Vehicle 19

Vehicle 19 received low scores in the reviews but it's really not that bad. And the plot was actually good. Perhaps one reason why they rated it so low was because they could only compare it to "The Fast and the Furious" and other car-action movies out there. And why would anyone expect much from Paul Walker's acting? I mean haven't they seen his other movies? 

Anyway, I think you have to be someone who has played NFS or GTA to appreciate Vehicle 19. The scenes from start to finish, the neighborhood, even the incidental characters reminded us so much of these games. The car wash and paint shop scene was sooo GTA! 

By the way, NFS = Need For Speed and GTA = Grand Theft Auto.

So if you feel like watching Paul Walker do some of your favorite GTA or NFS moments, watch Vehicle 19. But if you expect academy award-winning everything, then stay away.

Random Things I'm Eyeing

Hi everyone! It's me Shirl and I'd like to share random photos of things (from the internet) that I'm currently eyeing.

1. These Swatch watches are so pretty! I wonder if they're waterproof. Two years from now, I'll be needing most of my stuff to be waterproof and/or water resistant.

2. How cute can these shoes be? They're pretty cheap too. The most expensive is only around Ph₱2000.

The following - I REALLY, REALLY WANT!

3. Anything solar-powered is too cool! I wonder if there's a store here in the Philippines that sell these Energizer products?

 

4. Either of these rock! I have never used nailers before but I trust both brands. Plus I won't have any trouble looking for parts or accessories because Black&Decker and Bosch are popular here.

5. Bosch 10" worksite table saw. If I can have this, it will be my favorite thing on earth!

6. Bosch Power Hand Saw.

By now you're probably wondering what a girl could possibly like in power tools? Well, when I was a kid I secretly wanted to be a carpenter. Sadly I live in a country where such profession is snubbed. This is another reason why I wanted to be Japanese so badly. The Japanese have respect for these kind of jobs. In Japan all I'll have to do is find an artisan and apply as an apprentice. Here try to do that and your parents will forget you exist especially when they've been working their ass off just to send you to a good college. So yeah, that's the story.

Now let's go back to the cool stuff, shall we?

7. GoPro: Hero 3 White Edition HD Camera

That's all for now. What about you? What are the things you're eyeing? Please share below. :-)
