1001 movies and Kronism(?)

yeah. i've been thinking how am i doing this past few days.here's an excerpt from what i've been writing.

July 12

It was never that fun when you had to walk home empty handed; with your wallet nowhere to be found. It’s also raining and I don’t have an umbrella. I never wished for this to happen but it did. I’m literally scattered on the floor groping for something I do not know.My TV’s not working. So much for wanting to divert these things away but it seems I’m stuck with that for the moment.

God…I don’t want anything to do with this anymor-
(*ring ring!)

The phone started ringing before I could finish the journal. I didn’t know if I should answer it now or what. No one ever called me unless it’s about work. I wanted some peace at least for the mean time. The day sure was exasperating.

-----

funny i've watched 4 films last week and  i mean 4 movies in 5 days.

I've read the 1001 Movies To Watch Before You Die. Damn, it's roughly 50 among those kick-ass movies that i've viewed.

we've computed how much time will be used if by chance we accomplish such a feat. 250 Days. yeah, it's like a year without watching other movies. How about Prada? Spiderman? Transformers? Harry POtter? Hostel 2?. So many movies, so little time.

yeah, im a film addict. its been a habit to watch at least 4 movies a month (regardless if it's the usual FRIDAY MOVIE DAY or do it within one week if everything's kickass) that's the minimum.

no wonder im cant save any money for dates, pc upgrades or a new supply of clothes.

--------

a friend got invited to enroll in the VIDPREP (Video Pre production class) for next term. the school was planning on making a IndieCSB/a group of students gifted in the field of filming. She even thought, "isn't it unfair? the prof was the one choosing who should enroll in the class? How about those who are gifted but is not known to the prof?".

the prof and i is in no good term with each other so probably i wont get the invitation, plus i wont enroll in that section if i had the chance.

do i have to be insecure? nah. hahaha i have other people i can count on when it comes to the film industry.

just like before, it might end like KitchenWorx, a group of supposed to be great students, which ended in nothing because the profs involved are finished with their theses. did you get the agenda? figure it out. (this one is allegedly true)

to use the school for selfish reasons and avoid getting caught is impressive. Being caught red-handed is plain stupid and deserves to be brought to Lebanon and be bombed.

todo insomia.

now im reinstated, as a staffer and not as an editor of the office. (hehe fishing) and they let me apply for the school publication. now im back to writing if i will be accepted as feature writer. (as if i am not writing in this blog for almost 2 years yata) well, if office calls for me to become editor again...i wouldnt know what to do. hehehe

im hoping everything will turn out fine else i would be motivated to go away. Damn, im such a deserter.

--------

there must be something wrong. it's 3am and i cannot sleep. i tried continuing my short story but nothing happened. im posting this entry yet nothing is still happening. AND I've tried smoking one stick (which is supposed to be not happening) [though hindi ko naubos] and nothing is still happening. i've already made posters, edited a video, cleaned my room (a little) and i still dont feel sleepy.

maybe i'll end up tiring myself counting money [rather than sheep].

walang hangin; hindi gumagalaw ang mga puno
nakakabinging katahimikan habang nasa gitna; walang nakatingin
balot sa usok; habang nagsusulat sa ilalim ng nakatagong buwan
nilalandi ng mga langaw at tumatawa na lang 'pag tumutunog
      ang pagsampal ng tubig sa silyang kinauupuan
tila bulag sa nangyayari, puro nagsisinungaling na mga ngiti
      at mga kantang hindi matapos-tapos
buti na lang at may mga bituing nakasilip lang a kanya-kanyang
      nagbibigay ng liwanag sa isa't-isa
buti na lang at may matiwasay na lamesang nakatayo...
mamaya matatapos narin ang buhay ko...
konting hithit na lang...
itatapon na rin niya ako

sige lang walang coherence ang topic ko today. plug narin ako

Ban this movie please. -malaysian government

in lieu of my comment on Jed's 3rd entry from his latest. (concerning Prada)
though this is a veeeeeeeeeeeeeery delayed post.

----------------

there's this Malaysian militant-slash-weird group that appealed in banning the movie Da Vinci Code.

we could think it's about religion or morality, but let us remember that Malaysia is not a Catholic country so they wouldn't mind JC being questioned.

they've wished it to go away because:

Da in the Da Vinci Code is considered a rap word replacing "THE" [We] are not promoting words to be used since it diminishes english writing comprehesion-slash-spelling, therefore, we appeal the makers to return it to it's original form.

ayun! have they've been studying? let us laugh till we die. Probably they forgot [or they dont really know] that Da Vinci's real name is Leonardo Da Vinci. Thinking about it made me laugh still. The The Vinci Code. wahahaha

that gave me the idea that people really put's their noses in others business without knowing first what's happening. (Know-it-alls deserve to rot in zoos.)

Like them, i know people who in their best intentions (talaga lang ha), enter other people's lives and tell "this is wrong. you have to blah" or "really?! putangina nya" something like that. And when everything goes overboard, they're the ones who suddenly enter the gaping void and leave you in the air. THough on most occassions, they support a certain party blindly and still proclaim themselves as righteous as they can be.

sometimes, the worst things came from the best intentions.

so. Da End. oops... i might get shot or bombed by using this even though im not lebanese.

my bad among small things

if men experience PMS, im having one now.
we all have pet peeves or little things that get on our nerves.
i wonder what's your's. (im tagging everyone haha)

1.  unflushed toilet bowls
2. the question "Musta?" (dont ask)
3. the chat expression "LOL" (dont ask)
4. someone touching my neck
5. the "Happy Birthday song"
6. milk
7. the song EVER AFTER (actually this one's hate already, dont ask)
8. rubber shoes with wheels. (fuck, who invented them)
9. smilies in text messages
10. people who dont react when you talk (and i mean like you're talking to a rock)
11. the phrase "hindi ka yung kilala kong mito" or "hindi ko naimagine na gagawin mo yun"
12. tardiness!
13. "malapit na" when asked "where are you?"

actually there's more...or it depends if i do have the mythical PMS.

then i received a text msg "pls. dont be late for tomorrow's meeting blah blah and dont forget the canned goods. and dont forget to greet [insert co-worker's name] because it's his birthday."

nya, like i had the same text msg last month when it was birthday. but noooooo, i was thrown to harrison and get packs of fuckin' popcorn. hahaha bitter ako sorry, it's my special day we're talkin' about.

well... this year's birthday really was my GREATEST birthday celebration. REALLY! I MEAN IT. experiencing it almost made me run on the highway and kill myself.

haaaaaaaaay PMS sucks.

poem repost.

indifference

i dont often get mad
i smile even when things go bad
they say that i dont take things seriously
they say that i take things too lightly
no one understood what i really meant
smiling everytime, not showing regret
under the skin... was already dread

im not odd, im not strange
i dont poke myself with some syringe
im not unusual, and not peculiar
i dont swallow swords, i dont eat fire
im not bizarre, im not weird
i dont live the indifference that you've perceived

why do they they always believe what they see
i feel pity, i feel angry
not all who smile show what they really mean
not all who smile show what inside feels
why wouldn't they understand
i'm still human, i can feel sorrow
only deeper...  when things don't go for the better

im not odd, im not strange
i dont poke myself with some syringe
im not unusual, and not peculiar
i dont swallow swords, i dont eat fire
im not bizarre, im not weird
i dont live the indifference that you've percieved

stay away, keep away
you think that you've been of help
i don't need too perfect persons
who will change my life for the worse
i only ask all of you
make me feel understood
show them not all things are what they see
have the feeling that something can happen
for at least one second

though i think this is not true anymore.
i love being different. probably i'll make a counter-poetry for this one hehehe

I might have DIABETES. whoo!
kinda gross, but i kinda saw my pee... getting swarmed by ants.
maybe im that sweet hehe

im planning on seeing my doctor on the weekend.

additional disability! YEAH. apart from:
- gastroentritis-turned-ulcer-someday turning cancer
- almost autistic 
* this one, back when i was still a freshman student, our PSYCHOLOGY prof gave us a test to know if we were under the powers of autism. if you got 7 out of 14, congratulations! you are autistic. I got 6. hahahaha
-
still trying to know if a have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)
- scoliosis
- left ear is half deaf
- 100grade for eyesight

yeah. im a very handicapped person.

-----------------

vanity struck once a month.
here's a proof (made this into a ticket for an imaginary play i might write)

heart

minor editing for b&w and sepia. eye thingamajiggy is real makeup/facepaint

creeping finals

Just like every student would think, Let us cram ourselves to death for almost everything is due this week. Considering that if i have lots of projects then it'll be really hell.

----

Geek talk!

Everyone goes drama-rama today while im playing FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus. (what the hell is a DIRGE anyway? according to the dinosaur[said by Joseph Estrada] Thesaurus, it is a funeral song or a requiem... ooh! requiem and dirge. sweet)

Thinking that since it was a member of the FF series made it overhype, plus having VINCENT VALENTINE as the main character would make handsomeness reach higher levels.

