I came across a trailer to a film called "Let's Scare Jessica To Death" (1971) a good old' Friday scare-all movie. Dear reader, please pass the popcorn. I wouldn't watch this just so soon but my trolling senses are tingling The first thing that came to mind when I read the title was the 1974 Filipino film titled "Patayin Sa Sindak Si Barbara" which directly translates in English as "Scare Barbara to Death". The two films have completely different plots. Which got me asking folks from the Cine [..] > read more

So you hate "Hot Problems"?

Published on 2012-05-17 04:41:00

It may not make any sense but compared to the original I managed to get through the whole song. I came across "Hot Problems" through a CNN report and I could not help but see for myself how bad it really is. "Hot Problems" was made just for fun, I can respect that. On the [..] > read more

I am on the 1st week of my "serious" job hunt since I am already easing out of my recovery from vasculitis. The job market is big but I am starting to see conflicts in the jobs I wish to pursue from the degree I attained. The jobs I seek are mostly design jobs that are requiring degrees of fine arts, IT and believe it or not engineering.

I am recently asked by a generous soul if I am looking for a digital camera (^u^).
