Are You Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter?

You Are Facebook
You are social, outgoing, and excited to connect to your friends.
You are interested in your friends’ lives, and you enjoy adding your opinion to the mix.

While you enjoy sharing online, you don’t want everyone to know your business.
You value your privacy. Your life is an open book to those you know but not to strangers.

Personally, I prefer Twitter over Facebook. I’ve just recently signed up for FB but I’ve been twitting for two years.

10 Underrated Movies

Posted in entertainment, what's up on April 20th, 2009 by admin – 6 Comments

I’m not really sure if they are underrated but I just really love them. Most of them are psychological thrillers.

Identity – starring John Cusack. I watched the DVD without knowing what it was about so I was shocked when I learned about the twist. Love love love it!!!

The Talented Mr. Ripley – great story line! Jude Law is hot and Matt Damon was just amazing here.

In late 1950’s New York, Tom Ripley, a young underachiever, is sent to Europe to retrieve a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy, named Dickie Greenleaf. But when the errand fails, Ripley kills the playboy and begins to assume his life.

Meet Joe Black – okay so Brad Pitt was so gorgeous here but I loved Anthony Hopkins’ character better.

A media mogul acts as a guide to Death, who takes the form of a young man to learn about life on Earth and in the process, fall in love with his guide’s daughter.

Vanilla Sky – Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz. A lot of people hated this movie. It’s intense and I would love to watch it over and over again.

A successful publisher finds his life taking a turn for the surreal after a car accident with a jaded lover.

The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind – Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. Anything that bends reality is always my favorite. read more »

Describe to me your favorite lounging clothes.
Cotton walking shorts and very loose tank top if it’s warm then sweatshirt and Pjs with socks when it’s cold.

If you promised to never lie again in your lifetime, in what area would it be hardest to uphold the promise?
To my parents I guess. To my boss, some friends and real estate agents. You just can’t help it especially if you don’t want to hurt someone else’s feelings.

Give a one word answer to the question "why is life worth living".

Simply dial the numbers 101-811 using your PLDT landline and you can have access to ALMOST all questions that’s bugging you.

Drawing on Screen with Cintic

Have you seen this amazing piece of technology? The Wacom Cintic Tablet has been on my list of things to buy but know that I will never afford it.

The Cintiq 12WX has everything that I’m looking for a pen tablet – light weight, wireless, direct pen-on-screen input, stand-alone monitor (can also be used for multi-monitor environments). The best feature I think is the precise inking resulting to “natural art like” graphics. It can be tilted up to 60 degress and offers brush and eraser strokes. According to the article from Photoshop Support, the cost is $999, which is actually the more affordable version. I’m really serious in getting one, if only I can decide what to get first – iMac or this. There are so much stuff that I can do with it. It can act as a drawing pad so I can draw as many artworks as I like, design t-shirts and even trace any printed illustrations using the overlay function.
