December 2007

I can hardly catch up on movies and gladly I was able to see six movies at home the past two weeks.  300 and Transformers came out as suggestions in this post that I wrote in first week of the month.  A lot is in queue but I selected these randomly not singly based on my mood:

High School Musical:  It is like the original Grease or is Grease the new High School Musical? =D  I loved the movie, it is so teeny and songs are great.  A feel good film.  The lines that rock?

Gabriella: When I was singing with you, I just felt like… a girl.

Troy: You know, you even looked like one too!

Underdog:  The concept is so Pinoy or Filipinized.  Not just talking but a flying dog this time.  But the execution was well done.  Fairly entertaining.  Catch this story of humble superhero doggie.  Not Superdog, but Underdog.

December Boys:  This is an Australian film and no wonder that most of the scenes were shot in Kangaroo Island.  You would be surprised to see Harry Potter, err.. Daniel Radcliffe in a mature role here.  Kissing, smoking, running in almost skimpy shorts with the other boys.  Why the title?  Because he and other three friends in the orphanage are december celebrants.  70% of the film bored me.  The story showed a number of acquiantances and sad goodbyes and the final part could melt your heart.  Perfect finale.

Daddy’s Little Girls:  This is supposedly a comedy flick but I was all out bored.  Don’t see this.  A waste of time.

Euro Trip:  This is a cult film but I found it hillarious!  Also, the title served well its purpose.  A euro trip by American teeners meeting misadventures along the way till the main actor, Scott, met his “penpal” (harhar!) in Rome but not in Berlin.  Expect to see some flesh taken into rated funny scenes.  Catch this!

Cinderela III:  Every femme kiddo (and those young at heart) loves Cinderell-y!  There was a twist of time when the magic wand fell into the hands of the wicked stepmother of Cinderella.  Her stepsister Anastasia almost got married to the Prince who was under spell.  But Anastasia was a kinder but equally ugly (!) stepsister that she never wanted to tie the knot with someone who’s not really into her. 

What have you seen lately?

The past three days were a whirlwind.  This year was one of the few instances that I spent christmas in Metro Manila.  While it is a tradition that the whole clan do get together for the new year’s eve in Laguna, before christmas some of my dear ones chose to observe this special occasion in this crowded city for a change (wink).   We started with Trinoma moments last saturday, followed by Star City rounds the next day.  We did a considerable preparations for the noche buena on the following day plus the endless chit chats, movie marathon and pigging out at home.  On christmas day, after hearing the mass, we spent the whole day through an eating marathon and sharing of personal experiences the past months (years?) - catching up on each other’s lives.

Well, I have to say a tempo bye-bye to my festive mood and vacation mode from December 26  to 28, hello, workaholic!  The streets are not so busy and I just so miss the unregulated hours.  This week, I am expected to meet up with several friends … with the thought of someone leaving, almost everyone is dying to see you (harhar!)  I seriously hope I can grant all the invites.

So, how are you doing lately? =D

San Fo Treats, 2F Paseo Center

I got my first piece of caramel apple (the nutella one) of San Fo Treats from Fun Ranch stall in Glorietta.  I shared it with four pals.  While they were so impressed, I was not at all.  Well, the point of comparison was there as I did a feature on Czarina’s gourmet apples already. But I decided to have a second try when Rhea and I met in Paseo Center last week for my Apartment 1B treat.

Choco sprinkle, PhP80

Mallows, PhP25

I got mallows and choco sprinkle this time.  I didn’t like the mallows at all.  Go for Czarina’s for the same price, and try their wafer, too.  Much, much better.  On the other hand, San Fo Treats apple tasted better this time than my first try.  Compared with Czarina’s, their apples are more affordable, easier to eat as there is only a thin caramel coating (or sugar coating?!), but not that crunchy. But the sweetness would be just right for the not so sweet toothie.  

Why the big difference in price with Czarina’s apples?  The quality.  It is like tasting gourmet apple versus sugar coated apple.  

Get a bite!
