Batman: Battle For The Cowl

The Batman is Dead! Long Live The Batman!

The 3rd issue that wraps up the whole mini series came out last week. Ultimately reveals who picks up the mantle of the Bat, after Batman "died" during Final Crisis.

Hold it, whoah! How did Batman die? He basically had a mexican stand off with Darkseid. Threathening Darkseid with a New God killing bullet, while Darkseid shoots his Omega Sanction beams at him.

After the word got out that Batman is missing or dead, the criminals all came out of the wood work to wreak havoc. The Bat Family enlisted all their related allies to help clean up Gotham.

At the same time, Jason Todd dons the cowl with guns ablazing, klling all criminals, and everyone in his way. It's up to the Bat Family - Nightwing, Robin, Damian to stop him!

Since, anyone who has been following DC comics can easily predict how it would end.... Yeap, Jason is stopped and presume dead. Dick Grayson (Nightwing) becomes Batman.

It's a no brainer. Who would be more suitable to (temporary) be the Batman other than the first son of the Bat?

Story is pretty much just filler. We all know how it's going to end. But it's fast pace enough to be entertaining. At least it's only 3 issues and not being pretentious and dragged up to 6 issues or longer.

Man, it's nice to see the yellow oval Bat symbol costume again. Even for just a few pages of a short time.

Deleted Data/Photos

Able to recover data and photos is always a good thing. At least for me.

At times you are doing a mass delete, and your favourite gravure pic was accidentally clicked into the whole bunch and deleted... recovering them would be like a God given miracle. Like the skies split open, and the pic is brought back by Valkyries bringing your pic back from Gravure Valhala.

However, if you regretted taking nude pics or various sexploits... you would have to worry whenever the computer is sent to the workshop.

It's even worst for photos uploaded to the Internet.

Found this article on Yahoo!: No such thing as "deleted" on the Internet


"Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service simultaneously. (Yahoo! Tech is served by dozens of servers, for example.) But because changes aren't reflected across the CDN immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks."

I still think the best way is to not take any nude or sex pics at all, no matter what your "honey" says. For "own" use or whatever.

But I guess sometimes the curiosity of seeing ourselves in the buff in Jpeg form gets the better of oneself.

Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby Baby

WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO??! WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO??! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

You know what they say about that curious cat?

Sigh. Anyway, it all started hearing this song in that Korean reality TV show call 1 Night, 2 Days on KBS World.

They occasionally have it on and on last week's episode, while in the bus; one of them suggested to turn on the radio and listen to Girls Generation. And, the familiar tune comes out. The dude makes this funny retarded eyes rolled to the back white out head bobbing to the music.

So, guess what I did? Typing in Girls Generation Gee in Youtube and I got this:




Now. You. Will. Suffer. The. Same. Fate. As. I. Had.


It keeps playing in my head. And, yes. Now I have the mp3. Now I'm wondering what the rest of their songs sounds like. Cute dance moves though.

Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby Baby

Coming Soon

We have movies about haunted wigs, shoes, video tapes, mirrors, websites and ring tones. So, i guess this one can be called as a haunted film.

Movie's basically about people started dying after watching a yet to be release (hence the title "Coming Soon") horror movie. Shen and Peod both works at a cinema. They both made a deal with the local DVD pirates, to cam the movie before it is released.

On the night of the job, Shen fell asleep in the projector room and Peod who's responsibility is to film the movie with a digital video camera went missing. No body, no blood. No nothing. Except for the video camera that is lying on the floor.

Upon replaying the video camera, Shen found clues as to what had happened to his friend. Then weird things start to happen to Shen.

Finally. Another movie from the makers of Shutter and Alone. Have been a fan of their works. But I am afraid this one, in my opinion, has fallen short.

The previous two has a more realistic feel to it. Plot is a mystery and slowly unfolds. Usually has a big reveal.

Coming Soon in the first half, follows the same formula, but the big reveal happens right in the middle. Then it starts to turn into the generic, demon/ghost/monster thingy stalks and hunts the main characters and they try to find a way to beat the big bad.

Still, it is still watchable. If you are expecting the same formula of their previous works, you might be disappointed. I gotta give them credit for having an original plot.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Saw it last Thursday night.

This movie basically tells you the story of how Wolverine came to be. When his powers manifested, how he got the adamantium and how he got screwed over by practically everyone.

It precedes the X-Men movies, and I'm going to say it's more like a first prequel (in case this gets a sequel haha), as the X-Men movies were basically "Wolverine and his pals, The X-Men".

