nardong PUTIK!

di ako likas na reklamador, tahimik lang naman ako
pero sukdulan na!
gusto kong mag mura!
ano ba? di ka na nakakatuwa!
akala mo ba matatantiya ko pa ang pasensya ko?
puwes, hindi na!
matagal na rin akong nagtitiis at naghihintay sa pagbabago mo
dumaan na ang di mabilang na araw at ganyan ka pa rin
aba, aba...namimihasa ka yata
pagod na pagod na ako, alam mo ba
mugto na mga mata ko
ayoko ng manatili pa dito
wala kang awa sa lahat ng paghihirap ko
wala kang pakialam sa lahat ng nasasayang ko na oras
wala kang pakiramdam!!!
toot! **** bleep!
sarap mong batukan
palit kaya tayo kahit minsan ng sitwasyon
kaya ikaw, internet connection
umayos ka!
overtime na naman ako neto

bug wars: the revenge of bugs

i hardly slept last night. crap! when i woke up, i feel like i'm carrying my eyes over my shoulders...heavy eyes!!!
it was all because of my dreams. i dreamt about my work! it was a nightmare for me because even in my sleep i can't find rest. i was working in my dream...finding bugs and system errors. it was terrible, seriously. i woke up several times, changed my sleeping position and disturbed my thoughts with anything but work but still i end up with that same screen...Advisen templates. waaaaaaa...

request timed out

when i wake up each morning, i dont know if i want to take more sleep or wake up.
i'm not much of an eye-shutter so i don't get enough rest for my conscious mind. i struggle to conserve every dim part of my room but i can't really seize the morning. as i try to extend my sleep, the morning rays crawls up in my skin and then i'd give up.

i don't know if i want to wear heels or flats to work.
there are days that i feel to red-carpet-walk my way to work and there are days that i'd settle for that comfortable feeling.

i dont' know if i want to ride a taxi or jeepney.
i'm not much of a "waiter". time is precious for me and i always have the feeling of chasing every second. that's why i am often caught between my cost-cutting routine ang convenient-mood.

i don't know if i want an extra rice during lunch.
obviously i am gaining weight (*sighs*). i used to have a fast metabolism, i don't know what went wrong with my body system. i have never gained much weight this fast before. and i don't go for diets because i am a growing girl who needs nourishment.

i don't know if i want to post a blog or not.
i haven't posted much entries in my blogs lately. i just feel like i can't keep up with my raging thoughts (snap snap). there's plenty of stuffs that i want to write but i know that i should not for some reasons. i am learning to control my "sharing-syndrome".

i don't know if i want another cup of coffee.
i am not a morning person, oh no! a single cup of coffee is not enough to boost up my optical nerve. it is not enough to satisfy and kick my working vibe. and due to some healthwise advice, i am controlling my craving.

i don't know which restaurant or foodchain i want to dine.
i am a certified food tripper!!! after work i get confused of where to eat out. i usually settle to the closest from my vacuum point but when i get there i change my mind. i like to try something new but then again i change my mind and settle for the usual meal. hahaha....gemini!

i don't know if i should complain whenever the jeepney driver overcharges my fare.
i don't complain, that's my problem.

i don't know which road to take when going to sasa pier.
i have two options: the less-muddy but dark road and the safe but muddy trail. i know that my basis is not sensible enough...but still i have a hard time choosing.

i don't know if i want to ride a tricycle or walk my way home.
our house is about 200-300 meters away from the pier. a very walkable distance. i just get stubborn in some days.
The list of "i dont know what i want" goes on. Kaya naman nabansagan akong "gulo-gulo". Though i don't have all the answers to what i really want, i know for sure what i don't want. i don't want to dine out alone and take that walk home without his hand held into mine. i don't want to go home without my family. and i don't want a day without listening to my playlist, run around the house with my dogs, have silly and memorable conversations with my everyday people and just everything that i am sure of. (di masyadong madrama noh? walang connection sa office eh)

LSS [last scene syndrome]

Bride Wars
Stars Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway
"Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you'll find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding, but there's also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who's been standing beside you all along."

I gave out few good laughs in this movie. It's hilarious to watch bestfriends take on with each other. What I like most is the soundtrack "This Will Be" by Natalie Cole, I think i'll be using this in my very own wedding.






Revolutionary Road
"Frank Wheeler: I want to feel things. Really feel them."

This is one of my most-awaited reunion of Kate and Leonardo!!! The storyline is a more matured than i thought, it depicts the struggle of a marriage affected by everything surrounding it.




The Reader
Stars Kate Winslet who won numerous awards for her outstanding performance! This is one movie you can't miss. Even after watching it, you'd still think about the characters, the ending, how you wanted the character could have done and not have done...irresistible to like and love!

Michael: I'm not frightened. I'm not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love, will sharpen it, will give it spice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: "Only one thing can make a soul complete and that thing is love."





Changeling
Stars Angelina Jolie, that's enough reason to watch.

"Christine Collins: I used to tell Walter, "Never start a fight... but always finish it." I didn't start this fight... but by God, I'm going to finish it. "


Slumdog Millionaire
I enjoyed this film...smart story-stitching. No wonder it won the hearts of film critic's

Taken
Kick-ass action movie! I can't keep myself behave from my seat watching this movie. Lavet! i remember every scene!!!

Push
Enk! I spent almost 2 hours complaining.
1. No subtitle when characters use foreign language
2. Setting is disturbing and messy part of Hongkong
3. The characters' power are not that jaw-dropping
4. and more blah


Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li
Rants:
1. No subtitle when characters use foreign language
2. I got confused of the characters on who's playing who. They didn't really mimic the cartoon version: costumes, powers, looks, etc


Gran Torino
A Clint Eastwood film!!! There's no room for rants...only applause! *galing ni Lolo Clint*
