| Barasti, Dubai Marina- 31/12/2009 |
CAREER suicide
a vital cog that consumed most of my 24 hours. For the 20th consequtive month, i'm currently based in dubai.
since last january i have been kick-out from the comfy of office spaceship into the hazardous environment of construction site battlefield.
working long hours, 6-days a week, and currently 7-days a week the toughest year yet, profession-wise
(the above might be an attempt to explain why this blog, which i started in 2007, is less frequently updated now...haha)interest: MOVIE - top 3 of 2009
plot:Iraq. Forced to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in the chaos of
war, an elite Army bomb squad unit must come together in a city where
everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb
an edge of the seat stuff from the word go. Gut-wrenching, pulse-pounding, tension, just mere understatement description of the movie.
All aspects of film-making are top-notch, from the brilliantly
subversive screenplay through vivid cinematography, masterful directing
and perfectly paced editing, even the famed film critic Mr Roger Ebert listing it as #2 in his top 10 movie of the decade. go watch it
No 2: 500 Days of Summer
as the narrator put it: 'u should know upfront that this is not a love story'
the pair of Joseph Gordon-Levitt (as Tom) and Zooey Cutesy-Deshanel (as Summer) were in top form.
i just wonder weather there would be '500 days of Autumn' after Tom bumped into Minka Kelly (the hottie from Friday Nite Lights) in the end
btw this film talk about architecture and The Smits a lot...thats quality!
checkout, first the 'Ikea' scene, and then the bank dance(!). Definitely indie flick of the year
No 1: Inglourious Basterds
everybody is looking for Quentin Tarantino or Brad Pitt goods, but in the end Christoph Waltz aka Colonel Hans 'Jew Hunter' Landa came out with guns blazing.
I wrote about this flick here so i will rest my case
An epic masterpiece, a head above the rest of 2009 release

| with jon jamel at AC Milan Training Camp, Dubai January 2009 |
like most hot blooded male on the universe i am into soccer, F1, NBA etc, and yes...i read from the back pages to front everytime i grab a newspaper.
and last january was a particular highlight for me since a team from the Italian Lombardy province, a team that i supported since hi-skool, the only team that i am willing to die for, came down to Sheikh-land for their winter training and a friendly match. Oh, btw the team name is AC Milan.
season 08/09 ended with Milan winning nothing (3rd in Serie A). Paolo retires after 20 years serving the club. Kaka became the second most expansive player in history when he was sold to Real Madrid. Allanatore Carlo Ancellotti has moved on to EPL, currently Chelsea boss.

of older favorites this year. I listened to a lot of new stuff. I used to spent a fortune on imported CDs, but like any joe on the planet downloading now is like brushin your teeth.
I hope everyone out there loves music too. Loves it so much it transcends petty bickering and posturing.
Loves it in a way that makes you want to make the world look like all
your favorite songs make it look. And I hope that everyone loves it so much that you
don't take yourselves too seriously.
and this shitty blog talks lotsa crappy music that makes u wanna throw up n wonder whether this guy got any other subject to write about rite? haha
