Enjoy the pictures my cousin took below; no captions needed, just looking at them brought me back to those inexplicably blissed-out goosebump moments when I waved at Pope JP2 on Roxas Boulevard. And according to BanANA, Pope Benedict XVI has exactly the same kind of blessed aura that Pope John Paul II had. I pray that he visits the Philippines soon, GOD knows we need him now!!! <A href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4LuN1pXiI/AAAAAAAAEcU/NgPAq9OQs7Q/s1600-h/4.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192100309021318690 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4LuN1pXiI/AAAAAAAAEcU/NgPAq9OQs7Q/s320/4.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4KcN1pXhI/AAAAAAAAEcM/qCGvr7Olbi0/s1600-h/5.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192098900272045586 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4KcN1pXhI/AAAAAAAAEcM/qCGvr7Olbi0/s320/5.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4II91pXeI/AAAAAAAAEb0/0EwqGAhtQ94/s1600-h/6.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192096370536308194 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4II91pXeI/AAAAAAAAEb0/0EwqGAhtQ94/s320/6.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4Jgt1pXfI/AAAAAAAAEb8/_g-K5sNQ2aM/s1600-h/2.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192097878069829106 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4Jgt1pXfI/AAAAAAAAEb8/_g-K5sNQ2aM/s320/2.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4W191pXlI/AAAAAAAAEco/kFd3zM0Nzzs/s1600-h/logo_ratzinger.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192112536793210450 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4W191pXlI/AAAAAAAAEco/kFd3zM0Nzzs/s200/logo_ratzinger.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4H291pXdI/AAAAAAAAEbs/6FyrCx-PRwk/s1600-h/a.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192096061298662866 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4H291pXdI/AAAAAAAAEbs/6FyrCx-PRwk/s320/a.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4HX91pXcI/AAAAAAAAEbk/2tk8bOjV0D0/s1600-h/b.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192095528722718146 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4HX91pXcI/AAAAAAAAEbk/2tk8bOjV0D0/s320/b.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4GfN1pXbI/AAAAAAAAEbc/LMIQBqiceZ0/s1600-h/c.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192094553765141938 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4GfN1pXbI/AAAAAAAAEbc/LMIQBqiceZ0/s400/c.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4FiN1pXaI/AAAAAAAAEbU/4YFmKTc5rXA/s1600-h/e.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192093505793121698 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4FiN1pXaI/AAAAAAAAEbU/4YFmKTc5rXA/s400/e.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4E8d1pXZI/AAAAAAAAEbM/64Vb2cbTH3k/s1600-h/f.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192092857253059986 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_owoXClFgJgY/SA4E8d1pXZI/AAAAAAAAEbM/64Vb2cbTH3k/s400/f.jpg" border=0></A> The popemobile's license plate number is: SCV 1 SCV in Italian stands for: Stato della Citta del Vaticano (Vatican City State) http://spanx.multiply.com/journal/item/801/MIRACLE_on_50th_Street_ Tue, 22 Apr 2008 17:04:44 -0000 did we just get a confirmation?

JJ Abrams' CLOVERFIELD and Diane Lane in UNTRACEABLE CLOVERFIELD > with director's commentary, deleted scenes, making of the monster docu, and alternate endings > this movie actually works better on dvd: it doesn't make you as dizzy, and it's more, well, intimate, with 5.1 surround sound... it plays out much better on TV because CLOVERFIELD essentially is a home video of a monster running amuck, and since we really watch home videos at home rather than on a theater screen, this movie seems more urgent and plausible on DVD, and it's even scarier!!! UNTRACEABLE > not yet an original DVD rip, but clear enough picture & color, and very good sound. > it's about a Video Blogger who's also a Serial Killer, (who seems to love the torture porn of movies like Hostel) being hunted down by the FBI's anti-piracy (!) and anti-black hat, anti-hacker Agents (the real-life men and women who shut down sites like napster, kazaa, and soon, limewire) and in this age of the exponential popularity of blogs like Brian Gorell's, exe... http://spanx.multiply.com/photos/album/21/New_DIBIDIs_in_Quiapo_JJ_Abrams_CLOVERFIELD_and_Diane_Lane_in_UNTRACEABLE_ Sat, 12 Apr 2008 11:19:50 -0000 The BEATLES Night(mare) Sorry, John, Paul, George, & Ringo!!! That was the WORST American Idol show. EVER!!! WTF?!?!??!?! When my least favorite contestant, Syesha, has the best performance of the night.... (it's hard to make a mess of Yesterday, one of the best love songs ever) well, something is Seriously Wrong. I think all of the Top 11, instead of studying the songs, and really understanding these Beatles classics, probably gossiped about the $48,000,000 that Paul's ex-wife Heather will be getting. That divorce settlement was an insult to Sir Paul, and this whole episode was an insult to the Beatles: Skunk Lady groaned/screeched through Back In The USSR, (haller! it was a Beach Boys homage by the Beatles, girl! The song is all harmonies, lady, NOT discordant vocals) Horse Lady totally went out of control and couldn't find the melody of You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, David Archuleta turned Long And Winding Road into a Loooong and Booooor... http://spanx.multiply.com/reviews/item/31 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 12:38:51 -0000 New in Q : The Screeners Are Here!!!
