Caloric overdose coming up?

December 31st, 2007 | No Comments

Well, if ever there’s a thing, the traditional media noche this 1st of January 08 (and that’s tomorrow) will surely be one! My mother said that we should prepare sweets, other than the round fruits to usher in the new year to bring the sweet life all year round. God, I’m already  thinking of the rainbow cake, cupcakes, leche flan, ice cream, pasta and etc. that will definitely be on the table tomorrow.

Movies watched: November 07, Part 3 of 3

December 27th, 2007 | No Comments

18. That’s the number of movies that I have watched in the month of November. Two are pre-1950 classics from France and Italy. A 1969 US movie also makes the cut. These are then followed by 1990s movies then recent ones from 2000 and above. There is a Pinoy film included, two from Latin America while another two are from/with Irish themes. Half were screened in theaters while the rest were viewed at home.

Starting with this post, I will be doing this kind of monthly summary.
