Why The “Curious” Case of Benjamin Button?

Posted: January 10th, 2009 | Author: Ben | Filed under: Movies | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

First of all The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is such a beautiful movie.  The Set. The Story. The Characters.  The actors, particularly, Brad Pitt. He’s beautiful in this movie – the way he looks and his superb acting.

Watched the movie last night at Glorietta 4 with my girlfriend, Picci.

But ever wondered why the title used “curious” to describe the case of Benjamin Button? Why not use “weird” or some other adjective?

So I checked the dictionary and found out that the word “curious” has 3 meanings:

  1. a archaic : made carefully b obsolete : abstruse carchaic : precisely accurate
  2. a: marked by desire to investigate and learn b: marked by inquisitive interest in others’ concerns : nosy
  3. : exciting attention as strange, novel, or unexpected : odd <a curious coincidence>

I only knew of the 2nd meaning until i checked recently.  Obviously the movie title intented to use the 3rd meaning. The Strange / Unexpected / Odd Case of Benjamin Button.


Bora Trip 2008 (May 31): Pizza at Aria

Posted: January 7th, 2009 | Author: Ben | Filed under: Food, Travel | Tags: , , , , | 1 Comment »

I’ve been wanting to eat at this place since I got to the island.

We ordered pasta. It was good but I wasn’t quite happy with it.

I will recommend however their pizza. We tried their Quattro Stagioni. In Italian, it means “the four seasons pizza.” The pizza has 4 flavors… Aria (smoked ham), olives, seafood, and mushrooms.

Establishment: Aria
What to order: Pizza. I recommend Quattro Stagioni.
Location: D’Mall, Station 2


Let’s all have a…
