hey! i made it! finally got on the road to our very own blogger!
woohoo! 7's the number for me. and i saw the poor little uruk-hai actually jump in pain when aragorn stepped on him. kawawa naman. you know, that scene where BOROMIR VALIANTLY GIVES HIS LIFE (i have to add this in all caps naman, ian).

ian-i, that test you sent me was cool! now everyone in the office wants to take it. I'm Frodo. ANd I'm proud to be Frodo. I do believe I was a hobbit in a previous life. :)

did you notice that when the fellowship left Lorien, Sam was sitting in between Frodo and Aragorn in the boat? Well, when Aragorn taps Frodo's shoulder to explain the Argonath, Frodo is suddenly in the middle! Tadaaaaa!!!!

Updates: LOTR behind the scenes on E! sa Feb 2. EJW was on Letterman kanina but Abby missed it kasi yang bwisit na Christian Tolosa na yan, eh. ANo ba kasi ang di-nub niya na wala namang katuturan sa buhay natin?

Welcome you!!! Abbie-dude. Paano na yan, tapos na ko sa Number 9. Tama na. Ubos na pera ko, hehe.

What were your favorite scenes? I posted mine on my other blog (kasi, ang dami ko nang blog, eh), although I think mas bagay sya rito. Oh well.

I'm working on a more Tolkien-y design for our blog. Sana makasali na sina Data.

Ok, LOTR Talk:
We all know that Legolas runs out of arrows talaga. And he just recycles arrows that he's shot already. This is shown in Fellowship the book. But in the movie, if you notice -- one of the boats holds several quivers of green arrows. The ones on his back are black, I think. Basta medyo dark. But after that hullaballoo with the Uruks, (and Boromir valiantly gives his life -- i have to add this, hehe), you'll see his quiver filled with green arrows.

O malabo lang ba mata ko? Medyo subtle hint na bago na yung stash nya.

Alright. Let's get this blog rolling. I selected this template from the blogger's catalog, but will try to come up with our own design using Tolkien art and such. Probably by the week's end. Let's just try out how this works, k?

For starters, take the LOTR test! I'm Galadriel. O diba, snobbish!
