Kingdomcome1

my holiday is coming to an end, and all is good. i’d like to think that of all the holidays i’ve had throughout my academic years, this is one of the best.

i spent this holiday working as an accountant for a construction company. being the accountant, i was aware of every single cent of money flowing in and out.

it is while doing this work that i came to realize one of mankind’s many frailties. some seemingly respectable people actually live their lives by stealing (filtering money here and there so that finally it all ended up being in their pockets instead of in the rightful owner’s). they’re not poor, no, far from it in fact. each one of them has more than enough to get by.

the only logical reason i could come up with (and trust me, yours would be exactly the same, should you be in my place); they have fallen to the temptation of money and power. these two things can be dangerously addictive if you can’t control them. i’ve seen firsthand how sinfully sweet the temptation can be and how horribly bitter the effect is on those who fell to it.(you can’t run away from karma)

lest we forget, let us all remind ourselves..not to be tempted.

superman returns

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

I can’t wait to see this new superman movie. I’m no big fan, it’s just that this is one of those ‘gotta see’ movies for me (ok maybe i like superman a little bit). I guess it’s all about the expectation and anticipation - anticipating the day when your expectation be fulfilled (or not).

now, why am i writing this? wrong! that’s not what you should ask, i am free to write anything that i see fit. why are you reading this? now, that’s the right question to ask. don’t you have something more important to do like that unfinished work on your desk? slacker!

erhm..well..that aside, while waiting for the movie to come out, i’ve scoured the internet for related pictures, videos and info. Judging from the materials found, i think this movie is going to make it. it wouldn’t flop like ‘daredevil’, ‘electra’, ‘batman&robin, and the worst of em all, ’steel’ (see you’ve never even heard of it).

here are some interesting pictures. this one here is a digitally altered photo of brandon routh, done so that he looks more superman-ish. (whoever did this, did a good job)

and then, there’s this one, where you can actually see double-sided tapes on superman’s shoulders where the cape usually rests. and you can also see that the same method is used to attach superman’s yellow belt around his waist.

ah, another interesting pic, a never seen before grey superman costume.
