Lea Salonga and other celebrities stand up against breast cancer

Hmm..I've worked for a photography studio for more than a year (plus some web designing years) so I know from a distance if a picture is Photoshopped or not.

Sheez, she looks like Gretchen Barretto here. That mere observation made it worse! Urgh! Maybe it's the lighting though.

Well anyway, it doesn't matter. I still love Lea and I have seen this magazine a few weeks back. It's just that even if I bought it then, I may not be able to scan it.

It's nice to know Lea is up against breast cancer. I actually felt guilty I wasn't able to put up the pink ribbon on my banner for October. It's never too late though, I'll be going home this weekend to fix the banner.

Special thanks to PEP & Marie Claire

The Mutant Chronicles

Agent J & I went to see this one last Wednesday night. Biglaan 'cos medyo late na kami nakarating ng Megamall. We were to watch "Bangkok Dangerous" but were 5 minutes off so we opted to watch this one.

I found the movie kinda stressful on the chest. I think I must not watch movies like these 10 years from now unless I do something about my heart/blood pressure issues.

Anyway, the lead actor is amazingly familiar, Thomas Jane. I looked up his profile and learned he appeared on "Dreamcatcher" which I liked, well a bit. Medyo morbid din yung movie, hehe!



Agent J immediately concluded this movie is a "low-budget" movie. I was actually astonished kasi ok naman 'yung effects. Except for the blood, which I find very fancy. I thought they were simulating a game-feel effect since the movie was based from an RPG with the same name.

The movie is fast-paced though I was a bit saddened John Malkovich has a very short-lived role here. And the character Brother Samuel (played by Ron Perlman) was funny because his other movie "Hellboy 2" was also playing alongside this movie.

When Agent J & I bought the tickets for "Mutant Chronicles", that's the time I remembered we haven't watch "Hellboy 2" yet. Darn! Well, maybe next time. I actually have lost count how many movie nights Agent J and I had.
