MRT - Misty Railway Transit

There is something new in the MRT North Avenue station (not sure, however, if all the stations have it.) Misty blowers that, at first, I thought was something like in the movies when a pipe gets a hole and releases poisonous gas. But, when I took a closer glance, they were really built-in tiny sprayers to emit mists.

I still am not sure if they are mists to keep the station cool, but it seems like it. Wasn't able to check the news last night, so maybe tonight it will be one of the headlines. 

In all fairness, at first, I was worried, then I looked around they were everywhere, then I thought... "Cool..." Albeit, I didn't feel it, anyway, I hope it helps.

Look! This is the Metro PH

Finally, I reached this part of the metro where I can see where I was. I can now say, "almost there." I wish someday one of the top management or govt officials will experience this and when I see him/her I'mma say hi and ask: "So, how's it goin'?" 

Look! This is the Metro PH. And I still hope...

A Date with Scarlett Johansson

Finally got a chance to date THE beautiful Scarlett Johansson! The first time I saw its trailer, I got so excited and interested. Let me just give a little review about it. Don't worry, I am not a spoiler, so I will be very careful here. ;)

The storyline is so intriguing. The story is intense and I think whoever thought and created this film is a genius. Although I am not a believer of the evolution and the big bang theory (since they were somewhat introduced in the movie) I really admire the conceptualization and ingenuity of the story. 

I love science, and I guess that's one of the main reasons why I got so into it. The acting of Ms. Scarlett Johansson is just superb! I have to admit that I'm seeing some Agent Romanoff's scene when she was being interrogated by the Russian Mafia in The Avengers movie. But her acting prowess in this movie is very impressive - specially her scene when the drugs finally take its effect in her body. 

That said, I just want to point out that some of the scenes in the movie towards the end kind of disappointed me, in which it was very obvious that they were indeed just shot in a big green screen, specially during a scene when everything turned white. Well, I was hoping that they should have done better in editing or filming it so it won't appear as noticeable. 

But to cap it off, the movie is fantastic. If, at this point, you're still thinking of watching it or not, I suggest you go buy those tickets and head to the big screen. You won't regret spending some bucks and time for it. If you're not as technical as I was, you won't even get to notice what I just said about the CG.

I always take notes when watching a movie, but I was not able to write down as exactly how it was said in the movie but there was a quote that goes like this: People desire power and authority that result to chaos and destruction... Same as ignorance. 

(Short) Movie Review: Noah 2014

I decided to watch the controversial movie, Noah, and unfortunately, out of dismay, I fell asleep (and I was still at the part where the "fallen angel" captured them.) 

Sad to say, I already got disappointed at the very start - I thought it was not the best graphics and I can't just wait to say that I don't like the movie already. First of all, the reason why I watched it was just to justify what other people say about it - so I decided to see it myself. So basically this review is just for the first few minutes of the movie.

Yes, it is not as detailed as in the bible, just like what hollywood does in most of the books-turned-into-movies. Cinematography for me is very poor. The story is very slow - the reason I fell asleep. Same as what happened to me when my friends and I watched "The Son of God" - felt like I wasted my time and money. To make it short and simple, as short as I watched it, I'm going to rate the film 3/10. 

Recommendation: Rather than watching it, better read the bible instead. More realistic, intense and action-packed! Same recommendation goes to the Son of God movie.

Gym Workout - Texting

Never thought that you also have to workout your fingers for texting at the gym. This guy was in the same exact position the moment I started working out until I finished my fourth leg workout. You'll know a rich kid who just happens to make it seem like he's working out, well in fact he's just chillin at the gym. This gym is just too expensive for you to just text. Haha. But I have to appreciate his decision to rather stay at the gym than be out partying on a Friday night. Haha. :) good job on that part though. :)

GO Experience the RUSH in the Metro!

I've been tweeting to DOTC Philippines about what's happening in the MRT this morning. I must say it was the craziest morning. Been stopping here and there due to "red signal." There was even a sudden stop of train, like really SUDDEN, that made people in the train stumbling down to the floor. Just as we went off the freaky train ride, people were all running late. Like literally RUNNING late.

I just hope the management of MRT knows that these working people's employers won't give a poop to why they were late (due to the defective trains and ineffective system.) These people might get memos for being late, gets salary deductions, promotions might get held, and a whole lot of serious scenarios just because of what happened this morning.

Sadly, it seems like the people managing the Metro Railway Transit do not care just the same.

Suggestion to the management: Experience it, even just for a week. Get in line. Buy your tickets. Ride the train. Get out of the train.
 If you're going to take this suggestion seriously, PLEASE don't do it during off-peak hours of the day. Go experience the rush in the metro!

SOLD OUT! Tickets At The Metro: Blockbuster!

There was a massive crowd and a very long line this morning at the MRT station. What's new right? And to be prepared for the next day, I was suppose to buy another stored value ticket tonight to skip another line at the ticketing booth tomorrow morning (I guess other commuters are doing the same.) But look what's the headline at the stations tonight (see image)! Can't believe this!!! Adding up to the inefficiency of our dearest MRT, most exit/entry machines are under maintenance too. Making it more difficult not just to get inside the station but also getting out of it. This is just crazy. And the fact that I even exerted effort to type all this, gives me the idea that I am REALLY REALLY FRUSTRATED, ANNOYED AND UPSET ABOUT THE MRT. 

Just a quick shoutout to #DOTC @DOTCPhilippines #MRTPhilippines - I thought you folks are making the system better. Don't just install useless LED TVs that says "No scheduled train," I think you should first install a good system and machines that would cater more on fixing the basic things: Annoying Tickets that frequently gets rejected, tickets supply, Entry/Exit Machines, etc... Why don't you guys try your own system? Go experience it first hand. For sure, you'll understand why people are ranting about you and your systems.
