hayy.. i've really just had enough.. so i'm gonna start this topic and, i guess, to be followed by a series of such.. each with a different person so to speak..

first, i miss my movie buddy.. here's a testimonial i made three years ago:

my movie buddy!! daredevil, spy kids, austin powers, shrek, harry potter.. these are some of the movies we watched. minsan nga, one large popcorn and one large drink.. solve na! hehe sometimes i wouldn't watch one pag di siya kasama. madalas pa naman siya di pwede.. pero oki lang, every gimik naman namin is worth the wait.. kasi enjoy talaga ko.. :) and those movies don't include yung mga VCDs na pinanood namin sa bahay.. dami na talaga.. hehe i'm glad i share these simple things with Rj. 'wag nga lang na magyaya siya ng horror movies.. di kaya ng powers ko.. di ba best?? kaya don't even think about it!! hehe love you best!! :)

kung sa effort, at effort din lang.. hayy.. i've tried a couple of times na yayain si Rj ng sine. i wish i was wrong pero i do believe na the last movie na we saw was the "Da Vinci Code." eh ngayong month of August ipapalabas na siya sa HBO.

either, she'd say na di pa daw siya makapag-confirm or she'll tell me na 'yun ang papanoorin nila ng bf niya. it's very frustrating on my part.. sabi ko nga e, "kung sa effort, at effort din lang.." i think it's fair to say naman na i did try.. she just wasn't there or didn't had the free time..

got this from Wikiquote, of course, from "American Film Institute's 100 years.. 100 Movie Quotes" ayos ba? a lot of these lines i've grown accustomed to. some of 'em pa nga napanood ko pa talaga. hehehe! pero madami pa din pala ko di napapanood, like Casablanca or The Godfather installment. :D

i know it's late pero i just had to make an entry before i sleep..

natapos ko na din ang "Harry Potter & and the Deathly Hallows"

pasensya na kung medyo slow reader ako.. at may ugali pa ko minsan na inuulit ang ilang parts just to relinquish some parts more. tapos i only got to read the book as much as time permits me.. so lately, i had to really stop myself from visiting the web sites or blogs i've grown so accustomed to. yep, baka kasi makakita pa ko ng spoilers kahit sa blog lang.

so 'yun.. masaya ako't natapos ko na din siya.. though, i kind of feel sad dahil nga natapos ko na.. hehe gulo noh? there's nothing else i'd look forward to pag pauwi na ko galing ng office. pagdating ko ng bahay, i'd just revert back to my old routine.

i want so much to read more. kaya eto visible na ko ulit online. pwede na ko makigulo, makibasa, whatever, on any news on the book. marami na nga ko nalaman pang iba as i was looking over websites while making this entry. :D

*this was taken last July 19.. it was Powerbooks' display in Robinsons Place Ermita.. hehehe! some teaser noh? really caught my attention.. those boxes filled with Book 7..

* this picture was taken last July 21st, as soon as i got my copy of Book 7.. :)

yep, showing na starting kahapon ang RATATOUILLE. tagal ko din hinintay ang movie na 'to ha. hehehe! at hindi naman ako masyadong excited kasi first day of showing pa lang eh nanood na kami ni Abbie. har har har!

sobrang nakakatuwa 'yung movie. at ang ganda ng pagkakagawa dito ha. ibang level ng computer-generated animation! hehe! for me, it's a real must-see flick. and that's not only my opinion ha, i read it sa ClickTheCity na even the MTRCB recommends it. and mataas ang ratings sa lahat ng web site na napuntahan ko so far. even sa Yahoo! movies. that says a lot na di ba?

i never knew na a RAT could be so adorable in the movies. :)

here does it come from? This quest? This need to solve life's mysteries when the simplest of questions can never be answered. Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we'd be better off not looking at all. Not delving, not yearning. But that's not human nature, not the human heart. That is not why we are here. Yet still we struggle to make a difference, to change the world, to dream of hope. Never knowing for certain who we will meet along the way. Who among the world of strangers will hold our hand. Touch our hearts… and share the pain of trying.

