the movie that never was
i had an interesting chat with a friend some days back. we were discussing that there are a lot of great reading for kids. like harry potter, lemony snicket and many more. contrast that to movies. i mean come on its all about marketing when it comes to disney and nickelodeon. all about selling shirts, toys, cds, dvds, mugs, whatever... i'd love to see p.t. anderson, david cronenberg, spike jonze, steven soderbergh do some high calibre film for kids. that would be exciting don't ya think?

Lord of The Rings: Two Towers

finally seen it. not to mention i saw it for free. thanks to gel and cons who offered the free ride and waited in line almost a day to get 6 tickets for the second to the last showing in ATC. we met up at the cinema lobby around quarter to 5pm. damn the place was packed. kids with popcorn, moms with kids, dads with nachos --- a family affair. the movie wasn't quite i expected it. tho i was wonderin why people kept on saying it was better than the first?!? the two movies are way different, its incomparable. the energy, the mood, the visual and almost everything. tho i was wishing more from two towers. more battle scenes, more gandalf action, more emotion, more sensible dialogue, and less of legolas. the movie was quite funny too. but they're putting too much pressure on legolas.and what's up with the "360 ride the running horse up-front" scene. that's classic. not to mention he never runs out of ammo. the elf that never tires. the performance was at par. even gollum, the amazing schitzo character who would probably dethrone yoda anytime.

i have to read the book. no time. will find time. there must have been a great difference

the godfather

coolness gian finally has his website back. he's this totally awesome friend who christened me into the world of the unexplained ---- heehee the indie world. without him i would still be sulkin and making myself more and more useless (the term). well thanks to him i've got my life ahead of me. the hopes of film school, art workshops, and probably more time to write and read. tho i wonder why he used PINK? hmmm.

bendin the road

a few hours ago i was sleeping. a few hours ago i was eatin spaghetti and meatballs. a few hours ago i was smokin gundang garam. a few hours ago i was listenin to electronica. a few hours ago 3 beer bellied monsters pulled me over. was it because of speedin? drivin on a one way street? beatin the red light? friggin cops pulled me over because they thought i was carryin illegal drugs! whoa you don't get that everyday. not to mention how traumatic that is. 3 big beer mouth cops searchin my car for drugs. totally speechless and terrified. wasn't able to use my head. good thing i pushed my way through it --- they almost took me to the station for no freakin reason. good thing a lot of people were around. so the beer bellied monsters got frightened and left me alone. heehee. this is no laughing matter. and remember to use your head no matter what. those damn beer bellied monsters could have planted anything when i allowed them to search my car. stupid me wasn't able to get them damn names. oh well like i said before --- am jinx.

yey friday five's back

1. Do you wear any jewelry? What kind?
yeah, the not so tiffany kind. since i was a kid i kept on losing them valuable items. i'd rather not wear them at all. tho can't live without my earings. back in gradeschool i wear watches. now that i need it i don't.

2. How often do you wear it?
i wear my earings anywhere i go.

3. Do you have any piercings? If so, where?
3 all in the ears.

4. Do you have any tattoos? If so, where?
i wish

5. What are your plans for the weekend?
brash young cinema's party then work afterwards --- ooooohhh what a life

lia's surprise

i know most people have been to parties where they only know quite a few. neway before attendin one make sure whatsitfor, like if its a birthday party, thanksgivin party, christmas party, or whatever. heehee last night quark gave a surprise birthday party for lia. tho i missed the whole surprise thingy. but best part i mistakenly thought it was quark's birthday. so the moment i saw quark, i greeted him --- not to mention i did it in front of lia --- the celebrant. how embarrassing. heehee. tho i guess it would be forgotten. i doubt lia... heehee. it was a helluva party, almost everyone from indiefil was there. and the wonderful quarky pad (i like to call quark's room pad). man you can actually lock yourself there for like a year. dvd's, cd's, comics, books, toys, and an enormous tv. almost everythin anyone can dream of. best part of it was the tradition of signin the wall. coolness. and once again happy birthday lia (hope i got it right). and thanks joey for great the invite.

am a bit high doin this post, forgive me meg. heehee

When you thought you’re sober

On the last day of 2002, I joined the graveyard crew on an early new year’s eve party. It was really early around 8am. Kirby & Mos had a hard time looking for a place coz most of the early morning bars were closed for the holiday. Shucks. So we ended up celebrating at country waffles glorietta, they’re the only one that’s open and serves beer that early. Not to mention they serve mean breakfast! Probably one reason why the place was packed at 8am. Tho I have to admit the service SUCKS, imagine we ordered for three kurant 7, and after 30 minutes of waiting they handed us kurant shots. Duh, that was not what we ordered. And it wasn’t the end of it, besides the fact that they’re understaffed, you had to wait at least 10 minutes to get an order, they freakin billed us double. Okay let me explain… our bill was around 6500 bucks. That’s 6500 bucks for 2 cases of san mig light? a clubhouse sandwich? 3 kurant 7’s? 5 orders of breakfast? Okay we were talking about country waffle here so what do we expect. After looking & passing around the bill for almost 15 minutes we handed the country waffle crew the 6500 bucks they want no questions no quamor. After that Kaye, Val, Roy and I decided to say goodbye after that. So we left the not so drunk graveyard crew to what was left of their 6500 worth of beer bottles. After a few minutes, my phone rang…

turns out the money was gone... so the gy pokes had to pay 6500 again... weird

the year that was

wow been so caught up with life i hardly noticed 2003. a new year, a new hope, & a new beginning. wonder what my new year resolutions would be... hmmm let me see:

I will go back to the gym --- after paying monthly dues and not using it.

I will go back to my healthy diet --- yes thats goodbye to sweets, goobye to carbonated drinks, goodbye beer.

I will try to stop smoking --- hmmm let me see if this is doable.

I will save money --- this i know is impossible --- but who knows...

I will be kind, patient and forgiving --- ha i started this year with a fight (call that kindness)

& I will try my best to be happy --- at least this is doable.

who needs a headache?
(warning: gives you more than a headache --- good luck!)

Have a rockin new year!!!
