Eavesdropping at the opticians
An old lady was having her eyes tested and came out to show her son and another woman how she looked wearing the test glasses -- you know, these ones:
Mother: Bagay ba sa akin? Hehehe! (Does this suit me? Hehehe!)
Son: Ma, you look like a bunny rabbit!
Woman: Yah, banny rebbit! Hahaha!

Took a taxi home after that and the driver said to me:
Saang fart po ng Pioneer kayo? (Which fart of Pioneer are you headed?)

Watching Wowowee's Miss Fitrum:
Question: Kung maihahalintulad mo ang sarili mo sa isang prutas, anong prutas iyon? (If you can relate yourself with a fruit, which fruit would that be?)
Contestant: Maihahalintulad ko ang sarili ko sa isang mangosten. (I can relate myself to a mangosten.)
(Dearie, it's mangosteen. With a double "e.")

My verdict
I had no idea who Max Payne is -- never played the game. I thought he would be somebody like "The Punisher." Guess I was dead wrong, but that's ok.
After seeing the blockbuster-friendly Eagle Eye (which, apart from the ending, is quite thrilling btw), I think that this adaptation of the game is horrid. I feel sorry for the game fans.
It played out like a cliche Pinoy action film --
Guy is a cop. Guy's wife and kid are murdered. Guy becomes emo. Guy hunts down the murderer still at large after 3 years. Murderer gets his ass kicked. The end. (Sequel is possible.)
It's like a bloomin' Ronnie Ricketts movie with Mariz haunting him in between scenes! All the action sequences were standard, too. It was so predictable.
To be fair, there are some good shots in Max Payne, but that's about it really. (The bf was disappointed that there weren't many "bullet time" sequences, as that was what set the game apart from the others apparently.)
This is quite strange.
If there's any doubt at all with the Kodak V1003's performance, I hope this article will shed some light on it. As I've mentioned before, it's a good daytime photography camera, but indoors or at night -- pfttt!
And don't even get me started about using it for action shots, it has the SLOWEST shutter speed ever in the history of technology (ok i'm exagerrating, but it sure feels like forever to me).
Back in da day
