Beware the Revenge of the Sith Fries

In a Galaxy Far, Far, Away...

The next and last installment in a long running movie franchise has finally come.

Well... on May 19 anyway. Yes, Its the Third episode of the Star Wars saga.

It's the last part to come out but actually not the last part of the story since its in the middle of the story. The first three to come out were actually Episode IV, V and VI. And that the fourth and fifth movie to come out were Episode I and II and . . . What the hell, never mind!

Already movie pundits are expecting it to be as bad as they found Episode I and II to be and Star Wars FANatics just plain don't care and will rave about it any which way they want to.

Me, i'll watch it probably or I could just wait for the DVD set. I can hardly wait although I'm not exactly a true fan of the series and all

Watch out though for the newest and baddest Sith Lord yet.

He's Big, Mean, Round and Brown.

He's Darth Tater!

On the effects of the Indonesian earthquake...

Would you believe our days are shorter now because of the recent Indonesian earthquake that also caused the devastating tsunamis?

Scientists from NASA have determined that we now have 2.68 microseconds less everyday to do our stuff. As if our days aren't short enough already LoL

The earthquake also caused our dear Earth to become slightly more compact. Now we have even less space to live on Earth. Overpopulation anyone?

Another effect is that the Earth's oblateness (flattening on the top and bulging at the equator) has been affected. So... does this mean that earth is now more svelte and slim? Kind of sounds like Mother Earth is on a diet and fitness regimen : )

I won the lottery last night !!!!

Well, actually it's a lottery with no money involved, but still a lottery nonetheless.

In truth, I was actually the unlucky recipient of a vehicular accident last night. It all happened so fast (which is how all vehicular accidents happen hahaha). I was riding this motorcycle sidecar type public vehicle (which we call tricycles in the philippines, kind of like the tuk-tuk of the Thais but slightly different). And then this whacko in comes speeding from out of nowhere and BANG.

It's all that guy's fault since we have right of way. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt. All I got was a slightly bruised butt (however funny that may sound, it still hurts). Another good thing that happened is that this all happened about 15 feet away from my house so my family was right there to help me : )

And to think that I always thought I was unlucky ^_^

Why I love my books

My most favorite pasttime is reading but not just reading anything of course. My bookshelf mostly consists of fiction of the more obvious genres, that is, fantasy, sci-fi. Why these particular ones is obvious. My life is pretty much boring, which is my own fault entirely. I'm not the type of person who would do something for the sake of doing it. You'd need to poke, prod and push me before I do anything that's overly exciting and seemingly life-threatening. In short, I don't live life on-the-edge. I'm more of the wake-me-up-when-you're-all-done-okay type. Which all boils down to the problem of boring.

What my books give me is an escape from reality. I've been to the bottom of the sea and the center of the earth, Jules Verne took me there last weekend. I have real working time machine, H.G.Wells gave me one a few birthdays ago. I've been to places full of wondrous creatures that will never be heard or seen in this planet. I've seen empires rise and fall in the blink of an eye. I've fought invading hordes singlehandedly and live to tell my story. I've personally seen the goodness of good and the evilness of evil. I've destroyed countless worlds with my death ray for no apparently good reason. All in all, not too shabby for a day's adventure I'd say. And to think that I did all that while sitting down too. ^_^
