24 and LOST season finally over

I will break this down into the 24 and LOST ending finale

24

Jack has finally captured the chinese leader and killed his father and destroyed the russian defense chip, but Jack has decided not to return to CTU in the meantime, his nephew is ok, but aubrey is still in bad condition, so looks like the 24 producers left us with an empty ending again :(, but hey at least Jack is still alive and kicking some major terrorist ***, so yea 24 ended pretty well, and im looking forward to next season ^_^

LOST

Now this is one of the most mind blowing episodes ive ever watched, first of all Gretta and Bonnie, those 2 girls in the underwater station were hot :D, and there are a lot of questions on the episode and it also felt like an empty ending.

- What did Ben mean that Naomi wasnt what she was?, Why did Locke kill Naomi?, maybe something that Jacob told him about?

- Why did Jack want to go back to the island?, Who was at the funeral?, why didnt nobody come to the Funeral?

- Why ddnt they show the rescue?, its very puzzling why they ddnt show the rescue considering that Naomi is now a mysterious character in the series

- What did Ben mean that history was gonna repeat itself?, maybe Jack will come back to the island and join the others? Maybe Ben was good afterall?

- Why did penny appear on that incoming transmission, very odd

- And whats with the flashback of Jack?, with the producers giving it away with Jack using a krzr LOL

But anyway, the episode was the ish!, and def wants me to watch the next season, too bad Gretta and Bonnie died :(

Happy Bday to me :D

Watched Shrek 3 Today!

Aight folks I just watched Shrek 3 and it was pretty hilarious i say the comedy wasnt continuous but it come at appropriate times and the movie is definitely recommended by me, though no commercial copies this time, this time its original with more fairytale characters involved!, Id have to say at donkey and puss and boots were more fun to watch on this movie, but overall its a 2 thumbs up ^_^

LOST and 24 Finales Next Week!

It's that time of the year, but 2 of my most favorites shows, 24 and LOST are going to end next week, and it sucks, but heck im sure as excited as to what they have saved for the last episode, what will happen at the end of 24?, will the US recover the chip from Jack's father and save a world war with the Russians?, Will the lost folks ever get off the island?, lots of interesting details that will be answered next week!, So stay tuned to see what answers lie ahead to our theories, next week will definitely be a blast, and well see who had correct theories or not, esp when it comes to LOST ^^.

So let's see, im curious what will happen in the underwater station, esp the radiotower,

who will die when the others attack the camp?, who TF is Jacob?,
What will happen to Locke?,
who will die at the last episode?,

i guess these are a lot of questions that will be answered on the last episode and itll def be a blast, as for 24

will the US avoid a war with Russia?
will the chinese smuggle the chip?
will Jack's father ever be caught?

So next week, better have lotsa popcorn for the episode

24 airs at 9PM ET

LG CYON Shine Commercial & my Ex

I saw a LG CYON shine commercial featuring Kim Tae Hee advertising the latest shine from LG, background is love love love by Epik High.

I really loved the song, it somehow reminded me of my ex gf, she was like that girl, and somehow the song struck me on the spot esp with the lyrics, i guess ill pop her a message sometime and see whats going on with her now. She was like the girl in the song and in the video, kept loving me, even though i hurt her, and i dont know how much she loves me but oh well it should serve to me as a lesson on dealing with relationships from now on

heres the video

After weeks of digging on ebay and online price comparisons, ive been through a lot of stuff just to get a decent DSLR for me, ive looked into the olympus E-500, Canon 350D, Nikon D50 over and over and was torn between nikon and canon, then finally i scored a sexy black 350D on ebay ^_^, boy oh boy was i happy, got it for very cheap with a 2G CF card too, i cant complain about the price, immediately bought it on ebay since its gnna be gone in a few min, came after i decided to do a search, my prices were around 500, but this baby was less than 450 couldnt resist the mad price, i bought it, here it is. The 350D is a 8MP prosumer DSLR from Canon currently the #1 camera on flickr and takes some very awesome pics even at high ISO's, so ill look forward to it, oh wait, i forgot to add it does have the kit lens ^_^, cant wait for it next tuesday, its shipping 2 day UPS.
