500 Days of Summer

It's been awhile since I've watch a romantic comedy this good and appealing again. Nowadays few films capture the sensation of falling in love as well as this movie does.As you all know,Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Tom,a wannabe architect who falls in love with Summer (Zooey Deschanel) at the Los Angeles greeting card production company where both work. It’s flawlessly played romantic comedy, endlessly inventive, and if you’ve ever experienced the darker side of young love,incredibly true to life without coming off as cliched or patronizing. Kudos to director Marc Webb and writers Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber for bringing all sorts of cinematic tricks to a genre that normally has little use for them.

Reasons why this movie will eventually end up as the most original date movie of the year:

LSS of the Week: 30 Seconds to Mars - Kings and Queens

  
Yesterday I was looking forward to finish my task before Wednesday but then another FML moment ruin what could have been a weekend to look forward to. I'm like Sam Briggs in a way I tend to attract trouble. Bad things has happened in rapid succession this day. Feeling stressed out I was able to get rid of the blues by listening to the new song of the band 30 Seconds to Mars "Kings and Queens" from their upcoming album "This is War". Here is the unofficial lyrics of the song, quite short for song that's more than 5 minutes.

What I've Been Missing Lately

Lately  I've been ranting about  being so busy for this past few months with regards to work. I've been sacrificing my TV series time with work or sleeping time. These instances cause me to missed  a lot of TV series lately, to name a few season 2 of True Blood and  Leverage.  As you all know the second or third week of September paves way to another season of Dexter, Fringe, Heroes,Star Wars and don't forget to mention another new show called Glee.

For Fringe addicts see the Fringe promotional poster of season 2.

PBA 35th Season Preview Part 2

Here is the part 2 of my season preview of the coming PBA's 35th Season: 


Rain or Shine Elasto Painters   

WHLY: Swept in the quarterfinals. series by Sta. Lucia                           
Key Additions: Jeff Chan, Mark Telan and Mike
Hrabak,Nur Jam Alfad, Marcy Arellano and Jervy Cruz (Draft)

The Painters are well on their way to be one of the serious team contending for the crown.Their thin front line greatly improved with the addition of Jervy Cruz, Mark Telan and Hrabak. Consistency still remains a problem with their young core.

PBA 35th Season

The 35th season Philippine Basketball Association will open this coming Sunday, October 11. As usual off-season moves and promising new rookies will spice up the upcoming season. The killerfiller will make a season preview of each team that will be competing in the KFC Phillipine Cup.

 Alaska Aces

WHLY: Lost Game 7 Phillipine Cup Finals last year to the eventual
championTalk 'n Text.

Key Additions: Mike Burtscher (Draft)

Not so much changes as their line up is still in tact. I can see them sitting for the number 1 to 4 slots after the eliminations. Where the team goes depends on Willie Miller's performance this season. Sophomore Borboran and Dela Pena will provide energy on the bench as second stringers.

Spam Filter

Most of us are frustrated and annoyed when we received spam messages in our inbox in our personal email. Emails with advertisement, promos, adult content, and chain letters are always included in my deleted items so to speak. I personally get to read some of the messages that are down right funny. Here's an email that have been in my personal email for over 2 or 3 years now. This message never fails to make me laugh.

Life on Support

Today officially marks my one year working as an analyst/programmer-production support for an insurance company. I was actually hired as a analyst/programmer in development-deployment team for an up and coming project for the company but then due to unforeseen circumstances (aka recession) I end up in production support team. In a nutshell in any organization a production support group starts with the following process: submission of raised tickets, analysis and design phase, code unit testing, system-integration tests and the formal build. And just like any other job being in a production support has its pros and cons. Here's a rundown of the pros and cons of being in a production support group.
