Posted in randomness with tags family on May 21, 2008 by NinaWe’re going to see Wanders @ the PAGCOR Grand Theater tomorrow night. Uber excited to see the aerial acrobatics.
I’m willing to bet they wouldn’t allow cameras inside though.
Good thing our IPL class ended today. Final exam is on Tues next week, 6-8p. Dun dun duuun! I MUST finish the digested cases this weekend!
Celebration
Posted in family, food with tags family, food on May 17, 2008 by NinaToday we went out to celebrate my brother’s 18th birthday which really fell on the 14th but heck, my dad couldn’t make it then, he was out of town for work. We ate at Italianni’s Glorietta. We had their Sicilian Chicken Salad for starters plus the free bread basket. Then my brother ordered their Classic Carbonara, my mom their Seafood Cloppino, my dad had the Seafood Risotto, and i ordered the Chicken Masala Risotto. YUUUUUUUUUM! Suffice it to say we stayed there some some time and were full by the time we left. Good eats!
I got to buy 2 shoes i’ve been wanting to get for a week now. One of them was on sale, yey!
BUT when i got home, i learned from my friends Dyosa and Glenn that grades for the 2nd sem were already out. Shiiiiiiit man! I’m fervently hoping i passed all my subjects! *nail bites* What a way to end my day!

Today…
Posted in food, friends, school with tags food, friends, school on May 13, 2008 by Nina…i woke up to my favorite kind of weather: cool, overcast, drizzling.
…Juris asked me to go wall-climbing with her and 2 of our friends. I couldn’t because i had to meet Pam. Plus i had a class later in the afternoon. Plus i can’t climb walls, so to speak, to save my life.
…i met with my good friend Pam. We’ve known each since our sophomore year in high school. She was, in fact, our class President lol. We got to know each other better because we took the same bus service going home. Anyway, we lost contact for a couple of years (which is redonkulous because we live near each other) and it’s only lately that we’ve been in contact again. So we went to this sushi resto at Mall of Asia. She went for the sushi buffet but i didn’t – not a big fan of sushi actually. Although i DID manage to sneak a few pieces from her plate to mine.
I had okonomiyaki (yum!), chicken teriyaki, and yakimeshi. Tabemashou!
…the song 1000 Miles by Vanessa Carlton was playing on the sushi place we ate at, and later on G and i sang it at the bridge. It made me happy for some reason. Probably cause of the movie.
…my classmates asked me to buy them 5 orders of siomai. Which the two of them ate by themselves. We were late for class. Heehee.
…i wasn’t called for recitation! Haha K got called – yan ang napapala ng mga nag-aaral! Weeee!
…before dismissing the class, Atty E told us he wouldn’t be meeting us tomorrow. He has to go out of town, again. Probably has a hearing somewhere. And he dismissed the class 30 mins before the time. Happiness!
…G, Ia, and i went to K’s condo and raided her pantry. We had sisig, corned beef, tuna, and sausages. They had several bottles of Red Horse. Heehee.
Speed Racer
Posted in randomness on May 11, 2008 by NinaNothing new actually, so three stars out of five. The colors used were vibrantly SCREAMING. If it weren’t for the fact my brother and i grew up watching the cartoons (and to support Rain too hehe), i would have waited for it on cable. Predictable storyline, good sfx (though nothing new there) with highly improbable that’s bordering on impossible moves — hey, it’s the Wachowski brothers directing, what can you expect? It’s like watching the Matrix, this time using racing cars. Oh and the villain reminded me of Tim Curry. Haha!
If you grew up watching the series you’ll probably appreciate them using bits and pieces of the cartoons, such as some of the sound fx. And also the ending song of the movie, it incorporated the Japanese version of the song and some of the English i think.

Posted in randomness on May 8, 2008 by NinaI made another blog account. In another site. Someone stop me.
Iron Man
Posted in film on May 8, 2008 by NinaI didn’t grow up reading the comics but i know a thing or two about this comic character. So i went in to see the film without really expecting to see any of my favorites (unlike X-Men or LotR). I just expected to see a cool summer flick. I even had reservations with Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark. But i was really surprised with how the translated the character into the big screen so kudos to Jon Favreau.
