I Am Spartacus!

The "Spartacus" series is done. No more.

The final episode "Victory" is a well fitting end to one awesome series. The episode is so good it can almost stand on its own.

The creators decided not to bend history all that much. I thought with the episode being titled "Victory" that they will have Spartacus triumph over Crassus. It was not the case.

The end credits roll was also a roll call of the actors and actresses that have played a character on the show. I had a lump in my throat when Andy Whitfield sprang on screen shouting "I Am Spartacus!".

This year it's...

Every year you have to have a favorite contestant whenever you watch American Idol. With no clear cut alternative and rocker contestant like David Cook, Kris Allen, or Phillip Phillips this year. I gravitated towards Burnell Taylor after hearing his rendition of John Legend's "This Time". Love the voice, the quirks when he sings. This kid is just awesome for me!

Like a drum my heart never stops beating...for youuuuu (Part 2)

Phillip Phillips' new music video for "Gone, Gone, Gone" is out. Love this song. Love Phil as you know. I have written about him before here.

Enjoy the video...I know I did!

This Is Number 4

Chuck Taylor number four is here. I got it at such a bargain thanks to my friend Atong Sy, who has a friend working at Filcon Manufacturing.

Tattoo numero tres!

Third tatt. Daredevil emblem, around it is the ambigram of Daredevil and my last name, Ronquillo.

Tattooed over a keloidal scar. It was painful as fuck, but I would say way worth the pain.

The Search is Over!

'Tis finally complete!

My Daredevil vol 3 #1 is finally complete. I have all the covers! Thanks to Sandy of Comic Odyssey, I have all six of them.

The Neal Adams variant was quite a challenge to get a hold of, but Sandy found one for me. It was a damage of 3,500Php, but worth every cent.

Now all I need to worry about is completing the whole volume 3 run so far. Challenge accepted!

Fatso, I'm gonna break-up with you!

I want to get healthy.

I want to be fit.

Before 2013, I said I was going to post a picture of myself every month and track the progress of this "yearly" resolution that don't seem to happen.

I have been pondering whether or not post a picture of how my body looks right now. It's already the fifth, but alas! Here is it.

Here's hoping that the pic I will put up on February will be different from this one.

Wish me luck! (As I make it.)

The Day After Never

I haven't ran out of TV shows to watch, so God only knows why I watched two pilots today. Both medical procedural, but different formats. One is a half-hour comedy, the other a one-hour drama. Both are good, but I like one better than the other. Unfortunately for me, it's the one that has been canceled already so I only have about thirteen episodes to enjoy.

The Mindy Project is a half-hour comedy that follows the romcom obsess OB/GYN Mindy Lahiri. The pilot was good enough to warrant more viewings from me. But there is a definite room for improvement with this show that needs to be occupied sooner rather than later.

The other pilot I watched was Emily Owens M.D. which surprised me a lot. I never really cared for Grey's Anatomy, so why I like this show is beyond me. I only wanted to watch it because I kinda missed the gorgeous Justin Hartley. Never thought I would actually like it. While it lacked the sort of edge Grey's Anatomy has, this show's lightheartedness was actually a big draw for me. I totally forgot that I wanted to watch it 'cause of just one actor. Simple things amuse simple minds I guess, cause hearing the line "The day after never" from a twelve-year old character after being asked when will she tell Cody, the boy she likes, that she likes him was "Eureka! I love this show." moment for me. But like I said, I only have a handful of episodes to enjoy. I guess this is not my year for TV after Partners and Last Resort being canceled as well. Regardless, I will still enjoy what I can get.
