christmas update

christmas update(late)

oh my gulay, i have no internet! my computer decided to not open any programs so i had to re-install my windows. i still don't know when my internet's gonna be back so prepare yourself for a long post. i typed on notepad so that i won't miss anything for a blog.
moving on.

this is a funny thing i heard when i bought my cigarettes the other day.

lady: "miss, may gift wrapper po kayo?"
storekeeper: " meron... marami... para saan?"
lady: "pang regalo.."(DUH!)

i was there beside the lady and i couldn't keep myself from smiling and eventually laughing, so i just stood there and bit my lips.

23rd. so last friday, my barkada got together for a christmas party. everyone was there. including tracy's cousin...(i'm trying to supress a laugh now) jd was also there. and funny thing is, he spent more for food than all of us. haha. it was fun becuase nobody went home early! they all went home early. haha. jd was the first to go at around 2 in the morning. then peter and karen at 5. then elisa, grace and tracy at 5:30, then macky and nolan at 7. quite a night! i just hate the fact that i had to throw about 5 more servings of pancit malabon becuase it was already spoiled. and the pichi pichi too! darn. so anyway, like i said, everyone was there and we were happy.

24th. yuri and i got up almost 3pm because we only got to sleep when everyone else left already. well. yuri slept from 11pm-3am the other night i guess. anyway we went to market market to buy some gifts. oh, we're just the typical last minute shoppers. last year was the same story. and last last year was special because pres was here. and we spent the 23rd and the 24th together. that was my most special and memorable 23rd and 24th haha!

speaking of memorable, it is official. for the first time, i spent the christmas alone hehe. i am now the scrooge, a grinch. i dunno, christmas really doesn't make me excited anymore. bah humbug. i went home at around 9ish on the 24th and i was supposed to eat noche buena househopping through my relatives' houses. but i decided to just sleep for a while. the sleep that's supposed to take only a few minutes turned to be a long one. i woke up at 3 in the morning and celebrated christmas morning eating left overs from the barkada christmas party, drinking the wine that i bought together with the chocolate cake i bought and another chocolate cake that was given to us by jd. i thought: "so... this IS christmas..." i slept at 6ish.

woke up on the 25th 3pm.haha! talk about sleeping through the whole christmas. i wanted to go out but i'm so not in the mood. macky texted me if i wanted to go with him to makati, i politely declined. he called me scrooge again. haha.
this christmas thing is really funny!
and in a matter of 3 hours, christmas will be over. yes! i'm kinda looking forward to the new year. so. until next year i guess!


27th so yesterday we watched exodus. i now know why the title is such. people should go into an exodus... out of the theaters. the movie was such a bore. the story is taken out of the lord of the rings. imagine the fellowship of the rings battling witht the uruk-hai's with aragorn leading the pack. now, imagine bong revilla leading the men into the battle with i-don't-know-whats. think of the tower of mordor. and try to guess what the tower of jay-ar (who was funnily named bagulbol) looks like. imagine frodo trying to escape mordor as it collapses in the end. again, imagine bong revilla trying to escape the tower of jay-ar also. and this just gets better. remember the legions of dwarfs, hobbits, fairies, elves and wizards battling the dark forces of mordor? now think bong revilla, aubrey miles, iya, benjie paras and mura-look alike, tolits battling jay-ar's dark forces. oh my god. i should have just watched lord of the rings!even the cinematography is like lifted straight from the lord of the rings. while frodo is going into the tower of mordor to destroy the one ring, the fellowship also is waging war against the uruk-hais, and bong revilla is trying to fight off jay-ar, and the rest of the tao's are fighting their battles, too. wow.the story does not really explain each of the person's motives. there are times when you just go "huh?! why?!" i'll cite iya having to change wardrobe when tolits was bitten by a weird frog. why?
these being said, i have to give the production, visual effects and the costume designers two thumbs up. great job. if their creativity was put into a better and original story and better actors, i guess the movie will be something we, filipinos, can be very proud of. but that's not the case.