But my hopes were shattered. hAving bought the game yesterday, i'm already nearing it's end. The game was pretty easy (considering NORMAL MODE) and it is very repetitive. Enemy AI is poor and the game had lots of cutscenes and fmvs you'd wish they put more and rather stop playing hehehe. Mostly it's on a 10 minute gameplay then another 10 cutscene. (much like Xenosaga and Metal Gear--games that should be made into animated features rather than playing it)

an eye candy, that's what i should call it. plus, it seemed that they wanted to try a new way of gameplay since VINCENT is a shooter. poor vincent...
(although the game gave Vincent a story and an identity, unfortunately, i semi love story. LOVE STORY para sa idol ng bayan?)

Gamespot rates it 6.
I'm rating it at 5 hahaha

just like the 03-04 Benildean Yearbook, im still waiting for the Devil Wears Prada movie and the Final Fantasy XII for ps2.

women = orcs

Everyday we would hear words. Words that make a mark or words that can be quotable; be it hilarious. romantic, destructive, cinematic or stupid. In this case however, is plain derogatory and blunt.We say things to express how we feel. We are often judged on how we talk or what we say.

Here,

After eating liempo from this smoke infested establishment that makes you smell like inihaw, there's this (big breasted orcish) girl in a jeep shouting. "HOY EDMUND MALIBOOOOOG!" I think she was pertaining to this pedicab driver who doesn't like to wear shirts. She shouted and shouted and shouted more until people were brainwashed enough they would utter the same statement "HOY EDMUND MALIBOOOOOG!" (MALIBOG=HORNY in a more humiliating manner)

Probably she didn't have breeding; same with those girls [orcish or not] who shout "PUTANGINA" in public. (cursing is ok with, not just those who enjoy shotuing in public) That is a big turn-off especially when you're already aestetically challenged. Bad looks + Bad mouth = something worst than being LOTR's fighting URUK-HAI. (dont tell me it's self-expression or the freedom of expression/speech crap. dont get mad if i shout at your face like "P*k* ng ina mo" or something very rude)

Well that's that. Just in the mood for reacting on how people can be very improper.

(dont get me wrong. im not saying that it's okay when men do the cursing schmursing. let's just accept the fact that men are already monsters at birth. and dont get me that argument since who would want to be considered unethical? i'd rather go for eccentric or weird but not unethical)

PRADA PRADA PRADA!

Today, Studio23's Oprah is talking about GENOCIDE.

Poland,Serbia,Rwanda and Sudan. I'll be talking about domestic and international issues next post.

Burn!

i've remembered something when i was discussing the Genocide Saga with my friends. It was the time when we had this shoot for Pepot Artista. LINK.

i still don't know how they would result to such barbarism. Too much PRIDE probably can kill.

or maybe they thought some people can really be soooooooo
useless. The mutant group MORLOCKS were massacred because they were treated as failed mutants. The JEWS on the Holocaust were supposedly annihilated because HITLER saw them as the reason JC died. (an allegation)

But looking back at that production day, probably i'd go for the uselessness.

crammers, boxes and artworks

everyone is still cramming; I'm not. haha After WEBPAGE's (webdesign and ekeks) panel [which was fun] and PHILOMA's (philosophy) not offering any final exams, im free for the whole week until the office requires us to do mundane whatevers.

(ive already failed the other subjects the week after midterms kaya im not that busy. hahaha)

I've wasted a handful of money this term--From failing incomprehensible subjects to buying unbelievably expensive clothes. Gawd, i need rakets from now on. I've got to support all these materialism hahaha

Hopefully We're going to watch thedevilwearsprada tom. (can't wait for Meryl Streep to strip away people's dignity haha yuck baduy)

---

i got pretty pissed after attending indieBENILDE last saturday. (buti na lang i got somewhere "accomodating" after the frickin' show)

I thought my eyebrows were already up up and away hearing people brag that "yeah... experimental video ako. angas noh?" i think among the multitude of "experimental" videos, i've only appreciated 3. (with the other one not experimental at all)

i know making experimental videos' kinda cool. But some people turns this into a scapegoat whenever they can't conjure good concepts in mind.

it's like hearing "think out of the box!" from people who don't even know what a box is in the first place (hehehe get what i mean?)

out of the box my ass f*cker. hahaha (laki ng galit haha)

people mostly do abnormal stuff and brag it as "artistic".

it's like im always hearing these things that even though i have not made one, im already hating it.

nah. maybe i'm just too frustrated and mad im not making any sense anymore. maybe it's just a pet peeve.

can these feeling-artists just die from blasphemy?
i think there's a rule in art, "try to learn the rules and what's normal before you break it"

now im craving Tennis again. it's been a year since a good game with someone special (nyak nyak)

-----

crossposting to livejournal is a drag even if it's just a click away. hahaha

and it's been quite some time since i've posted something in devart. www.mitochondrion.deviantart.com
(nyuk nyuk) a shameless plug
