Twilight

I'm kinda behind the raving coz I never really talked about the books in this blog. But I got hooked in the stories (Go Team Edward!!!). I finished reading all four books in record time! I even borrowed the last book from Papita even before he opened it and read it himself!

After reading the books though, I had terrible, bad dreams for weeks. Dreams that could make me scream in the middle of the night.

So Ane suggested I take all things Twilight off my mind and think happy thoughts, read other books. That I successfully did...

Until the Twilight fan in me resurrected upon reading other fans' blogs and after watching the film's trailer. The movie will be shown in Manila the same time as the world premier on 21 November. I'm begging, literally begging, Ane to watch it with me on the first showing in the morning (Nov. 21 is a Friday, and his day-off!!). He said I can watch it after two weeks when everyone else are done watching, so there will be less people and less chance for me to catch any virus. What's that about, eh? Talk about being paranoid, LOL (but that's what my OB wants as well, huhu)! But what about me? I only get to watch it after everyone else has spoilt the moment for me, eh? So I really have to beg, hehe. Wish me luck!

For now, I content myself by reading forums, blogs and Stephenie Meyer's website where I also got a pdf file of the draft of Midnight Sun (Twilight in Edward's point of view). I really wish the author will continue publishing it, even after getting pissed that the copy even leaked out.

A lot to share

The title is so true, I dunno where to start :) I actually ran out of opps to write. I know I should be calling mojo back and digiscrap again but I have a lot in my mind lately, hehe.

Okay, so we were finally able to catch Balls of Fury on Sunday at The Gateway mall (image swiped from ballsoffury.com). It didn't disappoint and had me in tears from too much laughing. I'm just glad I had a really good laugh after having been so down the past week. It's really a no non-sense movie, the plot doesn't need viewers to think much and it is where losers literally experienced "sudden death"...just the same it was something I needed to see :) Master Wong was the funniest of them all, I tell you. The funny parts, however, are all in the first half of the movie that towards the end, it became kinda bleh (sorry for not having the better term, hehe)...a mood that a 12oz. DQ Blizzard cannot NOT change. So yeah, we had some ice cream aftwerwards, and it was all good. :)

On Monday, I was at the NAIA to meet up with my sister's MIL (before their connecting flight to Iloilo) to get my brother's Coheed CDs and this pair:

Yeah, I succumbed again! It's a white limited edition Cia.Maritima Jaguariti US, and isn't it a darling? My BIL is just nice to get it for me, had it shipped to LA to his mom and I it fresh from the airplane :) And now I owe him big time, haha! I already have 11 pairs in total: Silver 2006 Christmas Limited Edition, Lavender Flowers, Pink Sunny, Cafe Slim Season, Cafe Summer, Black Baroque, Blue Pois, Olive Green Camou Butterfly, Black Alert, and Silver Top Crystal...and counting :) mwehehehe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll be playing in a badminton tournament on the 17th! I don't remember the last time I joined one. My partner and I are obviously playing in the lowest level for ladies, there's no doubt about that. And we need to practice! It seems like our schedules don't match and I dunno when we'll be able to practice. Good luck to us! Hehe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jessica Hagedorn will be in Manila to grace the opening of the play based on her book, Dogeaters. That will be on the 16th. Oh, how I wish I can drag Ane to watch it. I own three of her four books and I heard she will be signing books on that day. But I won't be allowed to have all three books signed unless I buy the other one at Powerbooks. They put a limit on the number of books to be signed (if one already owns her books, no need to purchase but is limited to one). But if I buy Charlie Chan is Dead, that would mean I can have three books signed when I'll have all four, by then. Oh, and the 16th happens to be a Friday, and I have meetings on Fridays in Bulacan so I can't possibly be in RCBC at that time. Sigh. Care to save me from this dilemma?!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love watching Marimar and I love it everytime they play this Tagalog song. The lyrics just get to me and I dedicate this song to my one and only Ane (heheh magdedicate daw bah?!?):

Mahal Kita

Kung Nasaan Ka

Sana Ay Naroon Ako

Ang Mahalin Ka,

Yun Ang Ligaya Ko

Sa Aking Puso

May Munting Paraiso

Naghahari Pagmamahal

At Ang Pag-Ibig Mo

Mahal Kita Walang

Hanggang Iibigin Ka

Ikaw Lamang Itatangi Ko

Magpakailanman

Hinding-Hindi Ka Iiwan,

Mahal Kita Asahan Mo

Ang Puso Ko'y Tanging Sayo

Sa Aking Pangako

Sana'y Umasa Ka

Mahal Kita Mahal Kita

Wala Ng Iba...

Kung Nasan Ka,

Naroon Din Ang Langit Ko,

Lahat Ng Araw

Nagdiriwang Ako Dito

Sa Aking Puso

Ang Ating Paraiso

Ang Tahanan Ng Pagibig

Na Di Magbabago

Mahal Kita Walang

Iibigin Ka Ikaw Lamang

Itatangi Ko Magpakailanman

Hinding-Hindi Ka Iiwan,

Mahal Kita Asahan Mo

Ang Puso Ko'y Tanging Sayo

Sa Aking Pangako

Sana'y Umasa Ka

Mahal Kita Mahal Kita

Wala Ng Iba...

That's it for now! :) Gotta rest!

Balls of Fury, etc.

My brother R texted me asking if we would like to watch this movie tonight. I checked Promenade's schedule and the last full show for Balls of Fury is at 1035pm. I was off from work at 10pm and coming from Bulacan, we can't possibly catch the LFS. Rockwell's sched is earlier at 1020pm. Sigh. We've been waiting for this no-nonsense comedy film to be shown here ever since we've seen the trailer in the US. Oh, and we're also waiting for The Game Plan, that's gonna be out on the 7th. And last night, while looking over Ane's shoulder as he checks a forum (!), "we" watched the trailer of Meet the Spartans. It's a parody of 300 and pretty hilarious we'll surely wait for it! Go and find the trailer on youtube :)

Family time is important.

Sundays are important. It is a time to spend with family (after God). Too bad, Ane has to work on Sundays until I dunno when. It is on these days that it shouldn't matter whether we have extra money to spend or not. Eating at fastfoods and nothing fancy would oftentimes be enough, heck, eating at home before going out is usually better on those days. Coffee and desserts sessions (what we call "Starbucking") are amiss. As long as we are together, we are fine. As long as there are no business and work talk, we are fine. As long as we don't talk about our current circumstances, even for just a couple of hours, that is enough.

Like yesterday. The two brothers, the 'rents, and I were at Rockwell. We were able to squeeze in the budget for a movie. Later, I realized we should have gone somewhere else (but not SM! hehehe arte talaga) because the movie cost P161...where was I when this happened?!? Hehe. Or maybe, back in the days, it didn't matter how much a movie costs? Hmmmm.

While everyone else (the lines were loooooooonggg!) were lining up for Ratatouille, we had tickets for The Simpson Movie. The rat movie is pretty nice too (saw it in the States) but the Li'l bro wanted Simpsons, him being a fan. Mom was apprehensive when she realized we were watching cartoons but later, while inside, we could hear her laughing out loud. That's what the movie is. Full of laughter from start to finish. The humor is not for kids though, with it's PG13 rating.

I suggest you watch it too. If only to forget about life (and it's troubles) for a moment. Cheers! :)
