“Inception” is Possible

Joni — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:48:03 +0000

(Warning: semi-spoilers ahead!)

So I saw Inception two nights ago, and just like the rest of Leonardo diCaprio’s movies, this too blew my mind away. I read an interview article wherein Leo mentioned that he was fortunate to have the opportunity to choose the movies he does. And judging by the movies he has made in the last few years, we can definitely say that he’s got taste. The Departed, Blood Diamond, Shutter Island are among the best I’ve seen recently. And his latest movie, Inception, is just as mind-boggling and exciting.

I found the movie intriguing because I, myself, am a big dreamer – literally. I dream almost every night. Most times they’re vivid enough that I can tell people the details of what I dreamed about; and sometimes they’re not that it causes me to spend a few moments each morning “digging deep into the recesses of my mind” to remember what my dream was about (srsly! it stresses me out, lol.). And as for “Inception”, I think I’ve done it to myself once.

Believe it or not, I mastered driving in my dreams before I did in my conscious state. When I was maybe 14 or 15 years old, I got obsessed with driving. For a time, it’s all I could think about — that I must learn how to drive. My dad and my brothers taught me the basics, and they did make me practice from time to time, but I get too scared when I’m on the road, especially a busy one. Once while practicing, I halted and froze in an intersection! The cars behind me were honking loudly while there I was, panicking behind the wheel, not knowing what to do next. Good thing someone was there to remind me to calm down. I got out of there alive, but barely. Lol.

Even though fear took over me, my desire to learn was more intense that I had to do some improvisation. So I learned how to drive in my thoughts. And because I’ve been thinking about it too much, my subconscious of course joined in the fun. And so, for weeks, I practiced driving in my dreams. Yes, while I was asleep! In my dreams, I usually wasn’t driving an ordinary car, but a monster truck complete with those huge wheels! (Go figure.) I would take out the truck from the garage, drive around the city, and when I was done cruising in it, I would drive it back home. The details of my dreams felt real — from turning the keys in the ignition, to shifting gears, balancing the pedals, turning corners, driving in reverse, and parking! My mind was responding accurately to what I was seeing in my dream: the other cars and jeepneys on the road, the pedestrians crossing the street, the sidewalk, and other obstacles.

After some serious practicing (in my thoughts and in my dreams), the fear I had when I’m driving went away. It’s like I suddenly got used to the chaos in the streets that it didn’t bother anymore. I was able to remain calm and do my thing to get from Point A to Point B. Then one day, I was able to drive on my own, for real this time, without supervision. And it was the greatest feeling in the world! At that age, at least. :D

Cobb: “The seed that we planted in this man’s mind, may change everything.”

How silly of me trying to relate my story to the movie Inception, HAHA!! The way I learned how to drive is of course not like what happened in the movie, but I just found a slight connection in there somewhere and used it as an excuse to tell this story. LOLLL.

Obviously, the movie is just fiction, but it does prove something that is real and true: that the mind is so powerful that it can enslave us in so many ways.

I’m mentally tagging Inception as one of my favorite movies. It’s a visionary masterpiece! Looking forward to Leonardo diCaprio’s upcoming films. And Ellen Page’s, too. Good job, June-bug! :)

Spreading the August Rush Love

Joni — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:41:25 +0000

I just discovered a new favorite movie: August Rush. I know it’s not unusual that I gush about movies, but this time I’m turning up the gushing one more notch. August Rush is an absolutely beautiful movie.

I’ve had a copy of this 2007 film in my external HDD for a while now, but never got around to watching it (because I haven’t heard of it before and didn’t think it was anything special) until that night when I told myself I should sit through it. And I’m so glad I did!

If you look at the big picture, you’d see that the story is about an orphan boy who came looking for his mother and father whom he haven’t met yet. And he does eventually find them. But what makes this story unique is how he finds them. Or to be precise, how they find him.

Yet the story is not just about a boy whose one wish in the world is to be found, it is also about a mother who, after 11 years, still haven’t moved past the terrible experience of losing her baby. She lived her unhappy life trying to fill the void brought on by what she thought was a miscarriage. She later learns that her son is alive and sets off to find him.

