Toy Story 3



I watched the movie Toy Story 3 yesterday afternoon in TriNoma. I watched it in a regular cinema. I don’t know if it is good on a 3D cinema.

Toy Story 3 is now one/1 of my favorite movies. Toy Story 3 is far better than Shrek Forever After.

Although some toy characters from the first/1st two/2 films are not in this movie. And the same time, the toys characters are still have.

The movie has well plot, good jokes. The price is worth the movie. This movie is not only for kids, but also for teens, adults and teens-at- and adults-at-heart.

I have feeling that this movie will be a strong contender for the Best Animated Feature Film for next year’s Golden Globe Awards, BAFTA Awards and Academy Awards.

Justin Bieber - Baby

I suffered from Last Song Syndrome (LSS), because of the chorus of Justin Bieber’s song, “Baby”.

I blame him, and the song’s songwriter/s and lyricist/s.

Powerbooks’ PowerBarter

I learned about Powerbooks’ PowerBarter in Greenbelt 3, on Powerbooks’ Twitter account a few days ago. And of course, I asked my parents to go there today. I exchange 6 of the books I owned.

The books I exchanged are:
Lois Lowry’s “The Giver”;
Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s “The Little Prince”;
Philip Pullman’s The Subtle Knife” and “The Amber Spyglass”;

I forgot the last 2/two of the books I exchanged.

While I browsing one/1 of the tables, a 20s-30s lady approached to me, she asks me if she can exchange from one of her books to my copy of Lois Lowry’s “The Giver”. I give to her, she told me that I can take her one/1 copy which I forgot the title. I asked her, if I can choose from her books, I took her hardbound copy of Nicholas Sparks’ “Dear John”.

Here are the other books I exchanged, aside from the aforementioned book:

Alice Sebold’s “The Almost Moon”;
Linda Gravett &/and Robin Throckmorton’s Bridging The Generation Gap;
Dr. Tedd Goldfinger &/and Lynn F. Nicholson’s “The Wine Lover’s Healthy Weight Loss Plan”;
“Writer’s’ and Artists’ Yearbook 2008”
Vicente B. Foz’s “The Labor Code of the Philippines”

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - Trailer 1 - 1080p HD [Official]




I have mixed reviews about this trailer of the Narnia film. I don’t know why.

I don't remember that the White Queen is in the book version of The Voyage of Dawn Treader. Both Peter and Susan are not in the book. I don’t know why they, the filmmakers, include them in the film version.

Here are my thoughts on Twitpic, TweetPhoto, and Twitgoo.

Here are my thoughts on Twitpic, TweetPhoto, and Twitgoo.

Twitgoo.

Twitgoo’s homepage is similar to the Twitter profile of a person who has a Twitter account. It makes Twitgoo’s website simple-to-use, and easy-to-navigate.

My criticism is Twitgoo has no keyword for searching photos.

Twitgoo has We Love sections, namely People We Love and Apps* We Love.

According to the website, Twitgoo is powered by Photobucket.

Twitpic.

Twitpic has simple-to-use, and easy-to-navigate. Most applications in the iPhone App Store has offer Twitpic, whether they sure paid applications, or free applications.

My criticisms are these: my photo became a big photo; and I can’t add tags.

TweetPhoto.

What I like about TweetPhoto?

TweetPhoto has:
Interactivity;
Geolocation;
Tags;
Photo statistics;
Users can like a photo on TweetPhoto via Facebook;
Users can: click the “thumbs up” icon if they like the photo; click the “thumbs down” icon if they don’t like the photo; and click the “star” icon if the photo became their favorite, uploaded by the user

What I don’t like about TweetPhoto:

iPhone users can only upload photos via the TweetPhoto application, iPod Touch users can’t upload photos via the TweetPhoto application.

* Apps is short for Applications.

“Apple Store App Comes to Apple App Store.”

Yes, you read it right. “Apple Store App Comes to Apple App Store.”

When I after read the article, from the Mashable iPhone/iPod Touch application, I said to myself, ”Ah, okay.”

When I touched the iTunes application of my iPod Touch, it worked. I asked myself, “Is this true?” while browsing the aforementioned application. Until now, I still can’t believe that the iTunes is working.

When my parents gave it (the iPod Touch) to me, the application called iTunes is not working for months, until I read the aforementioned article from Mashable.

Royal Family Mall, Valenzuela City

I visited the mall called Royal Family Mall, here in Valenzuela City was last Thursday in years. I don’t remember the last time was there. Confused? Let me try to explain.

Royal Family Mall was in the business since June 12, 1998. It was the day the mall open to the public, the same day of our Independence Day. I also eat my lunch either at Jollibee or at McDonald’s, when I attended my CAT during my high school days. There were also popular chains of Chowking, Greenwich, and Otto.

I don’t remember the last time was visited the aforementioned mall, except for one thing.

Last Thursday, after I got my mother’s Postal ID from Valenzuela City Hall, I decided to eat my lunch at the Jollibee branch, on a mall called Royal Family Mall, here in Valenzuela City.

My mother’s sister mentioned that Puregold would replace the aforementioned mall.

