Dangers of being a Journalist

It's tough being out there and covering the news especially in dangerous place like Iraq.

Correspondent Kimberly Dozier, cameraman Paul Douglas and soundman James Brolan - were reporting from outside their humvee and are believed to have been wearing their protective gear. Douglas and Brolan, both London-based, were killed. Dozier sustained serious injuries in the attack and underwent surgery at a U.S. military hospital in Baghdad. She is in critical condition, but doctors are cautiously optimistic about her prognosis. [CBS News]

Here in the Philippines, Journalist are getting killed one after the other and they didn't even have to cover any war.

The nanny PUK my cell

It's only small incident but I'm Pissed!

The nanny here (that looks after my niece) borrowed my cellphone last night. I didn't want to but I'm such a good one I said okay. But guess what? My phone got PUK! Shit! then she asked are you mad? Damn right I am! I was cursing. I didn't know what she did to my cellphone! obviously PUK it! Never gonna let that nanny use it again. It's a cheap ass cellphone but still it's mine and when somebody borrows something they better take care of it. I didn't wanna fix the cell so she couldnt use it but again out of the goodness of my heart I did. If I was in a good mood, I might've let it pass but was in a foul irritating mood!

Six degrees of separation and nothingness

It's halfway through another weekend and I just finished a long journal entry. I had a lot to babble. Rant actually. I'mjust pissed it's making me sad. I know I don't have the right to but I couldn't help it. I know I should be happy and excited but...my phone's not ringing. I haven't heard anything at all. It sucks!

I don't care about about Da Vinci Code

There's still a question mark whether the movie will be shown here or not.

Censor here has yet to grant it a release permit despite a slated opening date of May 18. "We will decide on the permit based on whether the film attacks a religion, creed or doctrine, and if it defames a person living or dead," the censor, Consoliza Laguardia, told local radio on Monday.

Personally I could care less. I haven't read the book.

I know it's a best seller. Millions of people read it (hence the excitement over the movie, I guess). My sister has the book here. Karl even bought one as well. Even my friends (few that I have) who've read it says it's exciting and controversial. Still it doesn't interest me. Jesus having an affair with Mary Magdalene and siring a child and all that. Heh. Riiiight! it's a work of fiction you know.

Lets and wait and see if the movie will be shown here. I think SM cinemas will not show if it's 18 and above. SM has the most number of cinemas here. But their patrons are mostly C and D crowd.

You know what, I thinkI'm more interested about A Scanner Darkly. One of the most anticipated summer movies.

*Edit.. Censors here gave Da Vinci Code R-18 classification. SM cinemas not showing it.

Movie was shown to the press at Cannes Festival. Veridct:
Critics hate it. Majority of them!

Reactions ranged from halfhearted admiration to boredom to derision among journalists.

Ouch!

Wishing on another lucky star

The song really is poignant. JD Souther wrote it.

I like the movie Permanent Record (one of the earlier films of Keanu Reeves along with Rivers Edge..and who says he can't act?!?!.. a lot! haha) it's one of those obscure sleeper movies that hardly anybody paid attention back then. It deals with teen life and how one deals with suicide. I've seen it a number times already. I wanna have the dvd of the movie and also Rivers Edge.

I'm done. I'll just blog when I have something to blog.

I remember, I remember and I saw it

There's something I wanna blog so I'm back from not really wanting to blog cos I have nothing to blog really..but I have one now...

If I heard it correctly, SM (mall of Asia...Pasay which will open sometime this month) will have an IMAX theater(?) and the first movie they're going to show there is Everest. First of all if there's gonna be IMAX here it will be the first one for the country. Second....I've seen Everest(the movie) already back in Sydney summer of 98 inside IMAX theater as well. Just brings back memories.

The interest about Mt. Everest is getting more and more exciting There's this Filipino guy, Romy Garduce attempting to be the first Filipino to climb the summit of Mt. Everest. The very top. Oh yeah hail the pinoy!
