Manny Pacquiao is the man of the hour and the Ricky Hatton fight was truly a delight all Filipinos can be proud of wherever they are. Finally, hats off to the Pacman. May you eat up all future ghosts lurking at every corner. ROFL..

Tao Te Ching 38 When the Tao is lost, there is goodness. When goodness is lost, there is morality. When morality is lost, there is ritual. Ritual is the husk of true faith, the beginning of chaos. Therefore the Master concerns himself with the depths and not the surface, with the fruit and not the flower. He has no will of his own. He dwells in reality, and lets all illusions go. Ritual is important in religion. It is important in life. Can we become so clever that we reject the rituals? Sure, we know that waters of baptism don’t actually clean someone physically from intangible sin. The person doesn’t really die and then come back to life. The bread and wine of sacrament are not flesh and blood. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, spilled his blood and died for our sins upon a wooden cross. He was a symbol of great sacrifice. Did God really have to do that physically? Isn’t it the same to just think about the symbol? Can’t we just talk about? We can be very logical and concrete. There is no...

The New Dora The Explorer. Giving the old merchandise a sexy little look. With the new transformation goes the old Backpack, Boots and Swiper. I wonder who her new friends will be.

Understanding Comics: More than meets the eye. Much more.

Cute, sexy, sweet and funny -- an evolutionary riddle It's all in the wiring.

Nobody blame Bush. Just be constantly reminded what this Iraqi War was all about. Some American Idiot had the gaul to post this on Geeks and laugh about it. Just goes to show how downright stupid some Americans can really be. At some point in this boy's life (the one who posted it), I hope he gets the chance to empathize with the Iraqi boy this video is all about...and then laugh about it. After all, Adversity makes men. Prosperity makes monsters. The Geeky Link.

See if you can make this work. I live in a large hollow block. A square room averaging 5 x 5 sq. meters. It is made up mostly of cemented beams...cement for the ceiling, walls, and floors. Like I told you...a large hollow block is what it is. I can hear sounds from all over reverberating in my hollowblock room. Sounds from our next door neighbor when they bang their big tall iron gates. Same disturbing sounds when they bang their car doors. Sounds from below my room...which seems to have quelled at the moment...that irritating sound of a tiny child speaking a dialect I couldn't figure out what. Anyway, it's just plain noise to me. Never mind the ongoing construction work of a nearby condominium building which they shouldn't be building in a residencial subdivision. I can't fight the corruption that is City Hall on my own. I also hear the sounds of my Logitech computer keyboard as I am typing away. Other than that, there is silence in my room...except for the oc...

This is the part (the exact same time) where I can actually hear the next-door faggot's resigned reaction. Later in the afternoon, he too will tire and shut up for a few minutes before we do the same thing over again....all while we wither away...into the days of bummer.

The State of the House: People are dying here. It's not a home I live in. There is no warmth except in my auto-built sunroof but sometimes, the sun's too strong and I have to come down and rest in my red room. The only maid we have is taking care of 1.) an 87-yr old jerk, most of the time, even to her; 2.) a 3-yr old blah-blah from Ani-i; 3.) a husband waiting aimlessly for an overseas job that never comes. He is in my opinion, nothing but freeloader aside from being eyesore. She also, aside from being cooky, cooks smelly fish in the morning and irritates me endlessly with her mind games. She is overworked from my own description. She came to our house to conquer. I'll tell you this. She cannot conquer me. I think she is working with an undiagnosed mental illness: retardation. Seriously. Add to that, righteous indignation that has no place in my heart. My only sister, 7 years older, just let go of a personal therapist she was solely responsible for taking abroad to work. Af...

The Vision (not my writing) He just asked me to spread The Word. A friend of mine sent this to me and he told me who wrote it, I just forgot. Once I remember or get the info, I'll edit this post with his name in it. Anyway, this basically sums up the normal Christian life. "So this guy comes up to me and says: Whats the vision? Whats the big idea? I open my mouth and words come out like this: The vision? The vision is JESUS obsessively, dangerously, undeniably Jesus. The vision is an army of young people. You see bones? I see an army. And they are FREE from materialism. They laugh at 9x5 little prisons. They could eat caviar on Monday and crusts on Tuesday. They wouldn't even notice. They know the meaning of the Matrix, the way the West was Won. They are mobile like the wind, they belong to the nations. They need no passport. People write their addresses in pencil and wonder at their strange existence. They are free yet they are slaves of the hurting and dirty and dyi...

Created by Train Horns My Reply to the Discussion: "No, I can't. At first, I thought I heard one, similar to the sound of a dog whistle and when I ante'd up my volume, I heard the same tiny sound again. I heard it but technically, it wasn't significant. I'm 44. Although I pride myself in being able to listen to faraway sounds, as far as my neighbors' place, I also choose to cancel their noise by simply listening to elegant music. Good Discussion entry though."

