Did I ever tell you that one of my favorite movies was Kill Bill? Yep, both volumes. Well, shit, David Carradine, the actor who plays Bill, just passed away. Reports say he was found dead in a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, hanging in the closet with a cord used with the curtains in his hotel suite. This is very sad news indeed. And he was in Bangkok filming a new movie, too, called “Stretch.” R.I.P., Bill. You will be missed.

I have recently taken into running to keep my body “alive.” I have this weird condition wherein my muscles would just lax, and I can’t help falling asleep. It’s not a very good thing at all. Almost drives me crazy. It is affecting both my personal life and work. I figured I needed something to keep myself “active”, so aside from the chocolate bars and energy drinks I’ve started stocking up on in the fridge lately, I intend to run for an hour, every day, starting at 4 AM till I can be sure that I am fit and healthy, without the dreaded condition that so haunts me now.
Also, a quick update to my “To Buy List“, I have removed a lot of the items I listed earlier and have come to a much shorter list now. Included in my new list is a real drum set, and the rest are just professional tools that I really need for my job, and nothing else. I will post it on another day.
I can’t believe everything is happening so fast… it was all a dream before. But now I really am a professional blogger, with the liberty of spending all day at my computer, spreading my ideas, supporting my beliefs, keeping myself educated and entertained, and making a decent living out of it. Later today, I’m going to an event that’s going to be held on a boat at Pier, tomorrow I’m going to the Hotel Intercontinental at Makati.
In a week, I’ll be in Taipei for Computex, covering news for EeePC.net. ‘Course, I’m going to keep writing for Electronic Pulp, too, but in the next few weeks I think my writing will mostly be for EeePC.net, as I try to find a suitable contributor for my little gadget blog.
I honestly can’t believe it. Me, hiring another blogger and paying good money for his services? It’s like I’m really in… well, I expected this to happen, but I just cannot get over it.
Well, gotta run. I’ve got a long road ahead of me.

I just learned that Angels and Demons will be showing in cinemas today. I think I’ll be able to see it, and after watching the trailer, I believe it will be better than the movie version of The Da Vinci Code. To be honest, I thought the DVC movie was really bad. But I have somewhat high hopes for this one–it’s my favorite book of the two.
This movie has been rated R-13 by the MTRCB, which means anyone by the age of 13 will be able to watch it sans an accompanying guardian. Also, it will be shown in all cinemas across the country. In theory, this should be great since teens at such a young age will learn things that I learned when I was already in college–the Dark Ages, the lengths to which the Catholic Church went to silence its detractors, the treasures kept up to this day both on the inside and the outside of the Sistine Chapel, and the amount of history kept hidden from most of the world by the walls surrounding Vatican City. Unfortunately, kids these days have turned mostly deaf. Most who will see this movie and all that it presents will most likely set it aside not five minutes after walking out of the theater. And no, talking about it with your date in watching the movie doesn’t count–I highly doubt if most of the people who will watch this movie will even bother fact-checking their beliefs which they have kept to themselves for so long.
That said, I still hope Angels and Demons at least opens a few eyes and doesn’t get taken entirely for its entertainment value. I would recommend anyone with money/time to spare to go see this today in cinemas. That is, if you can’t be bothered to read the book and take in all its ideas in more detail.
