Saw this movie today with wife and the boys… The movie is good! Full of excitement from start to end! Nakakasara ng pwet! 9 of 10! Recommended! Plus, it stars John Cussack, that cool dude from Serendipity, Stephen King‘s 1408 and others.. woah! 2012 and 1408.. nice two four-digit movie title! :)

2012 is a 2009 science fiction disaster film based loosely on the 2012 phenomenon and directed by Roland Emmerich. The film has an ensemble cast, including John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Woody Harrelson. The film was distributed by Columbia Pictures. Filming began in August 2008 in Vancouver. The film is set in a modern setting and only brushes on Mayanism and the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar.

The effects are awesome! If you’ve ever visited Googel Earth or saw any gps application, you’ll see earth in sky view and imagine it falling in the abyss of the earth’s crust! WOw!

Emmo Gas Consumption Computation

jacaranda — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 00:53:57 +0000

I told you about the strawberry fields… nah, just kidding.. :)

I told you about our Baguio City Adventure last December 28 to 30 right? That I’m going to be posting details here soon and photos too? Well, yeah, I did mention that and yeah I will post more details about it… but not today. :)

Just want to note here the gas consumption of Emmo by kilometers per liter… how? By dividing total number of kilometers by the liters of gas we put it… Good thing I filled her up to the rim.

Here’s the details..

Before we went up to the summer capital of the philippines, I already used up 191.1 km (from a previous full tank of gas)

I paid up Php 805 for 24.30 liters… That’s not bad at all, with that savings I can buy myself pet supplements for the dogs. )

First up, it costs me 805Php/24.30li, or Php 33.12 per liters

So, here’s the computation result… Emmo is using up 191.1km/24.30li, or 7.8Km/liters! (weird.. last time I checked it’s 11km/liters.. hmm.. anyway, that’s the main objective anyway.. to monitor the usage)

Baguio Adventure

Just got back from our family’s little Christmas vacation slash Baguio adventure.

We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights and it was great! Cold, shivering and cold (did I mentioned it already) but it was ok! There’s only one thing I regret from those 3 days… and specially the 2 nights… What was it? heated blanket! I was cold during the nights! :)

Anyway, this is NOT the official Baguio adventure post.. but just an intro.. this is however a plug post for my proxy sites.. I surely hope you can visit them! Facebook, Friendster, Frienster, Myspace and Youtube!

Happy new year message time! Happy New Year to all!
