At first I thought it was going to be a “War of the Worlds” thing, but then people started talking about the Cloverfield monster, so I thought, uh, Godzilla. I didn’t catch the first five minutes of the movie (my film teacher in college would say it’s an unforgiveable sin!) but I caught enough to understand the characters’ backstories. Jason is throwing a going away party for his brother Rob who’s leaving for Japan. Rob’s best friend Hud is assigned camera man duty, so the movie is shot from his point of view. (I’d say that if he did this for a living, he wouldn’t have gotten repeat customers or referrals.) As the party progresses, all of a sudden there’s a huge explosion and tremors. Everyone rushes outdoors and horror of horrors, they see their city being reduced to rubble. As Hud believes it’s important to record everything that goes on, we viewers get dragged along for one hell of a ride as the characters desp... http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/reviews/item/7 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 02:52:04 -0000 New Worlds Alliance launches the country's first online science fiction and fantasy lending library QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES (newworlds.ph) -- Have you ever tried following one of those long-running fantasy book series like Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" or the Dragonlance series?  Or have you ever tried reading all the "Star Trek" novels in order but couldn't find the next volume?  Tried to keep up with the Star Wars Expanded universe novels? You've probably tried.  But as the venerable Master Yoda would say, "Do or do not, there is no try." "But Master Yoda," you protest. "I can only try because it's too difficult to find all the books in these series.  It's rare to find all 10 Wheel of Time books available in a store, or to find someone with a great number of Star Trek books I can borrow!" Master Yoda looks at you with a knowing smile and whispers, "Ah, but the New Worlds Library, there is.  Know about it, do you not?" I can see you're quite bewildered.  And before Master Yoda decides you have to do a single handstand while he's standing on your f... http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/journal/item/56/New_Worlds_Alliance_launches_the_countrys_first_online_science_fiction_and_fantasy_lending_library Fri, 18 Jan 2008 01:54:35 -0000 Pepper <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/Rs2gvQoKCr4AAA6tnRw1"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.ninaloureyes.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/Rs2gvQoKCr4AAA6tnRw1/DSC00749.JPG?et=0GGuU5Cv20HHfpdAe0N31A" border="0"></a>Pepper, our lovely 6 year old dachshund, passed away yesterday, August 22. I remember how small she was when she first arrived, a gift from a family friend. My mom told me that we would be getting a dachshund puppy, and my sister and I were planning to name her Salami. But when she arrived, we took one look at her and said "Pepperoni, not Salami. Pepper for short." I bought her dog food, paid for her visits to the vet. Then I moved to Manila when she was a year old, but she never forgot me. Whenever I arrived for vacations, my mom would comment that Pepper acted happier around me. She was my baby, after all. I'm sorry I didn't pay much attention to her last time I went home during Holy Week. She moved slower (she was really fat and kinda waddled around) and I told my mom Pepper needed exercise. During the last 2 months, she was getting sick a lot. And yesterday, she breathed her last. I could hear my mom sniffling when she called to give me the news. Rest in peace, dear Pepper.  Y... http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/journal/item/48/Pepper Thu, 23 Aug 2007 15:01:10 -0000 Gabe's Birthday Parley 2007-07-31 http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/photos/album/23/Gabes_Birthday_Parley_2007-07-31 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 10:53:21 -0000 Eternals <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/RqXcHAoKCr4AAGx3exE1"><img class="alignright" src="http://images.ninaloureyes.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RqXcHAoKCr4AAGx3exE1/DSC05930.JPG?et=P%2Cd2uZR7ozQalDIn2uTUtQ" border="0"></a>Got called to our Managing Director's office this afternoon, and hopped out with Marvel Eternals by Neil Gaiman & John Romita Jr.   Yay! Something new to read! Too bad it's only on loan, I have to return it when he gets back from KL. Am so glad I have a boss who's a geek too! http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/journal/item/47/Eternals Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:02:59 -0000 I love Snape I got my copy of Book 7 at Fully Booked Bonifacio High Street last Saturday night. I started reading around 10pm and was so engrossed in the book that I didn't realize dawn was already breaking. I finished it at 530am, a little teary-eyed. I won't post any spoilers, but all I can say is: I love Severus Snape! http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/journal/item/46/I_love_Snape Mon, 23 Jul 2007 01:25:01 -0000 New Worlds Transformed Last day, July http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/photos/album/22/New_Worlds_Transformed Mon, 16 Jul 2007 11:19:20 -0000 New Worlds 4 Photoshoots Some of the photos taken for the NWA photo caption http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/photos/album/21/New_Worlds_4_Photoshoots Sat, 2 Jun 2007 02:15:33 -0000 Tribute to Ricky My pictures of Ricky, taken from different http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/photos/album/20/Tribute_to_Ricky Sun, 22 Apr 2007 05:52:34 -0000 Farewell, dear Ricky I called Ricky last Tuesday afternoon at his office just to say hi, and the girl who answered said that he'd been brought to Medical City. I got worried and called his cellphone. Reitch answered and told me he was in the ICU. And on April 18, we said goodbye forever. It's Thursday now, and I'm still struggling with the fact that I'll never hear him say "Halloooo" or call me "Pretty girl" again. Ricky was practically family. I live alone here in Manila, and he was always there when I needed to talk to someone. I remember being unable to sleep over a problem and I called him at 4am and even if he was groggy, he didn't get mad at me. Every time there was a long weekend, he'd text to ask me if I had plans and invite me to join him and Reitch. He was Broadwall, our pillar of strength: logistics and security chief at Conventions, consultant on protocol, Ringbearer and Bane to Ian's bane. And yet he was Papa Ball too, always ready with a quote from Monty Python, the one who endlessly teased... http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/journal/item/42/Farewell_dear_Ricky Thu, 19 Apr 2007 10:43:21 -0000 a photoshoot, a wedding & at the cafe My weekends have been full, and these photos show why.

