I believe we are living in a deflationary world while here in our country the OFW remittances, the BPO industry and the Real Estate Boom are creating inflation pressures that aren’t easily handled by exchange rate movements. This is not going to end well.

A lot of people are scared. All that they can do is to tear people down because big people scare them.
Instead of considering what went into the design, we point at laugh at someone’s “terrible design”, retweet and reblog then go on with our superiour existence.

Love And Other Drugs
There is that kind of lovestory that I don’t get to see that often. It’s the not a romantic comedy, the comedy that has romance tucked into sometimes seemingly by accident, the zero chemistry super star vehicle. We get to see these things but mostly on short episodic movies like Love Actually and Valentines Day and the like. I believe the problem has always been that moderation , balance is the harder thing to accomplish. They almost hit that note with this movie, alas I don’t know if they wanted a movie done by an ADD and depressed person. The film felt done by someone taking ritalin and/or prozac. If that was the messiness they wanted then they succeeded. I cant recommend this movie, but I’ve seen it twice to see two excellent performances and dream of what could have been if they were more focused.

for june who loved this garden and joseph who always sat beside her + Notting Hill
Musings on Anime 2010
I can think of three Great? animated films this year from the west Toy Story 3, How To Train Your Dragon and Tangled. Where are the great anime movies of yore?
Torn between programming and watching RPG Metanoia again. Programming might win because I don’t have to get up and take a bath. hehe.
Movie or Rest
Would really love to watch a movie but, I’m still a little tipsy from a fever.
rePost::To See:: LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS is a great relationship movie almost single-handedly ruined by one performance, says Capone!!! — Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
At its core, LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS is, as the title implies, a love story and a perfect example of one at that. More than that, it’s the story of two adults falling in love. Yes, there are complications in the relationship, but they aren’t the kind of manufactured, childish bullshit that 95 percent of the world’s romantic comedies seem to thrive upon. These are real-world issues between two flawed individuals who are struggling to find a way to be together against adversities that could easily tear them apart. As upsetting as it might be to see them clumsily maneuver their way around the early stages of this serious relationship, because these two actors are as strong as they’ve ever been, it’s also highly entertaining. LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS is the film adults should make a point to see over this long weekend. As a bonus, for the first half of the movie, you couldn’t pay Hathaway to keep her clothes on. So, there’s that. Enjoy the hell out of this one, people.

Notes:
- GLEE::Gwyneth’s Glee guesting was cool. Fuck You should be heard as Forget You. The Singing in the Rain and Umbrella mashup sucked, considering I’ve seen Singing in the Rain about 12 times before my vcd got scratched and find umbrella a nice enough song, the mashup was really bad.
- The Big Bang Theory:: The kiss was 2 seasons in the making. I’m sensing an uptick men kissing on network tv.
- Of the late night tv shows I watch (The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Conan, David Letterman,Jimmy Fallon late night) I love the shows in this order.
Notes:
- Kat Dennings has more charm that the girl who played Ramona. It maybe the role was too thin for her to shine.
rePost:: Best Read::All the lonely people – Roger Ebert's Journal
Nice post read the whole thing.
When I was a child the mailman came once a day. Now the mail arrives every moment. I used to believe it was preposterous that people could fall in love online. Now I see that all relationships are virtual, even those that take place in person. Whether we use our bodies or a keyboard, it all comes down to two minds crying out from their solitude.

Because if it’s not Love
Then it’s the bomb, the bomb, the bomb,
