The Simpsons - Now & Then
Monday, April 23, 2007
2007 marks the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons franchise. With 394 episodes, 18 seasons, and 1 movie (with 1 more movie to come), this is the longest running handrawn cartoon in the world!
Then
The image above are The Simpsons as they first appeared at Tracy Ullman show. Look at how Bart smirks, and Homer-- he looks like he could kill any one with just one wrong move. Their hairstyles are kind of sick too! Uneven spikes and very pointed lips. Their facial expressions -- scary!
Now
Ahhh! Better! Although Homer lost a few more strands of hair, at least he is smiling. Bart also looks more child friendly. As for Marge's hair, it became taller but she sure can carry that style!
This just makes me really excited for the movie (I'm still excited for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. )
I found this video at YouTube. They are the real life Simpsons family. Ubercool!

Am I really supposed to answer this question? Or is it one of those trick questions from "Game na Game na!" that has virtually no answer?
Technically, I was überbusy with things that happens every once in while. Yah know. No, am not talking about the prelims! I am talking about the more special things... Things that are spent with special person(s).
Gawd... Just read on baby!
Boys night out Friday Night, December 15th
Hinithit ko ang huling usok ng Marlboro lights at tinapon ito sa daan (mga bata, wag tularan). Tang-ina late na ko. Binilsan ko ang aking paglakad sa kalye na kahit na hindi ko naman dinaraanan araw-araw ay saulado ko na kahit ang mga bako nito. Papunta ako kina B, para isang "piging," "salusalo" at konting inuman.
Pero pagdating ko dun ay paalis sila, nandun pala si Resty para sunduin kami papunta sa kanila, dahil nagkaron ng isang surprise party para sa kanyang ika dalawampu't-isang kaarawan. Anim kami medyo siksikan sa kotse.
On the way, papuntang Imus ang napagusapan ay mga bagay na hindi angkop banggitin dito sa blog kaya isipin nyo nalang hindi ko to sinabi ang tungkol dito at magiiba na ako ng topic.
So iba na ang topic... Medyo marami ding handa at dahil nga biglaan hindi na kami nakapag get-up ng angkop. Tulad na lamang ni B na nakashorts lamang (hehe).
Masarap yung siomai nila na malalaki talaga! Kumbaga sa mga bading... "kebla." Kebla yung siomai nila. Da best din yung putopao at yung iba pang handa... kaso hindi ko na masyadong natikman yung iba dahil na nga rin sa pagkalunod ko sa keblang siomai.
Parang hit and run ang nangyari, dahil pagkakain namin ay bumatsi na dahil nga meron din kaming inuman kina B. So pag kahatid samin ni Resty ay dumaretso na kami sa "altar" para sambahin si Generoso. Hahaha! In fairness, walang masamang tama ang "generous" drink na 'to. may tama sya pero tamang tama (right hit). tapos ang pulutan namin ay sisig na lumalangoy sa mantika at wari'y bumubulong ng "Fuck me! Fuck me! I'll kill you laterz!"
Kaya ayun kinabukasan may exam ako ng Cisco, medyo windang pa ang utak ko. haha. buti nalang tinulungan nila ako sa cabling. Kung hindi nakow! I am a dead meat!
Iya's sorority initiation Sunday, December 17th
Dang late nanaman! Kasi naman lunch ang call time... tapos kami ni Bing 4:00 na yata dumating. Kasi naman ang tanda na ni Bing ayaw parin pakawalan... kaya ayan nagwawala! (hihi)
Astig ng initiation ni Iya! ang daming tao... pati yung mga ka-brod nandun. Kaso nga alng hindi ako nakapunta, kasi naman....!!!
Kaya pagdating namin dun sa post party, ang nabutan nalang namin ay pancit! Huhuhu! Pancit nanaman! ang sabi ko pa naman kay bing tom jones na tom jones na ako at sobrang napapa-sex bomb na ako sa sobrang tomguts! Kala ko pagdating namin dun papainumin agad kami ni Joseph... hehe. Naalala ko. Noong 4th year H.S., minura ako ni Joseph sabay pakita ng dirty finger! tang-ina nya, buti nalang nasa scooter sya nun... at buti nalang talaga, si Joga ang GF nya dahil tropa ko si Joga, kakalimutan ko nalang yun.
Anyways, kumain ako ng pancit, ok din naman... pero ang gusto ko talaga ay yung may ulam may kanin may softdrink may dessert may agaw bitin... lol.
