Pardon for the recent lack of posts as time has become a luxury.

Taking care of Matmat has become a 24 hour job. With breaks only coming when he is asleep (which is becoming rare during the day as it seems that all he wants to do is play). Good thing is that he enjoys watching TV and is quiet when we are watching the NBA Playoffs.

Speaking of the NBA Playoffs, is it just me or this year's playoffs is one of the most exciting ones in recent memory? Teams has been so evenly matched that all the games are fun to watch. Some of the most exciting matchups had been James vs Arenas and Kobe vs Bell (eat shit KOBE!!! BWAHAHAHA!). I haven't watched this much of the Playoffs since the Bulls beat Barkley and the Suns more than 10 years ago.

I see Matmat starting to stir from his nap. 'til next time.

Da Vinci Code

Yeah, I admit. I have been raring to see the movie ever since I finished reading the book 2 years ago. I also had actors in mind who would be perfect to play the parts (I think Dennis Quaid would have been a better choice to play Langdon. But it is being touted a a summer blockbuster film, so financially speaking, Tom Hanks was the better choice). But for the life of me I don't know why the Philippines would make a big deal about it showing in the country.

Sure, I know that it is a predominantly Catholic country. PREDOMINANTLY!!! The adminstration have been trying to integrate other religions and not alienate them. We have celebrated Muslim holidays (well, it's an extra day off from work), and now we are back to square friggin' one just because the Church and some Cabinet member (get your facts straight, mister, separation of Church and State, assmunch.) wish to get some publicity and display their ignorance.

Religion in films being banned in the country isn't all that new. Remember The Last Temptation of Christ? It was banned in the Philippines because, as in The Da Vinci Code, it showed Jesus being married.

I just wish people in our country grow up. It's really frustrating reading about it in the newspapers and it just shows the ignorance of the people. And the bad thing is that it is that ignorance that the Church and the politicians use to control the masses.

Well, ban it if you want. Most people would just buy the pirated DVDs anyway.

We have finally finished unpacking our stuff in our new place. We love this house! It is a two bedroom (plus an extra den), two baths, huge kitchen, huge living room and a jacuzzi in the master bedroom's bathroom!

Our backyard has this incredible view of the Olympic Mountains.

Huge kitchen with KC's mom.


As you can see, we are now nowhere near a big city. Seattle is now a couple of hours away and the nearest shopping area is back in Silverdale. Good thing they have a reliable internet connection here, cable TV is crap! They have less channels here than we used to have with Comcast.
