My baby's back!

*cue evil laughter*

oh yeah, i've got my baby back! after 3 long weeks of being without his company, i got him back *dances around*

and is it a surprise that i'll be mucho sleep-deprived tomorrow, erh, today? today of all days which i have earmarked as a day of study interspersed with lots of rest?

as bon jovi sang one time, "i'll sleep when i'm dead"

Basic Exam

Actually, that's the fancy schmancy title of our finals, which is this Friday. Yay! I'm really supposed to be studying for that darned thing, but I can't seem to find the energy to do so. For one thing, I just moved back to Alabang and the room I'm in still smells like paint! I got a few suggestions to remove the smell -- vinegar, candle, charcoal -- and I am so using those 3... if I get the energy to move. I slept downstairs last night, coz I really can't stand it.

Secondly, I'm just plain lazy to study a few days in advanced of the date itself. I mean, who but the most conscientous student does that anyway? And I am not and have not been that kind of student since... well, never. I like to cram. I think I got to like it a bit more than usual in college.

Thirdly... there isn't a third reason.

Tentative schedule for me: whole of December is for job-hunting. Yay! And I'm thinking I could get away with taking the TLE (top level exam) a week after the Basic exam, if I get the high enough marks that I'm aiming for.

Hopefully, by January I'll be gainfully employed. Cross your fingers everyone.

Scooby Doo vs Cloud

I got me the cd of Advent Children, which I am curious to see as most of my friends have seen it, and they really like the movie. Then again, I am not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination. Just last night, I borrowed my nephew's Gameboy, and I thought I'd give the old games I used to play a go. Man, that was a bust. It could be that the console was smaller than the ones I'm used to. It could be that I'm rusty in those games. It was fun, but not as much fun as it could have been.

I also got the cd of the second Scooby Doo movie, which I haven't seen yet, surprise surprise. The first movie I saw on cable, which reminds me I have got to get the cd of that too, just to complete the series, of a sort.

I am thinking about getting a collection of the Batman movies -- primarily coz I really like Val Kilmer as Batman/Bruce Wayne -- and The Crow movies as well. As far as I know, the latter has 4 out already, with the 5th movie starring Edward something as the main character.

it's not the flu, but something close to a head cold

Yay I'm sick!

hehehe

I've been feeling poorly (gah, such an old-fashioned word) since Friday. I currently can't speak loudly coz it irritates my throat. I've been sniffing and sniffling back PSD, and presently expectorating phlegm. Normal stuff, I guess.

Oh my sandals...!

I cannot believe that old woman! Old being relative but she was definitely older than me but not the grandma old type. There I was sitting innocently in the waiting for it to stop so I can disembark when she ups and stands on my foot! Ouch. And in the process, ruined my sandals when she stepped on top of my foot therefore my sandals and removing a bead from the design, as well as removing the stitching on one of the other flower designs on it.

Argh.

At least her big foot didn't ruin my pedicure hehehe but that's not the point! She ruined my sandals!

I kept thinking of ways to possibly get back at that stranger (I know it's not very productive, but hey, venting is good, nah?)

An' it harm none.

The Legend of Zorro

...and it could easily have been Four Brothers, let me tell you. It was a toss up between the two movies which one I'll see today, but I went with Zorro since I have no idea when the cinema will stop showing it. I hope Four Brothers will still be on next week, as that's when I'm planning on watching it.

Hmm...

Which brings me to a conondrum. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is going to be shown on the 16th. I've already made up my mind that I'm not going to class that day so I could catch it, first showing, if possible, and then I'll stay for three showings. Maybe. I want to stare at Daniel Radcliffe hehehe

Ah well...

So, Legend of Zorro.

I didn't understand half the dialogue coz they (read: Zorro and that kid of Zorro, Joaquin dela Vega and others) sometimes mumble and I couldn't hear the words. I did understand in the end, but heck, I want to listen in on the dialogue sometimes and not just watch for the fighting and the explosives.

Btw, isn't nitroglycerin supposed to be volatile? How come that vial didn't explode when Armand was handling it? Or when anyone was handling it, come to think of it. The train scene, though, was nice hehehe

So Alejandro and Elena got into an adventure together but separately, and there was this priest, either a Dominican or a Franciscan, who was quite funny. And also his bald spot. Really big bald spot on top of his head. The government guys, rather typical -- blackmail and do whatever necessary to protect the whole, never mind the little people who will get trampled on in the process, who Zorro protects.

The kid was cute, Joaquin dela Vega. I read the boy who played the role didn't speak a word of English before, but the director liked him so they cast him. And he had his own moves. Hah! the way he slapped that priest/teacher of his around in the classroom was nice. And that priest/teacher was in all probability a Jesuit.

So, anyway, I could have had an early day today, but I have to meet with a college friend late in the afternoon; she's giving me my invitation to her church wedding, which incidentally coincides with feifu's birthday hehehe Ack, have to buy a dress or a new top. Good thing there's such a thing as a sale these days. I'm thinking, budget outfit, which I know I can pull.

Yabang!