Death is the one thing that connects us all. Reminds us that's what really important is who we've touched, and how much we've given. Makes us realize that ... we have to be good to one another.

We dream of hope. We dream of change. Of fire, of love, of death. And then it happens. The dream becomes real. And the answer to this quest, this need to solve life's mysteries finally shows itself. Like the glowing light of a new dawn. So much struggle for meaning, for purpose. And in the end, we find it only in each other -- our shared experience of the fantastic ... and the mundane ... The simple human need to find a kindred ... to connect ... and to know in our hearts ... that we are not alone.

ganda noh? hehehe! kinopya ko 'yan from the transcript of the last episode of "Heroes" (Season 1). kakatapos ko lang basahin ang lahat ng episodes kahapon. pag wala kasi ako ginagawa sa opis, nagbabasa na lang ako. at ayun nga natapos ko na tuloy.. ahehe! can't hardly wait na mapanood 'yung mga nabasa ko. i think 9th or 10th episode pa lang 'yung pinapalabas sa "Crime & Suspense" this week. eniweis, here's another round of my fave lines.. throughout volume 1 naman ang mga 'to. :)

Where does it come from? This quest? This need to solve life's mysteries, when the simplest of questions can never be answered.

Sometimes questions are more powerful than answers.

That hurt more than I thought it would.

To survive in this world, we hold close to us those people on whom we depend. We trust in them our hopes, our fears. But what happens when trust is lost? Where do we run when things we believe in vanish before our eyes? When all seems lost, the future unknowable, our very existence in peril ... All we can do ... is run.

I could never love you enough.

Sometimes it's better to go it alone. The more people you try and help -- The more people get hurt.

There comes a time when a man has to ask himself whether he wants a life of happiness or a life of meaning. To be truly happy a man must live absolutely in the present, and with no thought of what's gone before, and no thought of what lies ahead. But a life of meaning, a man is condemned to wallow in the past, and obsess about the future.

Zugunruhe - the pull of the soul to a far-off place.

here's my current status in YM:

"haven't finished w/ book 7 yet.. no spoilers please! :)"

kahapon nga, eto ang status ko:

"no book 7 spoilers please!"

i want to finish the book without having to know it's ending or what will transpire in the later chapters. that's why i didn't even read the chapter titles. i was afraid it will just give it away. 'yun nga lang halfway through pa lang ako sa Book 7 kasi nung Saturday i was at USTH (gabi na nga ko nagsimula magbasa), then Sunday, nagpunta naman kami ng Bulacan (and got to read ulit nung gabi na).

i thought i could at least keep up with my night reading and finish the book tonight.. kaya lang, i haven't been feeling good since Sunday evening. maya-maya eh nararamdaman ko ang init ng katawan ko. na parang sumisingaw sa init. nung pauwi na kami nina Abbie kagabi, it grew worse. i thought a little trip sa Ice Monster would cool me down. well, it did made me feel better. pero sandali lang pala.

i felt myself heating up while we were walking and suddenly it was like i can't feel my knees. then later my arms. hayy.. it was so scary for me. i never felt like that before. sabi ko pa kay Abbie, di naman ako nilalagnat pero ang init ng pakiramdam ko. kaya ayun, nag-taxi na lang kami pauwi. i didn't get to read the book kagabi. hopefully i won't have the same scary episode like last night. i woke up naman kanina feeling a lot better. though may time na parang mainit ulit ang nararamdaman ko. hayy.. i don't know what's wrong with me.

so please lang.. no spoilers po ha..

it was a truly awesome night! though medyo madaming hassle for the past days and most especially nung Friday mismo, natuloy naman kaming lahat. though some of us, nearly made it sa 7.30pm call time.. hehe! but all is good. kasi lahat naman ng pinag-reserve ko ng seats eh nakarating. all in all, 8 seats ang kinuha ko, with my college friends: Ava, Cha, Eileen, Jess, & Rheanne; my sister, Abbie; Rheanne's sister, Aigee. and even Rheanne & Aigee's dad was wit us. nahiwalay nga lang siya ng seat sa amin. though mas maganda ata pwesto niya kasi andun siya sa gitna ng sinehan. hehe!

