500 days of summer

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn’t.
i was browsing the fox searchlight website for some fresh indie films. and i found this new film 500 days of summer the trailer remind me Garden State specially the first part when Summer ( Zoey Deschanel) and Thomas (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) met on the elevator with thom listening to the smiths and Summer said "I love The Smiths..., I said I love The Smiths. That reminds me when natalie portman hands his headphone to zach braff and said "listen to the shins, it will change your life." im the shins and smith fan. For me that scene on the elevator was the catch of this film. it got my interest right there and then. I mean how many guys ever dream of meeting someone and start a conversation just because your listening to some music like the smiths or any non mainstream music. I remember one time i was just sitting on the couch on the lobby in our office and this half japanese girl sit beside me wearing some earphones, so i said hi, and ask what shes listening to? then she replied, nah, just some As I Lay Dying stuff. WTF!? i said to myself, thats just the start of a wonderful conversation talking about metal bands, and before we say goodbye we end up giving each others phone number and thats just the begining.

well more about this film, its a story of a boy meets girl but its not a love story, according to the narrator. hehe. and its a official selection on this years sundance festival. as i can see it on the trailer its a quirky romantic comedy, and based on some comments on imdb who saw this film on sundance its a great film.

only downside is, it will be released on theaters on july, and thats a long wait. and we're not sure if it will reach our shores, buts not really a big deal for me since we have torrent engines here. hopefully someone will leak a screener copy of this film in those torrent sites. if you found one send me the link. haha!

qoutes on this trailer:
I love The Smiths..., I said I love The Smiths
They use call me anal girl. I was very neat and quirky. (lol)
It was love, not Santa Claus
I think im Sid Vicious, no im Sid. Oh, so Im Nancy. (haha)


oh by the way another foxsearchlight im looking forward to is postgrad. hehe

macro shot using Blown Up2

got this plug in for photoshop to make your macro shot better without having a macrolens. (am i making any sense? lol) just want to share this program to you guys. it called Blown Up2 by alienware. its a cool program.

they're about the same size, i think theres a little noise but manageable of course im just lazy to tweak some settings on photoshop. but the thing here is you can make a pretty decent macro shot using this program.

i know i can come up with a better sample but most of my files is on my maxtor and i dont have it right now. this shot was taken in one of our photo ops. trekking some unknown mountain in batangas.

battle of alangilan

i was invited to be one of the panel of judges in the recent battle of the bands held in alangilan batangas city. its quite an honor for me to be placed in that position. i mean its my first time and its quite an experience. as a band member we only joined this type of contest once and its a school event during college days, and we were disqualified because we didnt played the contest piece for the reason that we didnt like the song. and we hate band competition. the rest is history.

im sharing some photos of me receiving the plaque of appreciation.