The story is also about a father who, oblivious to the existence of a son, have not quite gotten over that girl he met 11 years ago at a rooftop. From time to time he is reminded of the love they could have had but lost due to some complications.

What eventually makes these three paths meet is their love for music. The mother and the father are both musicians, and the son, while growing up, develops an extraordinary passion for music even though he hasn’t played a single note in his life. He claims that the moon told him to follow the music. And he believes that if he learns how to play the music, his parents will hear him, and they would know he was theirs.

Below are some of my favorite quotes. I’d like to think that “music” and “faith” are interchangeable.

“Listen, can you hear it? The music, I can hear it everywhere. In the wind, in the air, in the light. It’s all around us. All you have to do is open yourself up.”

“Sometimes the world tries to knock it out of you, but I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales.”

“I believe that once a upon time, long ago, they heard the music. And followed it.”

“I don’t know where it [music] comes from, but it’s what I hold on to. And I can’t let go.”

“Do you know what music is? God’s little reminder that there’s something else besides us in this universe. A harmonic connection between all living beings, everywhere, even the stars.”

“You got to love music more than you love food. More than life. More than yourself.”

“I could hear it. Sometimes I wake up and it’s there. I hear it when I’m walking down the street. It’s like someone’s calling out to me. Writing it all down is like I’m calling out to them.”

“You can’t learn music from books. It’s out there.”

“You never quit on your music. No matter what happens. Coz anytime something bad happens to you, that’s the one place you can escape to and just let it go. I learned that the hard way. And anyway, look at me. Nothing bad’s gonna happen. You gotta have a little faith.”

“The music is all around us. All you have to do is listen.”

Okay, enough spoilers! The movie is starred by big names such as Keri Russell, Robin Williams, and Terrence Howard. If you haven’t seen it, get a copy now. After you’ve watch it, rush back here and share your thoughts. =)

Pre-Sleep Ritual and Movies

Joni — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:18:32 +0000

Since the start of this year, I’ve developed the habit of watching movies or TV series every night to get myself to fall asleep. I think this habit started around the time I wrote this entry which is during a very low point in my life. Prior to that, I won’t be able to sleep knowing my laptop is still on. My mind would be screaming “Think of your electric bill!” or “MBP charger may get fried again, warranty had lapsed!” until I do something about it. Today I usually just let my FRIENDS DVD (which I’ve already seen countless times) play in the background while I’m asleep — I just turn it off in the morning time.

I’ve figured out the reason behind this: I want to hear sounds before falling asleep and while I’m asleep. Strangely I prefer the sound of people talking than music. If I do not do this “ritual” I catch myself thinking about many things that bother me and in the process, these thoughts prevent me from falling asleep easily. Unless I’m too tired to think, this is what I do every night to make sure I get a good night’s rest. Especially now that I’m all alone in a small apartment. You don’t want to hear creepy noises when you’re by yourself too, do you?

From 11:00pm onwards, after I’m done working on my freelance projects, I always watch a movie or two. I don’t know why that is but I’m really more into films and TV series than listening to music (I’m so outdated I’ve only heard of “Nine Inch Nails” when I learned about their upcoming concert here in Manila). The main reason I bought that external hard drive was so I can have something to store all my movie files in. And I know it’s not the noblest thing to do, but I download movies everyday so I have something to watch at night (you might say that I’m abusing my laptop, yes). I’m not even referring to movies that had just been released but old ones.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been brainstorming for movie titles to add to my collection. These are movies that I’ve seen years ago and would love to see again. Most of these are Rom-Com, cos I’m simply a sucker for that. Here are my recommendations in no particular order:

Bedazzled
Blast From The Past
Fools Rush In
The Whole Nine Yards
The Whole Ten Yards
The Terminal
If Only
Serendipity
A Beautiful Mind
There’s Something About Mary
A Cinderella Story
The Kid
Anger Management
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Coyote Ugly

… among others! Aren’t sappy old movies the best? Currently enjoying the TV series “Chuck”, too. I’d love to know your recommendations. =)

What I Really Think of the Twilight Saga

Joni — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:09:07 +0000

My friend Rita, who just celebrated her first blog anniversary, showed me this funny spoof of Twilight’s book cover. LOL.

