around and around.

Wanted and Damn.

I swear... WANTED was Ah-mazing! The best summer flick ever!

Cool effects. Cool gore. Cool. Cool. Makes you wish it was true.

James McAvoy was amazing. Hehe. Galeeeng.

Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman were amazing too... but hell, all their roles are always like that. Think Mr & Mrs. Smith and Tomb Raider, and the Almighty movies.

(As a side note, I never ever thought Jolie to be hot. As in never. Not in any of her movies. I don't get why people think she is so when there are other actresses out there. Now in this movie, she was only hot in one scene: her when she was on the floor dead. lol. something about the white shirt and the flowing brown hair at that exact moment. lol.)

This would be my most fave summer flick so far.
1. Wanted.
2. Speed Racer.
3. The Happening.
4. 21.

Gahd. I keep missing my chance. But I NEED to do it soon.

2 araw na lang!

anniversary! w00t.

HAPPY 500th!

This is my 500th blog entry since my first blog entry on November 3, 2005! (almost 3 years. lol.)

But no, you won't find that entry here on multiply. It's on my old blogspot blog.
http://dewerants.blogspot.com/2005/11/numero-uno.html
Sorry, you can't access that. I closed that blog for only me--and a friend--to see it. (for archiving.)

When did I start blogging? 2003. On my Friendster account.
I moved to Blogger since it had more html capabilities. That account was started July 2005, but I only started blogging on it November that year. (Both accounts are still running, but not available for public viewing.) And it had been my main blog for quite a few years.

I also have/had other blogs: LiveJournal, Blog, and some other site I can't remember.

Then, I moved my blog to multiply last Dec 7, 2007. (I've had this Multiply account since September 2005... that's years before the multiply fever. lol. When the fever did start, I only posted photos. Hehe.)
http://dewe52.multiply.com/journal/item/136/six_degrees_of_kevin_bacon
This should be my 208th multiply blog. Hehe.

History. La lang.

Why do I blog? Because I'm not the verbal person. Although I enjoy expressing myself a lot, I never really get to say it out loud, especially with people I'm not tight-tight with. Why? It relieves stress. A good blog, for me, is a really good remedy for releasing any problems, stress, disappointments, etc. Why? Because it's a way to "spread the fun." Why? Because i've gotten used to it already. Why? I can't live without it.
There are tons of reasons. Let's just say this: I Love Blogging. Hehe.

So yes. Happy anniversary to me. Lol

walang taytel.

Signs

Gahd. Why do I think everything is a sign? As in... everything. Gahd.

Is this a sign? goddamnit. caramba!

Okay. compose yourself, luis! damnit.

There's only us.
There's only this.
Forget regret or life is yours to miss.

No other road.
No other way.
No day but today.

if i win the lottery, you will never see me again.

The Hulk and My New Nikes.

Okay. So I just watched the beginning of Deal or No Deal: ARound the World Philippines Edition. Hehe. I'm glad they enjoyed. Lol.

Back to my real blog: last night I watched The Incredible Hulk. I didn't like it as much. (I trusted Roger Ebert, which is why my expectations weren't high.) The reason I chose to watch it over Get Smart was because (1) I didn't wan'na watch comedy and (2) I love Edward Norton and Liv Tyler.

And I was right. The movie wasn't as nice. But Edward Norton and Liv Tyler were amazing! lol.

Anyhow, I got myself a new pair of shoes! Yehay! I'm so happy. I can finally retire my old rubber shoes. I just noticed: I really like Nike Airs. This new one is Air Prestige. The old one was Air Max. The one before that was Air Max Solas. Lol. The other thing: all 3 are part green. Lol. (I plan to take my old green shoelaces and put them on my new one. lol.)

I hope this isn't my birthday present. I still want my CDs... and an iPod.

In other news, I'm about to do it.

Oh God, help me. We all know it.

don't you just hate that bioflu commercial?

do trees hear love?

The Happening

Instead of watching Kung Fu Panda and The Hulk as most people would have done, I watched The Happening. I've been anticipating on this since I first saw the trailer because I've always been attracted by these end of the world films. lol.

What I can say is wow. Wow. Wow.

I dunno what kind of genre it's classified under. It's not horror... nothing to give you nightmares. It's not really suspense because it's not suspenseful... it's frightening. So maybe it's under apocalyptic-thriller whatever? (who cares anyway?)

Before I begin on my actual thoughts, let me tell you why I regretted watching the film: none of the people whom I watched it enjoyed it... I think. The worst victim was Trisha: she was crying on the car ride home, she fears Mrs. Jones will come in and break the window, she fears construction workers will fall from the house under construction beside her bedroom window, she's afraid to go jogging since it's windy in Ayala. Gahd.

In other words, I loved it. LOL!

It's a really, really great movie. I don't find it scary or haunting. It's not even that gross... well maybe it is but not as disgusting as your typical gore movies.

It's very realistic. It's very... I can't find the right words at the moment.

And you know what. It could be true. That's why we must take care of the environment. Malay mo, bukas aatakihin ka na ng mga...

Great movie! But if you feel you're too sensitive, don't enter the cinema.

paws.

Teachers and Elections

Friday the 13th. (The Happening is showing na!) Usually, my friends and I would keep count if this one was bad luck or good luck--'coz they alternate every year. I guess, we've been so busy, we've forgotten.

I have bad feelings about some teachers. (I have the weirdest feeling I'll be sleeping in the same classes.)

I'm quite excited to see what would happen for World His class. M. Lapena seems... unpredictable. He sort of reminds me of Mr Marana. In the sense that... I dunno. But he does. So much, that I have this mindset that I can't speak Filipino in front of him since he wouldn't understand much, but he does.... I think.
Oh... and he speaks Spanish. On the first day, we're like woah.. Spanish prayer! (quite a coincidence. just a day before school, I was asking yahoo answers about some spanish words.)

Mr Acosta might make another Alano class, which I fear so much. Just this morning... nevermind.

Zhou Laoshi seems really nice. She also doesn't speak much English, but I hope I understand her more than Li Laoshi.
How do you quit advanced Chinese without failing the requirements?

Ms Magallona seems interesting too. But not much presumptions here... she isn't a new face. I mean, she taught C last year. (I wish I had Mr.A. Lol.--how funny. Ms.A, Mrs.A and Mr.A all teach English. lol.)

Ms Cuevas. Homework, as usual. (smile, cher!)

Mr Chua seems like fun too.

Mrs H. Hmmm. Still kind of blurry at the moment. But I have a feeling...

So we had our class elections today. And I just hope the officers work out right, unlike High 1.

Once again, I tried but failed to claim the title of treasurer. (Coincidentally, against Kerwin again.)

But I guess it's a sign... you don't have to be in a position to help the class. I mean, take a look at last year. Wahaha.

you did this to me.

First Day.

I rode the school bus at around 6:35am. Wow. Same faces, same habits: all asleep.

One thing struck me though, and it only hit me at that very moment. I looked at my batchmate's patch and I saw III. Shit. I'm so OLD!

Anyhow, I arrived in school... early. So I went on my way to the classroom. And another realization just struck me to on that very moment. Shit. STAIRS!

Wow. Funny stuff.
A little catching up with everybody. And then Ms.Perps arrived with two teachers: Mr.Alibudbud and Mr.Lapena.

Usual stuff.

And then I received the planner. And I heard buzzing and buzzing. Till Charles called my attention and said: SI LUIS OH! (or something to that effect)

And wow was I proud. I'm on the front cover. An old Hulugan photo. LOL!

What's more, I had another photo at the back. It was from the fair with Zyg and our grand prize winner. More fun. Two photos on the planner. I'm so famous. LOL!

(whoever took those photos, congratulations for winning the stallion contest! and thanks for putting me on it. lol. kapal eh!)

The planner was a sign. It really is MY year. Lol.

By the way... it's like I was the only one who was hyper today. Lol.

sonrie!

The Night Before School Starts.

Okay. Before I move on, I'll talk about my day:

Mcdo = Love. their hamdesal was good but nothing beats the smw/e (i ate both. hehe)

I finally finished The Godfather. it was a really, really good movie. but kinda too old for me.

I have a new DVD player. (well... technically, it isn't new.)

I'm trying out Spanish. I asked Yahoo! Answers for some Spanish translations of phrases I commonly use. Then, I found some Spanish sites that teaches me how to read them aloud. (basically the same banana as Filipino. almost.) And I found this other site that has this whole lesson plan. Wihee. Espanol! Lol.

Alright then... SHIT! mixed feelings of excitement, nervousness and I DON'T WAN'NA GO!

It's 10:23 on my watch and I only have seven hours of sleep. But you have to subtract the time needed for me to pack my school stuff (which I haven't done. i'm not excited), do my bathroom rituals and go to sleep. (meaning, getting over insomnia.)

Naku. Tomorrow, tomorrow...

Dream, Babies and Badminton

I better make this fast 'coz he's back. Ugh.
Y'know what? I can say today was definitely fun.

So it started out with various people trying to wake me up with various methods. Lol. Not even shaking or tickling worked. (mostly because I was half awake at that time and refused to get up. hehe)

After their last attempt, I finally woke up. That is, right after having this memorable dream, which I know has a meaning.

So it went like this:
I was with my family--that isn't true to life. I had parents, a sister and a baby brother.
My "parents" wanted to buy a new house and tried to contact this other family, and they agreed to meet at some place to eat. So we ended up somewhere and had Yellow Cab delivered. I still remember the flavor: Garlic Shrimp. Lol.
Anyhow, my baby brother (who looked like he was just learning to talk) tried to say that he could see the other family deceased father. Tikes. Stampede everyone!
So I grabbed my bag and made for the exit till I looked back and saw my baby brother on the floor. I picked him up and ran.
When all was at peace and we were finally somewhere safe, I put him to sleep. Aww.

Yeah, I know the meaning of this one: I MISS ROBIN and ALEX! Waaaa!

I'll miss that feeling I get when I carry them, they hug me and put their heads on my shoulder as I attempt to put them to sleep. There's something about that position that makes you forget about all your worries. Sigh.

Back into real life: I finally finished reading Eats, Shoots and Leaves. (who owns a book about punctuation? apparently, I do.) It certainly was a good book although it took me forever to finish reading.

I watched the Godfather for most of the afternoon but I didn't finish it. Why? I received a text from Ate Kaye inviting me to play badminton.

Going back to the Crame gym brought back soo much memories. Aww.
I still remember 3--or was that four?--years of Coach Noli. Then there's the Bohol gang and everyone else from Badminton training.

I can say that this is the first time I've ever played badminton in years! (let's not count intrams) It feels really good to be playing it again. I can say, I got my skillz back! Woohoo.
I think I know why though: MY PARTNER ISN'T KIM. Apparently, if your partner isn't trying to pull you down, you actually play better. Lol.

I won a two-round match against Trisha (who I learned it with and is much better than me since: (1) she's a mamber of her school's badminton gift, (2) she always has been from the beginnning) and Karen (who first tried it today). My partner was Ate Kaye (who only started this year.) Yeah!

Anyhow, that's mostly today. Good night. 2 days. Shit!
BTW. I might eat McDo tomorrow morning if I actually wake up. :D

love is deaf.

Shopping, Summer, Maturing and the New School Year.

I have done all my summer shopping. Yey! I call them my advanced birthday gifts to myself. LOL.
I got sneakers from People Are People.
Plaid shorts from Human.
A Belt with a Buckle from Penshoppe.
And finally--completed just this day,--a jacket from Greenhills. (hehehe.... hey, i can use it for everyday wear. lol.. i mean, we have aircon na!)
Add to the list the Havaianas mommy fim bought me.

side note: can you believe it. i'm sooo unlucky with sizes: zara didn't have medium of the jacket i wanted (i mean, only large and xl?). the real jacket i wanted from greenhills was too small. a jacket i wanted from springfield was again, too big. anyhow, i ended up with an okay jacket. good enough for me.

I can't believe school's soooo close. But you know what, I'm kind of okay with it 'coz it's been a real fruitful summer. The "time off" brought me a lot of peace of mind. And I'm happy with that. I can now say I've grown more as a person.

You know what, I've been saying all summer that I should watch (not the Godfather, but yes, I have been saying that) Spring Awakening. I only ended up watching it a few days ago. And now, more than ever, the story feels so close to home. Hmmm...

However, nakakainis nga lang kasi na-e-emo ako nang wala sa oras.

But seriously, I'm glad about this summer. And I have to give great big hugs to my cousins (and my cute, cute pamangkins!) since it would've been nothing without them. I feel I've grown more mature because of them (am I not mature enough to begin with?), but I also feel they gave me a wilder side enough to enjoy life.

Let me just tell you this. The only time it hit my head that summer was over was the night I was packing to move out of Ayala, which was only a few nights ago. Before that, when all of you were already keeping their countdowns (one week na lang! six more days!...), I was still busy enjoying my summer. And I'm glad about that.

But now that it's over, it's just given me more reason to wait for the next summer break.

This school year, I'm sure, will be a blast. For one, AIRCON! For another, LOCKERS! And if sources are true, the reason I will shout and scream and jump the hardest... CLASS ADVISER!

AAGGGHHHHHHHHH!

I can't wait. I'm still wondering about what will happen though on... ehem. and ehem.
But you know what, I have faith in myself. After all, I am a good enough-debater. And I've already promised. And I'm already backed-up. Believe. The truth is good enough.

And then there's... Prom. *shivers* (not only for me but for Trisha as well. interesting story hers will be. i might laugh so hard.) And then there's SHOOT! So exciting.

You know what, I'm stepping into school more confident. Lol. Hopes.

After all, this is MY YEAR! :D

things never happen the same way twice.

More Movies!

Okay. Smiles.
This is part 2 of my movie "reviews." I just watched a couple more movies. LOL. Ain't that fun? Hehehe.

Here we go!

Spring Awakening
Wow. Technically, this isn't a movie... but I watched it on a screen, so who cares?

This musical never fails to reduce me to nothing. I love it. Hehehe. I wish I could see it on Broadway. *sigh* How cool would it be to be in a show like this!

Sana magkatotoo ang rekwes ko. *ehempaulehem* jowk!

Sukob (a.k.a. The Wedding Curse)
I watched this one on DVD. When everyone was either asleep or in the other room. Lol.

At first, I thought this was scary. I had to pause it when everybody left the room. However, going through it, it wasn't that much. Sure, it was frightening (nakakagulat), but it won't give me nightmares.

With that out of my head, it would've made a really good movie even if it wasn't headlined as a horror movie. Kris Aquino didn't overact here as compared to Barbara. I just love the whole thing. Way better than most (but not all) of the movies from the other blog. Hehe.

The ending was sad. You'd think it would all be reversed. But it didn't. And I'm glad it ended that way since it wouldn't be believable and you'd say... GANUN LANG? Plus, it adds to the drama.

ABS really likes keeping things open. Both Barbara and Sukob have two ghosts in one house at the ending.

What Happens in Vegas
DVD Marathon last... Friday?

This one's a good watch. Although, I still hate that it beat Speed Racer in the box office. BOO!
Unlike some of the crap (see next film), this one's pretty good. And it's not as predictable as you think. Sure, everyone knows they're going to end up happily married. But you'd expect it to happen sooner. But it didn't... it was nice. I loved it.

The Hottie & the Nottie
DVD Marathon.

Okay... yeah. As expected... BLEH! I got so bored most of the time, I kept pressing fast forward to the parts I think I'd like.
First of all, the actors annoy me. Can't they have chosen a better leading man? He was annoying! And his best friend... oh why!?!?! I just hate seeing him. Then, there's the paid date guy. Ack! And there's more stuff I hate about it, but why bother?

The movie was soooooo predictable. Makeover. Guy falls in love with the Nottie-turned-Hottie.

The single thing I liked about this movie was Christine Lakin. (The Nottie) Yeah, she's what you're expecting all right. Inner beauty. Lol. And outer too at the latter part. I hope she gets better breaks after this. UGH!

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
I watched this in Shang last night with my dad and Trish. Grabe, this was one long movie! 2 hours and 30 minutes.

You know what, I loved it. LOL. I loved all the stuff they added that wasn't in the book. I agree with Ms.A the animals left are so sad. And the kiss was really bittersweet; they had good chemistry. Plus, teenage angst. Yeah! Lol.


So... there you go. Hehehe.
I can't wait to watch The Godfather (tomorrow on DVD) and The Happening (in theatres this week.) Hehehe.

READ THIS? TAG!
you bettah do this!

no. what's that?!

Doctors and Magazines

Okay. I just went to the derma today. Guess what the derma doctor said!

"Congratulations! You have really good skin!"

Reminds me of my trip to the dentist a few weeks ago:

"Ang ganda-ganda ng ngipin ng batang toh! Ang galing mag-tutbras! Walang problema. Ang galing mag-alaga!"

I love these doctors. Lol.

...

While in the derma, I read this car magazine. Quite famous it is. C!

Unfortunately, I'm not fond of most magazines. Fashion bores me. Cars bore me.

So I end up reading the car magazine.

However, I liked what I read. Two articles from their August 07 edition.

The first was by Angelo B Puyat. It was about how village guards would instantly let in an SUV while they go through the long ID process for AUVs. Unfair? Yes.

The other was by James Deakin. Meanwhile, this one was about how the traffic enforcers, police and MMDA crew work their shit. They keep trying to "enforce" discipline into people but it never really happens. For example, helping a counter-flowing car cut in line. Or how they punish a bus driver who almost runs over an MMDA officer by taking his license and giving it back the next day.

I didn't expect two serious stuff from a car magazine. But they're both really good. And I enjoyed my read.

These are the kinds of stuff that we should be reading.

Anyhow. This was so much better than another article I read from another magazine.

So yes, it was in another doctor's office... specifically, Alex's pedia.

The article was from SMILE, the in-flight magazine of Cebu Pacific.

....

Okay, I just did my research. The article I'm referring to is this: http://www.cebusmile.com/2007/12/01/up-front-and-personal-4/ 

(Only the first article: How to Behave in Filipino Barriotic Celebrations.)

It's written by Tim Tayag. He, apparently, is a matapobre stand-up comedian who doesn't mind offending others.

...

I feel that it really was offensive. Really. Stereotypically and racially.

Before any foreigner (or maybe even a Manila socialite?) would end up in the province, they'd read this on their plane. What would go through their minds?

Comedy? I don't think so. We're not barbarians, you know!

It really just annoyed the hell out of me.

What do you think?

What if the following auditions made it through to the top 24 instead of Robbie Carrico, Colton Berry, Garett Haley, Luke Menard, Jason Yeager, Danny Noriega, David Hernandez, Chikezie, Kristy Lee Cook, Amy Davis, and Kady Malloy? Lol.

Colton Swon

Drew Poppelreiter (mr farmer has an interesting voice. as interesting as beth stalker.)

alex has a lot of gleetur.

Accents, Girls and Spring Awakening.

All right.

Wow. It feels like it's been such a long time since my last blog... Hmm. Yeah.

Anyhow. Back to business: more rambling. Lol.

Well. Actually, the reason I haven't been blogging is... there's nothing to blog about.

Yes, my summer has been fun and interesting for my own personal reasons in it sown repetitive ways. (Gulo ko?)

Speaking of which, this week is the last time I'll be bringing Alex to Gymboree.

Gymboree has been an experience. Hindi lang siya pambata, pangmatanda rin.

(Can you believe they almost called me a dad?)

Guess what, I think I can live with that kind of a job.

I mean... when we started out with the classes, I was telling Trisha that I cannot handle a job like theirs what with all the little kids to take care of. Lol.

Now that it's ending, I can say I can handle that kind of job. Doesn't seem too bad.

Plus, I have good English diction... better than most of their teachers at least.

"Okay, kids, it's time to do our signature activity! Let's all go to the air log and we will play hide and sick. No picking, okay!"

"Wow! Alex has a lot of gleetirs!"

Pucha. Laughing moments talaga!

The funny thing is, they'd sometimes copy what Trisha and I are saying. Lol.

I'm not saying that they all have bad accents. I mean their was this one girl who had good diction like that of an Assumptionista (no bad assumptions, please. (what a pun.) They're not bad.)

But there was this one girl who really impressed me.

She really sounded good! She didn't have an American or English accent or anything. Nope. Neither did she have a hard Tagalog accent or a Filipino accent from schools like Xavier, ICA, St. Paul, etc.

No. It was just so beautiful. And I really like it. It's a turn on.

Add to her voice was here really Filipina look. I hate girls who are so pale white and girls who try to whiten their skin. I mean, brown is beautiful.

Not that I'm saying that I like the girl... God, she's way older than me. But I really liked the way she spoke. It was beautiful.

I want my girl to be like that. Grabe. Ito ba naman ang pinag-usapan.

CHANG TOPIC!

I just watched Spring Awakening again. How I just love that show.

I guess it's because I can truly relate. Somewhat like a mix of Melchior and Moritz in my life.

(Some brilliance. Add talent. A dash of suicide. Mix in some longings. Put in the questioning of everything human. And all those other stuff.)

I also love Ilse. La lang.

Anyhow, most of them have left the show already. Gallagher, Michele, Groff, Pritchard, Wright and others.

(I can't believe I actually know them)

And they even have a new version of Purple Summer. I like it better.

Is it just me--Phoebe Strole (Anna) totally reminds me of myself. Why?

Anyhow. More to come soon. Bye.

bringing down the house

Movies! Movies!

Alright. The past few days, I've watched a couple of movies. I'd rather type it here since I do not like using the reviews feature of Multiply. Why? Simply because I don't want to separate my reaction to a certain movie with the blog on that day.

Anyhow. This one will be filled with reviews. And maybe some experiences while watching it. LOL. 

BTW. I'll keep them short and simple. LOL.

Here we go: :D

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. 

Okay. Wow. What a title. HABA! Lol.

I watched this one in the Shang Cinema the weekend after its premiere date.

Anyhow, I liked this one. Didn't love it. I guess it wasn't what I was expecting.

In contrast with Speed Racer: I didn't think I would like the movie based on the first posters I saw on Ms.M's blog, but I suddenly loved it after watching. With this movie, I thought I'd love it but didn't anyway.

Nevertheless, I did enjoy it. :D

Over Her Dead Body.

Okay. This one I watched almost 5 times. However, just on a DVD player. DBD-DBD! Lol.

THe story behind this one: I first encountered this one when CJ invited me to watch it being the Eva Longoria fan he is. *rollseyes* I declines. A few weeks ago, i was just surprised to see it on the new DVDs box. LOL.

So why almost 5 times? Because Trisha fell asleep three times. Every midnight/afternoon, she'd say she wants to watch it. However, before the title card even finishes, she's asleep. Sigh. So I finished the movie on the first time. Th next two times, I just stopped it.

Finally, on the 4th time, she finishes the movie with me putting some attention into it.

She was planning to watch it again with Karen last night. It's a good thing it stopped. (Yey, DBD-DBD!)

So yeah. It had its moments of laughter. Most of them really lose their character which got quite annoying. I loved Jason Biggs and Eva Longoria because they really put the comedy into it. (most memorable line: GOOOuOOOD MuORNIiING!)

Naawa ako sa character ni Jason Biggs. Biglang hindi na sila nagkatuluyan. Sigh.

And parang sad pa rin si Eva Longoria nung umakyat na siya. (Natawa ako sa twist.)

Overall, I'd say I'm glad I didn't waste my money on it for the big screen.

And I HATE TRISHA FOR LIKING THIS OVER JUNO. Humph.

Bring It On: All or Nothing.

This one, I watched on HBO. Although I have watched this before, this time, I paid attention. LOL. Trisha wanted to watch it, and with the laptop nowhere to be found, what else was I to do?

Well. It's cheesy. LOL. But I liked the laughs. (sha boo yah! lol.)

Just really, really, really, really not my cup of tea. Too much of a chick flick. (but even if i was a chick, i think i still wouldn't like it. yeah, that bad.)

In other news, how many cheerleader roles has Hayden Panetierre taken up? I know she has a new cheerleader movie.

Red Eye.

Right after Bring It On, HBO put this on. LOL. Two movies in one night. (Trisha complained when I wanted to watch this movie since we'd be missing the start of Ellen and she's watched this a million times.) Why'd I wanna watch this? Because when I saw its trailer in a cinema before, I told myself I needed to watch this.

First, I have to say Cillian Murphy (also in 28 Days Later) was perfect for the role. Although his eyes weren't red, he did have scary eyes. I mean, seriously, he has really scary blue eyes. Lol. Well, other than that, he acted great for the role here. Ang galing niya sobra! LOL.

The very beginning was annoying. Why start the movie with that scene with the angry couple and the nervous attendant. And more annoyingly is why did they end the movie with still them in focus. It just ruins the aura.

The movie started great. Just what I expected. Really, really cool. Really, really believable on the part of CIllian Murphy. Things start to go wrong though when Murphy introduces himself as the villain. Why? Because airplane girl overacts. It's really annoying. Not overact as in how she acts but overacts as in what the hell was the scriptwriter thinking by giver her that reaction?

However with that aside, the whole airplane scene was really good. I mean really. Things just started to go awry when she stepped out of the airplane. The plot just got all messed up. And you're going... WHAT? It goes even much stranger in the house scene. Ack. It just ends badly.

But you know what... with that in mind, you have to say, "How other way can it go?" I mean, how can you have a happy ending if it didn't go on that way? So I guess it was well... okay.

Gotta give more props to Cillian Murphy though! LOL.

Wow. After research, I found out: airplane girl = regina george. LOL!

21.

Wow. This movie title. It caused much confusion. "You wanna watch a movie: 21?" "What? 23 na eh!" "No, 21." "June 21?" "No... that's this title." LOL.

I watch this in TriNoma. My first time in there. Really nice movie house. It was huge. But... I didn't like it that much. During the trailers, the screen had a lot of lines so I worried the movie would be distorted... which it wasn't anyway, but why cause the anxiety. The seats were recline-able... but I wanted to sit straight and couldn't. Lastly, I was on the wrong row and it was free seating that night. Damn.

Add to that, no single shop sold M'n'Ms. Not even the candy store. Sigh.

Anyhow. Before I tell you more about the movie, I'll give you the reason I couldn't enjoy it that much (just highlight it. but don't if you think you'll get grossed out.): I needed to pee so badly. I drank two bottles of water (which I don't normally do when watching a movie) and I couldn't help my bladders. Sigh. But I didn't pee anyway because the movie was so good I didn't wanna miss a thing. ARGH! It got so bad that when the movie was over and we were walking out na, I could barely move. As in, I had to take small steps that didn't involve moving too much muscles or else PAIN! Grabe. And that was the longest time I can ever remember standing in front of a urinal. Yeah, that bad.

Phew.

This movie stars Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns), Liza Lapira (a rising Filipina star) and Jim Sturgess. He's from Across the Universe. Hahaha. He actually had a voice coach to help him get an American accent.

So here I go: I loved it. Woohoo. I really did. Amazing! Nuff said.

Alright. That's all of them. Next week, Narnia. The week after, The Happening. I love the US Summertime movies. Yeah!

Anyhow, in total contrast to its purpose, I shall use the review section to show the movies i wanna watch. LOL. Hehehehe. Anyhow, that's it for now. I gotta sleep early for boxing. Well, if 2:30 is early. Sigh. Early morning nga. LOL.
