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?

Typhoon Haiyan: Ways to donate if you live in Canada

#prayforthePhilippines Philippines needs help. I just left the Philippines to move back to Canada when the storm hit the country -- being away, this is the least I can do. As you all know, Super Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) made headlines around the world not just because it is one of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded in history, but also because it had caused great devastation to many towns in the Philippines, and killed thousands and thousands of Filipinos. Even though the storm had left the Philippine Area of Responsibility, many are still in danger of getting sick or dying because many are without home, food, clothes and even clean water right now. Video from CNN It is known that Canadians are among the most generous of people in the world. Let us show, once again, how compassionate we all are by donating to the typhoon victims. I have compiled links to different NGO sites where you can forward your monetary donations. Please feel ...

Lessons we twentysomethings could learn from Mandela

Source: NelsonMandela.org A few months back, I saw Nelson Mandela (also known as Madiba or Tata) on the cover of Reader's Digest and immediately bought a copy. I've always been like that. I love reading and watching news and documentaries about the world's greatest leaders. I do it because of course, one, there's the fascination. [The] fascination with their illustrious lives; their successes and the many failures and challenges they faced. I look up to them because they show me the kind of leader I want to be like. Second, there's the learning. Despite being different from many of us, one fact remains the same -- they are also humans who have strengths and weaknesses, just like us, and we can learn from their experiences. Going back to Mandela, I felt sad upon reading at that time that he was ailing, so just imagine how sad I got when I heard the news about his passing. I know a lot felt the same. I was sad not only because he is Mandela, ...

Happiness in a cup

photo by Thessa Sandoval I'm a certified tea lover. Truth is, I used to ignore tea. I have an overly sensitive tummy and when I was younger, my lola (grandma) often told me that drinking tea would do my tummy some good, but I didn't take her advice. I started loving it when I moved to Canada. Since it's freezing cold there, especially during winter, a hot drink in your hand is a staple. I don't drink coffee and I can't have hot chocolate all the time (because, as I've said, my tummy's ultra sensitive and having hot choco all day will set it off like a ticking bomb), so my last option is to have tea... and that's how I fell in love with it. It's true, love can be learned. Hihi . I love it so much now that I would visit the Vintage Tea Room on Locke St. in Hamilton with my friend Ayeza and pay for tea reading afterwards!