While it’s true that I called myself a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling saga a couple of times before, I am not offended every time I read a bad review about it. Truth is, I also have my own set of negative opinions of the Twilight series, especially when it comes to the “values” it teaches. I don’t, of course, think that I am actually that naive to be influenced by it, I just wish the kids who read it are smart enough to distinguish right from wrong. For one, giving up everything (your life, your youth, your family, your parents’ trust, academics, opportunities, among others) for that seemingly perfect guy (vampire or otherwise!) is severely frowned upon. Come on Bella, aren’t you supposed to be the strong, independent one?

I’ve also been openly admitting that I didn’t like the 4th book, Breaking Dawn. In one word, I’d describe it as ridiculous. I could enumerate the reasons why I think that is but I’m afraid I just might get flamed by other Twilight fans out there! Hee. I believe Cathy Deen’s review about it pretty much sums up what I think.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Twilight saga. It’s just that, Book 4 kinda ruined it for me. I feel that it was as if the first 3 books were written by one author, and the fourth by another. Prior to reading the last installment, I had a lot expectations of how the story could have ended. I guess I wasn’t too happy about the way the author made everything in Breaking Dawn too easy. It’s just too many “closures” and “conclusions” crammed into one book! But that’s just my opinion.

And what is this whole hullabaloo over Twilight versus Harry Potter about? Twilight is great in its own way, but Harry Potter is something else. The Harry Potter series may just be the best, most engrossing fiction I’ve ever read. Believe me, setting some time aside to read those seven fantastic, albeit thick, books is definitely worth it. And the final book (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) was wonderfully concluded. I love plots with lots of sensible twists and turns!

But even after having said all that, I’m still excited to see the Twilight movie that will premiere in Manila this Wednesday. I wanna see how they translated the novel into a movie — and to see how good (or bad?) Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart played Edward and Bella. After all, I did enjoy reading Stephenie Meyer’s first novel.

Btw, her other novel called The Host is actually pretty good too.

Feasting on Angsty Books

Joni — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 18:51:28 +0000

I just finished The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides but I didn’t realize until I researched about the book that it’s actually written way back in 1993. I bought it at National Bookstore after I caught a glimpse of this text just above the book’s title:

Now a major motion picture from Paramount Classics starring James Woods, Kathleen Turner, Kirsten Dunst, Josh Hartnett.

Yep, I’m a Josh Hartnett fan. I was crushing on Josh (Uh-huh, we’re on a first name basis) during his The Faculty days, I fell in love with him in Pearl Harbor, and then I wanted to marry him in Wicker Park. Lol. Apparently, The Virgin Suicides film was released in 1999. I guess I sidestepped that one. I can’t wait to see his upcoming movie called I Come With The Rain that they’re filming in Mindanao. And did you know that Jimmy Kimmel (da who?) said some insulting words about the Filipinos in his interview with Josh?

Anyway, the title of the book The Virgin Suicides says it all. It’s all about the untimely deaths of five sisters ages 13 to 17. The fact that all five of them committed suicide was disclosed early on in the book so the story actually revolved around the people outside their family who wondered why the girls were so determined to end their lives. It’s a depressing book and it kind of makes you want to reach out to the girls and just be a friend to them. Only you can’t. Heh. I guess there are lessons to be learned from it too, especially for parents on raising kids. People have to be more sensitive in recognizing the need of others (and the suicidal tendencies of some). As for the writer — Jeffrey Eugenides is simply brilliant.

The Virgin Suicides reminded me of the equally melodramatic non-fiction that I read last year called Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel. They also made a film out of this one with Christina Ricci as the main character. The book is about a girl who felt depressed but didn’t know why she did. She was leading a life that she can’t complain about, she had a relationship with a good man in which she felt insecure despite all the efforts he made, and she was on her way to becoming a successful career woman. But all that is useless because she JUST CAN’T STOP feeling depressed. She also attempted to kill herself many times just so she could put an end to her mind-numbing emotional instability. The problem was obviously psychiatric more than it is psychological and it took decades before they came up with a medication. And then her life dramatically changed after she started taking Prozac. After that, the author segues into sharing the sad fact about thousands of kids in the US (hence the title Prozac Nation) who are faking their condition just so they could get their hands on this “happy pill.” There’s a thin line between people who actually need the drug and those who just want to escape reality.

These two interesting books, despite the angst, went deep into the world of the depressed who are living a life that they just can’t stand. There’s clearly something missing in the lives of this kind of people that it makes me sad. It also made me think of this one friend I have back home who always feels depressed. I gotta reach out to her more.

Do you know someone who feels this way too?

Desktop Free View, Stardust, Heroes, and More

Joni — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 09:49:26 +0000

So I’ve finally read Stardust and have seen the movie. My reaction? To quote Ade‘s comment on my previous post, it’s the “BEST. MOVIE. EVER.”

This is probably the first time I’m gonna say that I liked the film version better than the book, and probably the only time I’m gonna admit that the long-haired Tristran looked better than the short-haired one (I usually like guys with short, clean-cut hair, lol). So if you hadn’t seen Stardust, go see it now! The special effects are prettier when viewed on the big screen. Don’t you think Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer are just perfect for their roles? Hehe. :)

Here’s my favorite quote from the movie:

You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn’t true. I know a lot about love. I’ve seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate… It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves… You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and… What I’m trying to say, Tristan is… I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I’d know it for myself. My heart… It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it’s trying to escape because it doesn’t belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I’d wish for nothing in exchange – no fits. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.

I couldn’t help but smile after Yvaine said that line. I even think it’s kind of Biblical. Lol!

I’m happy that I was able to watch a good movie lately. I’m starting to get tired of the usual TV shows I watch. Prison Break is becoming dull. I watch it just out of habit now, and not because I’m intrigued. Killing off Sara Tancredi was a big mistake, too. Yeah, I understand that the Sarah in real life has already shifted priorities.. But still, I think it’s pretty lame how her death sprang up out of nowhere. And after all that Sara and Michael have been through?? How could you?! Lol.

Heroes is still exciting, but I can’t help but scoff every time they reveal a connection between this character and that character.. And that this character is the son of a friend of that character’s father… Know what I mean? Every time that happens, I can’t think of a more fitting background music than, “It’s a small world after all!” There’s really no surprise there as Heroes and Lost‘s creators are one and the same.

Lately, I haven’t really been enjoying Grey’s Anatomy mainly because of Izzie and George. I mean, if they like each other so much, they should have hooked up waaay before George married Callie, right? It’s a bit annoying that they’ve decided to embark on their secret love affair now when they’ve been best friends for so long. OK, maybe I’m just letting personal convictions get in the way. Sorry! On the other hand, I’m hoping McSteamy won’t be leaving Seattle Grace soon. :D

Please don’t hate me for saying this.. but I still enjoy watching Desperate Housewives. I really do. But hey, if you (still) find this TV series offensive, forget what I said. I’m not about to start an argument with anyone. And I’m not gonna talk about my thoughts on the recent racial controversy. That’s really not the point of this post. :)

House is definitely next on my list. Now if only I could find time to get the DVD…

Meme: Desktop Free View

I was tagged by Tina and Jaypee ages ago. The Desktop Free View instructions are:

A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.

You can do a screen capture by:

[1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).

[2] Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V).

[3] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.

B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.

C. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.

D. Add your name to this list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.

This is the desktop wallpaper on my laptop (click to enlarge) →

As you can see, it’s just one of the default wallpapers of Sony Vaio. Jaypee told me that “For someone who’s into design, I didn’t expect you to use default wallpapers.” What can I say? I love the simple yet classy look of my wallpaper. Halata bang adik ako sa Vaio? Hehe!

I’m trying my best not to clutter my desktop and my documents. I hope they stay neat that way, as I’m known to have a very messy habit of running things. :P

At work, this is my desktop view (click to enlarge) →

Yep, that’s Heroes. I just got that wallpaper from some website, I forgot where exactly. I’m running 1280×800 widescreen resolution on my laptop (which I think is perfect when working with Photoshop), and 1280×1024 on my PC at work, thus the slight difference. Off-topic survey question: Is anyone still using 800×600?

Neil Gaiman’s Stardust

Joni — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 16:29:05 +0000

Neil Gaiman instantly became one my favorite authors after I read his novel Neverwhere a few years ago. I wanted to read more of his books but I kind of lost interest after I was done with American Gods. Its strange, too-manly plot didn’t really appeal to me. His other best-selling novels (Smoke & Mirrors, The Sandman, and Anansi Boys) were very tempting too, but because of prejudice I always ended up getting a book by another author. Heh. Then when I learned that they were making the Stardust film (which I included in this list) based on his novel with the same title, I knew that that one was good and was worth reading. I mean, why else would they make a movie out of it, right? And with big Hollywood stars as part of the cast too: Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert DeNiro and Claire Danes.

Anyway, I said that I would get a copy of Stardust before the movie comes out, but forgetful me never got to it — until I saw that it’s already showing in theaters! So yeah, I just bought my copy yesterday. And if you know me, you won’t find it strange that I always make it a point to read the book first before I go see the film. Not all the time, though. Hehe! Looks like I won’t be able to finish the book on time before the cinemas remove Stardust from their movie listings (unless they decide to extend it). Fine then, I can catch it on DVD, or a year or two from now on HBO. Lol.

PS: I know some of you have already read the book or seen the movie… No spoilers please! :P

Better Late Than Never

Joni — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 13:11:19 +0000

The Tooth Has Set Me Free

So my minor surgery went fine. I’m still alive! Which means I get to keep the stuff I included in my “last will and testament“. lol. The dentist was very good, very nice, and very patient. But those didn’t stop me from being nervous and teary-eyed the whole time! I almost pulled myself up when I saw him holding the injection. It was huge, I tell you. From that point on, I had my eyes closed and responded only to the sound of the dentist’s voice. Yes, he did some incision, pulled the tooth out, and stitched my gums together. Icky, I know. Fortunately, I didn’t feel (or see) a thing. It just feels a little weird though. Haha. It’s been two days since, and I haven’t felt any major pain yet. Maybe it’s because I’m regularly taking in painkillers and antibiotics. I just wish I don’t OD on them. lol.

Overall, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Okay, okay, all of you were right. I overreacted. I should have done this a year ago. But… it’s better late than never.

To Hogwarts and Back

I couldn’t sleep last Friday night worrying about my appointment with the dentist so I distracted myself by going back to my Harry Potter streak. I was wrapping up The Deathly Hallows by three in the morning despite my droopy eyes. Once I pop, I can’t stop! I can’t believe how much J.K. Rowling has made the story even more exciting than it already was prior to Book 7. She’s really creative. I hope Warner Bros finishes filming The Half Blood Prince soon, so they can start filming The Deathly Hallows. Hehe. Kudos to the best book series I’ve ever read!

I should probably admit too that the deaths in the book made me very sad like they did everybody else. Even the part where Harry was saying his final goodbye to the Dursleys (where Dudley almost didn’t want to “leave” him behind) caused my eyes to sting. Who would think that the big fat fellow who’s been cruel to Harry since their diaper days can suddenly go all soft? Haha. I know that I’m one of the last people who have just read Book 7, but, like I said, it’s better late than never.

I was surfing YouTube the other night looking for special Harry Potter videos and found this interview. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson grow up so fast, don’t they? Pretty soon they’re gonna be taking more serious, grown-up roles. I know Daniel already did. And there’s another one coming up soon. Aw, I kinda miss the those little unkempt children in The Sorcerer’s Stone. Heh.

Try to catch the part where Daniel Radcliffe said he thinks Sebastian (of The Little Mermaid) was the blue and yellow fish. lol. Poor Flounder.

Mel Gibson’s The Patriot

Joni — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 07:37:11 +0000

For the past two weeks, my dad has been asking me to get him a DVD copy of Mel Gibson’s The Patriot. As to why, I don’t know. My mom and I think that his desire to see the The Patriot again is one of the “cravings” he’s having nowadays. He’s also craving for different kinds of food — the new chicken steak at Jollibee, the combo meal at Greenwich, the thin-crust Shakey’s Special pizza, the all-you-can-eat buffet at Dad’s, and the noodles at Chowking to name a few. What can I say? TV and billboard advertisements are very effective. lol.

Anyway, last night I had the chance to purchase a DVD copy of The Patriot. He was asleep when I came home so I just gave it to him first thing this morning before I took a shower. The minute I gave it to him he immediately turned the player on, inserted the DVD, and sat comfortably on his chair to watch the film. My mom and I had to laugh because he was acting like a little kid who just received a fancy present.

After I’ve taken my bath and changed into my “work clothes”, I headed downstairs to eat breakfast and watch with them. They were already at the part where Benjamin Martin’s (Mel Gibson’s character) son, Thomas, was shot in the chest by Col. William Tavington because Thomas was trying to free Gabriel (his older brother) from the hands of the soldiers who captured him. That scene is probably the most dramatic part of the movie. Benjamin Martin rushed to catch Thomas just before he fell to the ground. His little brothers and sisters also witnessed Thomas die in their father’s arms and they were all crying. And it’s needless to say that the movie also made me shed some tears! And it was only 7:15 in the morning!

The scene right after that one is probably the highlight of the movie. After the cold-hearted soldiers left, Mel Gibson’s character was forced to avenge his son’s death and free his other son from the hands of the British. He, with the help of his two other sons (who are very young to be holding guns!) went ahead of the soldiers (who held Gabriel captive) and positioned themselves behind the bushes for an attack. Martin handed each a musket and instructed them to “Aim small, miss small” when taking a shot at the “redcoats”, while he kept running back and forth to create distraction and kill more of them. There were 20 British redcoats, and it was only Martin and his two little boys who killed them all (except for one who lived to tell the tale about “the ghost in the forest”).

Not to sound as though I like watching people kill each other, but that particular scene was just so cool. The kids were very brave that you can’t help but love them.

The Patriot may be just a “one man’s revenge” melodrama and is not really about the whole Revolutionary War in the 18th century, but the story is, evidently, focused more on “family”. Martin is a widower who barely had help in raising his seven children. More than just America’s freedom (with help from the French) The Patriot is about a father who was willing to do everything he can to protect his children.

It was nice to see The Patriot again. I can see why my dad loves it so much.

Transformers and “Boypren”

Joni — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 17:38:43 +0000

Oh my – this is like the best superheroes movie ever! Okay, maybe not the best, but definitely one of the best. Maybe even better than the latest Spiderman (which, I hate to admit, kinda sucked) Fantastic Four, and Superman films combined. And yesterday there I was thinking my brother was just overreacting when he buzzed me in YM just to tell me not to miss Transformers and go see it asap. lol.

And I did. I did love it!

I like the way the huge, strong and powerful Autobots (that transform in a manner that just blew everyone away) felt sympathetic toward the humans and even formed a friendship with them. I also wouldn’t mind having a car like Bumblebee. I can then ask him to change form every once in a while.

And who knew the Internet can influence aliens too? When asked how they were able to learn to speak English, they said it was through the worldwide web (they probably downloaded Babel fish!); and when asked how they found the “cube”, they said they found the item on eBay. lol. I have to agree, you can find almost anything you need on the Internet.

Moving on – there’s a new video over at HappySlip.com! Go see Christine, her parents and auntie discuss the topic of “Boypren“.

Incidentally, Josh Verdes, her cousin, composed a new song called “Save Me”. Gotta remember to add that one to my collection. I’m such a fan. :)
