Ooh! Roadtrip! Me too!

Yeah, I was rather disappointed watching the speech this morning on CNN. But then again it was early in the morning (by my Midway Island/Samoa Time standards) when things that may be meant to touch are just disgustingly tacky. Lots of eyebrow-raising and/or choking-on-breakfast moments.

Now that Alex has started the list of movies you wouldn't exactly recommend on their value but would like to mention anyway because they're set in the area you live in-- Imelda is most definitely not a movie recommendation, but hey, what movies featuring the Philippines (except Apocalypse Now and Platoon where the Philippines poses as Vietnam) actually do make it to the international audience? You want to smack her five minutes into the film, actually you've probably always wanted to smack her, but Imelda Marcos aside, it gives you a very good glimpse of how modern Philippines had been shaped.