Tapos dumating na si Joyce... Si Joyce na heartbroken... Kawawa naman sya, kasi 1 year and 6 months na sila, tapos ganun lang sila maghihiwalay. Parang yung 18 moths na magkasama kayo, parang ang dali dali lang naiwan nun lalaki. Kaya ayun topic sila buong gabi. haha.
Kaya ako hindi ko gagawin sa baby ko yun. *wink* *wink*
Pagkatapos ng kaunting iyakan... Balik na ulit sa saya. TAMA NA YAN, INUMAN NA!
Konti nga lang kami eh, hindi kasi nakapunta yung iba, yung iba naman nasa America na, yung iba nasa London, yung iba nasa lamay (seryoso), yung iba nagiinarte. Pero ayus din, masaya ko dahil nakasama ko ulit yung mga tropa ko nung H.S. Konti na nga lang at mapapakanta na kami ng "We're soaring... flying..."
Buti nalang at best actor ako, pag-uwi ko ng bahay hindi nahala na makainom ako. LOL
Bday Galore Monday, December 18th
Happy Birthday nga pala ulet kay Rosebell! Ang sarap nung Sushi-wong nyo. Nakakainis talaga magbyahe papuntang Imus. Buset ang iistupid ng mga tao. Grrrr! Ang sikip sikip pa ng daan tapos lintik pa ang bumper to bumper na traffic. Grrrr! Tapos sa jeep ka nakasakay, yung nasa harapan nyo isang damonyong driver tapos bubugahan kayo ng maitim este ITIM na usok! Grrr! Tapos ang dami pang kalabit-penge. Ay naku, san ba nawalan ng kalabit penge sa Pilipinas???
Buti nalang talaga nabusog ako kina Bell, Pero 5:00 pm umalis narin ako dun, dahil nagpapasama pa ako sa Mama ko na bumili ng regalo para kay Rej, dahil christmas party ng mga kablocks ko.
Parteh! Tuesday, December 19th
9:00 ang call time sa Coco pavillion, pero alas-diyes na, halos kalahati palang ang dumarating. Taon taon may christmas party ang mga blockmates ko pero ito ang pinaka-malaki at pinaka magastos.
Nagsimula kasi yan noong 2nd year college kami, kaming mga Sawago® lang ang kasi noon. Hanggang last year, nagsali narin kami nang iba at itong taon nga na 'to ay buong block na.
Ang dami ngang food eh, bali ang toka-toka kasi ay batay sa groupings sa robotics tapos ang na toka samin ay drinks, cups, at mga chicherya. Tapos sa ibang groups naman ay mga ihaw-ihaw, boneless na bangus, pancit (pancit nanaman??!!)... yung mga tipikal na pagkain.
Syempre ang main event ng party ay ang exchange gifts. 'Tong taon na to, medyo hindi naging maganda yung outcome ng exchange gifts, yun ay opinyon ko lang naman... kung ikukumpera sya sa mga naunang exchange gifts namin, ito na yata ang worse.
Una dahil hindi kami kumpleto. Pangalawa, ang pangit ng lugar at ang daming naka-tingin. Pangatlo napuputol ang pagbibigay dahil nga hindi kami kumpleto.
Para sakin ang best gift ay ang natanggap ni Ven. Nike shoes. Huhuhu! sana ako nalang ang nabunot ni Haqs!
At ang worst gift... consistent. Yung galing kay IC. Kasi naman nauubos yung regalo nya. tandang tanda ko ang itsura ni Annalyn nung binuksan nya... almost the same expression when Leslie opened her's last year. Peace.
Tapos ng exchange gifts ay konting kasiyahan, swimming swimming, kain, inom. Tapos ako mga around 6:00 pm bumatsi na ko dahil may pupuntahan pa akong yet another inuman. Sayang nga dahil hanggang 9:00 pm lang din ako dito, hindi ko nakita si Rej, suot nya pa naman daw yung gift ko sa kanya.
Kung gusto nyo nga pala makita yung gift sakin ni Diana... eto sya.
"Tenac" Wednesday, December 20th
Nasa MOA ako, nanood kasi kami ng movie na Tenacious D ni Hwoarang este Andy Roddick, I mean Hedric.
Nakakatawa yung movie, "crazy" ika nga...

High School Musical
Wednesday, November 15, 2006
I just watched it a few minutes ago...
Troy and Gabriella, two complete strangers, both go to a New Year's Eve Party. They are chosen to sing "Start of Something New". Afterwards, they introduce themselves and exchange numbers, promising to call each other.
Gabriella's mother's company transfers to Albuquerque, not knowing that Troy actually attends her new school. Troy is also the star player of the basketball team, of which his father, Jack Bolton, is the coach.