I've been happily browsing early this morning and here's what I've found...a prototype for the new PSP 4000, Sony's answer to its current rival-come-lately iPod Touch. Since Sony has been a frontrunner for gaming and amazing hardware, I'm excited to see any new tech they come up with. From Afterdawn Website: PSP-4000 to have slider screen? 23 February 2009 21:57 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz 12 comments For over a year now rumors have surfaced every few weeks that a Sony PSP 2 is in the works, with the most recent rumor claiming the new hardware will be touchscreen and will have dual thumbsticks and the removal of UMD . According to new "highly-trusted sources" contacting VG247, there will be no PSP 2 anytime soon, but instead a completely redesigned PSP , dubbed the PSP-4000. Internally the system would be identical to the PSP-3000 , but the hardware would be a "complete aesthetic overhaul", adding a large slider screen and the m...

I couldn't just go to Apo without revisiting Lourdes Church, now could I? Aside from being one of the country's best churches, this is the place where I grew up, and is naturally close to my heart. I entered the dark church passing by the statues (I grew up with) and took pictures of most of them. Then I went to the candle-lighting room and lit just one, for thanks. Looking at my specially-made montage now, I'm thinking who the other still few-lit candles could have been for, since every color had a different intention and all of them would be hopefully answered. *I hope I lit one more for the world today*

It's still a mystery to me...how we got Shakey's. Was it my fervent prayers, my emotional proposal, a sweet twist of fate of them simply finding me, since the manager lives nearby... Whatever it could have been, I'm utterly grateful for the fact that business, no matter how humble, is booming.

My very own Pizza Joint. Just when I was beginning to think I was turning more and more into a stick in the mud with all my Internet waves and wantings , I realized I was waiting for this moment when I had a job of my own, and a steady income. Well, next to owning this Pizza Joint, what could be better than leasing the place I used to call home and do away with all the heavy work a real business is involved with. Today, I was able to visit my old hometown...still in Quezon City but distanced by horrendous highway traffic from home now. It was like a walk in memory lane...upgraded by a very large Shakey's sign where I used to enjoy home-cooked food. My prayers have been answered after all, just across the street in fact where I asked for an intention in our old Lourdes church. In 2007, I remembered lighting a candle in the hopes of finding a good lessee. Today, I was happy to light a yellow candle in Thanksgiving for my new Pizza Shakin' business.

Woke up today not entirely ready to watch another winner downloaded last night (movies Milk and The Reader). I'm more content just listening to the heavenly voice of Andrea Bocelli, whom Celine Dion once called God's singing voice. I totally agree. Listening to him ends up sorting my frazzled neurons and gets me in the mood to compose my thoughts...as I am writing right now while listening to Last.fm radio featuring his songs and others. If they say listening to beautiful music takes you to heights the mundane world stubbornly refuses to even let you see let alone experience, then right now...I'm happily floating on cloud nine, if only for a few minutes before I accompany my 87 yr-old WWII Veteran father to claim his right for his lumpsome benefits from the US government. The bill was finally signed this month and it would be interesting to say the least, to see how the old people are scrambling to various government offices to see their long-promised fortune come to fruiti...

"I've walked the streets of Mumbai, and all I can say is it's not a walk in the park...but I've kept my eye on the ball...and that's why they call me Slumdog...Mil-lion-aire!" ---Jamal (or what Jamal could have said the day after the super exciting quiz show...that won him his ulzimate happiness) Thank you Director Danny Boyle for bringing it to me...and the rest of the world. Slumdog is easily this year's most optimistic World movie. Knowing how probably dreadful and utterly hopeless living in the slums could be (and that comprises a large chunk of the world too often ignored), I've found a new leash in life after watching the funtastick movie. So instead of being self-proclaimed "King of the World", I can softly declare that I'm Slumdog Millionaire!...everytime I walk the streets of Manila or even Quezon City. Having said that, here's hoping I don't run into a tomato-throwing clown when I watch Gran Torino tomorrow. * Me and ...

Right after watching the Opening Ceremonies of the 2009 Oscar Awards with Amazing Hugh Jackman as host and just reaching the part where Penelope Cruz is awarded for Best Supporting Actress in Vicky Cristina Barcelona all before our scheduled monthly luncheon with my dad's Senior Citizen friends (whew!), I was able to go see the movie today. Fantastic timing and a really good movie! I'm satisfied. Without knowing anything about the movie, I initially thought the title was a full Catholic girl's name, with Barcelona as her last...all within the likely setting of Barcelona, Spain (duh). After the first few minutes of watching, I couldn't have been happier to be completely uninformed. Thoroughly enjoyed another Woody Allen movie and that's all I can really say...except that I'm going to be a fan of Slumdog Millionaire once I get to watch it tomorrow, and probably The Reader the next, and Milk, and Doubt and all the nominees for this year's Oscars. Now's a g...
