I can't believe that i haven't posted in over 3 months.. here's a post that was left in my drafts during the first week of jan..
THE YEAR THAT WAS
2005 was actually a really good year for me.. i managed to achieve the goals i had set at the end of 2004.. i became an events director.. handled TV commercials (just small ones) and did promo work on movies..(yes, thats "PROMO" work for movies.. sicko)
The most impressive accomplishment i made this year was managing to live alone for a whole year without missing a single payment on rent, electricity, water, cell phone, and credit card.. i can imagine i'd be rolling in dough right now had i opted to stay at home, but there's really something liberating about being on your own.. especially when you're supporting yourself..
now i've got loftier goals for the year.. for the past two years i've been caught up on wanting to make money and be on my own that i lost sight of why i joined this business in the first place.. i hope to get started in directing video this year.. and hopefully some day move on to film.. not getting any younger :)
so thats my goal for 2006.. keep your fingers crossed..
I know directing may sound like a long shot for a new year's resolution, but it's a whole of a lot more realistic than "losing weight" hehe

FAMILY REUNION
We had a nice family reunion the other day.. here's a shot of my Kuya Pao and Kuya Mig..

hehe.. Kidding.. Pao actually just went up to him in a bar at Cebu to introduce himself.. and he told him that they were related.. true to form, Mig seemed like a really nice guy, and even bought Pao a beer.. thats why from here on end, Pao wants to be known as "The guy who Mig Ayesa bought a beer".
(Btw, he was on the phone with his sis.. my cuz Patty who was screaming her head off once Pao made him talk to her on the phone.)
btw... you all have to see the new SUPERMAN RETURNS TEASER TRAILER

Man i've been itching to get to a computer to write about this..
HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was really happy when i found out that Director Mike Newell was going to helm it, i was relieved they finally got a British director.. simply because i felt, that no matter how much i enjoyed the first three movies.. the directors wernt able to capture the brit humour that has helped make the books so lovable.. But i was also a little bit worried because i'm not sure Newell had done any movie that required effects.. When i asked direk erik.. he said he was positive Newell could pull it off..
And how!
He got it down pat.. ESPECIALLY the humour.. The first two movies had a more kiddie feel to it.. which i can understand cuz Harry was still a boy.. the third one was good.. but it concentrated more on the dark tone.. especially with the dementors.. The story just moved nicely along from point A to point B and so forth.. but the fourth one had the perfect blend of comedy, action, and had the "Kilig Factor"..
My niece went crazy during the bath scene of Harry.. it was hilarious cuz she was trying hard not to scream.. hehe
I think Ron stole the show though.. from his very first line of "Bloody Hell" when he woke up, practically every line he delivered was a crack up.. especially the part where he was trying on his "Dress Robes".. hehe
Ralph Feinnes was good as Valdemort.. more creepy than truly evil though.. but in the minimum exposure he had, he made the most of it.. but i still feel that he would've been better as Sirius Black. I'm honestly not too keen on Gary Oldman playing the role.. he seems a bit too hyper.. i always pictured Sirius as calm and collected.. more of a man's man type.. anyways..
oh and i dont think they casted Fleur properly.. there are some angles where she does look pretty.. but nothing boombastic if ya know what i mean.. i know Chuck had no qualms with the casting of Krum hehe
All in all, i think it was by far the BEST of the whole series.. it really kicked ass.. i hope newell directs Part 5.. he earned the job if ya ask me
Oh and if you watch in Eastwood, you can't enter the theater without moo fries and honey garlic chicken wings from Tizzer's..
thats just wrong

R & R
I don't think there was anyone else on the planet that was looking more forward to the past holiday break than i was.. i was able to get a great deal from the Mandarin so i stayed there for two nights.. and i dunno.. there's something about that bed that really did me in.. once you lie down, it just really sucks you in.. next thing you know, you wake up hours later.. or i could just soak in the tub for hours.. or sit on the huge lounge chair and read a good book (I finally finished angels and demons)..
It was great.. for practically two whole days.. living the life, and not having a care in the world.. just me and my girl..
Then i got the bill, and crashed back to reality.. hehe but it was worth every cent :)

TV TIME
This past two weeks, i've been catching up with my TV series watching.. i found an awesome place to buy american series'.. even ongoing ones.. the best new one i've seen so far is Prison Break, starring Wentworth Miller, the dude in the Mariah Carey Video "We Belong Together".. the guy makes my girl drool so i try not to watch it when she's around hehe.. kidding..
It's really good.. no spoilers here.. but if you like action thrillers in the mold of 24, you'll like this..
I've been watching the first 5 episodes of the second season of Desperate housewives, Lost, and Joey.. and i got the first season of Entourage which i heard was great.. so i'm looking forward to that.. i also like "My Name Is Earl" starring Jason Lee who i've always thought was hilarious..
Talk about making the most out of my free time, huh?

Movie Mania
After my davao project, i had a lot of free time on my hands.. especially since we didnt push through with the Bicol-Penafrancia event we were supposed to hold.. so they sent me to Bacolod to scout for our next event this coming october.. incidentally thats where i'm posting from..
I'm at Gaisano right now.. bored as hell.. waiting for the Cebu Pacific 6:45 flight for manila.. anyways, prior to my trip here, i had a lot of down time.. i was able to finish the second season of Arrested Development.. and i loved it!
Apart from that, i was able to catch up with my movie watching.. and i'm so glad i did..
First off.. i watched Sky High
If you haven't watched this movie yet, you officially suck. The movie is awesome. i was shocked i loved it as much as i did.. because i had never seen the trailer.. i just read a review from a guy that usually gets my taste.. so i was optimistic.. It turns out the movie was everything i had dreamnt of when i was a kid.. having super powers.. going to a school of heroes.. the way it was executed was perfect..
Though it's a Disney film, Disney was smart enough to realize that they had a bigger market than kids.. and the result was a movie that people of all ages could appreciate.. The jokes were hilarious and witty.. and the action sequences were cool.. My favorite line was Will Stronghold's... (masterfully played by Will and Grace's Michael Angarano)
"Surprised? So am I."
Next i watched The Longest Yard
Same Adam Sandler formula.. same hilarious results.. especially since they added Chris Rock into the mix.. my favorite though was Kevin Nash playing the Estrogen charged prison guard.. who woulda thought the feared wrestler once known as Diesel would play femininity so well?
Finally.. i watched Crash
I don't cry during movies.. really i dont.. the last time a movie made me well up was "Life is Beautiful".. but even then i didn't tear.. But Crash is something else.. This is most probably the best movie i have seen in a long time. I've watched it twice.. and twice i was brought to tears.. Not the bawling like a baby type, mind you.. hehe (defensive, ba?)but i actually felt a lump in my throat and the tears in my eyes..
The writing was amazing.. the ensemble cast seamlessly fit into each others lives one way or another.. Sandra Bullock showed another side to her acting.. proving she isn't just Ms. Congeniality..
You gotta see this movie.. i would be shocked if this was over looked by the Academy for next year..
Other special mention movies:
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind & Miracle
I loved em both.. just too lazy to write a review hehe

STAR STRUCK
The number one question i get asked when i tell people i work in the field of Entertainment, is "What stars have you worked with??" and "Are you friends with any of them??"... the truth is.. i've worked with many stars.. but i'm not really friends with any of them.. and thats pretty much by choice. I've seen careers go awry because of ruined friendships with stars.. so i try not to talk to them apart from work.. there are two actors.. TJ and BJ who i met before they were actors.. i don't really keep in touch with either of them anymore.. just due to circumstances..
But today, i intend to show everyone just a few of the biggest stars that i work with on an everyday basis.. starting with MR. O:

Mr. O..
doesn't ring any bells? you gotta be kidding me..
i'm sure you recognize him in his star making role in the Academy Award winning film..

Cool huh?
Next up is Ms. A

This import from China also rose to fame in the movie "THE INCREDIBLES", which made use of her.. umm.. "fiery" personality..
Maybe this will help you jog your memory...

See what i mean?
Now we move on to BUDDHA..

One of the greatest character actors our generation has ever seen.. his powerful performances in one of cinemas most epic trilogies was stuff of legend..
Here he is on the set.. in one of his "method acting meditation internalization modes"

Last but not the least, we have ARIEL..

This man-mountain scored two straight hits with his debut movie and it's sequel.. which was the highest grossing movie of 2004.. who is he?

