The Disney stuff kinda stand out to me mostly because, not only were they plainly fun to watch, but for kids' shows they were really well-rounded and the stories were (relatively) well-told. I mean, I'd really feel sad during sad parts, and I'd really get excited during action scenes. The conflicts were much more compelling than in.. Thundercats!

Gummi Bears

Duck Tales --- "Duck Tales! oooOOOooo!" Gizmo Duck FTW! "Blathering Blatherskite!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Sb0hGUNIQ

Darkwing Duck Intro --- "Let's get dangerous!" I also liked how Launch Pad (and, occasionally, Gizmo Duck) crossed over from Duck Tales!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czCqMWRFVg4

Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers Intro --- "Ch-ch-ch-Chip N Dale! Rescue Rangers.." I was most affected by this show's dramatic moments, where one of the characters would go off on his own..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e5q6ubDlZE

Tale Spin --- did someone just fire a GUN?! in a Disney cartoon?!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIl5YwcO72g

The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh --- Just the most adorable theme song evar!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHcOPcM0hJU

Man, I hate the crappy new Mickey Mouse cartoons in Disney Channel (House of Mouse?! WTH)..

---

Top Cat credits --- My favorite among the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons! The theme and the stories were pretty much grown-up..

• http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=070707 -- I've forgotten about sharing this last month: Here's what Brian Clevinger's says about the new Transformers movie:
  

  So the new Transformers movie is better than it had any reason to be. Sure, there were plot holes big enough for Optimus to drive through, but when your premise begins with the phrase, "There's an interplanetary civil war between an alien race of super robots," you kind of go with it.
  
  My one complaint is that the movie lacked the phrase "Decepticreeps." And, similarly, though Ironside stole every scene where he spoke, the noted absense of his rallying cry -- "...bust some Deceptichops" -- did not go unnoticed. But, hey, that's why they make sequels.

Recap == Recapitulate

Yeah.

November through January were extremely busy months at work. Hardly had anything done on the side. A few things that I can recall (yes, yes, my memory sucks..):

Christmas stuff

My next eldest brother got us a DVD of the first season of The Medium. I wasn't able to watch all the episodes, but from what I could gather, it was interesting. Psychic District Attorney's consultant is a bit, uhh, un-original, but it isn't always about the originality. :D

Of course, who could forget about the gifts! This is the first, real gift-giving Christmas for me! I actually went Christmas shopping (with Kei, of course :D)! I only got a few gifts, but I didn't mind. I didn't even expect most of them, and most, I really wanted to have. :) I got a new polo from Kei, which I really liked, because it was 5w337. :D I got a coin purse from Fred, and I've been planning to buy one for a couple of months before then. :) I got a pillow from my boss, which I'm conveniently using here at work (Ma even made a pillow case for it! :D). I got a pair or jeans from *gasp* Kei's mom (who was still working in Hong Kong)! Who could ever expect that! And we haven't even met in person! It was a very good fit, and I'm actually wearing it right now. :D I got a violet shirt from my sister. Bleh.

Reunions!

College buddies' reunion with Doc Muriel, our benefactor during our early college years (before *ehem* I blew it.. :p) I was really glad to see the guys again, though I didn't expect the headcount to be that low. Met and ate at Tang City at Glorietta, and later we moved to the lobby lounge of Shangri-La, where Doc was staying. We met his wife there, and some diplomat, whose nationality I can't remember right now. DotA with Aidz, Po, Chico, Jonas and Leks afterwards. :D I don't want to admit it, but Po was REALLY good. :p

End of January, Frank and Ria got married! :D It was a very nice wedding, very simple and solemn, it didn't look flashy -- and everyone else wore a barong. I didn't being underdressed, though. I was too uncomfortable, because I wasn't used to being with some of those in the crowd. Good thing that Cel came. :) Went home earlier than the others, with Cel and Jem. Jon dropped us off somewhere along EDSA, and from there, Cel went his own way to *ehem* work, while Jem and I got on a bus to Alabang, to go home. Coolness. :)

Badminton Saturday!

Inee and Kaye organized a badminton session for the first Saturday of February. The meeting place was *chuckle* our place. :) Inee came first (and on time!) at 10am. :) Kaye was next, then Ryan, then Fred, Herlin and Tina, and, last (but the best on my list! :D) came Kei. :) We played at Smash Box, just by the entrance to Marymount Subdivision. Physical exertion, yeah! I really miss sports. :) Afterwards, we had lunch at Big Dad's at the LB Square, home of the best sisig I ever had! :D We stuffed ourselves silly, and when we got the bill, we were surprised that it was only P500+! For the quantity and quality of the food, it would have cost us twice or maybe thrice in Makati. :D

That's all for now, since I still have the drive to work. :p
