The Sinangag Ride. :p

The Cabin in the Woods

Definitely not the type of horror movie that you are expecting!

So when I first heard about this movie, I was all, “I guess it’s just some typical low-budget film that would make you throw away your money.” The reason why I watched this? CHRIS HEMSWORTH.

Ok, it’s a little off the chart though. haha! But hey, he’s hot and all, and this is some sort of a different genre. He couldn’t go all THOR and HUNTSMAN on me every time I see him. :))

Anyways, so this movie really is a surprise because it had a lot of unexpected turn of events. Like I said, not the typical horror movie that you’re expecting. It’s just like your worst nightmares being thrown at you. And it reminded me of the Hunger Games, actually. :p You get the tip on how this goes, minus the kill each other part though.

I remember that “Choose Your Own Nightmare” books that I used to read when I was a kid. It’s something like that. You’ll be choosing which nightmare you’ll unleash however, you cannot anymore choose how to survive, because that part is “their” job. Most of the scenes are stereotypical though, the kind that you see in every horror movie which definitely is the reason behind the making of this film.

It’s good, really. I’ll give it a rating of 4/5, especially in the last part, which is bloody, by the way. :))

Just like its tagline, “You think you know the story” but clearly, unless you see it, you don’t. :p

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

President by day, Hunter by night.

Just watched it at Gaisano Mall Cinema. I was skeptical when I first saw the trailer of this movie, and its posters. The 16th President of the United States, a vampire hunter? It was just absurd, even for a fictional story. Then I discovered, that it was based on a mash-up novel written by Seth Grahame-Smith.

After hearing mixed reviews, I grew curious of the film. Maybe it really has something good despite the ridiculous title.

So my friends and I were supposed to watch Ice Age 4, but decided to watch this movie instead. My verdict? 4/5.

The movie portrayed a different history of the President who abolished slavery and won the Civil War. The factual history was mixed with the existence of vampires, who led the war against Lincoln just because he freed the slaves who were supposed to be their food.

The mash-up was really good, for you can still see the real history of President Lincoln in a fantasy world. Something that could make you think, “What if this really happened in history?” :p Well that is, if you really believed in the existence of vampires. :p

I like how Benjamin Walker portrayed the president with precision; how he talked, moved, and even how he looked. That was what struck me the most. I was constantly telling my friends how he looked so much like the real president.

And in this movie, they also showed us that not all vampires were evil, as represented by Henry Sturgess, the vampire who taught Abe to become a hunter of the history.

Power Lincoln, power. Comes not from hate, but from truth. - Henry Sturgess

Keita’s Post-Birthday Dinner | July 12, 2012 | My House

So since everyone wasn’t able to attend last week, when we flew the sky lantern to welcome Keita’s birthday, we had a post-celebration dinner at my house. Why my house? Because mum had to cook the lechon paksiw that Jody brought from Agusan. hehe. :)

Keita's 24th Birthday in Heaven

July 7, 2012

We welcomed Keita’s 24th birthday in heaven. It has been 7 months since she died, but she still felt so much alive.

We just had a simple “party” at Jody’s, and by 12 midnight, we lit a lantern, plastered it with our messages for Keita, and watched it float up into the air. Epic. :)

Paparapapa…Love ko ‘to-go! ♥

Due to the ban of non-biodegradable plastics in Davao, McDonald’s started using paper bags for to-go orders. :)
