Gala

There's nothing else you'd ask for when you spend the whole day, getting the things you want and feeding your appetite with satisfaction.

I am just sad though for this is the last day of my real summer. Summer classes begin tomorrow and i'm gonna have to do the thing I hate most.. Wake up early. I was never a morning person. Even when I was in Grade School or Pre-school I hated waking up in the morning. So why am I doing this? to finish my Computer-Graphic Design subject and gain more free time for my thesis next semester.

Anyway, that's not the reason I posted. I wanted to write today's story using my beloved 'Maki' (in short for 'Makintab') and of course to recall what happened today. ;)

I woke up early because we had to give sandwiches for this organization who will be hosting a mural painting with the squatter's children along with their parents. Papa is sponsoring for their snacks and refreshment. After that we went to church in U.P then ate pizza and pasta at Napoli. We went to Metrowalk because we had to exchange a 'rejected' cd then of course bought new dibidis and audio cds. I myself saw the OST of Across the Universe and happily bought it with all my heart. :) Then goes Juno, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison and John Lennon.

After that Papa decided to watch a movie at Greenhills and see Nim's Island. I love it! Ever since i've seen Silence of the Lambs, i've now become a Jodie Foster fan. :) The movie is so light you could just relax and enjoy the island, Jodie, Abigail, Gerard Butler and their adorable animal friends. A must-watch film for the family.



After that we ate at Jollibee. I really wish I could buy that Speed Racer Kiddie Meal but my grandpa would just think i'm being childish again. Then, we strolled around VMall wherein I got accessories for Maki. Did I say cheap? It was actually worth it. Now that I have sleeves and a laptop cooler, all I need is a screen protector and a crystal case. Oh well, still gotta save more! :o

Anyway, I must go now.. Papa's asking for my Lan connection so he could download more songs. :o ciao!

Shutter-ed



Many people have warned me how bad this movie was but out of curiosity, what the heck?

But I gotta give it to them, i'd still prefer the original Thai version. The script was poorly written, actors were not that great and the horror element of the movie itself was NOT scary at all. Is it because I've already seen the original that made me un-surprised of the twists and the ending? Sure.. but the movie could've taken my breath away in another light.

The story wasn't that bad. In fact, it's the only thing that kept me awake the whole time. I'm amazed on how they managed to patch small loopholes from the Thai version by creating a different setting, different characters and still kept the original story. I love the cinematography. They've shown Japan in a beautiful way.. No wonder my sis is obsessed with that country. Although the effects didn't help that much. In fact, it wasn't even scary at all. You have to admit, Americans make good oscar-winning movies but when it comes to horror? they suck. Asians are much better when it comes to this genre.

So if you want to feed your curiosity go ahead and watch. But you'll probably realize later on that you'd rather watch Fools Gold or other non-horror American movies than this. It's just disappointing.

I miss Natre.. her creepiness is just too great for this. :p
