Blah etc. and everything else

The story of two illusionists competing for fame.

.

It’s somewhat of a dark story of two men and their obsession with the greatest illusion of all time. Set in London at around the late 1800’s and early 1900’s when electricity was still beggining it’s footing in the scientific community. (Electricity plays a minor role but I timed the movie based on records of Nikola Tesla’s stay at Colorado Springs, which was a major part of the plot)

.

The climb to the climax was kind of predictable, but the finale was superb. I don’t know what else to say. It is a must watch. The fact that I didn’t predict the ending before it ended was what made me like it the most.

.

It takes a bit of attentiveness to understand the lines because everybody’s speaking with a slight British accent. I’ve wished there were subtitles no less than five times. The good thing is, you can actually deduce what they mean by their actions.

.

Although I wish Hugh Jackman didn’t die. (He dies at the start of the film so technically this isn’t a spoiler)

.

A bit on the dark side but not too dark. No actual gore but it leaves a teensy bit to the imagination.

.

Overall… SOOOOOO great! Nyahahahah I love it.

.

WATCH IT!!!

Superman by R.E.M. I never thought I’d like a song by them but here I am singing to it’s tune. The title of the post is a line from their song.

.

Yet another singer that I haven’t even heard of, Natasha Bedingfield, with her song Unwritten. The line I like is:

Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

.

I’m a sucker for feel good songs. ^_^

Iknow I said I was gonna work, but after posting the previous post (heheh) I scanned through all my previous posts and I noticed that nobody has ever commented on my poetry and short stories.

.

Gawd I must really stink. Hahaha

.

Unfortunately, further attempts at literature will not stop.

.

At least for now.

I just found myself doing a text brigade at 1am hehehe and I was kinda surprised that some people actually replied to my messages. And here I was thinking I’m the only one awake at this hour.

.

I Finally got myself some money making scheme. Although I’m still not in the mood. I’m trying to psyche myself for writing by writing this entry.

.

Fortunately, I found a go-around for my coffee maker problem. Truth is, after I tasted non-instant coffee (can’t really say it’s brewed) I can’t really stand the taste of instant, it’s so… artificial. Anyway, I watched lifestyle network for a few hours and I came upon this coffee expert who was discussing ways to make coffee. And he actually said that coffee makers don’t brew the coffees good (tama ba yung grammar?) because they can’t get the water hot enough to actually release the coffee’s goodness.

.

So I tried the the things the coffee-maker guy said and I ended up with an acceptable cup. Acceptable because after drinking it all up I still had sediments at the bottom. Hehehe So my filter broke BEFORE I removed it from the cup. So I’m all buzzed and psyched to write.

.

Speaking of psyching for work. There’s this song that whenever I hear it, I get in the mood to write. Guess what the song is? … It’s Constantly by Nina. Actually it was about ayear ago when I was writing SEO articles at the Eng’g lib that the phenomenon started. I had no mp3 player at that time and I just couldn’t work without music. So I connected my earphones to the PC and went to tristancafe  to stream OPM songs. Constantly was the song that worked for me that time, and it’s worked for me ever since. Weird huh?

.

Anyway, I’m buzzed and I’m psyched, so I think I can finish those articles now.

.

Ciao!

Hehehe. It seems I’ve had a change of heart. I know I said I missed UP and indeed I do. But I don’t seem to miss it that much now that the day of enrollment is looming. Indeed it is only a matter of time before i once again get sucked up in the tight grasp of the academe.

.

I would have been happy if I did something productive this vacation. Yes I earned a few bucks but I didn’t really earn that much… maybe because Iw as too busy bumming out.

.

I told myself that this sem break would be the time to refresh my savings from the binges and the *ehem* donations of last semester, not to mention the almost daily movie trips I did when the sem was about to end.

.

So I’m broke and dreading the day when I’m going to have to face another non-fiction book.

.

happy Baboy days are over.

AS said in previous posts, I’ve been spending my break watching anime and writing stupid stuff. Yesterday my neice arrived and she spent the night here at our house. So the whole night yesterday until today, we’ve been having a Disney Marathon. We watched mulan and Mulan II twice, Hercules twice as well and once for Tarzan. It’s good that the Pocahontas download isn’t finished yet.

.

She’s gone now, she finally got bored of her aunt and went home with her mom. Anyway this magic stuff’s kinda rubbing off on me.

.

Right now, my Winamp’s on shuffle, and what do you know, some kind of weird timer must’ve been on, and Eraserhead’s Wishing Wells is now booming throught my computer speakers.

.

Here’re a few lines so that those who don’t know the song would understand what I mean.

.

I wish i could go back to those fairy book tales

Forget the real world a while and seek the seas of the talking whales

A place called wishing wells and magic spells (2x)

Where everything starts out a once upon an time, long long ago

and lives happily ever after…..aha ha…yeah yeah!

.

I just thought that it would bekinda fun do just spend one day as an enchanted princess or a super hero. Their lives are so exciting and so unpredictable.

.

I mean that’s the reason why we’re all so enamored with action films or tele-seryes, even Anime. Deep down inside we actually wish we were the ones in the story. Because in the story, you know that the ending will be happy, no matter what.

.

Life would be really tolerable if while spending oyur days in hardship you have the absolute knowledge thata fterwards, all that you’ve done would’ve been worthwhile.

.

But life is not like that. So we all dream.

.

For me, one day, that’s different, thats exciting, I think that would be enough.

I never thought there would come a time that the title of this entry will be uttered. At least until i graduated.

.

But it is true. I miss the hectic days, the hell weeks the talks. Gosh I’m turning into a friggin’ hermit here. All i do is sit in front of the Pc, or else watch anime. If i’m not doing that, I’m eating or sleeping.

.

I won’t be surprised if all my clothes won’t fit when I try them on. nyahahahah.

.

I tried doing some work, but my body just won’t get into that work mode unless everything around me is hectic. It just proves that I am a true blue crammer. Hahahah my body’s broken unless I fix it with a hefty dose of panic and paranoia.

.

I’m actually looking forward to enrollment day when I get to walk for a reason, not justbecause my legs have fallen asleep.

.

I’m sucha  PIG…. OINK!!!

Ijust finished watching Cardcaptor Sakura, including the two movies. I’m kinda disappointed because I liekd the series very much, and now… I’ve nothing else to do. haaai

.

So I’m downloading a bunch of other anime to fill the gap. Unfortunately, the anime that I’d like to watch all have 100+ episodes, all of which I haven’t watched. I want to watch Naruto and One Piece, but i dunno if I do a 200 episode marathon. ehehehe.

.

I’m gonna try out magic knight rayearth though.

.

I’m watching girly girly anime. hmmm it must be the isolation. Nyahahaha i haven’t had anyone to actually talk to other than my Dad, sometimes my Mom and sometimes my sister. But other than that, I’m kinda afraid that my vocal chords will fall out of use. WEll i do sing when I’mdoing household chores, nyahahaha. Mayba that’s whymy mom’s stopped asking me to do chores recently.

.

Anyway I’ve nothing else to wirte so that’s it for now. Oyasumi!
