The Superior Spider-Man!

MEGA MEGA SPOILERS UP AHEAD! Proceed if you already know what happened when Amazing Spider-Man (comic) ended, or if you just don't mind spoilers.

Peter Parker's time as Spider-Man has ended. Yeahp, you heard right. Peter Parker is Spider-Man no more.

Pete was finally outsmarted by one of his oldest enemies, Otto Octavius (aka Doc Ock). In a last ditch effort to save his own life, Otto mind swapped with Peter Parker. Peter's mind dies while in Otto's body, while Otto is reborn in Pete's.

I know, I know. It's a pretty controversial move by Marvel. But as much controversy as it's garnered, Otto, arguably, IS a superior Spider-Man!

How so? Well here are 5 reasons why Otto Octavius is a better Spider-Man than Peter Parker:

Adventure Hijinks: Climbing a Mountain

Finally! After years of saying "Gusto ko din matry umakyat ng bundok.", I finally did it! My very first climb!!!

Cray cray!

I went up Mt. Maculot. I was expecting an easy hike. Kept thinking, "how hard could it be? It's just basically walking." A long walk through the woods, a few rocks here and there, and most challenging part being the uphill with a heavy bag behind my back. 

I GROSSLY underestimated things. And as we later found out, Mt. Maculot is apparently the HARDEST CLIMB* (*for beginners) in the Philippines!

Bett and I spent an afternoon at H. Bar Body Lounge Spa. H.Bar offers an assortment of body scrubs and massages with various, self produced, organic scents. Thought we’d get a pampering after my painful climb of Mt. Maculot the day before, and Bett’s active weekend at Laguna.

And MAN DID WE GET PAMPERED!

That was the most fun I've ever had in a "restaurant"! (If that's what you want to call it.)

Movie Stars Cafe (MSC) is a resto-museum with a Cosplayer attitude and some Disneyland flare.

Let me elaborate. 

We Miss You, Peter!

I usually read and review trade paper backs instead of single issues for a number of reasons - mainly because single issues usually lack a complete story and depth. But I made an exception for this one - The 200th issue of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man.

This was probably the most emotional single issue comic I’ve ever read.

Video of the Week #5

singers

It is celebrity singing day!

For some reason, in this one week, I came across three videos featuring celebrities singing. These are off-show singing. Mostly unrehearsed. Which just makes it more fun to watch!

Opa! Greeka Kouzina!

My first official blogger event :) Woohoo!!

Bett was invited to a bloggers’ lunch at Greeka Kouzina, and then she, in turn, invited me. It was my first time being around other (seasoned) bloggers. I felt I didn’t belong. Heck, I wasn’t even really supposed to be there. The whole time, I was worried my work wouldn't even compare to what the others there could make.
