Amidst the hectic schedule, I managed to drop by the Tahanan Books Office. Tahanan Books is my first official working gig. I haven't stepped into their office since the Dog Trilogy came out (my last stuff for them), and their office was still in San Antonio village back then. Their new cityland office along Esteban / Herrera is a cozy and wonderful place to hang out. Beautiful interior design - I was thinking of incorporating some stuff like the tilted shelf and large paintings to my future house. Hay, I felt like a 16 year old kid again. Sayang wala si Reni. After I left, a lot of stuff came flooding to my thoughts - I'll explain next http://reinardsantos.multiply.com/photos/album/32/Coming_Home_Again Wed, 6 Aug 2008 06:04:37 -0000 Everyone is saying that this film is brilliant, exceptional, not-you-average superhero flick. Heath Ledger as the Joker is the ultimate villain. I have high hopes entering the cinema. Does it deliver? The GOOOOD. <b>• Heath Ledger as Joker simply brights up any scene.</b> He upstages the whole cast, even Batman. The word of mouth is: "you gotta see Dark Knight, Heath Ledger's Joker is the ultimate villain, Oscar deserving - yadda - yadda - yadda." Ask a hundred people who's seen the Dark Knight, chances are only 35% will say that the film is great overall, 65% will say - you gotta see Joker. That's how good Heath is. <b>• It's not a super hero film.</b> This is not Batman Adventures. Don't take your 6 or 7 year old kid in the cinema, because he/she won't understand a thing. It's a crime drama pretending to be a super hero film. Think Infernal Affairs but with Tony Leung and Andy Lau wearing costumes. What's that - you don't know Infernal Affairs? But you know the Departed, the one with Damo... http://reinardsantos.multiply.com/reviews/item/1 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 04:20:10 -0000 <a href="http://reinardsantos.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SIcI@AoKCmUAAH8XC@c1"></a>When I was a kid, I couldn't complete even one side of the Rubik's cube.

Philippine's biggest event for geeks, hobbyists, toy hoarders, nerds, cosplayers, and beautiful geeky babes has come to Megamall again. This Toycon is bigger, badder, and more organized than last year. But I have to admit - I like the costumes more last year. Bumped with some college buddies (Choy and Chris), Harries (Kitty, Jay), and Ex-Harries (Reg, Arjun). Fun-Fun-Fun! I started the day with Kitty and Choy, then went home alone, kasi mahirap akong kasama lalo na pag nagto-toyhunt http://reinardsantos.multiply.com/photos/album/30/Geeks_Of_The_World_Unite_ToyCon_2008 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 07:03:23 -0000 It's out!

Demmit that sounds so geeky. Pero, oo, patay na patay ako sa Marvel Character na si Iron Man... and this event, I can't miss! The event was held in Toy Kingdom Megamall. Opening pa lang (10 am), sangkatutak na collectors na ang nakaabang sa pagbukas ng "iron" doors of Toy Kingdom. It was a riot to get the HTF (Hard-To-Find) figures. When I got there (which is around 10:30am) tatlong variation na lang ng Iron Man movie figures ang natira. And no sets are being sold. Set pa naman ang kukunin ko. When you buy a figure kasi you get a free iron man movie ticket for every P1000 receipt. And a free poster for every P500. Plus you get a chance to join the nifty contests and raffle where you can win Iron Man toys! Yehey! Fun! Fun! Fun! Eh kaso, matagal ilabas yung sets.

I only started to appreciate this simple statement after McCann and Harrison lost the BPI account to DYR. We were doing these ads saying "stop wishing" or "stop exploring all options" or "stop waiting for the perfect time" and most of us wouldn't pursue what we really want. Most of us actually want to fulfill our desires but we don't have enough guts to do it. Or we would be pessimistic... always looking at the negative side. Let's Begin happens quickly. Without thought. From zero to one hundred. My wife was cleaning outside the apartment when she saw one of our neighbors who managed to get her own house. A little chat. The name of a good broker given. A phone number. Me, calling my folks to come with us. Next thing I know, we were standing at some model units, looking for the perfect place. And we found the perfect house. 3 bedrooms. 2 toilets. Some room for expansion. And of course my parents giving the thumbs up.

Well, this one has a creepy kid... but not naked. Anything with Guillermo Del Toro's name attached to it is good. This wasn't directed by GDT... but it's freakin brilliant.

The convention is jam packed with nerds, geeks and cosplayed beauties. Mainit bago ka makapasok ng convention grounds kasi dun nakatambay yung Cosplayers.

I don't have any care in the world for die-cast cars. Just my son who really enjoys racing his hotwheels on those tracks. Almost every week, I buy him a TRACK STAR (yung Hotwheels na puwede pang-race). I also saw some cool looking Hotwheels and bought some for myself (pucha P100 lang naman isa). Fastforward months later... I'm officially hooked. I collect NASCAR Stock Cars and Hotwheels Racing Team Cars. Sobrang ganda ng details! Love those sticker thingies and how you can still read the logos even at a miniscule 1 point font size. Heck, I buy more cars for myself than my son (yes, nakakalungkot). I bought those P279 display cases at Landmark Makati and hung them on my wall... my wife loves it... my dad wants one (for his shot glass collection) - and I'm about to buy another one! Saya!

The obstacles: • alcoholic breath • sweaty body • "sino ka para magpakuha ako ng picture sa iyo?" factor • hindi ko kamukha si Aga Mulach • curfew imposed by Lolo El and Manong Norman :) Can Rei complete the challenge? Help me "I.D." some girls along the way! Click the individual pics for comments and ratings (haha, who am I to judge their beauty anyway!?) Obviously I failed the challenge.

My wife Lorie, proved once again, na malayo ang nararating ng mga malakas ang loob. Last September 8, we celebrated Grandparent's day at Robinson's Galeria. May HotWheels event, siyempre yung anak ko gustong mag-race dun sa mahabang race track na inassemble nila. In order to participate in the activities, you have to purchase P200 worth of HotWheels item. So bumili ang wifey ko ng dalawang kotse. Unfortunately, Rohan (anak ko) can't join because he's only 4 years old and only kids 6 years and above can join. Sayang naman. Pero sabi nung mga organizers na puwedeng sumali si mommy sa seniors division. And so it came to pass, sumali si wifey sa seniors division. The object of the race is to survive the multi-looped track and get the fastest time. Fortunately that day, only 3 seniors joined and they need 5 contestants for that leg of the race.
