When the Light Hits The Earth… and Escapes

November 10th, 2006 by leocastillo

Hey gang! Chris & I moved to a new unit in Paragon Plaza. The unit had grand picturesque, almost wrap around windows.

I just discovered something. From my unit I can see BOTH the sunrise and the sunset!

The Ant Bully!!

August 17th, 2006 by leocastillo

Chris and I saw The Ant Bully in IMax 3D the other day….and WOW!!!!!

This is a MUST SEE film! The
WHOLE MOVIE is in 3D
and the effects are amazing! The screen resolution
is great and really designed for IMax (not like Superman Returns na
pilit lang, with 20 minutes of 3D which were just ok, not very good).

The
story is simple, but quite witty.
A bit geared towards kids, but not
too much that it insults your intelligence. It’s pretty good as long as
you’re not expecting a Toy Story or Finding Nemo, enjoyed this so much
more than Cars or the latest Pirates. A big smile was both on our faces
the whole time we were watching this, one of my most memorable film
experiences in recent memory.

You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy this! Watch it now while it’s still in IMax!

Leo

P.S. Do NOT watch this in a non-IMax 3D theater! A lot of the magic will be lost!

P.P.S. And if you watch it, you might realize that this movie is secretly the Communist Manifesto in cartoon form… :-)

What I’ve Learned Today…

August 13th, 2006 by leocastillo

That no matter how right you are, sometimes it still doesn’t matter.

That no matter how busy you are, it’s always good to take a moment for yourself.

That no matter how long you haven’t updated your blog, as long as you feel you have something to say, it’s ok.

We interrupt this blog for an important public service announcement…

WE’VE MOVED!!!!!

Our new address is:

Unit 2901 Paragon Plaza

Landline is still the same.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled blog.

How to Win in Cebu Pacific

November 7th, 2005 by leocastillo

Yeesh! Haven’t updated the blog in the while. One MAJOR reason for this is because I’ve been conducting a series of training programs for a major 5-star resort in Cebu throughout the whole month of October. I’ve actually spent more time in Cebu than in Manila during that month.

Because of this, I’ve been travelling Cebu Pacific a LOT! At least twice a week!

In case you haven’t flown Cebu Pacific, they do some inflight games to create more fun in flying. I’m a dirty bastard and tried to win in almost every flight I’m in. I’ve got 8 Cebu Pacific shirts and some other small prizes in the process (good as silly gifts for Christmas)

Here now is the guide on HOW TO WIN IN CEBU PACIFIC!

1. "Show Me" Game - A variation of the Bring Me game. All you need to do is to be the first to hold up the item the hosts are looking for. Here’s a list of items that I’ve heard them look for…

- a boarding pass
- a passport
- a picture of your significant other
- a picture of your mother-in-law
- three items with a Cebu Pacific logo (tip: your boarding pass, your plane ticket, the "airport safety" card, a napkin they give out when they give food, your headrest, the barf bag, a magazine with their logo, etc.)
- a simcard (ANY simcard)
- a SUN Cellular Simcard (Cebu Pac & Sun are both Gokongwei)
- a P200 bill
- a pair of shoes
- a belt

TIP: Have these items ready to raise while the host gives the mechanics of the game… so bring out your wallet, your boarding pass, etc.  You need to be fast!

2. Movie Quotes Game - Hehehe, it’ll be hard to beat me in this game. The hosts give a line from a film and your job is to say which movie it came from. Some that I’ve heard…

- Hasta La Vista Baby (Terminator)
- Life is like a box of chocolates (Forrest Gump)
- Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering (Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace)
- You’re nothing but a second rate trying hard copycat! (Bituing Walang Ningning)

3. Riddles/Bugtong Game - they give a riddle/bugtong and you answer it. Duh.

- I start with an E and end with an E and I have one letter in between. (No, it’s not EYE or EVE, or ERE… it’s an Envelope.)
- The maker doesn’t own it, the buyer doesn’t use it, and the user doesn’t know it. (a coffin)
- What does the poor have, the rich don’t have, and the idiot knows? (nothing)

The bugtongs I forgot. :-)

4. Volunteer Game - Sometimes the hosts will say they will give out a special price if somebody volunteers and comes up front. They don’t say what you’re going to do. When you get there they tell you…

- they want you to SING!! (sometimes dance as well).
- they’ll want you to do the Stewardess Spiel (with matching hand movements and wearing the lifevest)

Foreigners are suckers for this tactic.

I’ll be flying again to Cebu in December I think. Will do more research and broadcast to the world.

The Perfect Barkada Gift

September 25th, 2005 by leocastillo

Ever been bewildered looking for the perfect gift?

Here’s what you do.

1. Get your barkada together.
2. Get everyone to chip in until you reach roughly P13000.
3. Go to an Apple Center and get an iPod Nano.
4. Watch as your friend screams in delight.

Seriously, I can see no one loving this one. It’s such a beautiful thing! It’ll last a long time! It’s reasonably priced! Everytime your friend sees it, they’ll be reminded of the barkada love!

Try it. We did and our dear friend Zeena is still singing our names to high heaven. :-)

Leo

P.S. My birthday’s not too far away. Hint hint.
P.P.S.  I like the Black 4GB by the way. Ok, tama na hints. :-)

What I’ve Learned Today

September 6th, 2005 by leocastillo

Note: Welcome to my blog! The third attempt to a personal one. If you want insightful photography commentary, go to The Photoworks Blog at photoworks.blogs.friendster.com. For my random ramblings, take a look around and enjoy. :-)

What I’ve Learned Today…. Talking makes me hungry.

For the first time in a long while, I’m all alone in the condo. And guess what? I’m not hungry!

Then I realized if Chris were here I’d be hungry.

Then I realized that before and after a Photoworks class I get hungry.

Then I realized that before and after I do ANY training program I get hungry.

Then I realized when I TALK A LOT I GET HUNGRY!

Goddarnit, no wonder I lost weight last year and gained so much this year!

Enough talking. I’m getting hungry.
