I refuse to believe it. Case in point: at Iana's party last Saturday, I invoked a lot of familiar moves I haven't really tried in almost 4 years and really let it loose on the dance floor (or the street, for that matter). That really felt so damn good. Except for the searing pain at my side and the pop at the base of my neck afterwards. Yes, I busted the moves and a few muscles apparently. I obviously wasn't prepared for such an intense workout! At the same party, I embarked on a mission to outrank the top 2 subjects of incriminating photos from Paul's party the previous Saturday - Carl and Lynn. Simply. For. The. Heck. Of. It. Mission accomplished. Thanks, Iana, for a great party. I haven't felt that alive in a long time. The following day was just as eventful. Thanks to our client at SM Cinemas, my company was able to get tickets to the Red Carpet Premiere of The Dark Knight held at SM Megamall. Will post my review of the movie on its opening day this Thursday so as not to spoi... http://pinoyavenger.multiply.com/journal/item/65/Weekend_in_Heaven_and_Hell Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:56:00 -0000 Joe Q and BMB's League of Avengers <a href="http://pinoyavenger.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SHavkQoKCn4AAChtkbA1"></a><a href="http://pinoyavenger.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SHavkQoKCn4AAChtkbA1"><img class="alignright" src="http://images.pinoyavenger.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SHavkQoKCn4AAChtkbA1/Flying_the_Classics_by_Enymy.jpg?et=uGBz5N3ZB4qdP%2BEbAG53SA&nmid=0" border="0"></a>I have to wonder... and question... the sanity of Joe Quesada and Brian Bendis' vision for the Avengers. Stan Lee and every scribe that followed him had made it a point to make the Avengers as distinctly different from DC's Justice League. Then came Joe Q and Bendis. In one fell swoop, they managed to do away with 40+ years of loyal fandom with Avengers Disassembled. From the ashes of the Mansion, a central figure in Avengers mythos, and the bodies of prominent Avengers, came the New Avengers. The only justification they give is that the team was supposed to be 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes', so why aren't made of Marvel best and brightest? To that end, they pooled founding Avenger Iron Man, frequent leader Captain America, resigned Avenger and Marvel flagship Spider-man with the overexposed Wolverine, underused Luke Cage, retired Spider-woman, and “who the hell?” characters the Sentry and Ronin (who would later turn out to be Echo, a minor character in the Daredevil book). That brings the ... http://pinoyavenger.multiply.com/journal/item/64/Joe_Q_and_BMBs_League_of_Avengers Fri, 11 Jul 2008 01:00:10 -0000 In Search of Wonder Woman <a href="http://pinoyavenger.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SHauVQoKCn4AAAqvth81"></a><a href="http://pinoyavenger.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SHauVQoKCn4AAAqvth81"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.pinoyavenger.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SHauVQoKCn4AAAqvth81/avengers_wall_scroll_pt_1_by_SeclusionStudios.jpg?et=cIvsW%2BmXqD53zNvCMM5HJg&nmid=0" border="0"></a>I love the Avengers. Big surprise. However, a huge part of me is still a tad disappointed at Stan Lee and co. for not developing a strong enough female character who could flourish outside a team and who's not a knock off of an existing, popular male character. I look at the assortment of Marvel's female heroes and outside of the Avengers, the only ones who have achieved wide popularity are the X-women Phoenix and Storm (Before you say anything, the Invisible Woman is still listed among official Avengers). All 3 women have represented the Marvel universe pretty well, IMHO. Unfortunately, the first female Avengers the Wasp and the Scarlet Witch have not achieved wide recognition outside of the comic-reading populace to even be considered. That begs the question though: should Marvel's first lady be the Avengers' as well? After all, Marvel's flagship, Spider-man, wasn't included in the initial Avengers lineup despite having debuted around the same time as Iron Man, Hulk and Thor.

I've been saying it this past year and I'm gonna say it again - Avengers: The Initiative is more an Avengers book than the New, the Mighty or the NEW New Avengers are. Probably the only good thing to come out of the Civil War. Short premise: The Initiative takes place after the Super-hero Registration Act is enforced and the super-powers now have Camp Hammond to train would-be heroes, as well as formerly-introduced heroes with the intent of placing them on 50 teams covering all 50 states. Some fans liken the series to DC's Legion of Superheroes considering its large (and expanding) cast. Speaking of the cast, Slott and Gage does a good job of maintaining the diversity of their characters - both old and new. Aside from introducing new characters (Cloud 9, Hardball, Komodo, Trauma) into the Marvel universe in the init... http://pinoyavenger.multiply.com/reviews/item/3 Wed, 2 Jul 2008 16:01:04 -0000 I Wish I Could Go Back To College For those new friends I've only met recently...

So... let's play "No Guts, No Glory!" The rules are simple.    1. If you want to date the person who posted this, send a Personal Message, not a reply to this post, saying "Coffee?"    2. If you have a crush on the person who posted this, send a Personal Message saying"You're hot!"    3. If you just want to sleep with them & stay friends, send them a message that says "Nice shoes!"    4. If you simply just want to kiss the person who posted this, send a Personal Message saying, "I do!" SCARED? The only rule is that, you must not make anyone who sends you a personal message feel stupid for feeling that way about you. Acknowledge. Say thank you. Move on.

No way I'm moving from Rent. But last Saturday, thanks to a head's up from <a href="http://rejjventress.multiply.com">Rej</a>, I saw the farewell run of Avenue Q at the Carlos Romulo Auditorium.

(*Shocking I know right?*) Whenever there's a mall-wide sale, I do check it out but if I'm not on the market for anything prioritizingly important, I make a mad dash for the bookstores and see what they have on sale. The thing is that I'm finally building my library with my chosen book collections and, save for one (regretably) , every book I've ever bought this year were all at 20% off! Sweet! Thank you National Bookstore, Powerbooks and Fully Booked (SM Mall of Asia) and Powerbooks (Robinson's Ermita) This is because I've recently developed the tendency to stockpile on books I know I've yet to read in the edition that I need them to build a consistent collection. Come on, it's not everyday that the books I need are at 20% off and some of the editions aren't exactly that commonplace. So I buy them if I find them (in bulk!) even if I don't have the time to read them yet. So, my to-read pile just keeps on growing. <a href="http://pinoyavenger.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SEnyAQoKCn4AADY1UW01"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.pinoyavenger.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SEnyAQoKCn4AADY1UW01/PICT6306.JPG?et=4BCiTl%2CV5JrdWPjkVh88GQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a> To read: Temple of the Winds (Terry Goodkind, Sword of Truth 4 - ... http://pinoyavenger.multiply.com/journal/item/55/My_To_Read_Pile Sat, 7 Jun 2008 02:41:24 -0000 My First Time with My Baby Yes, I know many have been dying for me to post this.

So, to the bottom of my priorities it went. My big ass TV has been sitting quietly in my room for weeks now. I'm not glad but so far, the unprecedented results have been favorable. I'm reading a hundred (or so) pages a day of "A Storm of Swords" (A Song of Ice and Fire Book 3) Instead of TV over breakfast, I go online and check my Multiply in the morning.
