Ahon Pinoy offers better life for migrant workers, in a Manila Times article caught my attention sent by Leila Rispens-Noel of the Netherlands one of the lead initiator of the recent Migrant manifesto for Issue-based Electoral Contest. Isn’t that amazing a party list that will not just “represent” but “uplift” the life of migrant workers is like heaven sent, oh please someone wake me up. Is this for real? Well, I think the headline should have been with a question mark. Oh oh…. Here I go again getting jaded and really can’t believe that maybe it is possible that there are groups and individuals who really care for the milking cows errrr modern day heroes. I searched the...

Its not due to the elections for student council since its already done, there is something more terrible and horrifying than that. Yep. I'm saying it. End of Term Requirement Week.

Hot, sexy, stylish phones are on the rampage again. Starting with the remake of the RAZR V3i in the form of the V3xx. MotoRAZR V3xx This phone closely resembles one of the most popular phones among the Moto line. From the original RAZR to the luxury D&G V3i. Aesthetically, there's nothing not to like about this phone unless you happen to hate clamshells of all forms and sizes. What's new

Pinakapaborito ko si Kuh sa mga singers. Class siya. Saka maganda ang boses. Pero hindi mo nalaman na malungkot ang buhay niya bilang asawa ng apo ng dating Presidente Elpidio Quirino.

Kasal pala sila ng 16 years bago sila naghiwalay at marahil ay dahil sa druga na siya marahil dahilan kaya nasa Makati basement ang kaniyang dating asawa nang pinatay ang stepbrother nitong si Federico Delgado.

Hindi pinagkaila ni Kuh sa panayam na drug addict ang asawa niya.

“I am not the type who would tell everyone that my husband is a drug addict—especially since I know that he is struggling with it.”

Sinabi rin niya na may iba nang babae ito sa buhay at nilakad na nila ang annulment ng kanilang kasal.

Last friday, I learned that Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium War will be released on monday. In fact, in approximately one hour (as of the time I'm writing this), it will be D-day. Of course, malls open by 10 at the very least so its still a while. Unfortunately, checking the specs, I probably won't be able to give it an early test run. For those interested, CnC3 is the next-gen strategy game to

After the exam yesterday, I went to the mall (guess where) to just walk around a bit. Went around my usual way, going through some tops, looking around in Ace Hardware and still can't find what I'm looking for. When I got outside, apparently, Human had an affair at the Music Hall but it was too crowded for me to get any decent pics. Heading back in, Paris Hilton apparently has a new scent. This

Its been a while. Drowned by an onslaught of exams and continuous headaches, this paranoid thinker has decided to give his viewers on idea of what happened recently starting this february. February 2, 2007 Had an exam the day before and another exam on this day. Just so happened, I went to MoA to take a breather. Went with big brother as far as Buendia, after asking me to capture the "nerd look

Last friday was the Get Together Party of the ECES. Held at Escape in Libis, almost adjacent of Eastwood. Naturally, I still had classes till 6pm. Fortunately, we were dismissed a few minutes earlier. My dad drove us to the place and we ended up taking a different route than most others who went there. I was told that the Buendia route was faster but hey, let's leave the route to the one who's

I had my LEAP class yesterday. Although I was pretty annoyed because no one texted me (except Steph) that the schedule was moved. Also that no one told me that I needed to bring water (thanks to big brother for letting me have a gulp). The class was moved to 1pm from 9am so I went to MoA to pass the time. Took some pictures of the view which was nice. Actually saw a bit of Cavite that time. No

Today, I only had one class. Yes... one measly hour of academics. It also happened to be advelin so I had to attend lest risk failing another exam. I ended up bringing my notebook hoping I would be able to design some of the projects during my free time. Sadly, it was not meant to be. Happy birthday bols. Thanks sa lunch. It was a good thing after all that there was a sigspro review that

I think it's about time to tell you guys what happened for the past few days. A few of my friends were part of the DLSU team in the UP SquEEEze last saturday. It was fun (partly). I got to spend a saturday out of the house, (literally) and hang out with them when they weren't competing. Team Merry Christmas got 2nd place. (Ouch sorta if you knew exactly what happened). Team Fallen Angel was a

After complaining nonstop about the internet access my school has about blocking almost all forms of entertainment decent entertainment from the net, I decided it was time to stop complaining and do something. In fact, it seems like I already had everything I needed (almost) to make it happen. Yes, people, my schools internet service provider is such a killjoy. While unable to provide quality

I think Mics beat me into posting about this. ; This is rather old news anyway. Blood: The Last Vampire will be made into a live action movie. Saya, the leading character, will be portrayed by Jun Ji-hyun or Ji-hyun Jun. Whichever is correct.

Production I.G agrees to Ronny Yu’s Blood live-action remake.Production I.G has announced that ‘Blood the Last Vampire,’ produced in 2000, will be made into a live action movie by company French Pathe. Production I.G has given it’s consent. Pathe will spend approximately 20 million Euro (US$25 million) on the production. With shooting scheduled
to start in January 2007, a worldwide theatrical release is expected in spring 2008.

The original movie won best animation at the 4th Japan Media Arts Festival and spawned a TV-series ‘Blood+’ produced from 2005 to 2006. Copyright holder Production I.G. gave it’s consent for a live action production by French Pathe through American video distributor Manga Entertainment.

Pathe is the largest independent film studio in France, producing movies, distributing them and managing their movie licenses. The movie will be produced by Bill Kong (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Hero) and directed by Ronny Yu (Freddy vs. Jason). Ji-hyun Jun (My Sassy Girl, Windstruck) will star as lead Saya. The international production aims for a world wide audience.

Production I.G was not payed for the license, but will instead to receive royalties from all revenue created by the movie. Generally, when manga and
anime are adapted into live-action movies outside of Japan, remake rights are usually sold for a flat fee, which in the case of a hit, bars the original copyright holder of further revenue.

If the movie is a hit, this will lead to a sharp increase in revenue through ticket and dvd sales. Since the movie’s theatrical release is expected in spring 2008, impact on Production I.G’s profits is likely to be seen 2009 or later.
