A Dialogue With K

it’s all about the taxis, billboards, sidewalks, cinemas, zebra lines, lights, sounds, people, skyscrapers and shopping malls.

Hong Kong turned Gotham City

The other day while having our quarterly meeting at the 30th floor of our office building, I saw this huge plane flying into Victoria Harbour and I said, "Oh look, there's a big plane coming over us, OMG". Everybody was shocked and a bit panicky, they thought I was only joking. But when they turned their heads, the plane was gone. In few seconds, it came out again. ...

One day, isang araw

Originally uploaded by: KnOizKi Finally the weather is clear. The heavens told me to get up early to smile and see the beauty of the sky para mag-remit ng kaunti, mga milyones of pesos lang naman to my family. Milyones daw, wag nyo akong titigan. It always remind me of the old cliche', "save for the rainy days". Simple, a straightforward savings for any purpose. Kailangan tumulong eh? ...

Bumblebee

Originally uploaded by: RFornillos Quattro I think Bumblebee is the only name I could only remember after watching Transformers few days after it was finally opened in Hong Kong cinemas. I didn't see long queues so getting a ticket in the counter was only less than five minutes. This movie has all the elements of success in "transformations", big, fighting, transforming - in short, ROBOTS. Apparently, it was like ...

Watching the Dragon

I met Bruce Lee once again, but this time he was immortalized in bronze in the Avenue of Stars, an equivalent of that in Hollywood's Walk Of Fame. The 6-foot-6-inch statue features the martial arts star with his torso bared and his hands spread in a fighting stance. According to the news, he died of swelling of the brain on July 20, 1973, and was buried in Seattle. He ...

Live Free or Die Hard

"Did you see that"? The sidekick computer hacker guy by the name of Matt Farrell played by the irritating and eventually amusing Justin Long was his most quotable line in Die Hard 4.0. I suspect most of you have already watched it. I've enjoyed it last night. It was phenomenal. And although I was pretty much wondering at first whether I should or not watch this movie (it was opened like ...

On the news: Christina Aguilera is expecting, my Parallel Desktop, The Simpsons and more

Oh Saturdays! A lazy laid-home feel after getting back my Mac from a friend who works in an Apple Authorized dealer shop makes my weather a bit incoherent with the use of the Microsoft Windows XP on my Parallel Desktop. Thanks Fredie for the free upgrade and for my brother for letting his Mac to staying-over at my desk for a few days. Vanity Fair announced that The Simpsons, ...

‘Sakonite’ plastic bag is the answer

Now that Hong Kong local supermarkets like the big chain Park N Shop have already introduced a mandatory charge of 50 cents per use of plastic bag, customers will be ask if they could get by with fewer bags, or with none at all. Fewer plastic bags means savings for the supermarket, and good news for the environment. Speaking of plastic bags, in Hong Kong, we have these Chinese ...

28 Weeks Later

Originally uploaded by: snack happy The other night, after watching the movie Borat on DVD, the not-really-so-hilarious as what the movie review claimed it is, movie of a Kazakstani reporter who travels from his home in Kazahkstan to the U.S., I was caught extremely overwhelmed by watching another movie, 28 Days Later on local TV. Nevermind the annoying commercial ads shown after ten minutes interval but the movie was ...

H&M designed by Madonna

Finally, Hennes & Mauritz or for short H&M, a Swedish clothing company, known for their inexpensive and fashionable clothing has now arrived in Hong Kong. It was opened three days ago and I went there today but it was still packed of seriously long queue of shoppers. I beleived it was even more crowded during the first opening day since there was at least special pieces of garments given ...
