Hay, ang sarap isipin na umabsent ako sa isang practice namin. Haha! (For once!) Eh kasi naman, sino bang panganay ang hindi manggigilaiti sa sarili kung lustayin nya ang kanyang bakasyon kasama ang mga kaklase nya kung sa bahay ay naghihirap ang kanyang ina sa pag-aalaga ng kanyang kapatid na wala pang isang linggo ang gulang..? (ang haba ng tanong.)

Anyway, Minsan lang ako magtagalog sa blog ko kaya lubus-lubusin na!!
So, I present, A movie review!!!

Ayun, so katatapos ko lang manood ng movie, Curse of the Golden Flower, ang talagang nawindang ako. Hindi naman sa hindi ako madalas makanood ng mga war movies na katulad noon. Pero talagang nawindang ako sa sobrang kulay ng movie. Halos lahat na ata ng kulay, pinakita sa bawat scene.. Haha! And, ito pa, talagang ginamit ng China ang kanilang advantage ng pagiging most populous country in the world! Mawiwindang ka sa dami ng extra na nandun.. As in! Kung sa mga artista, masasabing star-studded yung movie. Chow Yun Fat, Gong Li, at Jay Chou. Hay, kung medyo hindi ka makarelate sa mga artistang kapwa mo Asyano, i-Wiki mo na! Dapat naman may kilala ka sa kanila ano?!

Lalo pa akong na-inlove kay Mama Gong Li sa movie. Solid yung portrayal nya sa movie as mataray and medyo baliw na Empress! Plus, nakadagdag sa ganda points nya ng todo yung mga damit nya as Empress, kahit dugu-duguan na lahat, yung haggard look nya, astig pa rin! And if you still don't know Gong Li, sya yung Hatsumomo (bad geisha) sa Memoirs of a Geisha. Di mo pa rin alam?! baka naman masyado kang nakapokus sa Kanlurang bahagi ng mundo!?

Jay Chou. The name says it all. Sa totoo lang, Jay Chou, parang English name ng isang miyembro ng Asian boyband. Pero nang makita ko na yun yung pangalan ng isa sa mga bida sa movie na ito, Hala, convert ako into an Asian movie fanatic eh! Jay Chou is the second son of the Emperor and the first son of Empress sa movie. Napakagaling nya sa martial arts, and ginawa pa siyang head ng Imperial Guards sa super galing nya. Kumpara mo naman dun sa playboy at lampayatot na Crown Prince na unang anak nung Emperor. Haha!
(i-Wiki mo na lang!)
Chow Yun Fat. Lalo pa akong nainis sa pagmumukha nya kasi mukha siyang mayamang rapist. Kahit dun sa Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, talagang uber-inis na ako sa mukha nya kahit bida sya! And merong part na pinatay nya yung bunsong anak nya dahil pinagpapapalo nya ng sinturon na gold. Langhya, masakit yun. Naalala ko tuloy yung Lathalain ko about "sa muling dampi ng sinturon"

Hay, kulang pa kasi yang mga pag-rereview ko, you just need to see the movie para mafeel mo yung ecstasy.

Sorry na lang sa mga colorblind. Talagang mabibighani ka sa ganda..=)

Another movie, Wicked Little Things.
Hay naku, contrast sa Curse of the Golden Flower yung reaksyon ko dito.
Ampangit! Dinadaan na lang sa sindak at laman-loob yung movie. Para na syang killing spree, hindi na ghost movie.

Pano ba naman, mga bata kasi yung mga zombie dito, eh, hello?! parang pinulbuhan lang yung mga bata tapos nilagyan ng ketchup yung bibig. Eto pa, hindi talaga mukhang mga zombie yung mga yun kasi, mga bata nga, hindi sila naglalakad na parang mga zombie. Aba! Tama pa ang stance ng pagtakbo. Plus, yung mga damit nila, all black at mukhang bago! diba kapag zombie ka, galing ka dapat sa lupa?! Aba, yung damit nila, ang linis!

