it's the timeless tale told in a very effective medium... 3D animation!!!
all i can say is that it is very truthful to charles dicken's masterpiece. maybe a bit over-the-top... yeah... of course... what do you expect... jim carrey is in it... but it is still a beautiful and memorable piece of work. a must-see this holiday season... a word of caution though... it's not your typical holiday movie. enjoy.

1) has a good storyline
2) original characters
3) emotionally engaging
4) thought-provoking
4) and a visual treat
especially if it's animated...
so get ready to be blown away by terra. it's something both kids and adults will surely enjoy.

European International School
5th ECCP Soccer Cup
DISCO DISCO! :p
Fresh from their podium finish in last month’s Liga Futsalista, the AFC continues to make its presence known by joining another external league. The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) in partnership with Siemens organized the 5th ECCP Soccer Cup held last November 14 at the European International School (EIS), Parañaque City. Participating teams from ECCP member companies were split into two brackets: the AFC Galacticos were pitted against Lufthansa Technik Philippines (LTP) Mighty Cranes, Siemens Strikers, and Peninsula Manila; the AFC Huelguistas were to battle the LTP Hot Wings, For your EIS Only, Team Filtra, and Popeye D’ Sailor Maersk. As the sun rose, teams started filing into the fields, ready to start the games. After the opening ceremonies, the competition began. The hot noon sun accompanied the end of the eliminations, and hopes were high for an all-AFC finals as both teams topped their respective brackets. In the crossover semifinals, the AFC Galacticos scored a goal over For Your EIS Only, while defending champs Siemens Strikers refused to step down, denying the AFC Huelguistas a chance at the finals.
The championship then featured first-time entrants AFC Galacticos against last year’s top team Siemens Strikers. It was a tense first half as the afternoon sun took its toll on the tiring players. Attempts were made and missed, as the crowd collectively cheered and groaned. Halftime had both teams talking strategy to break the draw, and later the referee’s whistle signaled both teams to return to the field. After a few more scuffles, the AFC Galacticos executed a high throw-in followed through by a header past the Siemens goalkeeper, to seal the deal of the championship. To top off the AFC Galacticos’ championship, our own Captain Ryan Lim who scored the golden goal was also awarded Best Male Player, amid cheers from all the teams.

adidas kotr 09 results
i don't think the adidas kotr 5K was actually a 5K race. i'm guessing it's around 6K. i find it surprising. and i'm not the only person who noticed it. i saw some blog entries out there with the same sentiments. anyway, i think i did pretty well considering i didn't train for the race. i was busy with football/futsal practices.
Place: 661
Bib No. 6734
Gun start time: 45:18
Pace 9:04
Net time: 43:15
i don't think i'd be able to join a race this november. maybe, december. i'm still aiming for a sub-30 minute 5K finish. kelan kaya mangyayari yun... i'm turning 3-0 soon. time is not on my side. haha.

15 minutes theory
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
- Kahlil Gibran
at last i found something that supports my 15 minutes theory. haha. i believe that when meeting someone, the first 15 minutes defines the course of the entire relationship. during these short precious minutes, the guy, at the back of his head, would ask himself if he would want to continue pursuing or find a quiet way out. 15 minutes is all it takes – it is precursor to what will happen to the rest of the evening, to the rest of the relationship even.
my track record proves that i'm built this way.
maybe i can still change. who knows. all theories can be debunked right? hehe.
have a great weekend.

my suicide
don't worry guys. i'm not yet suicidal. life is good. i hope i didn't scare you. hehe. 'my suicide' is just the title of the lone film i've watched last cinemanila 09. if i'm to rate it, i give it four out of five stars. the visual effects and animation were stunning and seamless. the editing was very creative. and the lead character also did one hell of a good job.
before the start of the film, i was glad to find out that the lead animator of 'my suicide' is a filipino american by the name arvin bautista. he treated us with a short introduction on what we are about to experience. i felt bad for him though coz we were only around 20 in the cinema, and half of the audience was relatives of his. the film is just too good not be be seen by many.
tired... need to rest...
life is good.