There ya go.. that's a day in the life.. the people i work with.. pretty cool, huh?

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
i'm a big fan of the first film.. i still watch it again up to now.. but all i can say after having watched the movie last sunday is..
DEEP ROY RULES ALL!!!!
Deep Roy, the dude that played the Ooompa Loompa's stole the show! He was hilarious! not to mention Johnny Depp being on the top of his game.. Charlie.. played by Freddie Highmore, was fantastic as the likeable Charlie.. he rocked in Finding Neverland so i knew he'd be good in this..
i reallllllllyyyyy loved the film.. and im pleased with how Tim Burton manage to Burtonesque it without out massacre-ing it at the same time..
if ya haven't seen it yet... what the heck are ya waiting for????

POTTER WATCH
Got some goodies for all you potter-philes out there..
introducing the girl that will be despised by every teenage girl and (even some adult women) in the world today...
Katie Leung is CHO CHANG


She's ok i guess.. coulda been someone prettier.. i heard Heart Evangelista tried out for the role but wasn't accepted cuz they wanted someone unknown.. they shoulda looked for a young Kristen Kreuk hehe


I found it kinda creepy when they showed the trailer of "Goblet of Fire" and the girl behind me, right after they showed the close up of Harry, and she goes, "oh my god, Harry is so PAPA!" not sure what that meant exactly.. just found it weird cuz he's a kid.. then they showed the close up of Hermione at the ball.. then all of a sudden i knew EXACTLY what she meant hehe

There's been some buzz about whether GOB will show the scene of Harry in the bath with the egg.. hehehe.. i know my niece is waiting for it..
The Others

Diggory

Krum

Mad Eye Moody
After reading the sixth book.. i'm totally psyched for the next movie.. it really sucks that we prolly have to wait another two years for the finale..
NEXT
Now that i've finished Desperate housewives, i have no idea what to watch next.. i gotta say that i really enjoyed DH! For some reason i thought i wouldn't.. i guess after watching 24 and Lost, it was nice to watch something lighter for a change.. of course i didn't know it would get darker and darker..
So now i'm waiting for the 2nd season of lost, desperate and arrested development..
till then.. darna? hehe

On June 30, 2006.. Once Again, You Will Believe A Man Can fly...

This is the final logo for Brian Singer's "SuperMan Returns".. Looks pretty cool.. was never really a fan of Superman but i am a Brian Singer fan.. even though i'm dissapointed he ditched the X Men Franchise he so masterfully built, i am confident this movie will kick ass..
Getting Desperate
I finshed the first season of LOST last week.. i said i wouldn't watch it untill it was out on DVD cuz i dont think i could wait a week for every episode so i just marathon it.. (I'm spoiled that way hehe).. thats a habit i learned from watching 24.. but i have an eerie feeling it began with my frustration with "SLAM DUNK".. the only Anime i ever got addicted to.. hehe
Now i'm watching Desperate Housewives, and its really really good.. i'm on the 6th episode and i've been enjoying.. i wish they changed the title to something more masculine sounding.. so that when i mention that i watch it to other people, it doesn't sound too embarrassing hehe..
Long Lost Relative!?
My brother called me up the other day to tell me that he found out.. i didn't bother to ask how.. that we're related to the half-filipino contestant in INXS: Rockstar, Mig. Apparently his great grandmother and my great grandfather were brother-sister.. cool but i'm still not rooting for him.. hehe..
there's actually a lot of talent on that show.. the black guy with the mohawk.. jordis.. and i forgot the other names... but they're all pretty good..
now if i could just stop forgetting to watch the show hehe..

More than meets the Eye...
I did a triple backflip when i logged on to the net and saw that one of my favorite cartoons of all time will finally be shown as a live action movie!
(hurt my butt though.. i didn't say it was a perfect backflip)
after 21 years.. (holy crap i'm old) The Transformers will finally come to the big screen!
July 4, 2007! mark your calendar folks!!!

The movie will be directed by Michael Bay.. whom i'm not too keen of.. but i think he'd be a more or less good fit for the material.. was hoping for John Woo though..
Anyways, i hope its good.. and they better use Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime!! i heard rumours it would be George Clooney.. nothing against Clooney.. he would've been a good choice had Peter Cullen never existed...
Keep your fingers crossed!

