Watching Twilight Again

I didn't really like the big screen adaptation. It was not as romantic as the book. I never read romantic books, but Twilight really gave me the "kilig" factor when I was reading it. I was giggling in the MRT whenever Edward is uttering his romantic words to Bella. I wish I was that romantic, I wished my life will be that exciting. I want to be a Vampire!

Anyway, back to watching Twilight again. Our neighbors rented the DVD and we watched together on their new 42-inch HD TV! This time, I appreciate the movie better because I know what to expect. When I watched it in the cinema, I was disappointed! Watching it again though made the movie more interesting. How the director stitched everything from the book to a 2 hour movie. Well, the make-up is still horrible, but I enjoyed watching it at the comfort of our neighbors very cozy living room. Should I read "New Moon"? I don't have plans of reading it anymore.. I'm done being BELLA while reading the book.. bwahahah! I'll probably wait for the movie. And I admit it.. I felt a little kilig this time around! LOL!

Officemates Tried Filipino Food in BONIFACIO

The time I told all of them that my sister is going to manage a new Filipino Restaurant here in Singapore, everybody in the office was eager to go and get a taste of the Filipino Cuisine. All of them haven't tried eating Filipino Dishes so I was also excited for them. What could Singaporean's and one Hungarian colleague say about the Filipino taste?

First dish, Sisig. Sisig of course is one if not the most popular pulutan dish in the Philippines. And they liked it! It is spicy, and people here in Singapore love spicy food! Second dish, Chicken Inasal. Its chicken, so everybody loved it, specially Andrew (Hungarian) who liked the lemon grass flavor and aroma of the chicken. This one is also my personal favorite! Third dish, Crispy Pata. This gigantic piece of super crispy pork knuckles was so tasty, Andrew can't resist but take the bone and eat every piece of meat stuck on it! LOL! Fourth dish, Chicken Binakol. Chicken Soup with corn and coconut. Desmond literally cleaned the bowl and kept on saying "This is my favorite already"! The last few dishes Bicol Express and Pinakbet are equally tasty as the one I already mentioned, but we cannot eat them anymore because we are very full already. Mindy did mention that the Bicol Express is very chinese.

Overall, everybody had fun trying out each and every dish which is practically new to their taste buds. I'm glad they liked it! And I hope that more Singaporeans will learn to love Filipino Dishes and visit BONIFACIO often.

WHAT! MATT IN THE BOTTOM 3! WHAT'S WRONG!

Still can’t believe that after Matt’s breathetaking performance yesterday.. He was still in the bottom 2! What could have happened! One reason could be his looks. He is not exactly good looking and I don’t think he is charming enough for the girl dominated world. His music is also very sophisticated that most people could find a little too classy for American Idol. Yes.. American Idol is a talent search for pop stars and physical packaging is definitely a factor. But what a waste if Matt will not end up in the final 2 if he continues bringing outstanding performances every week.

I didn’t like Matt Giraud when top 36 started. I didn’t even quite get why he was picked in the wild card. But week after week, I get to appreciate his soulfulness when he takes the stage. Though I must admit that the competition is a bit tougher this year because most of the finalist are showing everything they got to make it to the finale.

I sure hope America will do the right thing next week and vote the for someone who is consistently bringing up their game. Matt for me is definitely one of the front runners and its a pitty to see him in the bottom.

Who is deserving to be in the bottom 3? MEGAN! She slaughtered “For Once In My Life”. One of my all time favorite songs! Don’t get me wrong. Megan is one talented gal.. her music is very different and has a certain edge, but the way she interpreted the song was just horrible! One of the worst American Idol performances ever!

But I am happy that Michael finally left the competition. He shouldn’t even be in the final 12. I’m excited for next week’s performance night! I hope my bets.. Anoop and Matt give their best next week!

Fighting Spiders: A Singapore Blockbuster Telemovie

The trailer has been running for months.. and the hype has definitely made me excited to see this blockbuster drama that will change the face of Singapore’s local TV Drama. The teaser trailer shows an awesome cinematography! The storyline seems to revolve around the friendship of 3 boys set in the 60s. It looks like another “I Not Stupid” to me and I have high hopes for this Blockbuster TV Series.
