Well that was about two months of net absence due to some technical difficulties, but hey am back, with a burning vengeance, not really just wanted to sound cool.
Review for the board exams eats too much of me soul, especially for a person like me whose attention span is less than 15 minutes. I mean the lessons are good, really helps me refresh the things I should have learned in college. But every meeting is just an excuse for me to eat fishballs, smoke me lungs out, eat Munchers Red, chat with me buddies until our classmates complain and report us, and of course me favorite, day dream.
I would like to apologize to our female classmates since they were the ones complaining for us being too noisy, however,I decided not to. I said I would like to,not that I would really do it,and I don't really care. Ganyan talaga mundo, bawal magreklamo ang hindi maganda. Just kidding ladies, just kidding, am all for the empowerment of the women. Amen.
Instead of apologizing, I'll just leave you guys with a tip for reviewing: Try to answer the materials they give us way before they discuss em in class, so you wouldn't be totally dependent on the lecturer. Don't even eat, sleep nor flirt unless you finish the materials. There's reason why they give it to us early, okay pumpkins???
Manila is totally a new place for me, dahil probinsyano ako, abay may araw pa nakabukas na ang mga ilaw, tsaka may saplot sila sa paa kahit nasa loob ng kwarto. I miss nature that is also called UP Diliman, boohoo.
But review isn't all that bad, I have more time to do what I want, in fact too much time. Am able to read again, in less than 2 months I was able to finish 4 books (Time Travelers Wife, High Fidelity, The Alchemist and My Legendary Girlfriend). If I keep this up I might be able to read the Twilight series, who am I fucking kidding, hell no! High Fidelity is too awesome for me, Hornby you're the man.
Hey it's the season to be jolly. But studies show that the cold is also depressing so, jolly if you're warm, *insert antonym* when its cold. Since I am totally into High Fidelity, and tis the season for making lists as well, I decided to make the Top 5 best films for me. Why films you ask, I think it's the easiest to rank if I was to rank something aside from honor students. Literature,music included, is too difficult, since imagination is a key element in appreciating such pieces, and me imagination is wilder than the wild snails of Sexmoan,Pampanga. I will never be able to rank me top five fave songs or top 5 fave books, it's like asking a parent which child you love most( the eldest???). But movies are most tangible for me, since most of the time no imagination is necessary, what you see is what you get. And oh am talking of mainstream cinema, not the artsy fartsy indie films you watch on campus. Anyhoo here it goes:
#5) Malena (Monica Bellucci) - aside from Monica Bellucci being ultimately hot in this film, the story is genuinely amazing, and since Ive ran out of superlative things to describe this flick, I suggest you simply watch it for you to understand.
#4) Across the Universe - the only musical film I appreciate, Chicago and Moulin Rouge wouldn't stand a chance, it's the Beatles they're dealing with here. So strawberry fields forever for me.
#3) Scarface (Al Pacino) - who wouldn't want to be the biggest dealer of cocaine in their hood? Come on, Cuban refugee to king pin. Though Michelle Pfeiffer is as thin a paper in this film she still was hot. And who could forget the line "Say hello to my little friend!" Hello, little friend. P.S. American Gangster is a sad ripoff of this film.
#2) Almost Famous - You can't help but fall in love with Penny Lane, you can't help but laugh when a bandmate admits he's gay when you thought you all are going to die, and I can't help but day dream day after day after day to be almost famous, so I call forth the demigods of rock, come forth and lock horns with me! (Punks not dead! Tararat ng Taytay! Mga Vampira ng Kyusi! Tulak ng Taguig Kabig ng Dibdib at lahat ng mababasa niyo sa banners ng mga orcs pag may concert)
#1) Little Manhattan - all because here I realized I have the brain of a boy only 10 and 3 quarters and that I keep falling for women who are already 11 years old, hay the tragedy is unbearable. Rosemary!!!!
So there you have it, top 5 movies. Other movies that I really love but didn't quite made the top 5 are 500 days of summer, that thing you do, starter for 10, life is beautiful, and tanging ina niyong lahat,pakyu.
"Bawat taon ay lilipas
Nagbabalik tanaw
Sa mga sinala
Walang saysay
Kung magdudusa pa
Ang panahong ito
Sana'y hiwaga
Sing lamig nanaman ng pasko..."

No facebook I dont want to write on your wall since I have nothing better to say. And since I am stupidly and insanely kind, as usual I'd just keep me trap shut, what good would bashing do me really? A lot me boy, a lot, but for old lang syne me dear, for old lang syne.
