Sometimes we want fantasy to pull us from reality.

The other day I watched The Backup Plan and I was surprised to see J. Lo in a role I've never seen her done before. She was all sorts of clumsy and gauche. Tripping over flat surfaces, falling to a puddle of icky water and such.

The story was rather modern. It’s not the kind of romantic-comedy where a woman meets the most perfect single guy, fall madly in love with each other then live happily ever after.

Well, you know movies. Of course, in the end, they still live happily ever after.

Anyway, the film was about a woman named Zoe who had herself inseminated fearing that she may never find Mr. Right and end up alone for the rest of her life. She then accidentally stumbles upon would be Mr. Right after the whole insemination process. They click. Everything's fine and dandy. Sparks were flying everywhere...until she finds out that she is INDEED expecting. The conflict starts from there and I really don't want to split details. No spoilers here so keep reading.

I didn't hate the film. Honestly, I sort of understand where Zoe is coming from and her fear to open up to people.

I've seen many people walk out of my life. Some of them I don't want to let go but that's just the way life goes. There were a number of betrayals here and there which made it really hard for me to trust people. It’s like I can't let my guard down, that I always have to watch my back or something. It made me less friendly and sometimes I push or maybe even drive people away. A very weird emotion that I know even if I don't explain, almost everyone can relate and understand.

This is so One Tree Hill but it's the truth.

See, that's the thing about that show. Exaggerated but mirrors real life.
LIFE...only with a bunch of good looking people, superfluous money, and a much magnified area of sex.

I'm blabbing now.

I'm not home at the moment.
This is currently where I lounge and do nothing.

Say YES if you do. Say YES if you don't.

June is nearly a month away and if you’re a fan, you probably know what that means.

June means another battle, another love triangle and another Team Bloodsucker or Team Werewolf scuffle.

The third installment from the Twilight Saga is finally hitting the big screen on June 30, 2010. Eclipse’s many breathtaking and heart pounding teasers are of course googable and can be found in Yahoo and YouTube.

But the thing that ignite the fans reaction is not the trailer itself but is IN the trailer itself. No, it is not Robert Pattinson's hypnotizing voice nor Taylor Lautner's to-die-for abs. As many of you all know, Edward is proposing to the love of his life and therefore must present a ring. Yes, the ring has the most awaited scene in the movie. Thanks to Stepehenie Meyer and Infinite Jewelry Co., fanatics out there can now own a replica of the most talked about piece of jewelry ever since Titanic’s Heart of the Ocean.

The ring is available in these prices:
"fashion" for $35
"fine" for $479
"genuine," for a real diamond ring priced at $1,979


Who knows? Maybe after a 100 years or so, the illustrious ring would be worth millions.

MUST SEE: The Losers

A lot of critics definitely didn't like it but I love it. If you're a fan or at the least bit interested on comic-turned-movie flicks, then you must see this film. They are no superheroes but with the talent and guts they have, they might as well be.

Lock and load, people.

Oh, well. There's still tomorrow.

I've been eying on Sony's e-book for months now. I saw the gadget maybe 2 or 3 months ago and fervently hoped that one day, I would see them at some nearby widget store calling out to me. My waiting didn't wan. My excitement on taking home the thingamajig makes me all anxious and nervous at the same time.

Now, because I feel like I've been waiting for too long. I finally decided to call Sony Philippines and inquire about it myself. I checked a couple of stores way back and the staff knows squat on the subject. After a minute of waiting on the phone, this guy I was talking to said that the Reader was never launched here in the Philippines. Apparently, it's only available in the U.S. and some other country I don't remember. He also said that a number of people have called asking the same thing. At the back of my mind I was thinking "Why the hell is it still in U.S.?". According to him, the management has yet to decide whether it's a yay or nay for the e-book. I think he lost my attention the second he quipped "NOT AVAILABLE".

I wanted to have one because there are books I want to read that are no longer in the market. Ever since Kindle was born, it became a tad easier to get a copy of the classics and archetypal originals.

I guess I'm gonna have to wait a bit more.
Oh, well.
