Book Review: The City of Ember
» ‎ My Final Haven

Author: Jeanne DuPrau Genre: Science Fiction / Fantasy Demographic: 9+ Even though I don’t quite fall into the appropriate age demographic for many fantasy novels that are intended for young adults readers, I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy them one bit.

United States of Obesity Map (2008)
» ‎ My Final Haven

Woot! Congratulations to Colorado (my State) for having the lowest percentage of obesity in all of the States in America, and thus becoming the leanest State comparing to the others. I can substantiate with the provided map and with CalorieLab‘s findings that a huge percentage of people in Colorado are health freaks, especially in Boulder [...]

My Weekend Pick-Ups
» ‎ My Final Haven

Another weekend, another show-off. Since my Eid sucked ass, I decided to indulge myself with some purchases (and the idea that I have a limitless credit card access), so I bought some stuff that are bound to elevate my heart from the Eid blues. I wouldn’t lie to you, that actually worked and I feel [...]

Genre: Historical Drama Starring: Kira Knightley - Ralph Fiennes - Hayley Atwell - Dominic Cooper Screenplay: Jeffrey Hatcher (based on a biography written by Amanda Foreman) Director: Saul Dibb Those who loved or hated the biographical film Marie Antoinette will certainly find a compromising ground in The Duchess.

Death Note: If Only It Happened Like That…
» ‎ My Final Haven

We would have been spared from all the drama. Although, I really love drama, and drama loves me.

Mechanical Spiders Are The Signs Of The Future
» ‎ My Final Haven

It seems that the future is, indeed, now and that the inevitable War of the Machines has come to pass. Sometime in June of this year, sixty foot arachnid appeared on a derelict building near Liverpool’s Lime Street station. The mechanical spider is the work of art collaborative La Machine, who’s previous work includes the [...]

Can You Feel The Poke Power?
» ‎ My Final Haven

I’ve been meaning in purchasing a new Nintendo DS Lite for quite some time now, and kinda ditch the old one I have that almost was running out of battery power, but I was waiting for the right “limited edition” bundle to pop up so I can grab one. Not until today when I was strolling [...]

The Best 50 Animated Movies Ever
» ‎ My Final Haven

According to Rotten Tomatoes, that is. Not a terrible list, though, if I were making a list on what I thought were the best animated films of all time, I’m not sure I’d put movies like Kung Fu Panda, Corpse Bride, or Antz on it (much as I like them, they’re not really “classics”). But, [...]

Review: Vicky Cristina Barcelona
» ‎ My Final Haven

Genre: Romantic Comedy / Independent Starring: Javier Bardem - Scarlett Johansson - Rebecca Hall - Penelope Cruz Screenplay: Woody Allen Director: Woody Allen After the recent slew of almost-disappointing movies from the acclaimed writer/director Woody Allen (i.e. Cassandra’s Dreams, Scoop), I almost lost faith in his films, and started reminiscing the great times I had with [...]

Achievement Unlocked: Buy More Xbox360 Games
» ‎ My Final Haven

So, it’s been like more than 3 weeks since I got me an Xbox360 and so far I’ve been playing it like a madman. Almost, every free time I have after finishing school and doing homework, I find myself turning on the system and just playing like no tomorrow. I’ve already seen BioShock to completion; with [...]

Are You Registered To Vote?
» ‎ My Final Haven

While walking around campus this week… Person A: Are you registered to vote? Me: No, but I wish I could. I’m not a citizen. ************ Person B: Hey, you look all liberally and open-minded? Are you voting for Obama? Me: Oh, I would love to, but I’m not a citizen. Boohoo ************ Person C: Hey, you look like a McCain-Palin guy! Are [...]

» ‎ My Final Haven

Genre: Drama/ Foreign (French) Starring: Mathieu Amalric - Emmanuelle Seigner - Marie-Josée Croze - Max Von Sydow Screenplay: Ronald Harwood (based on Jean-Dominique Bauby novel) Directed: Julian Schnabel There are numerous movies and films that speak the truth about the man’s testament and ever lasting courageousness, yet few can truly resonate those complex emotions with the [...]

The Bitch Has Done It!
» ‎ My Final Haven

I was just about to go though my Edge magazine that I arrived in my mailbox early that day. I just came from school and decided to feed my affection for videogame journalism by reading several articles that were written in the magazine when my cell phone rang its familiar Zelda ringtone. For the sake [...]

Review: Braid
» ‎ My Final Haven

Platform: Xbox360 (via Xbox Live Arcade) Genre: Puzzle / 2D-Advanture Rating: Everyone (10+) If you take it purely as entertainment, Braid is nearly flawless. Taken it as an artistic work, it’s like an ambitious film that just overreaches its limits, flawed in an interesting and compelling way. As a whole, it is gripping and original far [...]

The Hell Has Frozen: I Got An Xbox360
» ‎ My Final Haven

If you ever told me that I’m going to buy an Xbox360 a year ago, I’d have laughed at you while bitch slapping you silly, and even deleted you from my gaming circa for not realizing my tastes in videogames. Now calm down, I’m not saying the Xbox360 is a bad console, not at all. [...]

Late To The Party: Happy Ramadan
» ‎ My Final Haven

It’s always interesting, experiencing Ramadan in the States. For the past years, I’ve always bitched and moaned on how miserable it is to spend Ramadan away from the family, and away from the homemade Ramadan food you always get to have in your household. But to be honest, spending Ramadan either alone or occasionally with [...]

The iTunes Shuffle Tag
» ‎ My Final Haven

Tagged by Vixen I consider blog tags as one of the best and worst inventions in the blogosphere ever created. If you are lucky, you might get a tag that shows off your coolness to the world, and if you are jinxed like me, you get a tag that can completely devastate your entire readership in [...]

Inside America
» ‎ My Final Haven

I feel like a broken record by now but again, pardon the brief absence. Last week, I traveled back to the States for college, and from the moment I landed, things got crazier by the minute. I’m not going to divulge much further than this but to sum things up, all I’ve got to say: [...]

My Top 10 Free iPod Touch/iPhone Applications (So Far)
» ‎ My Final Haven

Are you a cheap bastard? Of course you are. I mean my God look at you: the clothes that you got from Ross two years ago are practically worn out and dire from the constant washing with cheap laundry detergent, your hair is god-damn awful from that hair gel you got from a Canadian store [...]

Book Review: My Name Is Red
» ‎ My Final Haven

It’s so unfortunate that your average Arab has based his facts and intuitions about Turkey through a portal of a TV show, that even though it captivated the hearts of many people, it also agitated many to the extent it won several fatwas from several Saudi and Gulf clerics, condemning the show upon the level [...]

Which Woman Has The Perfect Body?
» ‎ My Final Haven

This post might be a little NSFW due to the images attached, so be cautious. The British website Fabulous Mag has conducted a survey asking the visitors of their website (men and women) about their most ideal body type for a woman, and the results came quite shocking. It seems men and women have very different [...]

Oh My Dear Sweet Charlotte!
» ‎ My Final Haven

Over the last year, I’ve been constantly teased by the evil Sushi, exposing several photos of Paul’s famous strawberry cake named Charlotte in her blog, while secretly smirking in her heart and most certainly declaring “Wahahaha! Feel the pain and suffer! You impudent sugar-deprived imbeciles!” Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit but you get the [...]
