Sparks!

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

Hehehehe, I just have to write this. A few seconds ago, I decided to eat a scrumptious ensaymada (what ever the spelling is, I don’t care) for breakfast. I’m a sucker for these kinds of pastries. Anyways, I placed it in a small plate then popped it in the microwave. Usually, after pressing the “START” button, I leave it there until it beeps! But HAHAHA, SPARKS started to light up the edges of the plate, as I see it, hehehe I realized the the plate has gold trimmings on the side and immediately turned the oven off! Hahahaha really, first time to happen to me!

TRANSFORMERS The Movie — Disappointing

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

DISAPPOINTING! Yup, that’s what I felt when I saw the movie, I don’t care if it was directed by Michael Bay, well, he didn’t give the movie much effort, if you’re going to ask me.

I love the TRANSFORMERS! I love how they transform and of course, I love hearing that iconic transformation sound. Unfortunately, in the movie, that sound was not often heard of.

But not all was disappointing. Having to see my favorite robots interact with real human is a blast, and of course to hear OPTIMUS PRIME’S voice after missing it all these years is definitely EXCITING to the EXTREME!

Speaking of OPTIMUS PRIME, why the hell did they put lips on him?! That RESONATING voice is there because of the FACE PLATE! It’s just not OPTIMUS PRIME with his lips moving!

And the transformation? Heck I can’t figure out how the hell these robots transform! The kids then (that includes me), were so amazed at the cartoon series then because they (us) were able to figure out how the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS transform into robots and vice versa. Now, I can’t even follow how BUMBLEBEE and OPTIMUS PRIME transform, considering they’re two of the easiest way to figure out. Jazz (the original Porsche) together with RATCHET and IRONHIDE are a bit tricky even in the original series.

And what’s with the PROTOFORM? Heck, if they can just choose what form they want when they get to earth, then why do they have to stick with one form? I don’t get it!

Oh and the names, why not just stick to the original names and their original forms? If they have to make up a new character, why not give it a new name instead of using older names that is not match with the original ones. I’m talking about, DEVASTATOR, hey, that’s the CONSTRUCTICONS merged together, he’s NOT A TANK! FRENZY I would understand because he’s originally a robot tape of SOUNDWAVE (who I read somewhere will be in the next movie).

MEGATRON is ok, since he really has been changing shape in different generations. And how about BUMBLEBEE, he’s a VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE for crying out load, that’s him. According to Michael Bay, he would be compared to HERBIE, NOT! Nothing can be compared to HERBIE! But BUMBLEBEE is a robot that transforms into a BEETLE! That’s it!

Oh and where is the “…AUTOBOTS, TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!”

Whew, what a disappointment! Although, I will surely get a DVD copy, why? Well, just for the sake of having the live action TRANSFORMERS movie!

The Dress Code

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

I have never been into anything that will force someone into doing something. That includes DRESS CODE! I have never been a fan of DRESS into FAD! Except for one instance, when it comes to my religion and my faith.

Me and my family attend mass every sunday at the SHRINE OF JESUS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE right across the SM Mall of Asia. There, Msgr. Bobby Canlas has imparted to long time parishoners the importance of dressing “properly” in Church is such a common sense-type of explanation. If one, whatever the status in society is, will be meeting the President of the country, or anyone “important”, that person would try hard to look for a “decent” dress to show “respect” or “importance” to that “VIP”. Now, why can’t we do that to show RESPECT to our CREATOR?

If we think that wearing skimpy clothes in church is giving RESPECT to the LORD is proper, then I guess, these people really have lost it. Argue with me ’til death, but I will stick to following what I’ve been taught all these years, and that is, FEAR THE LORD and give HIM what is due to HIM!
