"Why a doghouse of all dwellings?" would you ask? Its actually chalked up to my love for Snoopy and watching too many Eek The Cat cartoons that has Sharky The Sharkdog's doghouse having striking similiarities to Snoopy's own domicile.

13 days overdue to post anniversary maintenance post on this blog. Most of my attention is on time sink called Facebook. Recent Friday the 13th also got my attention to be diverted. Anyways housekeeping post done and done.

Just performing a routine and seemingly annual post to see my blog is still around but not filled much of late due to the banal concerns of living in this reality and the slow and gradual death to my inspiration and creativity due to said banality. Anyways, happy anniversary to my blog and I hope its slow death will not be hastened otherwise.

Just noticed the date and referenced my blog archive to see that today is the 6th year for my blog. :) I'll do what I can for this year to add more entries as I juggle around the concerns of work, post-work fatigue, and especially Facebook in the mix.

Just managed to havre enough mettle to post this entry to herald 2010. I got pretty much sucked away by the latest social network site phenomenon called Facebook. Work pretty much sapped away my creativity and energy. I'm pretty much Ipod-less for like more than 3 months now or so and still saving some money aside to get an Ipod Touch to replace my now no longer sync-capable. :( I hope the new

Decided to take a shot at this meme I read from a blog entry of a friend of mine. I did some digging around in my Mp3 library and some personal recall of songs and/or soundtrack pieces to use appropriately in my opinion for the various highlights entailed for it. Enjoy. :) Opening Credits : Mad World - Tears for FearsAverage Day : One and One - Robert MilesGood Day : Girl in Byakkoya - Susumu

Been looking forward to watching a particular movie after hearing of it and going through a rather above average weekly grind. That movie is "Watchmen". Based on the graphic novel "Watchmen" of the same name in 1986-1987. There would be a few liberties and discrepancies on the treatment of the story to set it on modern day standards in some manner in spite the 60's roots which the original

All this talk of money being the root of all evil and other absolutes to this reality pretty much pisses me off in frustration given how this world currently works in the so-called Economy 1.0 mode. Maybe a few more years or a generation more we would be living under a different economic model without it being pronounced as communist. The currently economy model is driven by resource scarcity.

which is what I think goes whenever one has a birthday that happens. Mine's just happen to coincide with the American holiday of Thanksgiving for this year. It was a rather quiet affair since Thanksgiving would take most of the spotlight plus my sis is not much into making any preparations and inviting guests, which are fewer in number now plus she can't do more strenuous stuff giving her current

Been pretty much away from this homestead of a blog since I was rather tied with work and some events that transpired in my life, which left me..rather changed but slowly jaded yet again. All in all, its another experience to chalk to as a lesson in life once more. I was rather preoccupied of late getting into another e-social network site brought about by workmates. First it was Friendster.com

Just completed reading Charles Stross' Halting State. Its described to be a thriller set in a world of MMORPGS, personal network computing, and meta organizations. Its a book which requires some background with MMORPGS, IT tech and Espionage to appreciate the content of this book and its story. This kind of mix kinda harkens me to this Millenium Bug inspired thriller Wyrm by Mark Fabi. (Cover

Just watched this Saturday afternoon, the sequel to the recent reboot of the Batman movie franchise, Batman Begins, titled Dark Knight and I was pretty much amazed and blown away by the story and visuals for this one. Batman/Bruce Wayne is reprised by Christian Bale, Alfred by Michael Caine, Lucius Fox by Morgan Freeman, Lt./Commisioner James "Jim" Gordon by Gary Oldman and Scarecrow by Cillian

...which one you never thought of after reading it. Its the Adventures of Johnny Bunko which has its own website located here. I picked it up in a bookstore about 2-3 weeks ago. It caught me eye on account of it being in manga format, which is an unconventional approach to the use dry and tried text in most career advice/counselling books. It basically distills the realities of the job flow and

Just watched "Wanted" this recent Saturday. It was quite a thrill ride to watch. It was a film adaptation of Mark Millar's "Wanted" limited series, though with a water down treatment done to it to make it servicable as a film. It still got the revenge porn elements in it which was integral in the comics. Kazakhstan-born director Timur Bekmambetov, of Night Watch and Day Watch fame, puts his own

Just dropping in to leave word about my notice of being unable to post any new stuff for the meantime. Work has really gotten into my creative processes due to the banality of it. Schedule's been shifting a bit to give a regular window of time to get something creative once the other concerns are gone.

