La Vie En Rose

Sharing with you a really cool video of a classic French love song La Vie En Rose, as brilliantly performed by Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte of Pomplamoose. The song, which translates to "life in rosy hues", was written in 1946 by Louis Gugliemi (music) and Edith Piaf (lyrics), the very singer who made it famous.

White Out

Buy the book, skip the movie. Unless you're a Kate Beckinsale devotee then watch it for the sole purpose of seeing her in action.

...better yet, spend your hard earned $$ on a nice dinner date, or an original copy of Underworld instead. ;-)

Kimmy Dora

I saw Kimmy Dora with a friend of mine yesterday and I must say that I didn't think it was possible for the shallowest of plots to actually spawn a very funny and entertaining film. Kudos to Eugene Domingo for raising the bar in comedic acting. She did a great job playing twins Kimmy and Dora (her performing prowess made the existence of the identical sisters with two distinct characters delightfully believable).

Her big name guests were just as entertaining, though all obviously took "support role" positions and still ultimately paled in comparison to Eugene when her brand of comedy came to play. It was also apparent (throughout the film) how much fun the whole production team had while shooting the movie. It generated genuine laughter from us in the audience that it quickly ceased to matter that the story was too shallow or clichéd, even.

Domingo, along with the rest of the cast (e.g., Henry Sy, Jaime Zobel de Ayala, Manny Pangilinan... hehehe) successfully ushered the film to a comical conclusion. Kimmy Dora was fun to watch, easy on the eyes and easier still to laugh at (not meant as an insult!)

Watch it with or without buttered popcorn, when not in an intellectual mood, and when running dangerously low on stuff to laugh (or smile) about.

District 9

Initially I thought the film was going to be another "Aliens" installation, where non-human life forms set off to carry out the annihilation of poor earth's inhabitants. I was expecting the typical end-all war against the self-destructive mankind (read: The day the earth stood still). But it was a surprisingly different approach to alien existence in relation to life on this planet.

More importantly, there were no mega-heroic Hollywood eye candies (e.g., Will Smith, Keanu Reeves, John Travolta, Johnny Depp...) to distract from the main focuses of the film: the evident earth inhabitant entitlement called segregation (a.k.a. discrimination) and how it knows no boundaries, subtle shades of South Africa and its history, the apartheid...

Director Neill Blomkamp and his team did an intelligent job piecing this film together -- from casting to storytelling to treatment -- invoking a daringly different and seamless art form. It was raw but brilliant. An unexpected yet welcome experience, all creative aspects considered...and enjoyed.

A tub of buttered popcorn was the icing on this already delicious and freshly baked cake. That should be more than enough good reasons to see it and zero reasons to complain. Right? ;-)

Your Photos on Postcards!

I'm plenty interested in this next bit: transforming any of my very own photos into postcards (or greeting cards, even) in time for spreading the season's holiday greetings! I've been dabbling in photography for a short while now and I got excited with the idea of sending out cards featuring some favorite pictures to family and friends. (sample image for a post card below):

While it's true that there are a lot of local traditional printers near my area, most of them will charge an arm and a leg to produce custom greeting and postcards for small-project clients as myself. So I decided to add "umph" to my personal supplier listing by looking for cost efficient yet professional printers who can partner with me throughout various creative processes.

If you search online for top quality, yet low cost (alternative to traditional) printing services, you'll find PS Print Printing -- a leading printing company that does business cards, stickers, custom postcards, greeting cards, posters and more. It's quite simple to set up a customized greeting/postcard at this site. It's as easy as selecting your product of choice, reviewing your order, uploading your files, previewing and approving the final study.

I've been recommending it to friends who plan on having wedding announcements, Christmas cards, and other event invites printed out (note that this is a great, cost-effective marketing solution as well) because this printing service's pricing, compared to most traditional printers, aren't as high, plus they have strict standards when it comes to quality control. They also boast of on-time delivery, expert mailing services and customized mailing lists, covering print, design, and mailing needs faster than your average printer. Visit the site now and find price cuts on some of their products being offered -- Post card printing is currently on sale!

That's unmatched online convenience for us hobbyists. It's an awesome way to turn holiday photos, travel shots, family and pet portraits, and nature shots to cool post cards or greeting cards.

To check out the quality of their products, order PS Print's free sample kit. It contains a variety of printed samples, a paper sample guide, and other helpful information you'll need to get started.

Expect a PS Print invite from me to Facaderato's first ever photography exhibit... coming soon! (when I have the budget, that is. heheh) ;-)

Super Moist Chocolate Cake

Guilty. This back slider's hooked on the real moist chocolate cakes of Hungry Pac...But I try my best to keep the cravings to just once every couple of months. (yeah, right.)

This sinful treat is purchasable at 3 packs for P120...
...one of my favorite chocolate fixes. No, I don't urge anyone to follow suit. Stick to whole wheat and say no to too much sugar.

You know what's good for you. ;-)
