Baby Names

In Blog, Daily Life on Monday May 22, 2006 at 7:03 am

I've been thinking of baby names lately. Just in case, you know. Plus, I want to reserve these names so that my friends won't use them (or any of the variations) anymore. These names are mine! Or rather, for my children. So my dearest soon-to-be-parent friends, if you're reading this blog entry x years (or months) after I wrote it, you'll know that I was the first to think of these names and put it in writing. So back off and think of something else! Hehe : )

If ever, I want my eldest to be a girl.
1. Antoinette Michelle (Amy)
2. Emily Margaret [or Margaux] (Emma)

For a boy.
1. Jose Christopher (JC)
2. William Andrew (Will) [updated]

Hmm. I never really thought of a name for a boy yet. Boy-names are a bit challenging because the name ought to match the personality/character of the child. Like, for some reason, a "Jonathan" sounds smart, well-versed, and manly-cute compared to a "Ramon." But maybe that's just me. Like back in gradeschool, I used to come up with future-children names based on cartoon and tv show characters because I like/crush them.

But now that things can happen so fast, I want to be prepared coz I don't want to have this Uhmm look when the doctors ask for a name.

The Da Vinci Code, Da Movie

In Blog, Culture and Society, Media and Entertainment on Monday May 22, 2006 at 6:21 am

I have every intention of watching the Da Vinci Code movie mainly because I want to see how well the book was adapted. I’ve read comments about the movie, and most of them aren’t very encouraging to say the least. Well, I’ve read enough negative reviews about the book itself since it came out years ago; thus, I feel I’ve been desensitized already. For these people. it’s either their beliefs have been rattled so much that they out-right reject the ideas (not necessarily facts) that the book presented, or they just wanted to go against what’s eating up pop-culture these days. Come on people. It’s just a book (a pretty interesting, thought-and-faith provoking book) so just relax and don’t over-react to it. Don’t be over-stressed. Enjoy the movie and make the most of your hard-earned movie-money.

Amidst the endless, already-annoying debates sprung by the Dan Brown, one thing the author definitely made me do was take a closer look at The Last Supper painting of Leonardo Da Vinci. The person opposite of Jesus on his right side does look like a woman.