Had to wait a week later after the announced release date of my favorite hi-tech hero movie "IRON MAN" due to work schedule concerns, but it was worth it in spades!!!!! I was pretty stoked about this movie from the getgo since I heard of it and then when I was saw the trailer leaked from last year's Comic Con in San Diego which was covered by G4 TV. After watching the movie, I can say that the

My recent weekend was pretty fun. Saturday was covered with an attendance to the recent Kawaii-Kon '08 with my niece in tow since we both have an interest with matters anime. Waking up early, buying spam musubi for breakfast on the go, overshooting the planned stop in front of the convention center rewards us enough to get there early to do a walk-in registration to have access of the events and

Just recently bought this book two weeks ago. A brief browse through got my attention since I have become a distanced fan of the Terran Trade Authority books which I have mentioned in an earlier post listed here. I find it to be an oldie yet goodie to revisit my earlier gaming and idea-making roots based on those books in spite its apparent datedness by current standards for younger generations.

This is a question to arise soon as newer technologies come to the fore when the demand for something just exceeds the capacity of current technology to deliver. In this case, data.

I'm very excited with the latest installment of the shared superhero world of Wild Cards editted by George R.R. Martin. Its a so-called "mosaic novel" which started from 1987 until the present with the latest offering, "Inside Straight"."Inside Straight" deals with a new generation of Wild Cards, people gifted with abilities from the alien Takisian Wild Card virus in 1946 which spawned the 1st

After checking my friend Carl's blog, I just realized I forgot to commemorate the 4th year of my blog. I am rather surprised that I've been able to plug away enough posts to keep this one alive. Other personal blogs would just be at the floundering stage to comatose after a couple of posts. It's a good run so far for 4 years to cover a range of topics from movies, books to matters personal.

This blog entry title is just a major mashup of three movies and a novel which started it. I watched a movie which is technically the third version of a film adaptation of a novel. The novel in question is "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson. The earlier movie incarnations of this movie before the latest Will Smith starrer is "The Last Man on Earth" starring Vincent Price in 1964 made by the

Got me around to reading the very novel which was behind this 1982 film. The movie is Blade Runner but it goes by its original name as a novel called "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick. Philip K. Dick has a number of stories made into movies like Total Recall, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly and Next to mention. Managed to obtain the book after seeing the cover (See above

Just ushering in a brand New Year to all! This is usually heralded by the using late night parties to countdown, the food, drink and festive eye candy of fireworks in the sky. Though it brings memories of the usual cleanup aftermath done the late morning after with spent firework wrappers, casings plus the remnants of burnt firework residue which would have been thick the night before.Anyways,

Like its namesake, the latest Satoshi Kon directed anime, Paprika, who also directed Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers and TV series Paranoia Agent, happens to have quite a spice to the realm of imagination. The anime was an adaption of a story by Yasitaka Tsutsui which makes uses of his expertise with psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis and dreams are very much the focus in this anime

Almost like a movie title of 1/4 that of 28 Days Later. It was a crazy rush of feelings and lessons I have to deal with a week after my 37th birthday.

Its been 5 months or so since I moved here in Hawaii, though I can say that I'm still alive though barely. The job prospects are pretty slim for me to look for but I have to cast aside my fickleness with the job applications.

Here's the trailer for the Iron Man movie slated for May 2008 release. The clampdown on the trailer leakage from Comic-Con 07 is no longer a concern for those who wanted to see this trailer. Here's the legit trailer for the public to see and wait in awe. :)

I hope this one doesn't disappear the next morning like the one I found on Youtube. But hope you see this. The leaked trailer for the upcoming Iron Man movie. Enjoy.Replay video | Share video | Watch more videos

Did a quick dig-around for the trailer that was screened for Comic-Con 07 attendees. The quality of this video clip taken isn't exactly that good but most of the best bits are pretty amazing and the reactions of the audience is very favorable. Enjoy!Hmmmm...Looks like Paramount really acted quickly to have the teaser trailer removed off Youtube. Very quick intervention on their part. I'll have to

I've been monitoring a meagerly possible regarding this comic character to be brought to the silver screen. Its the high-tech hero, Iron Man! G4TV was able to get some coverage about Comic-Con 07 in San Diego which covers a number of comic related news in terms of projects and especially movies, Iron Man included. The movie is to be a mix of CG and good ol fashioned FX that would bring the

This post is not a health article post of sorts. This is more in line with my long time admiration of the comic character Iron Man. Went to the recently renovated Advanced Iron fan site and subsequently lead me to its forum board.I had a blast reading through some its forum threads and posted some replies on it. But the unexpected find in it was this webpage done by comic book artist Bob Layton,

This was a long overdue request from my friend Vince when I showed him the hardcopies of posters I downloaded from this thread. Viewing through the thread is an image intensive one at that. All I can say about that thread that its addicting to pore over especially when you see some interesting picks or quotes used to make them. It's a very simply thing to churn out when you have the time, images

Its been 20 weeks since I left the Philippines and staying here at my sister's place. Job hunt progress is still at "searching". I mostly pass the time in my sis house with limited access to the internet due to its draconian parental control software which was initially intended for my niece when she was supposed to visit and whatever cable tv has to offer.I scoped out a few malls/shopping

Just decided to put up a parking notice for this blog since the coming weeks would be a matter of preparations and purchase. The last time I changed my scenery was in 2001. It was when I went to the US, where I stayed in Portland, Oregon and then subsequently to Seattle, Washington. This year, I would be leaving this country to be staying with my sister in Hawaii. Yep, off for another shot to try

Had to make this post to note this posterity and such. I had to make this entry outside my home on account of recent events which I will detail.An earthquake hit Taiwan Dec 26. To the unaware users of the internet here in the Philippines, the effect wasn't feel until recently. The slowdown and occasional halt of data flow on the network was felt.

