How did the monk become a puppy? Find out tomorrow!

The applicants from my sponsor org UP DOST-SA did a cool thing by posing as various Beerkada books while promoting the event. As shown in the 9th pic, they’re collectively known as the “Boxed Set Beauties”. Heheh.

You can imagine these mascots conversing while the guys they’re talking to are staring at their comic strips. Men are just after one thing…

What I found disturbing is the comic strips these mascots featured are taken from yesterday’s storyline. Now I know how Hollywood studios feels when the movies they just released in theaters start appearing in Quiapo stalls the very next day.

The Beerkada UP Diliman tour continues until Friday. Kitakits!

I just watched The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor with Chompy.

I went in with very low expectations as befitting a Mummy movie, and yet I must say there are several things that challenged my suspension of disbelief.

I cannot believe that Maria Bello is the same character played previously by Rachel Weisz. Especially if it’s an American actress with a British accent.

And I cannot believe that Brendan Fraser can hope to defeat Jet Li.

This is similar to the feeling I had when I watched Lethal Weapon 4.  Mel Gibson cannot hope to defeat Jet Li.

You can only hope to defeat Jet Li using underhanded tactics, such as poisoning (Fearless), backstabbing (literally in Dragon Emperor), trickery (The Forbidden Kingdom), or when he willingly surrenders (Hero).

Also, when the movie starts giving him supernatural powers, like shape-shifting, i was thinking, “Jet Li don’t need no superpowers.”

It’s like when Jackie Chan got supernatural powers in “The Medallion”.

Jackie Chan don’t need no supernatural powers.

Especially if he’s fighting against Julian Sands, the guy who de-limbed a girl in Boxing Helena.

Oh, and when the full trailer for Eagle Eye came out, I was thinking that Shia LeBeouf will sa, “No. No.Nononononono.” at least 3 times in that movie.
