Ben 10: Omniverse

Yesterday ManofAction, the production outfit behind Ben10 sent a twitter post  about a new show coming out  later this year. I was curious and followed the link. I thought at first it was going to be younger Ben set before Alien Force and Ultimate series but the new aliens was a give away that  well, I don't know...I'm speculating at this point. I guess we'll have to wait. 


*gulps* 
And like I said in my reply, I was certainly hoping the character designs of Ben 10 from the Ultimate series would have been retained at least like the one below.

The Last Airbender: Noah Ringer at the ATA Tournament 2012

Link
I was checking out a couple of my faves martial artists' Facebook pages and actor/ TKD practitioner Noah Ringer posted a very nice pic on his wall where from the looks of it, was taken during his autograph signing. 

The Last Airbender movie poster was behind him, similar to the one on the right but with certain changes. 

The poster at the ATA  Roklin, CA event carried names of the honored guests from the American Taekwondo Association. I wish there was another shot of the poster so we can full see what the rest of the tag said. I can only make out "Owes Martial Arts" and "...regionals"

Side note: I also found The Last Airbender Manga which I wrote a review.

I was curious about the event and viewed a couple of clips on Belt Testing. I think this was in Concord.


Made me miss that part of me. :D Given the length of time, yeah, I'd be going for this level too. Good times. 


I'm not included here although it had been a goal of mine. :D The 2009 Philippine Taekwondo Jins. Cheers!

Music Monday (3)



Episode 13 Season 3 "Bringing out the Dead" was troublesome for several of the characters. Caroline, my fave character faced the loss of her father who opted not to transition into a vampire. Caroline, was willing to force him to take vampire blood but her father wouldn't hear any of it because it what was he believed in, it was his strength. I'm curious to see how this will affect Caroline, of course. Would she even go through bereavement like a normal human? Perhaps since she is still not as old as the Salvatore brothers and even close to Klaus and his siblings. Yet  Damon said they (vampires) can opt to switch off their humanity. It sounds too easy for them, huh? Not facing the burden and anguish of losing a love one. Another character that I like is Alaric. He stood in place like a uncle for Elena and Jer and now, someone in Mystic Falls is targeting the founders. It seems the enchanted ring he's wearing is taking its time to help him under supernatural death. Does that bode well to Alaric? Definitely not especially to Elena who at this episode could no longer bear to lose a family member. The song was played towards the end of show as Caroline's father passed and switching from Elena waiting for Alaric to heal.

Skywatch Friday


Check out other entries here


I was searching for my next Skywatch  pic in my folders and I just couldn't help not notice the date when this was taken. :D I guess I must have went with Doc Brown in his cool Delorean. This was actually New Year's Eve 1/1/2012 and I even forgot to use the Fireworks feature/setting of the camera so I don't know how if there would be any difference. The fireworks sure looked like frostings on the cake. 

Book Tunes (2)


Book Tunes is a new meme that will be held on Fridays and the point is to share the book your reading and a song you think represents it. This is hosted by Amber at Downtherabbithole.

From Goodreads:

Supernatural is the cult CW show from the producers of The O.C. andThe X-FiIes, starring Jared Padalecki (Gilmore Girls) and Jensen Ackles (Smallville). Prepare for a spooky roadtrip through the dark heart of America!

Brothers Sam and Dean Winchester cruise America’s back roads in their 1967 Chevy Impala, searching for their father. Raised to fight paranormal evil, along the way they confront creatures most people believe exist only in folklore and nightmares, including wendigos, ghosts, pagan gods and demons.

This official companion is packed with exclusive interviews, photos, behind the scenes secrets, a complete episode guide, plus a color portrait gallery of the stars.



I heard this song during an intermission at the "Face to Face Westlife Concert Tour" and I said to my friend that this song fits Dean Winchester to a T especially the part, where "I would walk 500 more"  since it seemed like that he had. If you've been following the show since it premiered, Dean, I think walked many miles in his shoes. So when I was reading the companion book, I recalled this song. :D I wish the song did make it in the show's OST but after so far it hasn't.

Kripke and JJ Abrams collaboration :D


Photo Credit

We've seen what J.J. Abrams can do :Lost, Fringe, Super 8 (which I haven't seen yet and I'm looking forward to Alcatraz), Star Trek Reboot  and Eric Kripke with his super hit "Supernatural," "Boogeyman", and a new show coming "Deadman" (which I'm eager to see) are teaming up for a TV project called "Revolution," which is going to be a thriller/adventure show.

I'm so excited with this collaboration and I find it utterly interesting too. Even though I lost my way in Lost - too many POVs, Fringe revitalized my interest back to the writing prowess of Mr. Abrams. I'm curious what "Revolution" will offer us. As always for all new shows, I hope ample time and enough marketing will make the show known enough to a lot of possible viewers. Yeah, I'm still pining why Chaos was scrubbed. :(

Ruby Tuesday (3)


This was two days later from the Chinese New Year Celebration. I was the second flight of steps and waiting at the landing for the Chinese dragon and Lion dances to commence. I heard a lot of drums at the background but no sign of the Chinese dragon. 



There were no more performances scheduled for the last day. Check out the others too here.
