Facebook Eyeball vs Con-Ass
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On July 13, 2009
I attended the 1st Facebook Eyeball versus Con-Ass last June 6, 2009. This was brought about when the House of Representatives happened to pass the Con-Ass resolution # 1109.
The main purpose of the event is to raise awareness by using internet media like facebook & blogging. The weather was pretty bad that day but it was still well-attended. Paranaque Congressman Roilo Golez was the special speaker in this eyeball. He narrated to us what happened that night, we asked some questions and the discussions went on with the attendees.
The event was also covered by TV media like ABS-CBN, GMA & TV5.
Basically, Resolution # 1109 aims to amend/revise the constitution. A lot of people are against this as election is upcoming and there is a big chance that the government might use this to their advantage. We still want to have elections to go through next year right?
After the discussions, we were asked to sign on the freedom wall. Just a message that we want to share with the congressmen who voted for the resolution.
1st Annual Dodgeball Tournament at Club 650 Libis
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On July 13, 2009
The 1st ever annual dodgeball tournament organized by Playboy Philippines happened last May 30, 2009 for the benefit of Gives Back Foundation.
This tournament aims to raise at least Php200,000 for the chemotherapy of 9 cancer patients at the Veterans Hospital in Q.C.
There were a total of 8 teams who joined the tournament coming from various sectors like celebrities, media, bloggers, sponsors, etc.
I was part of one of the blogger teams called Blogballers. Though we didn’t make it to the semifinals, we all had fun! I myself is thrilled as it was the 1st time that I played the game and learned & practiced the game all in 1 day 
Team Blogballers
Team Digital Manila
The Philippine Dodgeball Association was there to help teach the players how to properly play dodgeball. The objective of the game is mainly to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with balls. Players (4-10 players on each team) will need to throw the ball to hit a member of the opposing team. Once a player is hit, they get eliminated BUT once an opposing member catch a thrown ball, they will be brought back to the game again. So this ends as soon as 1 team has noone left in the playing court.
Thanks to the sponsors for making this happen. Sponsors include 100 Plus, Lozatech, Capsulac, Potato Chips, etc.
Lozatech Team emerged as champions in this tournament. Congratulations to them! Their strategy and energy to play is really outstanding!

How can a Playboy-organized tournament be complete without the playboy bunnies??

Terminator Salvation Movie Review
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On July 13, 2009
Thanks to Columbia Pictures & TV5 for the opportunity to watch this. I liked this movie a lot mostly because of Sam Worthington who played Marcus Wright in this Terminator Franchise. He just looked so tough and his heart of gold is pretty obvious in this movie, he really portrayed his role excellently. I can feel his character
The movie started with Dr. Kogan (Helena Bonham Carter’s character) convincing Marcus to sign his body over a medical research. Marcus is set to undergo lethal injection that day.
Terminator is basically a movie about a war between human & machines. John Connor (Christian Bale’s Character) is fated to lead the resistance against Skynet & terminators. John sends radio broadcasts to surviving resistance members & civilians around the world. This was being listened by Kyle Reese who’s with Marcus who he rescued from a terminator. Unfortunately, Kyle was held prisoner by the machines while they were on their way to John’s Base. Marcus arrived at John’s base wounded & resistance fighters discovered that he is a cyborg with human heart thus distrusting him. Marcus convinced John that he is human & would only want to save Kyle. The 2 formed an alliance and they were able to save Kyle & the other prisoners, winning the battle. 
I loved this movie that much that I ended up watching it twice. 1st was the blogger premiere and the other was with a friend. There was one scene that I find so funny! When Arnold Schwarzeneger went out as a T-800 model 101 terminator ahahhahaa 
I was just laughing so hard, just made it a genuine terminator movie
My Rating for Terminator Salvation: 4 out of 5 stars.

Night at the Museum – Battle of the Smithsonian
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On July 12, 2009
Thanks to SM for letting us watch this movie for free during the Sky Garden Launch at SM City North Edsa.
This is a sequel to Night at the Museum (2006). Ben Stiller reprises his role as Larry Daley. In this movie, he was shown to have left his previous job as a night guard to the American Museum of Natural History and moved on as the head of Daley Devices. Daley Devices is a company he founded where he manufactures his inventions like the Glow-in-the-Dark Flashlight (actually after I saw the demo in the movie, I really would like to have one!!!).
Anyway, Larry visits the museum to check on his friends and apparently learned that the museum is closed for renovation. He also learned that some of his museum exhibit friends will be moved to the Federal Archives at the Smithsonian Institution and some including the tablet will be left at the museum. Since the tablet is responsible for putting back into life to his friends, he would need to do something.. that’s where the story revolved [Him trying to save his friends, retrieving the tablet, meeting Amelia Earheart (Amy Adams’ character), etc…]
The movie is entertaining, funny & cute! I’m sure people from all ages & sizes will love this.
My Rating for Night at the Museum – Battle of the Smithsonian: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
