Of Chopsticks, Surprise Presents, Tarpaulins, and Mother-in-laws... all for LaMB

Of Chopsticks



Ms. Hazel M. Tacazon, a sweet thoughtful narcissistic suicidal friend of mine (as you could see it is her will to place her complete name), gave me a gift, I saw it silently waiting for me when I arrived at work... a set of chopsticks... a set of chopsticks I don't think I would be using. I won't be using it not because I don't like it but the total opposite, I like it so much I don't want to see it tainted. I just have to keep it away from the people in our house because any chopstick that is not white in hue for them is meant for the hair. Thank you sweet thoughtful narcissistic suicidal friend of mine, Ms. Hazel Tacazon.

Of Surprise Presents


Ms. Baby Lea Divino, an emotional human processor, did something that I probably wont forget like a secret told to me when I was in the third grade. I had an odd unexplainable feeling of unknown glee when i saw a gift wrapped in transparent gift wrap on my table, it was for my birthday. It contained me, an animated me, a Sasuke figure. The way Sasuke won't give a damn about bonds make us similar. Its the little things that count, and it did count. It caught me off guard. But don't get me wrong Lea, I'm still going to beat the bloody hell out of you. Because like Sasuke I have to cut any bond to be more powerful.

Of Tarpaulins


People look up to me because of the College of Computer Studies, they placed a tarpaulin about me above eye level haha. If CCS is proud of me I am more proud of them. I don't really know how to thank them.

Of Mother-in-laws



LaMB was the life of the wedding. Everyone wants to have a picture with her specially the mother-in-law of my co-instructor Ms. Shiela. I wish that Ms. Shiela and Mr. Oliver live happily ever after.

Kamote Review: LaMB Movie and Animax Acer Mini Laptop

LaMB Incomplete Review (I'll finish this once it is shown in Animax it might end up being a spoiler):

Last March 13 2009 Friday the 13th, I was invited to watch the sneak preview of LaMB the animated movie this blog site was made for.

LaMB isn't what you would expect of LaMB. I was surprised the first time I saw the intro.

The long wait for LaMB was worth it.

LaMB was a visual, auditory, and intellectual treat. It is a landmark for anime. I won't talk about it much you have to see it for yourself on March 24. Congratulations Animax on a job well done, very impressive.

I would say the thing that grabbed me most in LaMB was the story, it is very saddening that some details were cut short because of the movie's time constraint.

I am not being biased because they gave me a mini laptop. Hehe

Animax Mini Laptop Review:

(Moochi names the netbook "AniEve" now she names it "AniMac")

(The mini laptop with other LaMB goodies)(My EmO sister models the sub laptop)

(What makes this netbook priceless is the Animax Logo)

Specifications:

This is one of the top netbooks out in the market today. And its the best I have becuase its the only one I have hehe.

• Model: Acer Aspire One ZG5
• Good: Great Keyboard considering its size, good LCD, has a storage expansion slot (up to 16 gig)
• Bad: inadequate battery life
• Processor: Intel Atom N270 (1.6GHz)
• Memory: 1Gig DDR2
• Graphics: Intel GMA 950
• Hard Disk: 120Gig

• Size: 249 x 170 x 29
• Weight: 995g
• Battery: 3-cell or 5200 mA·h 6-cell battery (3 hours)
• Final Verdict: It is the best mini laptop I have because it is the only mini laptop I have hehe

Now my Problem with the netbook:

Everything's in Chinese (?)

(Without the Icons I wont know where to go)(MS Word in Chinese)

(I wonder what are the names of the songs in Windows Media Player)
(I need the manual, there I found it)

A journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Misread Sign and Getting Lost

(Slow Down LaMB Working)

PhilAnime.com already did a great cover of the LaMB Sneak Peak at My Cinema, GreenBelt 3, Makati so please do check out the site. Some pictures in this post were also taken from the their site. Thank you Mr. Jay it was nice meeting you I also enjoyed the coctail food.

Plus I met Lamb Rod (the-lamb-colony.blogspot.com) who was with his girlfriend, very friendly folks. He was not what I expected him to be. I always thought he was serious but turns out he is the kind of guy you would not have a dull moment with.

March 2009 Friday the 13th, people with Triskaidekaphobia would faint at the things I did that day. That day my world turned upside down as I got Laminated by LaMB twice.

(The goddess with LaMB waiting for the bus)

(Sardines)

(With time running out we used our pure brute strength to get through the human barricade and enjoyed the train ride not minding where we started or ended, I was like a little child who'd keep asking mom to ride the carousel over and over again even if I knew it just goes around in circles)

Contrary to popular belief I am not from Manila, Cerra City, nor from Mars, I am from the far away province of Zambales, a province well known for its Beaches (yes I am referring to a body of water) and ... hmm... (I'll get back to that). It is a four hour travel to the destination and I have absolutely no idea how to get from point A to point Greenbelt.

I love getting lost, I'd make a great lab rat if I get reincarnated to one. We really had the time of our lives in the travel. The whole trip people in the bus, train, cab, spaceship and peddy cab could probably hear me thinking out loud "Where in the world are we?". I have good sense of direction, I have the bad habit of reading every sign when I travel and I used the GPS on my phone so we were able to reach the destination safe and sound. If it were the "Amazing Race", Mooch and I would have been team number ONE, and we were team number one because we were there even before the crew who made preparations for the event.

(We literally grabbed a few bites because the place of the event is the Land of Midas. These are cheeseballs and not quale eggs I was fooled hehe )

(Thats weird these posters weren't there when we arrived, we are team number one.)

(LaMB together with Jay of PhilAnime.com, a webmaster and certified otaku.)

(A beautiful scenery infront of My Cinema, it is on the third floor, a robotic security guard told us that the only way up is with the use of stairs, he was dead wrong but we still followed him)

ENTER THE BELLY OF THE FEAST

(Cocktail party for the Who's Who in the lounge area of my Cinema for the special sneak preview of Animax LaMB)

(Cocktail Food Part 1: Main Dish)

(Cocktail Food Part 2: Side Dish)

(Cocktail Food Part 3: Dessert)

The Cocktail Party was an eat all you can buffet but I was not able to eat all I can because cocktail food wasn't meant to be eaten that way. I found out this the hard way as I made the horrible mistake of taking too much food. It was an epiphany for me as I wondered why the food was served in bite sizes (LOL) from the main dish to the dessert (LOL). Even the plate was small and you also must have one plate. I wish all parties I go to have name tags placed with the food, it made the food more appetizing. Mooch and I couldn't stop laughing about the cocktail experience until we went home.

(During the party registration and Cocktail I was asked to take the netbook out of the box to be presented later in the program. Mooch named the netbook "AniEve" later naming it "AniMac")

(In the interview room we can see Mr. Gregory Ho the VP and General Manager of Animax, in his back is the dress designed by a famous fashion designer worn by Eve in the movie)

(I got to chat with the writer of LaMB Carmelo S. J. Juinio, he thought I was carrying an Eve doll... I wished I were)

(After the cocktail party, the chit chat and interviews we entered a MINIATURE movie house and look Mooch and I got VIP seats muhaha)

(Film Director Quark Henares (Director of Super Noypi) and MTV VJ Andi Manzano hosted the program)

(My smile reached up my ears as Mr. Gregory Ho compliments my blog and awards me the netbook. I was totally star struck my senses didn't function, Mr. Ho said something like "He (Me) is remarkable, had so much passion, went around laminating people)

(My smile reached even higher as Quark and Andi explained the contents of my blog and how I won the prize. I never thought this blog was seen by its viewers that way.)

(Mooch and I went out of the sneak preview of LaMB laminated.)

LaMB in a Kaleidoscope World

Thank you ANIMAX, thank you DANNY CHOO, thank you to everyone who have been a part of this great adventure... you have all my gratitude.

Thank you mom, thank you my brother Ray, my sister Divine.

Thank you Mooch.

My unending gratitude to my College of Computer Studies family specially to our Dean Ms. Erlinda Casela.

Thank you Aziel.

To my close friends and enemies.

LaMB LOL, ROFL, LMAO, BWL (and other initialisms relating irrational excessive laughter)...

VEG, WEG, BEG (and other initialisms relating to irrational excessive evil grin)

CID, CRBT, VSF (and other initialisms relating to irrational excessive sadness)...

This past week I'm in a Kaleidoscope World (I really can't spell "kulaydascop"), from being a singing contestant, dancer, band member to watching a cheesy J**n L***d and S*r*h G*ronim* movie.

I was at the brink of a Bipolar Disorder when I received an email from Animax...

Uncontrollable burst of laughter was my initial reaction (I'm on a practical joke show),
It was March 2, 2009 (Tuesday) around 5 in the afternoon, I got an email from animax congratulating me for emerging as the grand winner of the contest that started this whole flipped blog.

It probably was a practical joke, so I won't be saying it to anyone until I receive my prize because I know I'm going to be screwed if I told anyone I won. But I told everyone anyway and from then I was treated like an untouchable celebrity (I haven't told someone that I won to torture her and make her pay for what she did when she joined a contest). But my radiance was dim because I stayed bowing, I remained humble and just smiled when everyone congratulates me, the truth is at the back of my head "I'm in deep trouble if that email was a practical joke" LOL, ROFL, LMAO, BWL (and other initialisms relating irrational excessive laughter)...

I knew my blog was unique and totally out of this world but I'm still ecstatic (I promised my readers I'd make my writing easier to understand by using simple words but it just can't be helped so pardon me).

The next email I got (March 5, 2009 Friday 3pm) was an e-invite (so that is what we call an evite), saying that I get to go to a cocktail party (?) to meet the vice-president of Animax to get my award and I get to watch with a friend the exclusive sneak preview of LaMB at Greenbelt 3 Ayala Center, Makati on March 13. VEG, WEG, BEG (and other initialisms relating to irrational excessive evil grin)

March 5, 2009 animax also officialy announced the winners of the contest (on animax-asia.com) so I had the courage to write about it in my blog "I'm confident I won't be in deep trouble" I won't have to pay for all the posters of me they are palnning to put up muhaha.

I still feel like I'm in a reality tv show and everyone is laughing at me now because I am the only one who doesn't know that this is all a joke. I keep looking at this image and I'm still in disbelief (I did not Photoshop the image hehe). Visit the animax website at animax-asia.com


I wouldn't have made it if not for ME!!! Kidding of course, even without their image on my blog a great deal of people helped me and chocolates and KFC bucket meal cannot equal the gratitude I wanted to express. Special thank you to semiotics-haven.blogspot.com a better writer than me and another blogger the-lamb-colony.blogspot.com who I thought would win.

and now the sad part

CID, CRBT, VSF (and other initialisms relating to irrational excessive sadness)...

I started playing Tekken because of two reasons: Star City and Francis "Kiko" Magalona. I started playing in a band because of two reasons: Voltes V and Francis "Kiko" Magalona. I started rapping because of two reasons: Sesame Street and Francis "Kiko" Magalona. He died March 5, 2009 12:40pm with a smile on his face leaving an immortal legacy we would never forget. Thank you Master Rapper, like you I will promote three stars and a sun, and with my victory may all people of three stars and a sun be inspired to shine like the infinite ebony sky. I am a Filipino and proud to be one.
