I won a leather journal :D (1 )

5:05 PM

Mukhang Pera, Bury Me in This Dress, and YesNoMeh was giving away a handcrafted leather journal from AmberLuke. It almost slipped my mind until one night, while catching up on Plurk, I read this.

SO I WON! I WON! I WON!

Leather journal handcrafted by AmberLuke

This is the first time I won in an online contest. I was shocked at first. I thought Karen was playing an early April Fool’s joke. XD;

Thank you Mukhang Pera, YesNoMeh, and Bury Me in This Dress!

Recently watched movie/s:

Satánico pandemonium (1975) 3/5
2009-05-17 22:38

Satanico Pandemonium isn't the first nunexploit I have seen, but the first that I've seen from start to end. The low-budget film was shown about 20 years ago. People had wondered why it was not banned since it is a Mexican movie where Catholicism is strictly praticed (or so I know). For me, I'm glad it wasn't banned at all. XD;

Maria is a young, pretty, and very pure nun. Other nuns idolized her. She was also good in medicine. One sunny day, while she picked flowers, a naked man showed up in front of her. Of course, being an innocent and pure nun, she ran away. The sight of the man though became a nightmare for her as her conscience was invaded with dirty thoughts. She punished herself yet she gave in eventually. Not only did she try to rape a nun, she also killed those who got in her way.

I was not anticipating the ending as I thought everything was happening for real... Wasn't it? Except for Maria, all the nuns look evul. D: Especially when everyone started stabbing her. That was beyond weird (not to mention, she was still able to walk and even lie down with a knife potruding from her back).

Event though I believe anyone who's not familiar with nunexploit will be culture-shocked with this, the movie very much fails cinematography-wise. There could be better (or weirder) films of such and I have yet to find them. XD

January movies and frightening nightmares (1 )

4:35 PM

The last movie I watched last year was Avatar in 3D. I watched it alone as an early Christmas gift for myself. There’s nothing extraordinary about its story. The cinematography blew me away which resembles, imo, Final Fantasy X. The lighted pathways and lake, beautiful wild plants, and the fairy-like insects — all of which can be seen in the game. Inspired by the game, maybe?

The first movie I watched 2010 is SHERLOCK HOLMES. A great movie that I even recommended to my family and watched for the second time with them. The action scene’s amazing. I enjoy doing kicking and punching moves, so my excitement level shot up when I saw Sherlock kicking arses.

Jude Law being overly handsome and Robert Downey Jr. being hot hot hot were plus plus plus points.

This is a list of the other movies I saw in the month of January so far. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, as they say, isn’t your typical Hollywood film. The plot was very promising until the storyline had to be changed due to the death of Heath Ledger. The appearance of Depp and Law was great (I swooned when I saw them both), but Heath Ledger was truly meant to be for the character. Too bad he didn’t get to finish it. Zombieland is another of movie I recommend. Watch it for survival lessons in case of a zombie outbreak.

It was only shown recently and only for a week in the country.

Jan, Maru, Ace, and I watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs on 3D last week. We only paid 1 Peso thanks again to PDI for the tickets.

The movie is funny, cute and very colorful.

I think it’s a good watch after Dear John although I heard that isn’t much of a tearjerker.

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging is a rather old English film; released in 2008. Based on the book of the same title, it’s about Georgia living the 14 y/o life of understanding self, school, friends, and boys. Those English boys with deep accents had me ovulating and teary-eyed.

While I’m on the discussion on movies, check this list of 20 Weirdest Japanese films. I recommend Survive Style 5+. The movie portrays what seems to be life lessons. Only weird. One of my female crushes who’s half-Japanese and half-Spanish is in it.

