update on the movie front.
1. History Boys - if you're into movies like "mona lisa smile" and "dead poets' society", this is your baby. I love this kind of movies. :D they are inspiring and intelligent. :D makes me feel like i am intelligent and more importantly, inspired too. I've compiled quotable quotes from this movie but it's on my personal laptop so i'll just post it later. :D
2. Ferris Bueller's Day Off - (I thought this would be the last iconic 80's movie on my list, only to find out that there's "Fast times at Ridgemont High" starring a 30 years younger Sean Penn. That I'd like to watch. :D Then I'd follow it up with "Milk".) So....Ferris Bueller, is one hell of an annoying person. Seriously. Of all the wrong things that he is. What I appreciate the most in the movie is the possibility of being that lucky. Because Ferris Bueller in all of his annoying glory is one lucky human being. Just plain lucky. If you dig in deeper. It's more like the universe thing. If you really want it the universe will conspire to give it to you. (So, maybe I don't want some things enough, or I just lost my touch with the universe lately. Gahd what have I done?! Please come back universe!). On a more superficial sense, this movie stars a very good looking young charlie sheen. I was shocked he used to looked like that. :))))
3. The Hot Chick - surprisingly, I laughed out loud on this one. :D I've heard about this movie way way way back in high school. I remember my gay classmates imitating the kissing thing Rachel McAdams and her on screen boyfriend were doing in the movie. It has been on top of my head for awhile so, why the hell not?!
4. The Avengers - I can't believe the day that I saw this one in torrent. :))) I wasn't expecting a dvdrip until september when the dvd will come out. Just imagine, my excitement when I first saw it...:))) I wasn't able to watch it in the cinemas, because I wasn't really into this superhero movies and the fact that I am scared of watching Chris Evans as Captain America. (What if he fails?!) Anyway, the movie was really funny and I liked it. I even liked diva-Loki-puny-god. :D Was really impressed with Black Widow and thought she will die because of her "bloody red ledger" rambling. Tony Stark is really really witty. :D I love his humor. I like Capt. America, but even though my sisters explained to me that he is intelligent, I still have this dissonance. How the hell does he know all those "plan of attacks"?! How the hell is he so effing NOBLE. Really?! Gaah! And I completely missed out on the whole Capt. America butt thing. I am sorry. I wasn't able to see the fuss about it. They say it was emphasized...but I don't think so...
5. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus - Heath Ledger. The Last movie of Heath Ledger. I love love Heath Ledger and I was eternally sad that he had to die so young! :( Anyway, this movie have Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell. (With the exception of Colin Farell, I love love Heath Ledger and Johnny Depp, and love Jude Law. :D). So with just that the movie is already great. Not to mention it was about a story teller. and the surrealism feel of Dr. Parnassus' Imaginarium is just perfect for my wonky brain. I am just not too happy about Lily Cole. But she has really really big eyes (not to mention a big set of boobs) so I guess that compensates it. Oh! and annoying Anton was played by Andrew Garfield. Not that I am a fan. For one, he was annoying, if he was supposed to be, then Andrew Garfield was good at it. And yeah. I am not a fan of him. Except when he is Spiderman/Peter Parker.

I am not happy anymore.
Not that I've ever been happy with my work.
Ayoko na. I have had enough.
Ever since that uniform incident, I've been weighing scales of
resigning and staying.
And my inclinations, my gut tells me to resign.
It's scary. Yes.
But I have had enough of this bullshit.
Then I realized I will only have the "2 year experience" counter by December.
But before that it's just 1 year and some months.
But I really really want out already.
I asked the universe to give me a sign or an epiphany or something.
Something that would make my decision easier.
And lately, I've been waking up not wanting to go to the office.
I have a series of tardiness already that I really don't mind.
Except for the monetary consequences.
And I always find an excuse not to do my job.
And I keep repeating to myself. Ayoko na.
Ayoko na. Ayoko na.
But the only tangible thing that would come out of it
is that I'd be leaving right after the peak season.
And that would be in April.
I just want out. out. out.

All I want to do is go home. Tuck myself under the sheets and finish "The Girl who Chased the Moon."
*But there is so much work to be done.

I was only able to watch one movie this weekend.
Can't buy me love 1987.
Starring a very young Patrick Dempsey.
Who looked like a young Sean Penn. Hehehe.
For some unknown reason, I like watching 80's teenage movie.
They seem all pop-culture-y.
It gives me the idea of how things were back in the 80's.
Every end of an 80's movie, I don't feel any sense of fulfillment or awe or anything,
but I always find myself coming back for more.
Of the most famous 80's teenage movies, I think I only have one left to watch,
that is "Ferries Bueller's day Off" and it seems like a fun movie. :D
Anyway Hemingway, I realized that the reason I am watching these
different movies, from different eras and different races is that
I want to have a glimpse of different cultures. Of different times.
Which are really really great. Like traveling and time traveling. :D
Like books, only more vivid and more short. :D
I have accepted quite lately, that I am having a shorter attention span.
And I have come to enjoy movies like "running with scissors".
I am trying to explore the "independent movies".
Not that because it's a "hipster" thing or anything.
They seem more real and appeals more to the intellect than any
commercial/superficial human interactions.
But I think I lean more to the lighter kinds of independent movies
than the heavy ones. Maybe later and maybe every now and then
but...yeah...I think I'll stick to the lighter ones like "running with scissors". :D
*On the other side of things, beside movies, I have come back to swimming again. :D :D :D
Water is LOVE.
Sarina said the other day her "joie de vivre" (joy of life) is dancing, my joie de vivre is swimming.
The father and I tried "Ace water spa" a couple of weeks ago and it was way fun.
But not for a cheap price. We paid 550 each for a four hour all-you-can-use amenities.
I got across the water spa when i was looking for an indoor pool that opens early on weekends.
They are open 6 am to 11pm.
We always swim for at little less than two hours and then we go to the hydro-massages and then to the hot herbal pools and the sauna.
Today is my first time using the sauna. It was quite nice. But one can't feel ones perspiration when one is all wet from all the swimming. :P
We had a forty 25m back and forth laps.
I was scared of doing it when father announced we'll be having forty laps this weekend.
Last week we had 30 laps and I almost gave up on the 25th.
The first week we had 20 laps.
But finishing the 40 laps this weekend was awesome. :D
After the spa, I went to sleep. and there's nothing that beats sleeping after a good hard swim, spa and a sauna. :D

