Random movie roundup

1. 21

I have to admit that what really made me watch this movie is not the fact that the plot is loosely based on the best-seller “Bringing Down the House”. I had to to see for myself how Jim Sturgess and Kate Bosworth’s drunken scene turned out. Apparently, the co-stars were too anxious to shoot [...]

Something to smile about

It really is high time to stop obsessing over passing Philosophy, bitching out about HUGE disappointments and betrayals (not mine, but I feel for a friend), and getting annoyed by random egotistical morons. I’ve wasted too much time and energy on things that are beyond my comprehension, and right now I could really use some [...]

It’s different to see Ateneo in the summer just before the school year begins. There is usually a soft breeze, and there is no endless queue of people milling about SEC walk. One can take her time walking around and admiring the newly renovated buildings they raised our tuition for.
I feel bad [...]

Alone, not lonely

This morning I had the pleasant opportunity to converse with a wise gentleman who gave me the dose of reality I’ve deprived myself of for the past few weeks. Because Katie has been acting like a hermit and secluding herself from the cruel truth of an affair gone awry, the support group sent out proper [...]

A Day Late

I’m not who you recall anymore.

What a whiney brat

I don’t know if it’s the gray skies or my rapidly sliding grades that’s been keeping me down in the dumps lately. Most days, I aimlessly go through school and plow through work without batting an eyelash. I get home exhausted and instantly fall asleep only to wake up at around 9pm to start on [...]

Public Service Announcement: Holdup in Varsity Hills

Just when I thought I had new found independence to master the streets of Manila with just a map and my superb commuting skills in hand, I have just been slapped back by the nastiest of realities.
Around 30 minutes ago while I was peaceful in my slumber (7:30 pm), my next-door neighbor got mugged–right in [...]

Random 2: Commuting, Greek

Public Transportation
I’m so sleepy my eyes might as well fall off their sockets from fatigue. Before I head off to zeta zeta (zz, get it? I’m pre-empting my next rant) land, however, I find it very relevant to share today’s misadventure.
As I’ve already mentioned in past whiney blog posts, this semester is killer. Proof of [...]

iPod Report: Resurrection

I was going to write about my iPod’s unfortunate drowning yesterday, but I was too depressed to relay the series of events and continued mourning for my 30G worth of loss.
It was 3 in the morning and I was trying to  force myself to sleep by listening to  some of my favorite  shoegaze  tracks on  [...]

Mama Ma Donna

Britney has been replaced by a backup dancer
I’ve told a lot of my friends that if Madonna actually comes to Manila, I’d set up camp outside the venue and cry throughout her concert. I said the same thing about getting the chance to watch Kylie Minogue. But as fate (and awful geography) would have [...]
