CATHastrophic Mediocrity

Every week-end, I’m always on a movie-getaway with my hubby(maybe because we’re running out of nice places to go aside from the usual fast food chains and restos we dine in). Well, anyway, here’s the list of movies we watched these past weeks. (We’re not really Toni Gonzaga and Vhong Navarro’s fanatics so I’m sorry if you can’t find their film in my list.. Hek3)

• BODY OF LIES starring Leonardo de Caprio as CIA Agent Roger Ferris working in Jordan  to find those terrorists raising amock. His alliance with Head of Jordanian Intrelligence Hani Salaam (Mark Strong) was put to danger because of his boss Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe).
• QUANTUM OF SOLACE  - I wasn’t able to watch the Casino Royale last year I think. This film tells the story of Bond’s (Daniel Craig) own vendetta for his beloved wife. A story coming back with revenge, more murder, and sinister motives. Maybe this film is just like any other action movies. It reminds me more of Bourne Ultimatum.
• Change of air, MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA - Love it! I’m not really much into guys firing arms and bombing each other. Hek3. My hubby and I almost welled up with laughter when the kid beside us just started singing the song "I like to move it, move it!!". The movie was just starting. Hahaha.. The story opens when Zuba, the King of Jungle was teaching Alakay(Alex) how to fight, when Makunga challenged his throne, and Alakay was caught by poachers. He fell into the river and was drifted away to New York City displayed in Central Park Zoo where he grew up being loved by everyone because of his dancing prowess. He met Gloria, the hipo, Melman, the sickly giraffe, and Marty the Zebra. They are one bunch of animals who were riding an airplane which ran out of fuel, finding themselves in their home, AFRICA. And this is where the story starts for Alex, Marty, GLoria, and Melman… Hhmmmm… Alex, being banished because he was defeated in a fight which he had mistaken as a dance contest, Gloria who was dated by Moto Moto simply because of her plumpness, Marty who finds himself within a group of clones, and Melman who thinks he’s dying of Witch Doctor’s Disease and is itching to tell GLoria he loves her.. Are giraffes supposed to be married to Hippos?????  hehehehe… Better watch the movie guys…..

It’s simply irritating to find yourself talking to a bunch of HUNS - who I think got lost here in ASIA.. Mind you - they don’t know what the word manners mean. I maybe getting too touchy or sensitive with this one. What I really want is something spelled R-E-S-P-E-C-T. I’ve gone enough just to help them out. Air out whatever their concerns are, et cetera, et cetera…. Doing what needs to be done as the president(duh).. But does that mean i have to do the job alone? It’s pissing me off to find myself talking to deaf walls because the people I am talking to just turned their backs on me, heading towards the door. And I myself was almost begging to find descent answers from them. THANKS ANYWAY.

If this is what they want, then they’ll have it. I’ve had enough. Maybe they are independent enough to fix things by themselves. They wouldn’t need me.

I RESIGN!!! BLEH!!!!

It’s only the first month of the semester and yet, I have a lot to finish. Aja!! Anyway, about the PHILNITS exam result. I thought I would not stand a chance of passing any part of the exams. Thanks to the brain-draining accounting questions in the first session (I made a mess of it). Quite to my surprise, I passed the afternoon session which focused more on program design and development (databasing, networks, algorithms). I chose questions on C than on Java - I’m not really much into obect-oriented programming. The C programs we were made to trace were mathematical in nature. I’m not in anyway a fanatic of hard core programming, but I do appreciate logic and math. Kudos to the two guys who passed both morning and afternoon exams. After my thesis, I’d go into weeks of solitary confinement just to pass the morning removal this April 2009. Wish me luck. Hek3.

Anyway, I still have a lot of things to do.. And I thought I would make a personal run-down of skeds and commitments for this month. Wahahaah.. The heck of it all..

Shout out!!

It was a few years back when I last celebrated a special day with someone - aside from birthdays, and alike. My guy is twenty-four years old. And I never expected someone as old as he is would even mind celebrating our first month as ‘US’. Hehe.. So I didn’t care much if it’s our first month. It quite surprised me, really that he kept on reminding me of that occassion. Hmm! I know he’s quite a sweet guy. And it causes that weird chemistry between his serious and naughty side.

It was April 2, 2008 when I first saw this guy open the door and walked his way to the table beside mine. ANd on that first day, I sensed there’s something in him that I should know because he caught my attention without any particular reason. I was just in my OJT those days, and I thought a new face in a crowd of twenty was not important to him in any way. Later in the afternoon, Dirk kidded him to give me a piece of his biscuit. And it went that way almost everyday. I didn’t mind if he notices me or not. He’s just the usual seriuos guy at work. For some reason, I was intimidated by my first impression of him.

It was May 26, 2008 (if I’m not mistaken) when the serious guy started having a chat with me while at work. He doesn’t usually do that at the office. Maybe it was because of a serious business (enrollment of his brother  - excuses!!!). Two days later, we were already sending each other SMS. And the day after, had dinner together over a pizza and some salad. The serious guy evolved to someone quite surprising. He was, in fact, a sweet person after all.

I thought it was just the usual fling I used to have during the last couple of years of being single. And so I dated him for almost two months without any thought of making it serious. His 24th birthday came, and I was invited to give him a small surprise. JJ asked me how long we’ve been together. He was quite surprised to find out that there was no ‘US’.That night, I was asking myself why we’ve been acting like it’s ‘US’ when there’s no ‘US’ really. (to be continued…..)

Hi CS - 4 dudes and dudettes. Thanks for droppin’ by in my page. Pleae click here for the resources you need for the Wednesday quiz in our C# class. That would be on November 12, 2008.

Thanks.. Love you much.. 

It was just 12:00 noon when my group decided to go somewhere, have a steaming pot of rice, and get those sardines and corned beef ready for lunch. We still have 4 hours the most to enjoy staring to nowhere, letting time pass. Greggo and Allen were busy with their piat-piat while another one was busy in the kitchen. Siegfred and Epoy were snoring already. Jim was beside me, stranded in his thoughts, staring into blankness. I wonder what’s with him these past days that he seems to be out of his usual self. Noli did a little strumming of the guitar. And I found myself lost in my thoughts. Everybody were quiet except the drizzles of oil in the sardines and eggs being cooked. I just miss the good ol’ days when the guys and I hang out doing our own businesses. The guys were excited to make me taste their specialty! Hahaha.. It had been so long since I last joined them for lunch. Simply missin’ it. Sorry guys! Hekhek!

Noli played one of my favorite songs, Takipsilim of CallaLily. I simply love it - listening to how it is played. Much to my surprise, the chords of the song are easy to play. I had Noli teach me how. And I did finish playing the song after merely thirty minutes of practicing. I guess I’m back to my old self - the frustrated artist. Hekhek!!