*okay. not enough was said about "a dangerous method".
I am into psychology not as much as I used to but it's still one of the many or the few (it depends on your perspective) things that interest me. But somewhere along the way, I got so tired trying to psychoanalyze people. So, I sort of let go of it for awhile.
Anywho, I've always imagined Carl Jung as a Chinese. Racist. I know. But I can't help it.
Only to find out that he's Swiss. and that Sigmund Freud is Austrian.
*Then, last Wednesday night I've watched (with Sarina) Running with scissors.
It was a nice movie. I've never appreciated the 70's the way I've appreciated it in that movie.
The movie tackles about writing, psychology and growing up. :D
I liked it. It was nice. :D
* i can't get enough of Carly Simon's "You're so Vain". :D :D :D
..."I have dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee."
- and Barenaked Ladies' "One Week".
..."I wear my mind on my sleeves".
I love 90's songs. Not the boyband/britney spears 90's songs. (I do love them too (I can't help it I was a 90's kid.).) The grunge songs. The alanis morisette songs. The corrs. The smells like teen spirit songs. Walking on the sun, teenage dirtbag, one week, two princes, semi-charmed life kind of songs. :D eyup! They seem and feel like they are more than just words.

due to very very bad weather, the movies pour on.
1. My weekend with Marilyn. - Marilyn is utterly annoying. I know she had issues. But she's annoying. The only thing I liked about the movie is the period. Marilyn is annoying. I hate girls like her.
2. How to lose a guy in 10 days - nice movie. Sarina knows most of the lines in this movie. I didn't know she likes it that much.
3. Lost in translation - I TRIED watching this one but 30 minutes off from this movie and I felt like I was grossly wasting my time. Although, I can't help but admire Johanson's skin, it looked like her skin was made out of milk. And the "Lip my stockings" part was hilarious. All through out the movie there was this escalating feeling I have that I am scared of Japanese people. I don't know where did that came from. I am usually ok watching Japanese series-es, watching animes and all...hmm...
4. Laws of Attraction. Cooing-ly cute. Cute. cute. cute. The fact that I am enjoying movies like these nowadays, makes me feel I am old. But I don't care. :D

been watching movies every weekend lately.
(still not reading)
Movies I've watched lately in no order whatsoever:
1. A Dangerous Method. - psychoanalysis. enough said.
2. Starter for 10. - watched it because when I've watched An Education and not know what "reading english" mean and sarina knows what it means, I thought am I supposed to get that? Well, I asked her if how she knew what that meant and she told me she just watched starter for 10 that's why she knew. and that's why I watched it too. Not to mention, James McAvoy, Benedict Cumberbatch and the guy who plays Mycroft. Yup, Sherlock and Mycroft in an alter world. :)) Oh and that Guy who plays Tony Stark and Sky.
3. An Education. - nice era. (Tony Stark guy plays Danny here. He's just everywhere.) this movie was calling me yesterday when I wanted to watch something but I don't know which movie to watch. And it just popped in my head.
4. It's Complicated - meryl streep and alec baldwin. so cute! :)) It's been around 2 years since this movie have been suggested to me. This one is a heartbreaker. Mindbogglingly heart breaking.
5. Batman begins - because, I've already watched the dark knight and the dark knight rises and it doesn't seem right not to watch begins. Katie Holmes is just annoying. Apart from that, the movie was good. Full of quotable quotes.
6. Captain America - because! Chris Evans! I was making fun of the movie and capt. america while I was watching it. But the next day, I've always caught myself replaying certain scenes in my head. And base on my experience, it means I liked the movie.
7. What's your number - I know. pointless but. Chris Evans. sorry.
8. Alfie - why? I don't know. Maybe I just want to know how the womanizer mind works.
9. Catch me if you can. - I just want to re-watch it.
10. Down with love - "the darnest thing" re-watched.
(I've watched 9, 10, and 6 on the same day all "vintage-ish" movies. :D )
11. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na - bollywood rom-com movie. I am just fascinated with bollywood movies. :D They are very interesting. :D Culture wise. Eye-candy wise. The women of bollywood look like godesses. :D
12. I hate Luv Storys - another bollywood rom-com. :D