During homeroom, Ms. Darbus, the theater teacher, announces the upcoming auditions for the winter musical. Troy sees Gabriella at the back and tries to call her. Her cellphone rings and leads to Sharpay, Ryan, Troy, Gabriella, Taylor and Chad getting detention.
After homeroom, Troy and Gabriella meet and look at the signup sheet for the auditions. Sharpay finds them and assumes that Gabriella wants to sign up. She and Ryan put an article about Gabriella's academic achievements into Taylor's locker. During detention, Taylor approaches Gabriella and invites her to join the school's scholastic decathlon team.
As a result of the detention both Troy and Chad miss their basketball practice, much to the annoyance of Coach Bolton. During a confrontation between the coach and Ms. Darbus it is made clear that neither of them has any real respect for the work that the other does. Troy eventually takes part in practice but he can't seem to stop thinking about Gabriella, which is reflected by the whole team singing "Get'cha Head in the Game".
On the day of the auditions, Chad tells Troy that there is a basketball practice during free period. However, Troy chooses to go to the auditions instead. He meets Gabriella backstage and both watch a series of bad auditions, followed by Sharpay and Ryan's rendition of "What I've Been Looking For". Gabriella suddenly decides to audition, however, Ms. Darbus tells her that she is too late.
After a confrontation with Sharpay, Kelsi, the composer of the musical, trips and drops her notes. Troy and Gabriella rush to help her and end up singing a slower and more correct (according to Kelsi) version of the song "What I've Been Looking For". Ms. Darbus watches them from behind a wall and decides to give them a chance, inviting then to perform at the callbacks. When Sharpay finds out, she is furious.
With the captain of the Wildcats daring to try something new, it seems many students are losing their inhibitions and revealing their true desires to their friends, much to the annoyance of Sharpay. In the cafeteria most of the school breaks out into song singing, "Stick to the Status Quo". While Sharpay is having a stroll through the cafeteria, Gabriella trips and her lunch spills all over Sharpay's jacket. Sharpay informs Ms. Darvis that Troy and Gabriella are trying to destroy the musical. Ms. Darbus informs Coach Bolton and ends up having yet another argument with him.
Chad and Taylor decide that they need to do something and devise a plan. The basketball team tricks Troy into saying that Gabriella isn't important while she watches events through a Wi-Fi link. Gabriella is hurt and sings "When There Was Me and You", later telling Troy that she isn't going to do the auditions anymore.
After seeing how Troy and Gabriella no longer get along, Chad and Taylor decide to tell them the truth. However, Gabriella still refuses to forgive Troy, until he turns up at her balcony singing the harmony of "Start of Something New".
In order to secure their places in the musical, Sharpay and Ryan persuade Ms. Darbus to change the callbacks time to coincide with the championship game and the scholastic decathlon. When Kelsi finds out, she and the others are devastated, but the scholastics and the jocks work together to come up with a plan.
On the day itself, Taylor and Gabriella send a virusinto the system to disrupt the basketball game, then boil a bad-smelling chemical to stall the decathlon. Troy and Gabriella then run to the theater.
Sharpay and Ryan finish performing "Bop to the Top". But when Troy and Gabriella show up after Ms. Darbus called their names, she tells them, again, that they are too late. People start streaming into the theater to support them, giving Ms. Darbus no choice but to let them perform "Breaking Free". In the end, Ms. Darbus gives the parts to Troy and Gabriella. After winning both the scholastic decathlon and the basketball game. Gabriella runs up to Troy and they try to kiss but are interupted by Chad, who is trying to give the game ball to Troy but ends up giving the ball to Kelsi. Jason Cross helps her shoot a basket and then the entire school gathers in the gym to perform "We're All in This Together". After the credits roll, Sharpay is seen complementing Zeke on his cookies. She hugs him and they move off the camera as Zeke promises to make her a creme burlee.
And some pics...
Some Trivia:
Factual error: When Troy and Gabriella swap cellphones to give each other their number, they take a picture and put in a number. Both Troy and Gabriella put in less than 6 keystrokes, while the US standard for cellphone numbers is 7 digits.
Continuity: The post-callback basketball scene's countdown clock isn't accurate. If you try counting with it (using your DVD player's time indicator), you'll notice that it reaches 0 by the time that the ball's being passed to Troy. That's considering no shot is done in slow motion.
Audio problem: Since the songs were pre-recorded, in We're all in this together, you can hear either troy or Gabriella's voice signing background, not matching the others' lyrics, but their lips are moving to the same words as all the others.
Of Course a little thanks to:
