Before anything else, here’s my Day 13 Project 365. The faucet was left open by our house help while she was cleaning the car. I grabbed the opportunity and wasted more water.

Anyway, Chuvaness is having a contest over at her blog. All readers have to do is to create a style and they could get a chance to win one of the 3 Sony Ericsson phones she’s giving away. I totally watned to join. I still do actually. It’s just that she wants the participants to use looklet.com. It’s not bad. But there aren’t that much choices for the pieces. And we can’t clip product pictures from other sites. But they do have a model, which allows the user to see how their outfit would look on an actual person. Except that what if you’re 10 times the size of the model they’re using? Wouldn’t the results be a little different? A lot different?

I’m still using Polyvore for my paper-dolling, just-because-i-can’t-afford-it-doesn’t-mean-i-can’t-put-an-outfit-together moods. And looklet has nothing on Polyvore.

Compare.

Just thought I’d post the rest of my Project 365 photos here. (I actually upload more than 1 a day but for this blog here, I’ll only post one/day. And because it’s just weird having jumped all the way to Day 12 when 1 to 11 cannot be found… here are the pictures from the previous days (actually I’m just looking for an excuse to post here. new blog excitement and all that other fuzzy feeling).

Of course you can view the rest of my Project 365 pictures at my other blog (which I’m thinking of shutting down to consolidate all my posts here) or at my Flickr.

So I’ve officially moved. This site’s far from being finish – there’s still much work to be done, but I think it’s good to go. Many thanks to Weak and Dex for doing the dirty work for me (troubleshooting the free hosting and other things it would normally take me months to figure out).

So now that the move has been discussed let’s move on to more important things. Like say, John Lloyd’s movie with Vilma Santos and Luis Manzano? Saw it with both Grace and Weak at Greenbelt 3 Cinema (where movie tickets leave a gaping hole in my wallet and in my heart huhu). I’m not about to say that the movie revolutionized Philippine Cinema, because it hasn’t. And I’d rather tape my butt shut before I say it has. But it sure did have it’s winning moments.

(Warning Spoilers!)

1. The gay florist friend criticizing Vilma’s look. “Ang buhok mukang librarian. Ang salamin mukang teacher. Ang damit mukang principal…” or something like that.
2. Sampalan moment between JLC and the Star for all seasons. The only part in the movie where Grace, Weak and I weren’t laughing.
3. John Lloyd and Lucky dancing, with matching himas sa muka. That was pretty awesome.
4. Vilma getting corn rows.
5. Vilma locked in the diner’s freezer.
6. and the way (A certain somebody died). It was almost as awesome as Regina George getting hit by a bus.
7. Last but not the least, Pamela. She was the only person in the cast supposedly based in New York who actually felt authentic to me.

Of course this movie also had a lot of FAIL moments.

1. WHERE ARE ALL THE GLAMOROUS PEOPLE? They were in New York for chrissakes! Their gay party scene not only lacked HOT GAY MEN (which I’m pretty sure is one of New York’s surplus), they lacked GAY MEN period! Unless of course the premise was that the party was exclusive OR the bar kinda sucked.
2. John Lloyd lacked the grooming, glam, and fierceness of an actually gay man. He didn’t feel gay at all. I’m not saying that he should act like a total queen, it’s just that all he did was cry or tear up in the movie which is what he does most of the time in his other movies – so what’s the difference? How is that gay?
3. Nikki Valdes’s house – I’ve seen way too many movies that were set in New York.. movies, tv series, even read way too many books – it almost feels like I’ve lived there myself. And let me tell you, the movie, tv series, book New York houses were nothing like Nikki Valdes’s house. Her house was too Pinoy. From the dining tables and  chairs to the way her dining room was structured. It was not New York at all.
4. Rafael Rosel’s accent. All I can say is – WATDAFAK?
5. Their extras. They kept looking at the camera, overdoing their lines. Where did the production team get their extras?? They could’ve just hired me and I would have done a better job than all of them combined.
6. The controversial kissing scene. What was that????? It was worse than a typical Koreanovela kissing scene (the kind wherein the leads just stand there, two closed lips glued together, and the camera moves around for a good 15 seconds to give the illusion that they’re really kissing and their heads are moving). JLC’s and Lucky’s didn’t even last 5 frigging seconds! And they were supposed to be in love? What were they thinking? That they were a GP-rated movie?

I felt like I was watching Kimmy Dora instead of In My Life. It was more laughing than crying, not that that’s a bad thing. I was just expecting way too much from the movie, I guess.

Here’s Grace and Weak after we watched the movie.
