Been a long time...

it has been quite a while since I last entered a blog here.  I have been trying to keep things light on my page... maybe that's why hardly anyone comes here.

anyway...

what has been happening to me... lemme see...

there isn't much i would want to broadcast to the world right now except that BEING ANGRY CAN SO DRAINING!

there... it's out.  there was an issue in school and some people's mistakes ended up being paid for by the entire class.  the worse part is that people are angry at the one who reported the incident.  talk about misled!  i say, be angry at the perpetrators not the rat.

"rat"... whatta word!  no one wants to be reported about, that much is true.  still, when there is something wrong, something needs to be done about it.  i guess what people really wanted was this to be contained and not blow up like Nagasaki in 1945.  now, we are all burned and scarred. so maybe the reporting needed a little bit more thought...

i bet some people suspect me.  now, that is funny.  me, a rat?  my daughter would rather have me as a hamster, thank you very much.

in any case, like many in my class who work hard, i was furious... so furious I had to cry.  i'm not one to go on a shouting spree or break things.  while i can write, i tend to be guarded in my writings.  (obvious ba?)  i keep anger bottled up inside.  so when it was announced thatb a full-scale investigation was to happen, i just burst. 

there is so much at stake here for me.  it isn't just one subject.  if my benefctors suspect yet another foul play in my education, the rug i am comfortably sitting on right now will be pulled quite unceremoniously from under me. if that isn't enough for me to cry about, i don't know what is.

it is a bit funny though... i'm a crier.  i cry a lot.  i cry at commercials even.  but it seems that people from school never really saw that.  they just know Ate Ginnie, the outspoken one with an attention span that can live through hours of Chem and be nice at Psych.

surprise.  surprise, huh? 

well, the anger has subsided.  the scars remain.  i just hope i do well on Friday.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Drama
Just when I thought Brad Pitt has given up being a babe onscreen (especially after his recent movies like Burn After Reading and the Oceans Trilogy), he redeems himself again and climbs up on that pedestal I put him on after I saw Legends of the Fall and A River Runs Through It.

As the curious Benjamin Button, Brad was touching and evocative. Of course, the inimitable Ms. Cate Blanchett surpassed Mr. Pitt in performance. She was nothing short of superb. It totally helps that the story is stirring and well-developed.

Kudos to the makers of this movie. I hope they bag those golden trophies next month.

Partying with Mixmerize




former officemate Micmac invited us to crash a gig near my house. I was the designated driver-cum-photog so I just had fun clicking away while my friends were busy enjoying the colorful booze.

I don't know what they're called but they're nice to look at. My friends thouroughly enjoyed themselves, so I guess the drinkswere pretty good.

And I'm told their rates are pretty good too... Hmmm... maybe I should drink next time...
