Rush on Seven Darn Episodes

The Transporter 2 ranked 3rd in US box office today. But that was not the reason why I spent an arm and a leg to watch it last night. I have forgotten that the Transporter 1 was one of the few movies I really liked back in 2002. In fact, Frank Martin’s house in France then, which was mercilessly levelled-up by a bazooka, was some house I vowed I’d make should I rake nuf money in the future.

Anyway I wouldn’t spill any bit of this latest movie’s story. Go figure yourself coz there’s a bunch of spoilers in the internet or better, just watch it. Those who were able to watch these films may agree with me that they’re guys’ flick. Now, am not really doin any stereotyping round here, only that it has all the ingredients of a real adrenaline-pumped up ride most most men would like in a movie - a single dude who lives by his own rules, nice French crag of a house by the bay, milk in the morning, savvy "transporter" job, sleek car, gadgets, chick (there is 1 hot Chinese momma in part 1 and 2 hotties in part 2, was it a pun?), car chase, cool stunts. To top it all, both transporter films are not overly dramatic as any of Vin-diesel kind of flicks. Simply put, it’s clean, fast paced and absolutely entertaining.

I am fervently praying for the demise or at least bankruptcy of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Come to think of it, we’d be better off without this entity that takes pleasure in reporting doom, misery, and articles which are products of malicious minds. Just read the paper and you will smell a stench of trash. and hubris.

Seldom you see headlines which tell the likes of 4.8 growth in the economy.

This morning it screamed: Filipinos think life is harder now than the past year. This made me feel like am an alien. Fuck, my life got better this year, thank you. A silly survey from a  runofthemill pollsters who query 500 people by phone got headline space.

It’s just a matter of perspectives, come on.

How do you see a friggin glass of water? half empty or half-full?

If you read too much of this paper you’ll end up answering the former.