As indicated in the title, just recently 36 this recent Monday. My birthday was celebrated in not the usual quiet style that I'm accustomed to. I decided to have done with some friends invited over to my place for some food, softdrink and conversation plus whatever show and tell items my room has to offer besides the internet on this computer.

Just visited my blog earlier to see if anything needs to be done. I was expecting another round of junk post to my blog's tagboard and then I noticed that it was displaying...something else. The visit to my blog was prompted when I checked a friend's blog for any new posts and noticed his tagboard exhibited the symptom.

The idea mixer going off in my head after doing some research surfing since sometimes a thought would niggle around in my head until it needs to get out.

Puttered around the web and discovered the idea or concept of a Mary Sue character. The history and etymology of this character archetype/label is located here.Simply put, its one of the occasional or all-too-guilty foible of aspiring or moonlighting writers. I'm guilty to admit in that category after trying to gauge a character I used in a friend's superhero RPG in college. I found out that

Weeks before that, my sister contacted me with regards to her some business she's attending to in Washington State, hence the sidemission of locating any stuff of mine at my cousin's mother-in-law's (future brevity: Tita A.) place in Seattle area. I had to draft up the list of books I left there which I tried to recall in memory. My sis got there and she

Watched the usual run of comedy movie trailers, the occasion modern suspense or horror movie trailer and the piece de resistance, the latest Superman Returns movie trailer.

Just watched two films 3 days ago. The first one was "The Wild" which I decided to watch with my folks and my niece. It was okay family fare which one would almost think "Madagascar with family dynamic hybridized with Riverdance and The Gods Must Be Crazy" if one were to condense it. I was planning for a different viewing but since I was with the family earlier and going with them for groceries,

It was just a matter of time or something to tick this dog off and I found it.This blog I encountered was brought to my attention through one of my many emails from my former coworker at the call center I left last June.

Those were the words spoken for the opening credits of early 90's show, seaQuest DSV.

The day is almost over. A memorable day. I've celebrated my 35th birthday for this year. It was a no-fanfare kinda of day, which I am pretty much accustomed too. Lunch here at the Ambrosio house was fine with New York style pizza from Brooklyn Pizza. The remains of it survived for dinner and then no more. Besides pizza, diet soda and my craving for coffee (or is it toffee) crunch cake from Red

Another month has passed and this current month is now more than half-way done. Not much blog update activity of late. The usual culprits are my niece and her usual internet activities of Yahoo Messenger, forum board browsing, media clip downloads and tons of pictures she downloads. I am much worried that she would bloat the hard disk in no time, unless the downloaded stuff is burned into CD,

Just checked the date on my last entry and realized I skiped September without an entry or two to put in there. :( I do have a long overdue musical meme entry that month since I read it from someone else's blog. It was delayed on account of the formatting called for as well as the appropriate comments to connect to each of the song entries which are familiar to me. This is a hundred songs were

I've been in the process of putting together some "expansion" blogs to cover other concerns I have in mind for it to be placed as appropriate. I also assisted in some measure with a friend's blog recently. I added a new neighbor to my blog. He's a good high school friend of mine. I've already set up two of these so-called expansion blogs elsewhere and another will be up soon. I just need the

Online activity was pretty much at a bare minimum like running a spacecraft with minimum power to operate life support and nothing more. It was a hectic few weeks since I have to monitor communications directed to my email address for my mom as well as relaying inquiries and info through Instant Messenger programs with my sis and bro. Along with that, I have to contend wit h my niece who uses the

Just added a new neighbor to my Neighbors link which you see at the left side of the page and underneath the Tagboard area. She's a former trainer of mine back in my recent call center which I just left. Her name is Kitch Pascual. I added the link since she mentioned it when I recently touched base with her last July 11, which happens to be the last day for the Neil Gaiman book signings. Kitch or

Not so catchy title for this post as to what I'll elaborate next, huh? I just find it what just in light of what happened yesterday.Yesterday, I woke up at around 5am after coordinating plans with my brother the night before.

