A "Dark" Experience courtesy of Batman: The Dark Knight

Welcome to the Dark Side.


No. I’m not referring to one of the more famous line in the Star Wars series. But the well acclaimed Batman movie. I was not supposed to watch this movie since an office barkada gimmick was set. But then, due to unlikely office toxicity and demanding bosses (and a million reasons not to join the engagement), the set gimmick was postponed (again). And, out of the blue, as I was going home, my mom invited me to watch the show. So, there I am, joining the public in line to get a ticket at the SM North Edsa-The Block to catch a glimpse of the said motion picture.

And the movie goes…

The storyline was nowhere that I had expected. It was impressive! I was only expecting The Joker (played by Heath Ledger) as the main villain of the movie, but somewhere near the end, Two-Face(played by Aaron Eckhart) appears! That’s why the name Harvey Dent was sounding a bit familiar when I heard it during the movie. Not only that, I hadn’t noticed the coin-tossing-act as a clue! It was actually my sister (who’s 13 years younger than me) who reminded me that Two-Face does that.

And my comments….

Pros:

1. The Bat Mobile (This car can outrun any bus in EDSA!)! And that Bat-cycle!

I could ride one of these!


2. Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar for that stellar performance! You can’t recognize Heath being the Joker, and he made the character creepier.

3. Storyline was impressive; expect the unexpected.

4. Action packed fun.

Cons:

1. The way Batman talks. Para siyang may plema sa lalamunan.


Generally, the movie was genius.


Hopefully, they would remake the Batman series in the past.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Natalie Portman and Scarlet Johansson as Poison Ivy or Catwoman. (grins widely)

Becoming a UP Accountant....for five weeks!

Let me savor the moment for a while.

So this is what it feels like being a student at the prestigious State University, the University of the Philippines in Diliman at Quezon City...

Me and this oblation guy, we're cool

Then comes nostalgia of those gruesome, traveling-through-the-Commonwealth-traffic-to-look- for-the-Math-Building-where-I-would-take-my-entrance-exam days when I was an applicant seven years back just to study at the said institution. Although I did pass the grade requirement, but did not make through the quota ( since I applied for quota courses - Accountancy, Industrial Eng'g and Computer Science).

And then here I am. I' m a student of UP. So much for sweet revenge...

I took an Accounting Program at UP to learn the science deeply and to apply it to business..and make my resume' look a bit believable. It lasted for five weeks, from June 21 through July 19, every Saturday from 9AM to 5PM.


the tower of knowledge

the mentor's list


Actually, I was expecting nothing new( since my Accounting professor back in college was, well, not good in teaching) but I was wrong. I didn't know that the science is interesting. The consultants were practitioners and they mentor good. They made the program exciting. The discussions were mind-stimulating, exciting and light. There's no reason that you shouldn't learn.
In relation to that, the class was a good mix that made me learn more since we were composed of different professionals from different industries ranging from garments to shipping.


the dome of knowledge



the tools


I plan now to take a Management Course at the same university next.

I wanna sing that UP Hymn soon.
