RFCOC #2: Ba-ba-ba...ba-ba-nana! Potatooo-ooohhh...

Despicable Me 2 is officially now showing in the Philippines! I can't wait to watch it! I'm such a big fan of the movie. I absolutely love each character. Who's not to love anyway? Gru, Agnes, the minions -- they're all adorable! I noticed, though, it's the minions that are gaining online popularity the most.

I attended the SM Toon Fest event in May just to see Tim and Dave in person. (I found out about it at the last minute. Good thing, the mall is just a 5-minute walk away from where I live.) I was probably the only 23-year-old present there. Haha! I don't really care.... Well, okay, yeah, I felt a bit shy lining up with kids, being the only 23-year-old to come up on stage to have a photo taken with the minions. But the moment I got close to them, I wanted to grab them by the shoulders and shake them and shout "YOU'RE SO FLUFFY, I'M GONNA DIIIIIIIIEEE!!!" ;D

Here's my Random Fun Caught on Cam #2:

Even my co-workers cannot get enough of them. Just take a look at this minion collection from McDonald's we have in our studio:

I also found out that the minions are singing on some tracks in Despicable Me 2's OST. The minions singing "I Swear", "Y.M.C.A.", and "Another Irish Drinking Song"? Buying!

You're probably thinking it's all gonna be gibberish, but a video of the minions speaking in different languages (even in Filipino!) went viral last week. Will you take a look at that, they're actually polyglots!

*Sigh* If only I can take them home... and the plotting of an evil plan, ala Gru, begins. (insert evil laugh)

now, how to kidnap those minions?

Thank You for New Windows

Photo by Thea Sandoval Who doesn't love beautiful and peaceful fall mornings? All mornings spent at home are beautiful to me, but the magnificence of the autumn season just magnifies its simple beauty. Last night, we had a fun, gleeful Thanksgiving celebration with my parents' Couples for Christ family. This morning I woke up to an opposite ambience -- it was quiet and calm, with sunrays coming through the windows and all. I sat beside our living room window and I said a little "thank you" inside that all is well with my soul again. I started thanking God for all His small blessings that we fail to notice when our lives become a little less than perfect. Art from seedsoffaith.com It's been months since I was able to really stop and appreciate the beauty of life and all the gifts that were given to me. I thought this morning was the perfect time for me to reflect and say a " salamat " (thank you) for everything. First and foremost, I am thank...

In Oh Canada...

source : canada -day . ca It's Canada Day! So of course, I'm writing about it today! ;) When I was still in Canada, I always talked about the Philippines. I didn't know if it annoyed them or not, but I couldn't stop telling my friends there about how beautiful my home country is. Funny, now that I'm back home, I talk about Canada -- A LOT. I'm starting to realize that even though I badly wanted to come back to the Philippines this year, there are so many things I love (and miss) about my other home as well... and here they are: 1. Canada brings me closer to nature. There are so many places in the Philippines that will make you feel very close to nature too. But the thing is, sometimes, you have to travel for hours and cross many seas before you reach those places, unlike in Canada. I live on the Mountain (Hamilton Mountain to be precise), so whenever I want to enjoy the view of the whole city in 3D, all I need to do is cross the street and go ...

Cinemalaya 2013 Experience

photo courtesy of Iona Magsombol So Cinemalaya 2013 has just wrapped up. Congratulations to all the winners! :) I'm happy because, finally, I was able to attend a real film fest in the Philippines. Well, I've watched a few films at the MMFF the past few years, but, it's not really... it just doesn't feel like... uhmmm ... Anyway, I've been an attendee of film fests abroad, and what kind of Filipino would that make me if I didn't support our own now that I had the chance? Given my work schedule, I was able to watch just three films at Cinemalaya this year -- which, btw, are all superb: SANA DATI courtesy of cinemalaya.org Thanks to the director of the film, Jerrold Tarog, for giving us free tickets to Sana Dati's gala night! (The company I work for co-produced the film Senior Year with Jerrold. Hence, the association and the free tickets. Hihi .) I'm happy that this was the first film I watched because it made me want to watch ...