Just had a good evening of clean fun yesterday. Met up with a high school batchmate and friend Ronnie at Festival Mall at his invitation for dinner and fun which he's treating for those who made it for this little gathering. The ones who heeded the call were me, Rem, Reuel, Rico. Ronnie brought his brother Jon with him along for the festivities.We linked up in good time and got to the dinner

Not much stuff turned out this days. I would technically be called a couch potato but since I do most of my reading and TV viewing from my bed, hence bed potato.With economic units close to nil in a few days, I would have to mosey back to the office in Makati to do the final paperwork and signature chasing to properly close this chapter with my former employer.After recovering some economic units

Just got to watch "Batman Begins" yesterday afternoon and I was pretty much satisfied how this treatment is done with this movie franchise. After the impressive Batman and Batman Returns and the downhill camp of Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, this installment has very much redeemed it from the Schumacher driven wrecks which were the campy movies.Batman Begins picks itself back by

Unexpected delays since the expected freetime I'm supposed to have at my leisure is pretty much interrupted since my niece has her schooling start by this coming Monday and this week's Monday.Looks like the increasing costs for education is what cutting the number of students per section in school, therefore a delay due to restructuring in this case with my niece. So my niece has an extra week to

As of June 3, I'm no longer a harassed call center drone at a call center. No more being shackled by a timer. No more 1/2 hour lunches as of the past 3 weeks. Sense of creativity and expression coming back. No more stress as to concerns of people halfway across the world. No more threats directed to my person over the phone. I'm pretty much free from all those things and more.I have left the call

Just woke up from my usual post-work sleep cycle that goes with a call center job. I noticed a text message from my brother. It goes like this: "cody john ladia ambrosio was born @ 8:46am may 26, weighs 5.92 lbs at 18.5 inches"My brain, fogged from waking up, takes a bit to register and then hits me. The Ambrosio clan and my brother's family get an additional member. The peripheral import goes to

Last Sunday, I went to pick up my copy of Livewires #4, though my brother's Lions, Tigers and Bears #4 is out of copies. Asked shop owner and friend Vinnie to get a copy for my bro. After the matter of comic pickup settled. Me and Vinnie had a talk about creative matters. I started off using the topic of blog entries and updates as a starter item before graduating to the main concern. As to the

Watched Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith with my parents and niece last Thursday. Read and heard from other people and blogs that it was toss of being bad and good, depending on the person watching it. But as a general trend to say of the 1st 3 episodes compared to episodes 4 to 6, style and substance have definitely overshadowed content or the lack of thereof. It was of note that the

Just realized that I got my schedule changed without my knowledge. My previously selected schedule of 10am to 7pm is now moved over to 8pm to 5am. Same restdays still retained. The clincher on that is that the lunch hour is reduced to 30 minutes. That with the mandatory overtime into the equation got me ticked off that my time of escape from the humdrum of work is reduced and having to go the

Decided to add an observation since I noticed this in chat rooms and moreso having negative emotional stuff absorbed from my call center job.People nowadays can be nasty or intolerant in some cases. People are so loaded with expectation and pre-conceived idea of things. People can also be self-absorbed, self-centered individuals.Damnit. Just because other people don't conform to their ideas,

Got some time on my hands to look into the template coding to check out my previous comment provider. And to my disappointment, the comment provider went out of service due to lack of financial support to continue operations. Its always a material/economic unit dependency to maintain existence of something. One facet of this reality can be said in lieu with a individual human existence.Immediate

I have already turned in my resignation to my supervisor at the call center job I'm in. I'll be out of the pressure cooker by June 3. That would be like 4 weeks to go or so. It was brought about from a long discussion between myself and my supervisor. Another contributing factor is my recent patch-up with friendship with a high-school friend of mine for creative endeavors. That and being in the

Last Saturday was a virtual holiday for my friend Vinnie since it was Free Comic Book Day that time. It wasn't totally as he described given the cost it went to having it sent here to the Philippines and the attending fees and duties payed to Customs plus all that jazz. Recently discovered this virtual holiday around last year during one of my usual Saturday visit to his shop.The ritual on this

Blog updates have hit some snags in terms of time element and opportunity. Time on account of work and the major downtime after work in the form of sleep and the usual banal routines. As to opportunity, my niece is the one I have to go around since she uses the P3 (Which I tentatively named "Lady Vectra" since Late February on account of "her" restored status.

The Midnighter was a secret product of the labs of Henry Bendix, part of his Stormwatch "Academy" program, the members of whom were duped into becoming Bendix's personal Stormwatch team.

After what I thought was smooth computer sailing after having the P3's hard disk replaced and OS restored, things would be fine. Until the previously unmentioned malady has flared up again, the monitor's been blinking.

Just got the Pentium 3 looked over at a repair shop. It was suppose to involve a reformat and reinstall of OS but later in the day, call from tech says that the hard disk is trashed. New hard disk to replace the old one, 10 gigabytes more than the old one.Pretty much happy that the P3 is back online and now I can reinstall my backup files and resume some entertainment and creative opportunities
