updated: Ayala Cinemas: Sure seat

It's been a long time since I last made an entry and I must say that I had become a little bit unfamiliar with blogging already. Thanks to the blocked internet access during work (sarcastic tone).

Anyway, along with the unfamiliarity of the blog which I almost forgot, I had the chance just today to make an online transaction, ticket purchase and seat reservation, to watch a movie at Abreeza Cinema. And because of the easy transaction that we did 10 minutes ago, we're going to watch Ice Age 4 today at 2:45 PM.

To do an online purchase, you can simply go to Sureseats webpage, register/login into your account, choose which cinema and do a purchase. Once you have done that, you can print your ticket, present it to the cinema and watch the show.

However, if you don't have a printer nearby, you can simply take a photo of the ticket by using your cellphone or camera and present it to the ticket counter. Make sure that the photo is clear and the characters are readable. My uncle has done this before and it's valid even without the hard copy of the ticket.

Aside from that, Sureseats has made their website cool so that you can add friends and make a status.

So if you're thinking of all the hassles when you buy a ticket where blockbuster movies are being shown, just remember that you can stay away from long queues by doing a purchase online.

By the way, here is a photo of the online confirmation after buying a movie ticket. This is also the photo that I presented to the ticket collector before entering the cinema.

The Hunger Games

Yes, I had already read the Hunger Games trilogy (thanks to my college friend Herbert Bergancia) and I'm so looking forward to this. I hope the directors had not ruined a good book.

Here's the official trailer of The Hunger Games which was released on August, 2011.

Pottermore Revealed

Finally, JK Rowling revealed what's in Potter more.

Watch this video.

Here's the press conference video of the mysterious Pottermore.

I'm pretty excited for the website to launch on the 31st of October. I sure hope I can catch the early glimpse of Pottermore on the 31st of July.

Pottermore or More Potter - the big reveal

The big reveal is going to take place today. Can't wait.

For more information on JK Rowling's Pottermore revelation, go to http://pottermore.com.

In the meantime, I'm starting to read Harry Potter 6: The Half Blood Prince. I was really sad when Sirius Black died on Book 5. Sometimes, Potter can be so stubborn that everything he does is at the expense of his friends. 

Anyway, I certainly hope I'll be able to read the whole of Book 7 before the 2nd half of the Deathly Hollows movie comes out. 

(updated) Waiting in Vain

I'm impatiently waiting for these movies to come out.

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

Captain America: The First Avenger

Harry Potter 7: The Deathly Hollows (Finale)

The Smurfs

Real Steel

Happy Feet 2

Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip Wrecked

Arthur Christmas

Pottermore or More Potter?

JK Rowling, the author of the famous Harry Potter series, has just setup a mysterious website.

Surfers of pottermore are greeted with two owls. A click on the owl will redirect you to a youtube site with the message "The owls are gathering... Find out why soon".

The famous author spokesperson, Rebecca Salt said: ""There is a holding page up at the moment. It is a new project and not a new book and it's not directly related to the film. We are not saying anything more at the moment."


A member of the fan site, www.the-leaky-cauldron.org, claimed to have seen what the mystery was all about and said that it was "breathtaking".


Clues were given out at different fan sites,  coordinates, which you have to enter and find them at this site, http://www.secretstreetview.com/. Please take note that these letters are magic and doesn't exist in the real world. (If you're having trouble finding the clue, just zoom in the map.)


Other sites with clues are as follows: Muggle Net, Harry Potter Xperts, Hpana, Blog Hogwarts, Snitch Seeker, Port Key, 'L Univers De Harry Potter, and of course, The Leaky Cauldron.


So far, the letters that was revealed from the coordinates are as follows: T E O R P E T R O. hmm, I wonder what it means. 


In the meantime, here's an official trailer of the 2nd and last half of the Deathly Hallows.