And, eto pa, they casted unknowns for the movie, dapat naman siguro na maganda man lang sumigaw yung mga artista no?! parang nakakita lang patay na ipis yung pagsigaw nila! ang OA pa umiyak! Meron pa isa, yung bunsong anak nung babae, na di umano'y nakipagkaibigan dun sa isang zombie, parang hindi na bata! parang grade 5 na nga eh, diretso na magsalita at mukha namang may muwang sa mundo, hala, napaamo pa ng multo! ewan ko kung stressed out lang yung bata sa kawalan ng katalinuhan ng ina't kapatid nya, pero as in nakipagkaibigan sya sa multo, hello..?! baka hindi talaga mukhang multo yung multo, kasi nga mukha lang espasol na black yung cover yung multo!
Pero, meron pa namang maganda sa movie. Yung gore factor, medyo OK pa naman, nasindak pa ako sa pagkain ng mga zombie sa patay na baboy. Yun lang siguro. =)

Well, alam kong malalagot pa ako sa mga kaklase ko ngayon kasi nagppraktis pa sila. Pero wala tlaga akong magagawa sa ngayon, momma says I need to be here. And as of now, I am.. =(

Well. Lets talk stuff!

1.) I feel dizzy.

2) I'm juggling my priorities in school, and I kept on running away from them instead of facing them head on. (that is, if I still have my head.)

3) I feel so pressured right now. (Haha!) I feel I don't really deserve to be in DSSPC. Well, at least I had the experience. And I had fun. I made new friends. I visited some places again.

4) I'm officially addicted to Bluegrass!!

5) Bluegrass is not a drug. According to Wikipedia, Bluegrass music is a form of American roots music, and is a sub-genre of country music. It has its own roots in Irish, Scottish and English traditional music. Bluegrass was inspired by the music of immigrants from the United Kingdom and Ireland (particularly the Scots-Irish immigrants in Appalachia), as well as jazz and blues.

6) Try THIS SIDE by Nickel Creek.

Well, I still have to go and face my brother. He's challenging me for a match in Games of the General. (I'll just keep this short.)

Oblivion (Op.6)

Oblivion

Oblivion rises from a point of demand
that none of us can change
the ubiquitous joy of forgetting
the sorrows of life

But what can our brains do but forget
the rabid things our mindless bodies did
the indelible suffering of the mind
on certain moments it is absent

Forgetting is the drug we kept on taking
to stand all of that we endure
where will you go, my dear friend
when even the vicissitudes of oblivion, we forget?

10-12-08 (mundo nuevo)

Hey there!

Wow, It's been a while since I left you guys, and I'm pretty sure you're just too damn tired to see the same posts whenever you visit my blog.. So I won't fail you right now.. I'll just update you with my latest..=)

OK, so why is the title MUNDO NUEVO. means New World actually. A lot has happened in the past that I don't think I remember them all. Its just this.
Every little detail that happened to me definitely changed my life.. somehow.

1) I'm in our school paper. Filipino Journalism, that is..

2) I felt tired of checking my Friendster account.

3) For the first time in my life (well, maybe not, but I can't remember those other times),
I crammed a project and worked on it all night long. I didn't get any sleep that day. But for worse, my head ached that day because I drank 2 cans of San Mig super dry just to keep me awake.

4) I've been stressing lately for my first ever school competition, that is, photojournalism.

5) Notes are stressing me out. (I know there are others.) I mean, I can't think of a way on how you can change the world by writing stuff that you don't really understand.

6) In addition, you still have to waste your time gluing some scrapbook stuff and colored paper cuts on your notebook just to get a high grade.

7) It's all about reporting in school right now. And I still can't get a whole lot of it because I'm too focused with a pink throwpillow at school.

8) We have new neighbors here. Well, thank God their house is finished because its too loud. Anyway, when I came over for an introduction, I saw that there lives a guy, I think 17 or 18, that looks like Steven Strait, literally. (just google if you're curious.) The bad thing is that, he's aloof and stays with the computer for countless hours. (which reminds me of my ex-crush)

9) After some reflections, I have had enough of my "pakialamera" attitude already. I think I'm gonna stay low and avoid conflicts from now on. Its too tiring to chase the spotlight and its too blinding to stay in it.

10) Check out my new songs, they're great..=)
