ONAT LOPERA

and welcome to my ostensibly-dubbed “scratch post” for my itchy shutter and typing fingers.

Fincher’s ‘Dragon Tattoo’ was OK. Changes made on story was meh. Mood & score was outstanding but this remake was completely unnecessary.

Google announced they’re going to retire notable online apps like Picnic and Urchin with 4 others. Not entirely sad though because most of the services (mention earlier) are already merged onto existing core products: Google+ and Analytics respectively.

Amazon will be launching their own search engine soon. Its web crawler is all over my site stats.

Il est seize heures. Seizure. Scissor.

My 1000th Tweet

I still remember what my first tweet was:
To twit or not to twit. *

Like I always do on almost all the online services that manages to pique my interest, I signed up on Twitter on June 2007 just to have my own “@”. Not paying that much attention to it, dubbed as a micro-blogging site, I did my usual thing on my blog. And the constraint of 140 characters did put me off of it.

Fast forward a year and a half, my second tweet was:
Well, it took me about a year to answer my first twit, and it’s “to twit”. *

I haven’t stopped since and with no plans of stopping anytime soon.

As for the 1k milestone, nothing special but just pure narcissism:
Hello internet! I’m @onat. Movie lover, tech news fiend, lucid dreamer who blogs at ONATLOPERA(dot)com & this is my 1000th tweet. #milestone *

Yep, it’s awesome. Follow me @onat.

To all the kids who watched X-Men every Friday on ABS, I just found out that Ororo Munroe aka Storm is now part of the Avengers.

‘Babae sa Septic Tank’ didn’t make it to Oscar’s Foreign Language movies shortlist. #sayang

Watched pilot of #Alcatraz It’s pretty good. Lost, Fringe, The Event & The 4400 all rolled into one. Abrams/Giacchino team is just awesome.

There goes Reddit.
