   Dear Ms. Karla,
   I am a Japanese man who loves Sinosikat? and I reached at your blog when I was getting info about this band. This is a quite interesting blog and there are lots of info about rock bands in Philippines. I’d like to know more about rock bands because there are many good ones in Philippines. I watched the show of Bamboo by chance when I was in Cowboy Grill. And I was surprised at their performance. I did not know what to say at that time. It was, indeed, perfect for me. Though I don’t understand tagalog, it was enough to make me feel good. I play the electric guitar and love to play hard rocks of UK and USA.

   By the way, I’m also interested in taking photos in my free time. I’m looking for a bag to carry out my digital single-lens reflex camera. I wana buy one that is made for a camera. So if possible, I would like you to tell me where to buy.

   Thanks,

   Hi Karla,

   Thanks for the mini-review of this film. I’m an avid fan of Stepehn King’s stories (especially his short stories) that end up into great movies like The Shawshank Redemption (excellent film), Stand By Me, Cujo, and the likes. I like this short story in his compilation, Everything’s Evenual, along with Autopsy Room Four.

   Might as well watch this movie sometime this weekend, while it’s still showing in Singapore.

   And for others, add the numbers of 1408 and the sum describes overall the dreadfulness of the haunted hotel room.

   If it’s not yet obvious, add the numbers 1408 and you get the magic number that best describes the haunted hotel room.

   Karla!!!

   Pinanuod ko ito sa DVD. 12MN ako nagsimula. Malapit na mag-2AM, antok na antok at takot na takot na ako kaya pinatay ko na. Hahaha!

   But I have to say that this is the best horror movie I’ve seen this year.

    Being a big Stephen King fan that I am, I still haven’t seen the movie, but I heard all the buzz all around the blogworld for the past few months now.

    I saw the trailer and it may actually be a good one.. Thanks for the rating.. anyway, Stephen King is Stephen King

    I’m huge fan of Stephen King, but so far I only enjoyed in his books because the movies just couldn’t make the same level of atmosphere as his books can. But since Rose Red and now Disturbia I really look forward to next movie with his idea.

    Oops, your other post confused me. I meant 1408 there, not Disturbia.

    might be worth watching, I haven’t been impressed with his book > films offerings in the past. With a few excepetions