[possible spoiler ahead]

nakakatuwa pa ang mga kasabay naming nanood nun. kung sa pag-react din lang sa every scene eh pare-pareho lang kami. andun 'yung natawa kami everytime Umbridge laughs, or how we all said "aww.." when Ginny glanced at Harry as she was leaving the Room of Requirement, while Harry was heading towards Cho, and we laughed when Hermione tricked Umbridge na pumunta sa forest. how we were awed by the outcome of the movie.. it was what you can expect talaga from a movie that was originally a book.

but like sa mga movie na pinanood namin before, uwian din agad after. buti na nga lang at ayos lang kay sister na mag-stay na muna kami kasi ayaw pa sana umuwi nina Cha at Eileen. and 'coz its a Friday night, nahirapan kami maghanap ng coffee shop na di masyado ang tao. we ended up sa UCC Park Cafe. pers taym lang naming apat dun.. kaya medyo natuwa kami sa bell na pantawag sa mag-serve sa amin. hehehe!

pinili ko nga lang ang pics sa slideshow kasi baka ayaw nina Cha at Eileen na i-broadcast ko lahat ng .. err.. mga nakakawindang na pose nila.. hehehe! nagsi-uwian na kami mga almost 12am na din. we got home ni Abbie ng mga 1am. hehe it was a whole lot of fun. lalo na't commute lang kaming dalawa. ayos di ba? :)

Pey, i love it! ^^ Thank you so much for sharing it and thank you for the gift of friendship. God bless you and you are my friend I will remember for the rest of my life. Someone true, kind, gentle and generous and something who doesn't speak a lot but can make me feel so special. ^^ Mwahhhhhhh!

diane, one of my new friends that i met in Abacast, sent this as a reply to a forwarded email from me.. nakakatuwa lang na di naman niya talaga kelangan sumagot and she still did.. at nakaka-touch pa ang message..

sigh.. even if it's so simple or even it's a little appreciation.. what bliss.. :)

Kat, me, Nina & Diane

kamusta naman 'yun?! showing na today ang HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX!!! at sa Friday pa ko makakapanood.. at hindi sa I-MAX..

[silence]

KAINIS!!!!!

ang ganda pa naman sana ng plano ko na manood sa I-MAX.. kaya lang gusto ko din naman mapagbigyan 'yung request ng mga kaibigan ko from college na sabay-sabay kami manood. so ayun.. ayaw naman nila na next weekend na lang kami manood. nung nagpunta kasi ako last Wednesday (July 4), puno na ang weekend ng July 13, 14, & 15.

at prob pa, Friday lang sila pwede.. kaya kahit may slots pa naman sa Saturday or Sunday.. di din ako makahirit.  eh ok lang sana sa akin na sa following weekend na lang manood.. tutal, alam ko naman na ang story.. well yeah, it's adapted from a book.. gusto ko lang talaga na matuloy sa I-MAX 'coz i've been raving about this for months now.

so i ended up, reserving seats na lang sa Glorietta 4 or Greenbelt 3. medyo nakakainis pa kasi conflicting na naman ang sked namin.. at i've been waiting for all of them to reply to my message kung aling movie sked ang ok sa kanila. ang nakuha ko lang kasi sa Glorietta 4, may 7:30 at 10:30. isa lang ang pwede ko i-retain dun kung hindi ma-block na naman ang "bago" kong gawa na account sa SureSeats.

the last time kasi na nanood kami ng ng guaranteed seating was either "Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire" or 'yung "Da Vinci Code". i don't remember na. eh di ko din nakuha 'yung pina-reserve ko.. kaya na-ban na ang first account ko dun. ayoko naman magbayad para ma-reactivate lang 'yun noh. di ko naman kasalanan at di kami nakaabot sa pina-reserve ko.

as of today, di pa talaga plantsado 'yung lakad namin sa Friday.. nakakalungkot pa nito, di kasama si Rj.. hayy.. parang ayoko na.. sa malapit na lang kaya sa amin kami manood noh? sa SM San Lazaro.. hehe! mas makakatipid pa ata ko nun. :p
