Lost in Narnia

I received what is prolly one of the best Christmas presents I have ever received yesterday.

Sir Manny called me into his office yesterday to tell me that he managed to get premiere tickets to The Chronicles of Narnia for that night. I was surprised to know that there was a premiere, much more that it was only a few hours away. He only learned of it the night before from a friend. He offered them to me, knowing I am the Narnia fanatic (bordering obssession actually) in the office.

After securing the tickets came the task of looking for a companion. Since the thing was so last minute most of the people I asked already have plans. What made it worse was that I only know a handful of fans like me. The Lord eventually gave me someone, in the form of Lyka.

He is so smart. The place was studded with Kapuso talents, most note-worthy is Richard Gutierrez. I didn't mind them much, but my friend did. Lyka, you see, was a full-fledged Kapuso. What made her night was seeing Lander Vera-Perez (there with his wife Regine Tolentino and their kids). She has been crushing on him since she was 12 and it was the first time she saw him in person :p heehee

I enjoyed the movie very much. I can't wait to watch it again (darn the MMFF!). I wrote a quick review of the film on my site. Check it out if you want to know how I found the movie (but you prolly know that by now ;p)

Enough of the Drama, Life is Short

After almost a week of being down and cranky and angsty towards people who irked me, it's time to move on. If they can't take a hint, wala na akong magagawa. Bahala na si Lord sa kanila. Life is short, I might as well enjoy it. :D

Anyway, my real reason for posting is to 'promote' another batch of Indie articts that I have discovered this week :D

First is Robin Welty. Her music's a combination of pop and modern rock; her songs are, in fact, quite radio friendly. You can listen full MP3s of her songs on her official site :)

There's also Josh Hilliker. He reminds you of an upbeat Stephen Curtis Chapman. :) You can listen to some of his songs here.

There's also the band The Blackstones. Their music is like Jars of Clay meets The OC.

Oh yeah, there's also Jason Sweet. He's in the same league as Jeremy Camp, Third Day and Jars of Clay.

Most of the artists I've posted have their own pages in MySpace, The Spirit Radio, Grassroots Music and Indie Heaven.

I've uploaded samples of their songs (in full MP3, of course) in my site :) Check it out!

Let's Be Adults

I believe I am capable of a serious conversation. I may be all jokes and stuff, but when matters are pretty serious it is better if we sit down and talk about it. I don't like guessing games and mind games; I am not a mind reader people. Heck, I'm not even an empath; but I am not stupid.

So please, if you have anything you want to talk about, just approach me and let's deal with it in a mature, adult manner: by talking about it. It will make each one of us a whole lot of good if we deal with this now.