The Month that was
Greetings and Salutations, visitors of Sanity Lane.. its been awhile since i've been able to post.. a combination of laziness when free and a busy sked when working will do it to ya every time.. right now i'm in between projects.. so i don't really have my hands full..
after i got back from Palawan, the next day i had to direct a concert for Araw Ng Maynila.. featuring the Brown Man Revival, Troy Montero, Session Road, and Hale.. i was pretty surprised with how popular Hale is.. the women went bonkers over the singer.. but the thing is.. the guy looked like he just got out of bed.. even one of the girls i was working with was gushing on how good looking the singer was.. i dunno.. i dint see it.. but i will admit that they are a really good band..
It was nice seeing a band and singers that actually take time to write new songs.. instead of rummaging through their old tape collection and seeing what they could rip off.. It seems like Nina, for all her popularity only does remakes.. Same goes for Kyla.. Even MYMP.. but i gotta admit, i do like their version of "Tell me where it hurts" after seeing them perform it live on myx.. Even movies nowadays.. i'm curious whats the last movie title that showed that wasn't A) based on an old cheesy love song, or B) spoofed from an old movie..
very disapointing..
Gluttony Is Thy Name
I've been on a Mcdonalds trip.. i've actually gone 8 STRAIGHT DAYS of eating Mcdonalds for either lunch or dinner.. or.. umm... Midnight snack.. hehe..
after 8 days i've found the perfect meal that caters to my taste, and it costs less than 100 bucks, and can be achieved in Four easy steps..
Sanity Lane is Proud to Present...
The Sanity Burger!
Step 1:
Take any burger from Mcdonalds at rip the top off. I've tried it with practically every burger there, (Mc Chicken, Fillet o Fish, Quarter Pounder, Etc) but the winner hands down, would definitely have to be the Double CheeseBurger.

Step 2:
Take some of the BBQ sauce.. the one usually used for nuggets (five bucks a pop) and pour it the beef.

Step 3: Grab a handful of french fries and lay it on the burger patty..

Step 4: Slap the top bun back on the burger, and lightly press it down, allowing the BBQ Sauce to spread with the fries..

and Viola! you're set! hehe..
All this posting has gotten me hungry.. i'm off to Mcdonalds.. hehe...
Bon Apetit!

Take any burger from Mcdonalds at rip the top off. I've tried it with practically every burger there, (Mc Chicken, Fillet o Fish, Quarter Pounder, Etc) but the winner hands down, would definitely have to be the Double CheeseBurger.
Step 2:
Take some of the BBQ sauce.. the one usually used for nuggets (five bucks a pop) and pour it the beef.
Step 3: Grab a handful of french fries and lay it on the burger patty..
Step 4: Slap the top bun back on the burger, and lightly press it down, allowing the BBQ Sauce to spread with the fries..
and Viola! you're set! hehe..
All this posting has gotten me hungry.. i'm off to Mcdonalds.. hehe...
Bon Apetit!

Check out the teaser of DA VINCI CODE.. looks super cool! I really hope they remain true to the book...
i'm so sleepy.. its not funny how sleepy i am.. but its only 12:30 pm.. yes.. PM..
must remind myself that sloth is one of the seven deadly sins..
not helping... *yawn*
oh yeah and.. i find out i'm destined to be a sith lord!

You were destined to have a Red Lightsaber.
Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is
associated with energy, war, danger, strength,
power, and determination as well as passion and
desire. You have seen the Strength and Power of
the Dark Side of the Force and have you thirst
for more of it.
What Colored Lightsaber Would You Have?

Gadget of the month
*Disclaimer: Writer tends to gush when really excited about something*
Actually, "Gadget of the next two years".. hehe.. i finally got my phone!

