....it's just a book
maybe i'm just being a brat. it ain't that important. i just thought it'll be nice to buy a good book now that powerbooks is on sale. but alas, i have no moolah. i thought i'd ask mom for a loan, 500 bucks would do. but she wouldn't lend me some cash. i'd pay her right back when the money from tatay comes.
maybe i am just being a brat. a materialistic brat. i was really just looking forward to buying a book. sometimes i wish we were filthy rich. but hey, it's just a book. a lot of people don't even have food to eat, and i'm sulking because i cant buy a book.
i dont want to be upset, but i am. it's not about the book. i can borrow books from the library or from friends. it's not about the book. i just feel deprived. i just wish my mother understands. but she doesn't.
or maybe i don't. maybe i am just a stupid brat after all.
a new term
another term. another start. hopefully, this term will be better than the last. i mean nothing could possibly top the last one. it was horrible.
i won't have any expectations. i do have a goal. i need to ace everything this term. i've been slacking off the last few terms. i wont get straight A's but i do need to look that way.
i need to get of my butt and start working hard.
2046
i watched it last weekend. i sorta got lost towards the end of the film. it didn't help that Chow(Tony Leung) and Bai(Zhang Ziyi) did not end up together. I was hoping they would. Again, me and my romantic frustrations. =p
I wish I can offer a more comprehensive review for the film, but as i've said I kinda lost grasp at the end. I wonder if watching In The Mood For Love will help me understand. I am currently downloading it via BitTorrent. BitTorrent rocks! :D
reality bites
i've been meaning to watch this since the start of the Christmas break. A post i read while bloghopping one day made me want to watch the movie again. I can't remember the last time i watched it. The ever reliable BitTorrent failed me this time. (downloading Casablanca at the moment) So, I thought I'd check the local video stores for a vcd copy when i get the chance. I really doubt there'd be pirated dvd's of a 10 year old movie. ( I want circle of friends too. =) ) I know. I'm such a sucker for romantic films, even if they're real cheezy! =p
And so, coming back from school after enrolling(ugh), i was shocked(and absolutely pleased, more like ecstatic) when i found Reality Bites showing in Star Movies. OMG! How cool is that? A great end to a lousy day (enrolling and all). =) Ethan Hawke. Sigh.
Dont even get me started on Ethan Hawke. Flashes from Before Sunset. That movie totally freaking rock. Really. Don't get me started.
p.s. I didn't know U2's All I Want Is You is in RB's OST. Fcuk. Isn't that song the coolest.
a resolution =)
i've always wanted to be able to write intellectual sounding posts.
this year, i'll try to do just that! write something sensible for a change. enough with my senseless banter about my stupid life.
i'll probably get an account at blogthing just to familiarize myself with wordpress. it seems fun.
so wish me luck on this venture of mine to get intellectual in 2005.
goodluck with me!
hello 2005!
wow! 2004 is over. it has been quite a year.
a year that did not leave without a big bang! sadly, it will be distinctly remembered for the many tragedies that happened.
it is a sad new year and was a sad Christmas for many. The war in Iraq, the storms that hit the Philippines that left many of our countrymen homeless, and the killer quake and tsunamis that killed hundreds of thousands of people in our neighboring countries here in Asia.
One can't help but think. Why now? Why us?
Maybe it's a reminder. A reminder that we all just owe our lives, and that we could all lose it without warning. A reminder to love. A reminder to live.
We still celebrated New Year just like all New Years. Life has to go on. I offer a prayer to those who have lost everything. May the Lord give them strength to pick up the pieces and move on.
New Year. 2005. A new beginning for all of us.
the crappy term has finally ended.
dsl is back(finally)!!!
after 4 days without broadband access, my life is complete again. yeah yeah, i know. i'm mababaw like that. =p
i'm thinking of getting a domain when i get around to making my own website. =)
the term is finally over, but of course, it wouldn't/couldn't end without a big bang. my final exams were a mess. a total freaking mess! i try not to think of it, but then again when the school sends my final grades, i still have to face the consequences of my utter disregard for studying. =((
but hey, i want to enjoy Christmas and I will! I'll worry about stupid grades later. for now, i'm just happy the term has finally ended. oh, the joy of vacation! =D
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