Howl and Twitterrific

Howl and Twitterrific are both Twitter applications on iPhone and iPod Touch.

First, my thoughts on the application called Twitterrific.

Twitterrific is the very first Twitter application on my iPod Touch that I used. Twitterrific has 3 features that I like. These are: translation/translate, multiple accounts, Searches, and Trends.

The multiple accounts, Searches and Trends on the main page of Twitterrific, when you click the icon of it on, yoir iPhone or iPod Touch.

What I also like about Twitterrific, is each tweet is color-coded. For the tweets of the people you follow, or the people who follow you is similar to dark blue, but it is a little bit of light blue.

For the mentions, it is orange-like color. For direct messages, it is blue. For your tweets, it is green,

As for the translation/translate feature, simply touch the tweet that is written in another language. You may ask, how about, those tweets that are combination of English with another language? Same procedure as the other one, simply touch the tweet that is written in English with another language.

First, my thoughts on the application called Howl.

As for Howl, I don’t have positive remarks or comments on Howl. It needs improvements.

For me, the criticism is every time it reloads for new tweets, it goes to the latest tweets. The good/positive remark or comment is every time you create a new tweet, you will see the numbers of how many characters left. It is in the center of the screen of the tweet you are creating.

Movie Review: Shrek Forever After

I watched Shrek Forever After, last Sunday, on Cinema 4/Four of TriNoma. It was unexpectedly that I going to watch the aforementioned film/movie.

The movie was okay for me. There are some jokes aren't funny, and there some jokes are funny. It was my first time, to watch a movie in 3D, by all by myself.

My oldest sibling thought that I haven't watched Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time. He learned that I did already watch it last Thursday, when mom told about it. So I watch movie Shrek, he watch the movie Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time.

Some thoughts on the debut album of Kris Allen.



I admit that I’m a Kris Allen fan. I’m a fan of him, because the songs he interpreted it on the season 8 of American Idol, and the same time, I like some of his songs from his self-titled album.

My favorite songs from his self-titled album are:
• Live Like We’re Dying
• Before We Come Undone^
• Written All Over My Face^
• Alright With Me^
• Heartless^^

Some of the songs from the album, which are I don’t like. Because some of it, are too slow, or too sentimental for me. The song, Heartless, is one of my favorite cover versions. I hope and I wish that, it would have a music video of it.

^ These songs are my favorite songs from the list above.
^^ This song is originally performed by the controversial Kanye West, and the band, The Fray, had a cover version of it.

Movie Review: Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time (film)

The movie was based on the video game: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Despite the film having the same title as and being primarily based on the video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, elements from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, two other titles from the Prince of Persia video game franchise, are also incorporated.

Before I watched the movie.

I watched the movie, Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time, with my mom and a female cousin yesterday in TriNoma in Quezon City. Originally, we were going to watch Shrek Forever After, but this cousin of mine said to my mom that they already watched it on Walter-Mart in Sta. Maria, Bulacan.

During the time I watched movie.

Entirely, the movie was weak. It was slow-paced, dragging. The acting is both dull and weak. The direction was not that impressive.

The only impressive was stunts made in the movie, and the memorable acting was from Alfred Molina. And the only memorable fight scene was from the bald guy, when he is getting the dagger.
The cinematography and the editing were not that impressive. And the hilarious scene, for me, was that, Alfred Molina’s character found again the characters of Dastan and Tamina, with that ostrich.

So far, this is my review for the aforementioned film.

Facebook application, and Echofon on Facebook.

I’ve been using the Facebook application more than Echofon for Facebook application, since I downloaded it on my iPod Touch. I have reasons.

The Facebook application:

Pros:

• It has more features.
• It remembers your email address.

Cons:

• If someone borrows your iPhone/iPod Touch, and this person is expert on spamming emails.
• You cannot update, or edit your profile.
• You cannot delete some information of your profile.
• You cannot delete a friend.
• You cannot delete what you posted on your wall.
• You cannot upload a photo.

Echofon on Facebook:

Pros:

• It has “Keep me logged in” feature.
• It has less features that the Facebook application.
• Your friends who are experts on spamming email addresses cannot spam your email address.
• You can upload a photo.

Cons:

• It has fewer features.
• You cannot update, or edit your profile.
• You cannot delete some information of your profile.
• You cannot delete a friend.
• You cannot delete what you posted on your wall.

So far, this is my review for the aforementioned applications on iPhone and on iPod Touch. Echofon is formerly known as Twitterfon.

Did 'Lost' Leave its Viewers Lost?

Multisource political news, world news, and entertainment news analysis by Newsy.com



I’m one of the people, who are still lost, in the last episode, of the recently concluded hit TV series, Lost.

One/1 reason is that, Jack is died in the flash-sideways timeline. And I check, it on Wikipedia and Lostpedia, that Jack is died/dead, in the flash-sideways timeline.

But my question/s to this idea are these.
* Are Jack and rest of the group really dead or died?
* How did Jack and rest of the group dead or died?
* If the flash-sideways timeline, is a type of purgatory, what if one or some of them, decided to “move on” and they decided to stay behind go back to the reality, and ready to die?

So far, these are my questions, although there are questions are still unanswered. Kakaloko intindihin.