The Nokia 6680
After having a revolving door for a cellphone for the past few months.. i finally got the phone i've been waiting for! I'm really glad i decided to wait and not get the Nokia 6630 when it came out.. i was thisclose to getting it.. but Miss P from my office.. as she always does... got it before i did.. thus bursting my bubble once again.. (she's done it with the 6600 & 7610)
Since my trusty old Nokia 3650 died in Iloilo (of natural causes), i've been using Nokia models 6610, a 3310, an 8250, a 6150,a 6600 and a 6230.. all were someone elses phone not being used.. i didn't wanna commit to a phone till i found the one i really wanted.. so when i saw the Nokia 6680, i immediately fell in love..
I know i'll be kicking myself cuz i didn't wait for the Nokia N Series to come out, but that'll still be at the end of the year.. luckily for me, my addict subscription was due so i just had to add a little more to get the phone.. and i'm loving it!

American Idol: Season 4 *YAWN*
It was a shame seeing what started out to be such a promising season of American Idol, turn into a complete snorefest. With the strongest crop of guys ever seen in the competition, it came as a shock that the final 3 left only one guy standing.. with talents such as Bo, Constantine, Anwar, and Mario Vasquez having entered the top 12, and the only standout female being Carrie Underwood, i honestly believed that would be the top 5..
Alas, it was not meant to be.. we all know what happened to Mario, Anwar and Constantine.. and now, you have an American Idol that showed very little.. if any personality.. There is no doubt she could sing.. but in leyman's terms.. "Walang Dating"..
Carrie's performance of "Alone" was one of the top 5 performances of the year.. but after that, no performance of hers blew me away.. not like Bo did practically every show..nevertheless, kudos to her.. she was the first idol to win, without ever reaching the bottom three..
In a USATODAY.com poll of readers' favorite American Idol, voters overwhelming selected Bo Bice. He had 62% of the vote, while Underwood received 38% of the vote. About 57,000 readers voted
from his very first rendition of "Drift Away".. Till his landmark acapella performance of "In A Dream"... Bo Bice made sure that, win or lose.. He will be the Idol you will remember.
Sanity Lane Awards Night
Dissapointment of the season
Anwar Robinson- For some reason Mr. Robinson just did not live up to the promise that his first audition showed.. after two great performances in the prelims("Moon River" and "What a Wonderful World") out of three ("What's going on" was just above average).. Anwar did not have a single stand out performance during his tenure in the top 12.. in fact, he's lucky he didn't get cut after his "Ain't Nobody" and "I Believe i can fly" numbers..
Runner Up:
Mario Vasquez quits... I honestly believe he could've won it..
Shocker of the season
What was more shocking.. Constantine getting ousted after his first and only bad performance since the top 12 started.. or Scott Savol wasn't even in the bottom three during that week?
Runner Up:
Anthony Federov outlasted them both. (Miracle voice all right)
Most Annoying Idol Ever
Michaela Gordon's voice was a cross between Fran Drescher and a psycho chipmunk on speed. everytime i heard her talk or sing, i felt like ripping my arm off just so i'd have something to beat her with.
Runner Up:
Scott Savol using his sob story about his mom and dad every chance he could get.. kinda got old after awhile
So anyways... hopefully we'll have a better American Idol season next year.. this one was really.. "Blah"..
i'm currently watching the second season of American Idol.. the one Ruben won.. and finally finished the first season of Arrested Development..
plus i found a place that sells old episodes of Takeshi's Castle.. WITHOUT Anjo Yllana and Smokey Manoloto.. it's so frickin' hilarious! i love that show!
Now THAT'S Entertainment!

My Angel
Have you ever met a woman who inspires you to love... Until your very essence is filled with her? You inhale her. You taste her.
You see your unborn children in her eyes, and know that your heart has at last found a home.
Your life begins with her, and without her it will surely end.
Happy Birthday My Angel

My Stupid Mouth
It was the start of the new year, and he had just broken up with his girlfriend of four years on the day after his birthday. after four years of constant fighting, he had finally had enough and for the first time in their relationship, HE initiated the break up. "Me: 1 - She: 1,343", was the count he remembered to himself.. nearly a week had passed since that fateful day of their separation.. and she was still playing hardball.. thinking that he'd be running back to her.. as he always did.. "not this time", he thought to himself.. "this is different"..
He headed off to the bank to cash in some checks he had forgotten to do the week before.. he sat in line at the bank, knowing he'd be in for a long wait.. "Today won't be a good day.." he said.. he hated mondays with a vengeance, but he didn't mind waiting in the bank cuz of Amy,the awfully cute bank teller that just started working there a couple of months ago. Amy didn't look like your typical bank teller.. she was obviously fresh out of college, had braces on, and had that slight mestiza look.. so you couldn't really tell where she was from.. she had a warm, loving smile everytime she saw him.. ok, fine... a "polite" smile.. and maybe it was for all the bank clients.. but still..
"she's fresh out from college.. so am i.. the age gap shouldn't be so big.." he thought to himself with an excited smile on his face.. of course the ever present voice spoke up as it always did, " but i don't think she spent seven years in college, moron.. so the age gap is huge."
of course it didn't really matter.. he's always been "torpe".. he never spoke to amy about anything before cuz of his jealous girlfriend... that one time he DID try speaking to her, he accidentally spat on the check while saying something.. causing the ink to blot his name out, leading to him needing his bosses countersignature before he could encash it..
but this was different.. this was the first time he saw her as a single man.. a "dashing debonaire bachelor".. "Think Cary Grant... Clark Gable.. Robert Redford" He said to himself.." Redford White you mean".. The voice shot back..
Amy then called out his name.. he liked the sound of her voice.. he loved the way he said his name.. had a nice ring to it.. " Are you gonna ask her out?" the voice inquired.. "Yes-no-...maybe? I don't know.. it would seem kinda inappropriate don't ya think?" The voice replied,"Maybe.. but then again, asking for her number isn't really a horrible crime.."
"Exuse me Sir", Amy said in her soft silky voice.. " Can i get your phone number?"
His heart stopped. his throat went dry all of a sudden.
"Say something smooth, man! you can do it!" the voice cheered him on, in obvious disbelief as well... He was by no means a hunk or a stud... a beautiful girl asking for his number was a rarity.. he can't remember the last time a girl asked for a number simply because it never happened before..
he cleared his throat, woke up from his daze and said " oh yeah! sure! definitely! can i get yours too? I've been meaning to ask you for quite sometime but-"
Amy smiled and bit her lip as he rambled on and on.. it looked as if she was trying with all her might not to laugh.. and losing that battle..
"No sir-", she interrupted..." i need to write your phone number at the back of your check.. you need to endorse it before i can encash it" she said with a beaming smile.
"ok... Pants? Meet shit.", the voice says.
"Oh. ooh. ooooohh my god.. i'm sorry!" he said, wishing that it was possible to hide under the counter and never be seen ever again. " I thought.. i was.. i.. " He wisely gave up the function of "speaking" and simply wrote the necessary details on the check and handed it back.. "I'm sorry" he said.. shaking his head.. "This is not a good day",he mutters under his breath..
Amy returned moments later with his money, still with that beaming smile that could turn sand into glass.. "Here you go, Sir... would there be anything else?", she says with a twinkle in her eye
"No.. No thank you.. " he said.. unable to make eye contact.. practically staring at the floor.. he headed out the door.. and as soon as he got out.. he slapped himself on the forehead.. "nice one, Einstein".. "Don't be too hard on yourself.. i misunderstood her as well.." the voice said sympathetically.. "Yeah but don't you see? i should've realized this right away! things like this don't usually happen to me.." "You'll never know man.. you're a single guy now... first time in for years for you to be on the market.."
"Excuse me... Sir...?" a voice rang through the background... That same silky voice.. he turned around.. Lo and behold, it was Amy.. "Oh Hi.. I was just-" he said.. realizing he was ill prepared for this situation.. he did not know what the continuation of that sentence would be...
with a slight giggle, she said " Sir, this is My Calling Card.. feel free to call me if you have any problems..Umm...Sir?"
He could not believe his ears.. "Sorry," he said.. shaking his head trying to wake from the daze.. " she laughed and said " Do you have a card, sir?"
"No.. No i don't.. but.. i'll get your number here and just text you.. how does that sound?" He said in a language that can only be described as half english and half "ummmaa-ummmaaa"...
"Great! I'll be waiting!" She says. As she turns around to go back into the bank, He quickly calls her out.."Amy!" he yells.. she turns around a bit startled.. "Don't call me 'Sir'", he says with a slight laugh.. She turns around again,with an obvious smile on her face leaving him still trying to comprehend what just happened.
"Score one for the smoothie", the voice said..
"Wow", he said with a smile... "Today is a Good Day..."
