Another sci fi movie. wee! I’m not a big fan of science fiction (reminds me too much of Prof. Paluga’s discussions) but there are some movies who gets through, especially if the cast includes a hunk or two. lol.

Jumper is an adaptation from a novel by Stephen Gould about people called Jumpers. Because of a certain genetic mutation (other reviews called it a genetic anomaly), a particular lineage have developed the gift of transporting themselves through space and time.

Hayden Cristensen discovers his gift only to find out that this ability has existed for thousands of years and is at war with people who wants to eliminate this entire lineage.

I’m beginning to notice a recurrent theme in most sci-fi shows I watch–genetic mutation and the battle between keeping this gift or not. Xmen, Heroes, and now Jumper, all posits the same theme.

Can’t wait to see this movie.

The UP Mindanao Dance Ensemble will be showcasing once more their dancing prowess on February 8, 2008, 6:30 pm at the SM entertainment plaza. The Dance Ensemble specializes in jazz, ethnic, and neo ethnic dances. Founded and trained by Prof. Alma Brigole, the Dance Ensemble have never failed to regale their audience with their expertise and discipline.

The group has been through a lot of changes, and this year they will be performing under a new adviser, Ms. Kristina Tan with Ms. Jonasyl Auxtero as artistic director.  Both girls were active members of the Dance Ensemble during their university days. The concert is held annually, and is one of the most awaited events in UP Mindanao. Everybody is invited, no tickets needed because it’s for free.:)

Kudos to Pearl, Rose, and the rest of the Dance Ensemble members for preparing what I’m sure of is another breath taking performance.

Last Saturday I was lucky again to join the Davao Bloggers Food trip at Salutti, an Italian Restaurant in Casa de Habana compound on Rizal St., next to Caude’s Le Cafe de Ville, and just before Someplace Else.

Salutti, which means cheers in Italian is yet one of the best restaurants in Davao I’ve been to. The place is quite small but very charming, with good lighting fixtures, clean lines, a bar, and a patio where you can dine al fresco. Salutti’s owner Tricie Arcenas graciously treated us to an afternoon of gastronomic delights that came in five sets: spuntini, insalate, panini, pasta, and dolci.

Salutti’s Salpicao

i am annoyed. as in super duper annoyed. i had a good day today…or so I thought. i was having fun with someone when i got an sms from a brod. there’s talk going around saying a brod and i are having a relationship. ok, im a little used to the chismis. what i couldn’t take however was that this someone, who i thought trusted me went absolutely nuts. yeah. so like us. one minute we’re okay and the next we’re fighting over something as irrelevant as a chismis.

and now i have to contend with a very nasty chismis. perpetrated none the less by people i thought i trusted. well. i should have known. this guy however is different though. i’ve always known he’d be like this and i’ve avoided rocking the boat until now…when i was unfortunate enough to leave my phone with him while i was talking with the brod to get a hold of the whole issue.

we were supposed to have coffee but i cut it off and opted to go home. i needed to write it all down before i burst. I had to escape his rantings too. for a quiet guy he sure can rant louder than me.

on a brighter side im thinking maybe this issue is trying to tell me something. maybe it’s trying to tell me that i should move on, and leave this guy since he believes easily and creates unnecessary havoc over some things. or…it could be telling me its about time to move on and live my own life apart from up, ultimately from the confrat also, or at least until the issue dies a natural death.

what the heck, one more semester and im off to go. i dont need this. not now when im swamped with so much work i hardly have time for anything else.

i dont want to give up both. but from what i see they could not coexist peacefully, especially not after this. which is which? hahay. i have this feeling im going to let go of both and pursue other things instead. i dont need the headaches. do you hear that people?

*and now i find i cant even post this on my other blog because for some insane reason the server is down. shit. guess the multiply and this blog will have to take the brunt. this is really not a good day. :!:
