The Cinemas Keep Me Sane

This week I have seen around four movies, I guess. My Monday (A holiday) was spent with David in Greenhills. Scouting for an incredibly decent point-and-shoot camera and also checking out Wiis and PS3s. He was smitten by the PS3 though, so he's really thinking about whether to get a camera or just the PS3. So anyway, we saw Semi Pro that day. Tuesday rolled by and after school I met up with dad in Makati Cinema Square, bought An Interview With A Vampire and Nacho Libre. Saw those two as well. And then yesterday, I saw The Other Boleyn Girl with Mico. Today, I watched Secret; it's a Chinese movie and you should go see it. It's kind of heart-breaking, actually and I love it! Okay, so that makes five. :))

Just to feed your curious minds on how I thought of the movies I've seen this week, well Semi Pro's funny (I didn't like it too much, obviously). An Interview With A Vampire is extremely amusing and I love it (you know me and my obsession :P). Brad Pitt = HOT, 'nuff said. Nacho Libre is funny and I rest my case. Jack Black is to be loved by everyone. The Other Boleyn Girl was sick (in a good way)! If you're a fan of Across The Universe, then you should see this. "Jude" is Scarlet Johanson and Natalie Portman's youngest brother. Wicked huh? And as for Secret, I love it a lot. I hadn't been smitten to an Asian movie / soap for a long time and this just brought me back to my feet. And I nearly cried.. if only my parent's weren't there. It was so heart-breaking. At some point you might have to clutch onto your chest because of this certain pain. That happens with me, I just don't know with you. See I'm always like this especially when I get carried away. May it be with the books I read or the movies I watch. Ah well, you know what I mean. Bottom line: I love Secret.


As I move on to another topic, you must know how much I loathe Crocs. Even with a passion! But since my mother is over-excited for my college life (which has already started last year) wanted to look for a good, expensive (with its reasons) pair of school shoes. So we browsed through Rustan's. She wanted to buy Aerosoles for me. But WHAT THE HELL RIGHT? I don't want to spend that much amount of money on shoes that I will probably end up using just to walk through UST's field and uneven grounds. And that's not me, I like being practical with a reason. And I like to splurge with a reason as well. But since my mother is insisting on buying me a nice pair, she was actually thinking of Crocs. Yes, those bulky-looking plastic-rubber shoes whatever material it's made of. We actually think it looks like a farmer's shoe.. hmm, yes it does. But when I landed my eyes on Alice (OMG TWILIGHT MEMORIES XD):
It looks good (meaning it doesn't look like a farmer's shoe at all), plus is just TOO comfy. And I could run in them around CFAD's slippery corridors. Especially when I need to go to the bathroom in a hurry or the next class in a rush. It's not that bad isn't it? But we're still looking around. I think it might look a bit awkward with the black pants required. Ah well, come what may. I'm thinking of the Kung-fu flats from TopShop though. But they're not leather.. And I might slip in them. I need something sturdy.


Hello, you. I'm getting anxious again. BREAKING DAWN BREAKING DAWN BREAKING DAWN. TWILIGHT THE MOVIE TWILIGHT THE MOVIE TWILIGHT THE MOVIE. O_O

We all coo'

Mico's birthday was a blast! Even if we had to stay at Omakase (Japanese restaurant in Libis) 'till closing everything was still great. The food was amazing. Probably the best Japanese food I've had so far. After eating and staying in Omakase 'til closing, we bought.. well.. what is there to be bought when it's your birthday? Yes, liquor. After buying these, we went to his house and got ice, glasses and a fork (That we didn't get to use) then drove to the tank.
Yes, that's the tank. It's more of like a rooftop of some sort. Ah well, so we went there and that's where we had our one on one. We talked and had a few shots. And since the driver wasn't available, Mico had to be the one to drive me home. It was his first time to drive without someone authorized in the car. It was a great experience for him since he's already an adult (sort of) and it's sort of memorable for me too because he's the first guy (who isn't my father, or my uncle, or whatever) who drove me home so we're really cool with it. Haha and the great thing was we didn't get drunk. I had all the rights to be, and he doesn't have any since he's the one who's actually going to bring me back to my parents. So yeah, I sort of kept on freaking out on him though. He's a good driver.

Oh, and I just came home from Pangasinan. We didn't go to the beach :( Maybe next time.. SUBIC *drools*. I'm totally looking forward to that one.

Look at the sun!