September 21, 2006 The Department Head The Surgery Department St. Luke's Medical Center 279 E. Rodriguez Sr. Blvd. Quezon City 1102 Philippines Dear Sir: I am aware that there is a shortage of doctors in our country so please allow me to do my patriotic duty to help alleviate this alarming problem besetting the medical community.  My name is Orven Enoveso but you can call me Doc for short.  I would like to apply for a position in your department as resident plastic surgeon. I have attached my resume and list of accomplishments with this letter for you to study.  At first glance, I am sure you will quickly conclude that I am nowhere near qualified for the job having no formal medical background.  However, I urge you to seriously reconsider this application based on the following points: 1.       Even with my limited medic... http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/journal/item/34/Application_Letter Fri, 3 Nov 2006 05:32:45 -0000 Halloween 2006 Masks and Movie Magic at the Hard Rock Cafe Oct 31, http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/photos/album/12/Halloween_2006 Thu, 2 Nov 2006 01:31:33 -0000 VA Anniv Party 2006 Via Astris turns 5!

Yes, I knew that, but the last time I had a bottle, it didn’t affect me much. So last night at Murphy’s, I decided I needed a change from my usual Negra, Cali Ice or Iced Tea. Paolo commented that I must’ve wanted to get drunk – even he would get dizzy after consuming two bottles of the stuff. Nah, I said. I’m having only one anyway. I could handle it fine. Three-fourths to emptying the bottle, I began to feel light-headed. Oh boy. I guess being tired during the day made me more susceptible to intoxication. Then the thought occurred to me that I wanted to experience being more than a little tipsy. The last time I entertained that thought was around 3 years ago, at Ratsky’s Cebu with my officemates, contemplating whether I should take my 8th shot of tequila. There was that rush, the thrill of being on dangerous ground, trying to see how far I could go without losing myself. However, being part of mopping-up operations after all-ni... http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/journal/item/6/Strong_Ice Thu, 11 May 2006 04:42:31 -0000 Remember this gem from the 80s? No One is to Blame - Howard Jones   You can look at the menu but you just can’t eat You can feel the cushions but you can’t have a seat You can dip your foot in the pool but you can’t have a swim You can feel the punishment but you can’t commit the sin And you want her and she wants you We want everyone And you want her and she wants you No one, no one, no one ever is to blame You can build a mansion but you just can’t live in it You’re the fastest runner but you’re not allowed to win Some break the rules And live to count the cost The insecurity is the thing that won’t get lost And you want her and she wants you We want everyone And you want her and she wants you No one, no one, no one ever is to blame You can see the summit but you can’t reach it It’s the last piece of the puzzle but you just can’t make it fit Doctor says you’re cured but you still feel the pain Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain And you want her and she wants you We want everyone And you want her and she wan... http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/journal/item/2/Remember_this_gem_from_the_80s Mon, 24 Apr 2006 01:25:03 -0000 VA Christmas Party 2005 http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/photos/album/2/VA_Christmas_Party_2005 Thu, 15 Dec 2005 06:03:33 -0000 VA fanfilm shooting at diff http://ninaloureyes.multiply.com/photos/album/1/VA_fanfilm Mon, 28 Mar 2005 02:11:07 -0000
