One night, I decided to bring Darwin's camera and practice my DSLR knowledge (if any, lol). I also played around with the photos in iPhoto. Really no-brainer software and can make some nice/decent effects and a little manipulation with the colors. :)
Last July 21, after picking up my Harry Potter book from the bookstore, Darwin and I decided to visit the Wellington Zoo and see some of his family there. Entrance fee is $15 per person. Kinda pricey but I guess worth it if we also pay the same amount to watch a movie. Some of the animals we saw:
Kinda disappointed though because they are renovating some parts of the zoo and I'm not sure what we missed. More info on Wellington Zoo here.
More Wellington Zoo pics on my Multiply and Flickr.
Reading a couple of chapters before I go to sleep, in between my office breaks, while in the bus commuting, when I'm sitting on my throne, and whenever I have the time to spare, I've finally finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I love that (spoiler alert) none of the 3 main characters died when I expected the worst because of all the rumors going around, I cried when Dobby and Fred died (heh), and I got excited in Ron and Hermione's relationship (lol). 
.
What a way to end a great story! Of course, everyone loves (spoiler alert) a happy ending!!! 
Like every Potter fan around the world, I too grabbed a copy of the 7th and last Harry Potter book today! I'm sooo excited to find out what will happen!!!
I was smiling when I entered the cinema about to watch the 5th installment to the Harry Potter series, but left not smiling anymore. I am disappointed!!! I am a big fan and I have read all the books and seen all the movies and this is the worst of them all! There were so many things wrong and missing!! It's like only half of the book! I know the book is also the longest in the Harry Potter series but surely there is a way that they could have put it in the big screen without cutting chunks of the story/characters!!
Jet Li's final martial arts film. I'm gonna miss his kung fu moves :c
But this film doesn't show him getting old. Physically, he can still kick it and do all that martial arts moves. For me, it's a different Jet Li in this film. Love it!!
On the DVD cover it said: "The funniest animated movie since 'Shrek'!". Hmmmm... I don't know about that. It's cute and funny at the start, but take any story and re-tell it quite a number of times (4) and it gets... boring??!! Story can be predictable and animation could have been better, but the voice talents were good though (gotta love Anne Hathaway).
When the movie was released, I had no idea what the hype was about. I saw bits of the trailer and I thought that the movie was in 3D (or something) because of the color and the cast/men (the body too good to be true heh). I didn't watched the movie even though Darwin insisted before that I should see it. Now that Dar is here with me, he won't let it pass that I didn't watched 300 so he downloaded a copy of the movie and finally, I was able to watch 300.
My verdict: the storytelling, treatment, effects, and the men (abs, abs, abs) were all great!! I love it!!
After a month (or two?) it was released, we finally saw this movie. Wasn't really too excited to see the third installment to Shrek since I find Shrek 2 quite boring. I don't know if it's the movie (boring again?) or just me really tired, but I slept on the first quarter of the movie. Shrek the Third was ok (I still laughed on some parts of the movie), but of course Shrek 1 is still the best.
I also found out (in Wiki) that there's gonna be another Shrek movie. Shrek Ever After and Shrek the Halls (TV Christmas special). Plus the Puss in Boots spin-offs. I'm kinda getting bored with Shrek heh but Puss in Boots sound quite promising.
Dar and I were supposed to go to a car show but when we stepped outside it was raining hard. Since we were all dressed up already, we decided to just go to the mall, which is just a block away from where we live. Then decided to watch Transformers. Animation was great!! But it was too violent for me hehe.