Parents in Seattle’s Best Greenbelt 3
Taken with a BBF

I had nightmares for three nights straight. I feel the need the share them in case anyone has an understanding of these. The first nightmare I had was about my brother. I was at a neighbor’s. A look-alike of my brother came over and informed us that my brother had a heart attack or he got hurt. He seemed calm which pissed me off. I rushed home and told the look-alike that he could have tried to save my brother. Though useless, I still tried all means to. The second was about losing a dog or 3 dogs. They didn’t die, but were dognapped.

In the third nightmare, I lost a special object.

Sometimes forgetting dreams has its advantages. Should these dreams be still clear in my head, I would be worried and paranoid. I thought the third nightmare would be the last for, at least, this week. When I took a nap at work yesterday, I had a short dream about going out with my officemates and forgetting somewhere my netbook. I found the bag somewhere only the netbook was missing.

What do you guys think? My fear of losing someone or something is being visualized by my subconscious I believe.

A day at Manila (2 )

12:51 AM

Tuesday’s another slow and sleepy sleepy day. Staying awake during the Makati Health Development Council meeting was a challenge.

My stomach’s acting up too, so I feel very… Uhh… Indescribable.

I skipped work the other day to get my college diploma and file for an alumni ID. I don’t know how long the security will excuse me for not having one.

Jan was also with me because after the Mapua task, I would accompany her to Manila City Hall. Something was going on in Mapua when we entered the Intramuros gate nearest to the school. Then I remembered Maru telling me that Mapua’s Foundation Week was starting then.

Still the same; food stands still located at this side of the school’s parking

I was getting stares because I was wearing shorts.

I dislike wearing pants because it makes my legs sweat and I feel like lumpia. Me and Jan could blend in with the students, but the shorts gave it away — that we’re just visitors.

Dammit, there were so many kids around. My eyes had a feast. Hrhr~

When I was still studying there, I never got the chance to walk around during foundation week. I either went straight to class then home or I was too busy with the band. One time I let an ex-boyfriend with me and we got to walk around for a bit. It’s rather sad to go alone in such affair. Anyway, we only wanted to buy shawarma.

There was a school organization that held a car show during foundation week. I was excited at first. The excitement got crushed when someone told me that you’d see almost the same car. The rest of the students though were excited about the car models. >_>

Sightseeing while eating

I saw two cute boys. I was able to make eye contact with one. Hrhr~ Jan didn’t see either and LOL’d when I told her about the eye contact. I told her that if you wanna make eye contact, you gotta do something seductive with your tongue. Snake-like tongue movement. *rofl* We were laughing so loud near the classrooms not caring that we were just visitors. Man, how I miss being a student.

Maybe I should pursue creative writing before classical guitar lessons. *pokes Jan*

Anyway, the trip to Manila was only beneficial to me. Jan didn’t get to do anything for her birth certificate and passport papers due to lack of documents. *shakes head* We might have to go back again soon. After inhaling the Manila pollution, we went to Glorietta to meet up with Phoebe for our spa.

We also met up with one of her friends who’s in a dilemma and I find myself being relied on to for it. =_=

Caracol 2010 (2 )

1:17 PM

Got lots I still have to blog about, but I’ll start with this while it’s still fresh.

Marco, Maru and I met up around lunch time to try CBTL’s complimentary drinks. The Banana Choco was good. Chupa-Chups flavor. Hrhr~ Before heading to Ayala Avenue, we walked around GB5 first then headed to the event’s location by 2PM. Better to be early so we can have a good spot before the crowd arrives and piss us off.

LONG roundup of 2009 [Part 2/2] (1 )

11:05 PM

Lately I feel so lost with no hope nor motivation. This is a very delayed hangover from October of 2009.

I know our life purpose is for self-fulfillment, but I can’t seem to be content for that reason alone. This is loneliness speaking, I believe. Seems there’s no point to work hard if there’s no one to share or devote our achievements. I’m sure there are others feeling that way. Anyway, enough about that. I have no one but myself. I am my own comedy character.

Thank you to those who took the time to read the first part. This is the second and last of the 2009 roundup post. Advance apologies for the lengthiness.