Story/Plot is Full of holes and didn't felt properly paced after the first half of it. The main problem with it is trying to cram too much in just 107 minutes. The opening war montage is pretty cool.

Soundtrack felt... forgettable. I've already forgotten how the main theme sounds like.

The action is cool. Some parts of the special effects look fake though. WTF no blood?! But overall, you can expect some really cool butt kicking moves.

Props to Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber who basically carried the whole movie. Ryan Reynolds for stealing the lime light in whichever scene he appeared in. Others are pretty much moving eye candy and not necessarily a bad thing though.

Try to look out for mutant cameos and a surprise guest star.

Final verdict: Slightly disappointed. Wolverine's feral nature felt castrated. Guess this always happens in other media outside of comics. But despite it's weaknesses, it is still an entertaining piece of action film. Eye candy for the women. Action for the dudes.

Wesak Day 2009

It's that time again.

This morning was the same old, same old. Woke up at around 6 plus in the morning to prepare to go to the temple for prayers.

Seems like we came out pretty much early this time. Temple's not that packed yet. At least on the outside/compound of the temple.

Saw the volunteer nurse. Same one every year. Think if not mistaken. She makes me feel older just by growing up.

There was this big ass white Labrador lying under the fan. It just looks at you and wag it's tail if you call out to it. Some dude just went over to pat it and it just lie down, enjoying the attention. Very cute. It probably thinking, if you want to pat me, you should be coming over instead of me, coming over. Hahaha.

The Perfect Mother's Day Gift

Mother's Day is just around the corner.

Is there really a perfect Mother's Day gift? A bouquet of flowers? A nice expensive dinner? Chocolates?

Have you prepared yours? Hurry if you have not!



I"ll blog about mine after Mother's Day. Just in case she reads my blog. You never know.

Deadpool Movie Is A Go!!!

YES! The 4th Wall breaking Merc With A Mouth movie!

I hope they don't screw it up.

Boys Over Flowers Korean Version

Jandi! Jun Pyo! Jandi! Jun Pyo! Anymore of it, I'm going to crap Jandi and Jun Pyo!!!

No no I'm not watching the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango. I only secretly like one of the songs But my mom is. It's currently showing on KBS World.

Though it's showing on KBS World, but that doesn't stop my mom from watching it online. All because of my big fat mouth for introducing her to watching streaming TV shows.

Mom watching it for the guys? I highly doubt it. Never heard her praise any of the guys. Most probably most of them look too feminine for her taste.

Surprisingly, she talks more of Jan Di for being astonishingly cute and tom boyish. I think she secretly wants a daughter.



I gotta admit though, Koo Hye Sun is incredibly cute with those pig tails.

I'm gonna be on the look out for the DVD set for my Mom from Speedy Video or something... they quite often bring in korean drama TV series DVD sets.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen new trailer

FFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!.... Optimus Prime, exterminating the targets!

A new Transformers trailer is out! Watch it at the official site: http://www.transformersmovie.com/

This looks like it's going to rock big time! Looks to have more giant robot battles, in which is the best thing from the first movie.

When the teaser trailer came out, it looks like Optimus is getting his ass kicked again. But from this new trailer it looks like he's delivering more ass kicking to the Decepticons.

Oh and... Megatron!

In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night...

Green Lantern: First Flight Official Trailer


DC comic's Green Lantern: First Flight. I've already got this ordered. Can't wait for it.



Love the DVD/Blu Ray cover art.

Came Across This Very Informative Article Regarding The Swine Flu

Came across this from Yahoo News: Mexico's Mystery: Why Is Swine Flu Deadlier There?

Most interesting paragraph I found is that:

But the truth is that even though the virus is referred to as swine flu, researchers do not yet know for sure that the A/H1N1 virus actually originated in pigs. There's been no evidence yet of pigs getting sick in either Mexico or the U.S. (Despite several countries' bans on pork imports, it's important to remember that the disease cannot be contracted by eating pork.) The original reservoir for flu viruses is actually wild birds, which can spread infection to domestic birds and people - as we saw with the H5N1 avian flu in Asia - and to pigs. Pigs make particularly good biological mixing bowls since they can be infected by bird-, swine- and human-flu viruses and provide a hospitable environment for the viruses to swap genes and create entirely new strains in a process called reassortment. That is what may have happened with the A/H1N1 swine-flu virus, which contains genes from bird-, pig- and human-flu viruses. "When you get a large concentration of pig farms, people, wild birds and poultry, these things do happen," says Peter Daszak, the president of the Wildlife Trust and an expert on emerging diseases.

Interesting huh?