Yesterday wasn't a very good day.. At least the beginning and some parts of it. Not really the majority but you know what I mean. My schedule yesterday was to go to UST, submit the requirements and then go to Shang and see Shutter with Mico. Pretty smooth going I know but then I lack one Certificate of Good Moral and the yellow paper thingy that proves that I passed. And also, I don't have two 2x2 pictures yet so when we got to UST, the first thing that I did was that I had my pictures printed. Then went to CFAD with my father to submit my requirements. I know it's not a very good first.. I should have had everything that I needed before I submit. I thought I had all the things I need to bring and submit. Using my father's authority this early isn't very good. But I do know that when I start studying in UST, I won't be using that any longer.. probably. Ah well. But things went well, I'm glad. All I lack is that Certificate of Good Moral thing.. That's just it.


I finished everything I had to do in UST around 3.30pm. And since Shutter starts at 5pm, I had to be early of course because I do know that time is gold. But since my mother is.. well.. my mother, we always had to pass by some place. And in this case, we had to pass by St. Lukes because Nico (a friend from church) was sick and his mom is a friend of my mom (obviously). He's awfully sick, and I hope he gets well ASAP. But mom was the only one who went to his room. My dad and I were too hungry to even face people and socialize. Sure, but maybe after we've eaten.. we're really grumpy people. Anyway as usual, my mom took long. We waited for her for more than 30 minutes. And she knew that I was in a rush. Of course I couldn't really say anything about her not being time-conscious (again) but she's my mom, and I'm just her kid. But when I'm the one who gets late for what? Five minutes? She gets infuriated. Not quite a sight. She always lays on the guilt trip. Ugh. Anyway I got to Shang around 5.05pm; not that bad, I know but then I wasn't able to start the movie. Ugh. But then I'm totally cool with it.

After the movie, we went to The Ledge. And then to Cibo where grandma (Espina's) was. And the fact that the cute waiter was the one who served us. The one who went to Spain and came back (inside joke). I sent Cassie a message that very moment. And then after that, we went to Tender Bob's to eat. We didn't eat in Cibo. It's just grandma. I got pork chops. Since I don't want buger. Tender Bob's is really good, a bit pricey though but I think it's worth it. Then Mico and I bought candies. OH JOY. I love the sunflower seed thingy and also the pebble-looking ones. And of course the Dracula teeth. Just delish. So we came back to Tender bob's. Oh, we also took some pictures. The day wasn't so bad after all, huh?

They liked the blurred pictures.. After watching Shutter and all that. *Shrugs*

Today is Mico's birthday. And to him, I give my half a bottle of long neck stuck in my room! Inuman na. :))

Casualty

Today hasn't been eventful. Nothing too exciting happened (except for the fact that I almost got hit by multiple cars). After school I just went to High Street to meet up with my parents. I bought a book, too; All-American Girl: Ready or Not. It's a sequel. Anyway, my mom also treated me to Sonja's. I've been bugging her about it every time we're in the area and I finally got it my way. Actually today isn't too bad. I got a book, a cupcake I've always wanted and a pair of bikini. Not so bad, I know. But the heat just wasn't very pleasing. It hurt my skin to the core. I felt it on every inch of my body. The sweat dripping through my forehead. You have no idea how much of a relief it was when I finally rode the cab. And then the moment I got to Bonifacio High Street, I went straight to Fully Booked. Other than that, I could describe today as not like any other day I have. Because today was extremely boring. And school didn't help me that much with that. I thought it was even more boring in school. It's just better when I'm out of it.


Ah. The down slides of not having a summer vacation. But the good thing is that, I still have allowance. Tell me about how much it rocks to have allowance over the summer.

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb."

I haven't been telling you how addicted I am to the Twilight saga. Maybe you can check out my Multiply. Because that's where I rant endlessly about the book. The moment I read the first book, I knew there was no stopping here. Every other day, I just HAD to buy the sequel. Yes, I am that addicted. And no, it is not bad. Not at all. Not one bit. Reading has always been good to my soul and at the same time, it destroyed me. It's the complete contrast of what I had said earlier about reading being good. Sometimes I feel the characters' pains and hurts. That part isn't very healthy. But I'm good with it. It's better than not feeling anything at all.

Oh I'm such a dork. I have always been a sucker for books.

Anyway since everybody's talking about Twilight the movie in such manner that they criticize the ability of the cast chosen. Honestly, I wasn't very pleased but I started to cope up with it. Since I was in the middle of reading New Moon when I found out who the cast was, Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan and Robert Pattison as Edward Cullen; I started imagining with them in it instead of who I want. Most people wanted Emily Browning but I think Kristen Stewart is just fine. As for Robert Pattison, I would have wanted Gaspard Ulliel (French men are hot) and that sort of disappointed me. But I managed to like him anyway (Pattison). It's all good. I bet the movie's going to be great! But the book is still the best. Don't you think so too?

I lack too much sleep. I'm going to continue reading.
