EJ Padero dot Com: Volume 1

Last month, I was waiting for the screening of the movie Stardust to start when I thought of taking a photo of the Hitman movie standee poster. It was only after taking the picture that I noticed something interesting I caught in the shot.

Freaky? You decide.

Check out the Hitman movie trailer below:

“The Warrior Is A Child” by Twila Paris
Also performed by Gary Valenciano

Lately I’ve been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I’m amazing
I’m strong beyond my years
But they don’t see inside of me
I’m hiding all the tears

They don’t know that I go running home when I fall down
They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
‘Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

Unafraid because His armor is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I’m amazing
I never face retreat
But they don’t see the enemies
That lay me at His feet

They don’t know that I go running home when I fall down
They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and and cry for just a while
‘Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

They don’t know that I go running home when I fall down
They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and look up for a smile
‘Cause deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
The Warrior is a Child

“Kailangan Kita” by Gary Valenciano

Sa piling mo lang
Nadarama ang tunay na pagsinta
‘Pag yakap kita ng mahigpit
Parang ako’y nasa langit

Ngunit ito ay panaginip lamang
Pagkat ang puso mo’y labis kong nasaktan
Pakiusap ko ako ay pakinggan

Kailangan kita, ngayon at kailanman
Kailangang mong malaman na ikaw lamang
Ang tunay kong minamahal
At tangi kong hiling ay makapiling ka muli

Ngunit ito ay panaginip lamang
Pagkat ang puso mo’y labis kong nasaktan
Pakiusap ko ako ay pakinggan

Kailangan kita, ngayon at kailanman
Kailangan mong malaman na ikaw lamang
Ang tunay kong minamahal
Ang lagi kong dinarasal

Kailangan kita, ngayon at kailanman
Kailangan mong malaman na ikaw lamang
Ang tunay kong minamahal
Ang tangi kong hiling ay makapiling ka muli

Kailangan kita

“Ikaw Lamang”
Originally by Ogie Alcasid
Also performed by Gary Valenciano

Ikaw lamang
Ang tangi kong iniisip
Ang lagi kong panaginip
Tayong dalawa ay laging magmamahalan

Pangarap ko
Na kailan ma’y ‘di maglaho
Ang pag-ibig kong ito
Pagka’t hinding-hindi ko makakayang mawalay sa’yo

Ikaw lamang ang buhay ko
Sana nama’y pakinggan mo
Ang puso ko na mayroong sinasabi

Ikaw lamang
Ang tangi kong minamahal
Ang lagi kong dinarasal
Sana’y habangbuhay tayong magkasama
Ang puso ko’y
Ibibigay lamang sa’yo
Ito ang aking pangako
Mula ngayon hanggang magpakailan pa man
Ikaw lamang

A leisurely drive around the Metro last night ended up at the Global Fun Carnival, SM Mall of Asia Complex.

I hear it opened just a couple of days ago, on October 27. I guess that explains why the place was still pretty much in a sort of “soft opening” phase, not yet too busy and with only a handful of visitors here and there.

Mga Takas:

R.I.P. Jumong?

Tip: The carnival grounds is loose gravel all over. Wear appropriate footwear for that sort of terrain. It won’t be long before those wearing thin slippers (even fancy, thousand-peso Havaianas) get sore feet. High heels? Good luck.