It was a pretty good origin film. They followed most of the comicverse so the guys who grew up watching/reading it will be satisfied. I wonder why they didn’t mention his nemesis as Iron Monger though, or did i miss it? And War Machine, oh man, i can’t wait for the sequels. I greatly liked that the movie happens in modern day earth, giving it a bit of realism. Although as of now, the chances of that happening is highly improbable but certainly not impossible. I’m still clamoring for a GUNDAM movie though hehehe. Hey, they did Transformers. And yeah, i’m dying to see G.I. Joe. And X-Men Origins: Wolverine. =)
Btw, wait for the credits to end. Can you say Nick Fury? Good. Now say Avengers Initiative. Good. LOL. And watch out for Stan Lee, nice bit of cameo there.
Yet another space
Posted in randomness on May 8, 2008 by NinaOkay, i gotta admit, this isn’t my only blog journal in cyberspace. I have 2 3 more lying around. So i think what i’m doing is trying out several “spaces” and i will eventually pick 1 (or 2) which i like best. Or maybe i’m just going through a phase. Or maybe i’m just greedy LOL.
Late night with Atty E
Posted in law school on May 3, 2008 by NinaCan you say uber-night class? Our original schedule was Fri 5.30-8.30p and Sat 9a-12nn. But since our prof teaches at another school during Saturdays (something like 8a to 5p), the class agreed to meet on fridays until 10 in the evening. Shoot, it made me miss LC Dots’ thanksgiving dinner/inuman. I called her mobile during our break saying we couldn’t make it.
The good thing was we didn’t have any recitations for that day! I was planning on using our allowed absent, I was agonizing the whole day because i wasn’t prepared. I mean, i read the assignment but it wasn’t good enough for a good recitation. Good thing i listened to my friends and decided to attend class instead. Sayang rin yung lecture. And as soon as i went to our room i started feeling queasy. I knew i shouldn’t have eaten the McNuggets but if i didn’t, i know i’d be dead with hunger by the time our class ended.
When Atty E came to class my seatmates and I were ready to throw up. Anyway, after attendance our professor announced that we wouldn’t be having recitations to give way to the group who will be reporting. To say we were happy was an understatement! The pterodactyls in my stomach were gone! But he’ll be including the topic in our final exam, which is fine with me. Ia said something that made me laugh pa nga, she said “Ang lakas ng dasal mo ah” or something to that effect. I guess all our prayers were heard that day. “Walang lalakas pa sa dasal ng law student na hindi aral” hehe (but that’s not really true of course)! God is REALLY good, because He knows a lot of us were bent on enjoying our summer, ergo we don’t study as well as we do during the normal academic year.
weather
Posted in randomness on May 1, 2008 by NinaIt’s CRAZY! I know i’ve been grouching about how hot it’s been. Don’t get me wrong, i’d rather it rain than experience heat wave but still. I think i like my summer to be sunny. It wouldn’t be summer if it’s raining, now would it?
Fshn shw
Posted in randomness on April 26, 2008 by NinaGo. Watch. RAMP Fashion SHow. Grand Atrium. Level 2. Shangri-la Plaza. 7pm. Today. My friend Cho will be there.
Prof’s conference
Posted in randomness on April 25, 2008 by NinaDaaaaaym! Our professor didn’t meet with us today nga. Masaya pa rin naman ako PERO! hindi ganun kasaya kasi:
1) Alam naman na ng office na wala ang mga professor starting today til Sunday kasi may conference churva sila sa Subic, wala man lang official announcement na walang classes.
2) At dahil dun, nag-aksaya pa ako ng load katetext ng mga tao, nangungulit kung may pasok ba talaga or wala (pasensya na lang po kina: Ia, Glenn, Dyosa, at Juris).
3) Isa pa, sayang sa gasolina!! Taga Paranaque pa po ako. Konting konsiderasyon lang naman sana. Buti na lang hindi ako galing ng Cavite tulad ni Ms. T.
4) Sayang sa pera. Napakain pa ako ng di oras sa KFC.
5) I was set on meeting with some of my friends to watch a movie, but nooooo, they already made plans cause i said i wouldn’t be able to make it.
There was only ONE good thing that happened today and that was it rained. After several days of hot, humid, sticky weather, I welcomed the rain with open arms.
