I bought three blue ray movies sometime last week and they’re great! I bought Rain Man, The Crow and Face Off and watched it all in just one night. My dad would also install a HDMI wall plate in our living room to organize the cables and I’m gonna help him install it when I get back in a week.

The movies were great and the quality is good. I really had fun doing a movie marathon all by myself. Haha! And I’m looking forward to more when I get back from my trip. I’ll tell you all about it after I’m done.

Yep, finally I got my family to watch LOTR… the three extended version! Haha! My nephew had a sprain on his ankle so he was home the whole with nothing to do. So we watched it. Then my dad and sister eventually got interested too. And even the two little kids watched it too… not the whole movie of course but there were some scenes that got their attention. And my niece, who’s 5 years old, already knows some of the characters… she said she likes the 4 Hobbits.

And speaking of Hobbit… do you know Sean Astin? The one who played Samwise Gamgee? Well, he’s also the lead role in one of my favorite movies (especially when I was still a kid) The Goonies!

His character is Mikey. He was so cute when he was a kid and I remember having a crush on him. Haha! But he’s bigger now… hmmm… maybe he should start drinking diet pills. Haha! He also played the role of Drew Barrymore’s brother in 50First Dates.

I watched the Phantom of the Opera yesterday and I’m loving Gerard Butler! He’s so gorgeous! Haha! He’s also the main character in the movie 300. Anyway, my friends may think I’m weird but I really like watching musicals, and I once dreamed of being a part of a musical. Another one of my wishful thinkings. In Phantom of the Opera, I love the songs Think of Me and Music of the Night. But I don’t like the singing voice of the Phantom in the movie, it’s just not powerful enough but he really is gorgeous! Anyway, a few years I downloaded the whole script of the Original London Musical, I printed it and listened to the whole soundtrack so I could understand the story very well. Haha! I like the songs there better than the ones in the movie. I know I still have it hidden somewhere… I might just dig it up again and listen to the whole soundtrack again. I’m actually watching the movie again, well, not really watching but I have it as my background music, hoping it will inspire me to scrap.

On another note, this totally not related to the Phantom of the Opera… my mom will be arriving soon! Yay! 28 more days and she’s back home! And next month, some of my aunts and uncles will be coming home too for a vacation and I’m really excited cause we might go on a road trip! I wonder if there are cell phone amplifiers available here in the Philippines. My provider is Globe and I have to admit their signal really sucks when I’m in the province. As if I’m expecting many calls… Haha! Anyway, I’ll just go look when I go to Greenhills this weekend.Have a great week everyone!

I watched Spiderwick last night and it was fun and nice. The suspense kept me awake. I really love the cute creatures there!!! I haven’t read the book yet and hope I’ll be able to grab a copy soon. I’ve read that the book is better than the movie, so I can’t wait to read it. I really liked it and I’m sure my niece and nephew would love it too! Anyway, here’s more about the movie…

When he, Simon and Mallory investigate what’s really going on, they uncover the fantastic truth of the Spiderwick estate and of the creatures that inhabit it.

I’ve been watching the extended of The Lord of The Rings trilogy. I finished it already the other day and I’m watching it again… I missed it. I have the three extended DVD versions of the movie and I also have the books, including The Hobbit. I have a few LOTR toys and I also have a copy of the three complete recordings and annotated score soundtracks. And below are my favorite characters from the movie. Of course, I love all the characters but most especially these guys…

That’s Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom and David Wenham. Yumminess! And I’m such a sucker for unruly, curly hair… another reason why I love these movies so much! And here’s my favorite of them all…

Yes I’m a tree hugger and I’m a Treebeard fan! On another note, I’m planning a trip next year and I’m really serious about it. And I’d love to have this…

I’m actually looking for one but I don’t think it’s available here in the Philippines. It is a PacSafe 85 Secure Bag Protector, an adjustable high-tensile stainless steel locking device, designed to cover and protect a variety of bags and packs from tampering, pilfering and theft. I almost always travel with a backpack because for me it’s more comfortable because I can bring it frees both my hands.
